Cute post. I am skinny already but I have been trying to get stronger. One reason (besides it being fun) that I go to the gym! I’m already stronger than people think, because they try to not let me carry heavy stuff and I brush them off and do it anyways.

Strong trumps skinny every time! I love how Merry (Mary?) discovered that it’s more about the journey than the destination – something I have to remind myself of often!

Detouring from the “perfection” of skinny and just being happy being me and healthy was huge. And I love the muscles I’m building to make me stronger.

I am SO on the strong wagon as well. I am 42 and the first time I ever did a bench press in my whole life was last month. I think of all the time I wasted doing aerobics in the 80s…..doing universal machines in the 90s….then not doing too much of anything until about a year ago. I love to get a little stronger each week. I love the cause and effect of it….lift heavy…get stronger…what a cool concept!

What a great post! I love having muscles & being strong! Certainly makes age 52 look different than people think it should look like!

Weird. I just wrote a blog post today about this same subject.

Geez, not only do we have the same name, we’re starting to think alike

All I know is, when I was wrecking my metabolism on an 800-calorie-a-day diet to stay under 138 pounds because my job depended on it, I wasn’t nearly as strong and healthy as I am at 165. I couldn’t run around the block without walking then. I’m doing my third 5K this weekend and looking for a 10K to enter now.

Everything I do with what I eat and how I move, I do so I can run longer and faster, not to lose weight because some number on a chart says I’m fat. If in the course of getting stronger and faster I lose weight, great. If not, oh well.
