welcome to 45 and fabulous!

i seem to be always in front of the computer most of the day writing email, dabbling with facebook, listening to pandora and tapping on my iPhone that seems to be glued to my hand despite my occupation as a trainer. on november 30th, 2009, i've finally manifested my idea of really getting CYBER OUT THERE and officially 'gave birth' to this blog, '45 and fabulous'.

this will be a forum where i'll share my thoughts, actions, contacts and experiences about being in my mid 40's and feeling and looking better than ever. never in my life have i been more fit, more ripped, sexier and, best of all, wiser. was it just my divorce? i don't think i can give my ex that much credit! that said, i'm experiencing the magic of getting older but better...a truth not often burnished nor an ideal upheld in our youth-crazed world.

being a gym owner, i also see LOTS of other women in this stage in their lives--mothers, divorcees, cougars, MILFS, beverly hills moms...you name it.. but all of them at the prime of their lives-- i'll be sharing and featuring their own ideas, passions, secrets, tricks and tips to staying foxy in their 40s.

ever been to paris and noticed how stylishly hot their older women seemed? think lena olin, charlotte rampling... domestically, i think of women aging not just gracefully but incredibly sexily like halle berry, sarah jessica parker, cate blanchett. i'd like to see this project as a tiny nudge in the right direction of getting our society to look at women at this age group a bit differently.

there are NO EXCUSES!



this is my very pregnant friend, corrie safris nolan, who at 9 months preggers, hits a veddy, veddy consistent forehand. so consistent, we call her 'hewitt.' for those crinkling your foreheads right now, this allusion refers to the tasmanian devil, lleyton hewitt, who ALWAYS gets the ball back.

corrie is indefatigable, hitting tennis balls at least 3x per week in addition to her other physical activities like yoga and pilates and being the writer's muse that she is to her husband, ken.

i love seeing pregnant women in the gym working out and continuing their lives despite the extra pounds and heaving about with what must be an unwieldy, ever-growing belly. it truly is amazing and inspiring!

so, if you're feeling lazy, think of corrie and get back on the court! i'll report more on corrie as she progresses. her post-natal recovery and journey back to her pre-pregnancy form will be a lot quicker given active lifestyle.
