I Believe Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

I believe beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and I realize some men like rubenesque women but that is not me. I am petite and every pound shows. The truth is, I don't want men to have to lift folds of fat to find my hot spots. I want to be a hand full and nothing more. I am solid and curvy, but not from being fat.

So I work out religiously. I love the burn. I love to sweat. I probably lift more than I should at my age but I can, so I do. I can deadlift about 110lbs and might be able to do more. I use 45 lbs weight bars for my military presses and clean and presses and I can leg press about 200 lbs.

I have always worked out even while pregnant but something recently scared me and i upped my ante. I always go to my high school reunions. A lady was standing next to me that I knew and had grown up with. She was dead 2 months later from brain cancer.

I don't know about genetics because my mom passed at 46, my dad at 47 and my paternal grandparents at 48. I am trying to keep the odds in my favor.

I admire your desire to stay fit. I try to myself, but have been dealing with elbow and shoulder issues recently.

@AlienZipper I go pretty religiously except this week because of stress
