DO YOU NEED TO EXERCISE AFTER 50
How many of you saw the title, Do You Need To Exercise After 50, and thought about the word “need?” There is a big difference between need and want. I “need” to exercise, but I don’t “want” to exercise. As we age, our bodies are changing, and not necessarily in a good way. Our knees give us trouble, our backs ache, and don’t get me started about what jumping up and down does to my bladder. Lol!
I hate exercising, I am just not one of those people who like to sweat and hurt. Go figure! BUT, I really hate the flabby arms that wave at people, or those dimples that are anything but cute, on my legs and rear. So Sandy and I decided to start attending a “beginners” exercise class. One of our friend, the energizer bunny, is teaching the class. She is brutal!!! I would hate to see her advanced class.
The reason I mention this, is because I can barely type after tonight’s class. I am exhausted, sleepy, and just plain lazy. So, I am glad that I don’t have very much jewelry on, or a lot of clothing to have to link to. Haha The Merci t-shirt is one of my favorite graphic tees. It fits perfect, without being too tight. Because it is navy, I think it helps me to look thinner, and the color is good for my eyes. Here is where I wore it earlier this year. Which outfit do you like best?

I think this is the first time I have worn flip flops on the blog, in fact I am sure of it. This are a very comfortable pair by Sperry. I like that they have a lot of cushioning in the sole of the foot, unlike the plastic flip flops you see all the time.

I’ve linked to my leather Vera Bradley tote before, so I’ll spare you this time. If you have never seen it before, go under the heading at the top right of the blog, and type in the search box. It will being you to any previous post that talks about Vera. That works for anything, converse shoes, Dooney & Bourke purse, or even hair tutorial. My shorts are a light turquoise/sea foam green. They seem to be a mix of those colors. I like the length, I think they are 6″ inseam. It seems most of the shorts I have found this year are 4″ inseam, and Joe does not seem to be a fan of me wearing those to work. Do you really think those 2 inches are going to make a difference???

My fingers have given out on me; I am going to bed. I am so tired, I may even sleep through the alarm clock. It is a good thing this blog have a timer button I can set. I hope you ladies have a wonderful Tuesday. Leave me some feedback. That is how I know what to talk about.
The comment section is at the end of the post, so keep scrolling. I look forward to reading all the comments, they make my day.
This is also something I WANT and NEED: I have added a subscription button to the blog, right under the recent posts tab. I would appreciate it if you would take the time to sign up. You will then be notified by email when a new post is made.

Ok I’m 68. I look down this blog. I have 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. AND I AM NOT old!!! I play football with my grandson, shop with granddaughters and paint my own house. This is my favorite blog. Originally from KY living in FL. Think I’m ready to see some snow!!! Love you & your blog. Love all the bright colors!!!
Have you done a blog about your makeup, specifically, foundation? I think it looks great. I viewed some makeup Monday’s, but they were from 2015.
whoa. Fifty is not old, but it’s time to rename this blog. I get a kick out of Baby Boomer blogs who all talk about being 50 when GenX is 50 now. Time marches. . .
I can certainly relate to the bat wings!! At 67 I have just started working with a trainer twice a week.., ouch!! I hurt all over but I know I will love the result (if I survive )…Love your blog !
I hate excesses too! I really need it but I just can’t follow though. 😉 Love your outfit very much! 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words on my blog. Don’t forget to come back every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to link up with me again!
Take care and keep in touch! 🙂

Great tip on how to search past topics!
Thank you?
I am also new to your blog and enjoy every post. I am turnng 65 this year and NEED to excercise but find all kinds of excuses from the bad knee to bad weather. But very soon I will be on the golf course trying to improve my game that all went south a year ago. Thanks for the Inspiration.
I would never have thought to put those two colors together but you look great! That’s what I love about you and your blog. You give us ideas that we wouldn’t try otherwise and as usual, you make everything look great! I’m with you on exercise-I know I need it but I don’t like it. ?
Tania I’m mad at you – you don’t have any knee wrinkles. LOL! Seriously though, you are looking fabulous as always! I’ve been trying to get back in the swing of things concerning exercise, but haven’t quite made the time for it yet. Exercise completely exhausts me!! Instead of wearing a t-shirt with “merci” on it, I would have to wear one with “oh mercy!” on it. haha! Happy Tuesday!
