Shortly after my 49th birthday, I began thinking about the next one. A “big” one in our culture, and what I wanted that to look like for me. I’ve loved being in my 40’s and I want my 50’s to be just as fabulous. Perhaps even more so.

To this end, I couldn’t think of a better gift to myself than that of health and wellness. These are so foundational to the vibrant life I want to live.

Thus, project “Fit Bod 50” was born and is now well underway.

This is a personal project—literally—and truly a gift to myself for my upcoming milestone birthday. Since starting in November 2022, I’ve grown stronger physically,, my workout habits are more consistent. I take time for myself when I need it. I feel better and happier. Do I look “perfect?” No. And I’m ok with that. My main goal here is to improve my strength, mobility, capability, health habits—to step into my fifties feeling fierce and fearless. 😏

Thanks to my trainer at for sticking with me and keeping things interesting and challenging. And pushing me when I need it. 😜 Thanks to the folks at for expanding my perspective on fitness, exercise and encouraging me along my journey. And thanks to everyone who has supported me one way or another over the years. Xoxo

How do you pass the time in the confines of a middle seat on a domestic flight? A nap after feeling swungover from a West Coast Swing dance convention, and an iPad with Procreate to let my mind and my hand wander were a good start to a few days of recovery from a month-long trip out West.
