Jennifer Aniston is 47, in case you were wondering, and the secret to staying in shape is, according to her: keeping your body confused (as well as: getting up at 4.30am, drinking hot water and lemon plus other healthy shit, hooking up with your personal trainer and exercising for the rest of the day). But, as all that is completely unrealistic, I am just going to focus on the best bit: keep your body confused. Yes, Jennifer my love, this is exactly my mantra.
I am 45 years old and am a guru at confusing my body. Mild-ish abuse at uni, popped out a baby then another then another, which meant fat, slightly less fat X 3, then thin in order to reach a fighting weight of under 52 kilos (haha – funny to think I cracked that one, but I did have pre-school mum’s coming up to me saying they were worried), then popped out another sprog. Since then I’ve confused it with summer body/winter body and alcohol only at a weekend…oh no it’s Wednesday and I’ve had a glass of wine – confusion!!
So, according to the Aniston way, I am perfectly on course to crack on to 50, confused but happy. I won’t be doing the early starts or the all day exercise routine, but I will merrily confuse the hell out of this baby until she collapses in a heap, gasping for air and saying: I did it!
My body is completely confused…..I was slim as a teen (I see pics and think wowsers! you had a good bod but didn’t even know), still ok in my twenties then post 25 it was harder and now with kids, like you, I have been fat – 14 stone(!) size 38F jugs, size 20 clothes and then down to 10 stone. I’m creeping back up again….but definitely confused! #StayClassyMama
I reckon when I hit menopause it’s going to get confused all over again! I’m injured at the moment, so not training much. For a while my body was confused at the lack of exercise – particularly my brain. But now, I feel like I’m just going with the flow! I’m far more relaxed about it. Thank you for commenting.
I don’t think my body will ever be UN-confused #stayclassymama
Same!
Great idea! Everything in moderation that’s the key isn’t it?! #stayclassymama
Absolutely!
Is that a thing then is it ? Body confusion . Sounds more achievable than most anyway ! #stayclassymama
That’s what I thought 🙂 I’m going to whole-heartedly embrace it!
