Looking Sexy at 60 +

My new fitness
role models.

Okay, I am nowhere near 60 but I hope I look as good as these when I get there.

Oh, well, I don't even look that good now, in my 40s! lol!

Cindy said...: Right, Leonie!

I think these ladies all have someting on common.. good genes! lol

I have a cousin who is 15 years older than me. When I was 10, she was so beautiful at 25... then when I was 20, she was georgous at 35... and I realized I will never look as good as her! I just saw her last year at a family function and she was still terrific and pretty at 60ish.

I am trying now to work out and eat right and take the philsophy that God will make me look how he wants me to look. I often thought that if he had made me really, really pretty than I would have turned into an egomanic mess. !! So he gave me some humility.

But, yes, working out is a great goal. There is a lady at my studio who is well past 60 and she comes more than anyone else. I know b/c I run the computer and see. She is healthy and strong and does low impact and is a real role model for me.

You are a role model too.. you are the same age as I and keep me motivated! We can all do this together. When I fail (esp with eating) I jsut think.. well if I keep working out I am better off than if I didn't.

Anonymous said...: I disagree with Cindy, I think what these ladies have in common is money and lots of time for their personal trainers, dieticians, plastic surgeons, weekends at the spa, etc!

I don't wanna look sexy at 60. Its kinda of creepy. I would much rather look like Mother Teresa, or the holy father, radiant with love. No make up, no hair dye, just love shining through. That is what I need to work on. That is where the real beauty lies.; 2:25 am
Leonie said...: Cindy, I think taking care of ourselves physically is important - Faith, I don't think it has to be an either or. Can't I try to be beautiful both inside and out?

Perhaps I am greedy! lol!; 7:35 am

Prayer of Consecration of St. Maximilian Kolbe

O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to thee. I, N___, a repentant sinner, cast myself at thy feet humbly imploring thee to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to thyself as thy possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases thee. If it pleases thee, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of thee: "She will crush your head," and, "Thou alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world."

Let me be a fit instrument in thine Immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed Kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever thou enters, one obtains the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through thy hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

V. Allow me to praise thee O Sacred Virgin.
R. Give me strength against thy enemies.

Prayer of St Bonaventure

Pierce, O most Sweet Lord Jesus, my inmost soul with the most joyous and healthful wound of Thy love, with true, serene, and most holy apostolic charity, that my soul may ever languish and melt with love and longing for Thee, that it may yearn for Thee and faint for Thy courts, and long to be dissolved and to be with Thee.Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the bread of angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial bread, having all sweetness and savor and every delight of taste; let my heart ever hunger after and feed upon Thee, upon whom the angels desire to look, and may my inmost soul be filled with the sweetness of Thy savor; may it ever thirst after Thee, the fountain of life, the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, the fountain of eternal light, the torrent of pleasure, the richness of the house of God.May it ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find Thee, run to Thee, attain Thee, meditate upon Thee, speak of Thee, and do all things to the praise and glory of Thy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delight, with ease and affection, and with perseverance unto the end.May Thou alone be ever my hope, my entire assurance, my riches, my delight, my pleasure, my joy, my rest and tranquility, my peace, my sweetness, my fragrance, my sweet savor, my food, my refreshment, my refuge, my help, my wisdom, my portion, my possession and my treasure, in whom may my mind and my heart be fixed and firmly rooted immovably henceforth and for ever. Amen.
