Hmm. I’ve made lots of positive changes in my life. I quit smoking when I got married at 24. That was a biggie.
Also, in that period of my life, I decided that if I was going to be big, I was also going to be strong and fit. I started weight training and riding a bike.
Those are the changes that led me here to this blog and to the book I co-wrote with Tracy, Fit at Midlife: A Feminist Fitness Journey. You can buy it here from the publisher.
I still like this cover better! The publisher recommended against it though because supposedly my tattoos would scare off UK readers.
So yes, overall, I’d say the biggest change is the swap in my thinking of fitness as something you do to look a certain way, namely thin, and instead think of fitness as being about strength and health.
