I was reading an article somewhere I think, Glamour or something one day and there was a list of things you should not do if you are approaching 50. This list was not anything unusual you know, stuff like micro-minis and things like that. I can guarantee you that you will never see me in one of those even when I was 20. Anyway, the list included a nose ring and I have really thought about doing this. I think they are cute and I really wanted to get a small one so I guess the rebel in me said WHATEVER because I did it and I love it! It did not hurt at all either. No telling what I will do next! Someday when I am a grandma I am gonna have to explain the hole in my nose and the tatoo across my bikini line, LOL!
We went out with friends last weekend for dinner and then to a piano bar. It was a lot of fun but obviously we were the "older" ones in there. I mean there were some people that were probably a little older but not by much. We got there around 8pm so I guess that shows our age but around 11pm when I was ready to go so I could go to bed like old people do that is when the young crowd started showing up as if it was the beginning of their night. I remember doing that but now there is no way. I could never stay up that late. I guess the one thing that kind of blew my mind was the dresses that these 20 somethings are wearing, they are really tight and they are so short their ass cheeks hang out the back. These girls are not exactly petite either, they have cellulite and fat asses from the drive thrus this generation has grown up on. It is like nothing to them, a part of life I guess. All I know is, my jaw dropped when I saw their asses and the whole time I was thinking, I would look better in that dress than that 20 something but I of course would never dream of letting my ass cheeks hang out of anything.
On the diet and fitness front I am doing pretty well. My diet has been great but I think my body needs a rest with the workouts. I think I have taken 2 days off since my comp. I have so many little aches and pains and I know that it is my body screaming for me to rest. I am deaf and just do not want to admit it. My shoulder is still sore, my elbow is acting up for some strange reason, my knees are hurting, my feet are killing me (plantar FASHEEWHATER) and ever now and then I get muscle cramps like no other! You have to understand on top of all this I am doing some serious manual labor around my house. I will not bore you with the details but lets just say, I am working hard. The good news is I can do 3 unassisted chin ups now and that makes me feel like a real bad ass! I go around pulling up on everything now, because well, I can!
