    Woman can be uncomfortable with their sexuality at any age. The “Gramma” title cinches it. From now on asexuality is the safe route and who can argue with a Gramma.

    Cheryl, thanks for sharing Marcelle with us,she’s fabulous and yes, definitely not shy but with a face and body like that why would she be?!

    Marcelle, it’s terrible that no one at that party congratulated you on your weight loss. If I’d been there I’d have definitely said:
    “Wow! Well done for losing that weight, you look bloody marvelous.”
    Well, I’m saying it now.

    And congrats too on being a granny of four. I think it’s sad when I kids tell me their grans won’t let them call her Granny so it’s great to hear you embrace it even though you’re just a spring chicken.

    Great inspirational post. We don’t have to feel our age.
    With the upcoming new year, everyone will be on the health kick again hoping to make a change. The thing is to make the change and keep it going year after year (easier said than done for many). This post sure provides the incentive.

    Thanks for sharing!

      Hey there Jimi

      Thanks so much for comment…You so right, everyone goes on a new year health kick which lasts for about 2 weeks before old habits creep back in.
      I can promise you one thing, its really worth taking care of yourself…
      Hope you take good care of yourself in 2010…

      Hello Lance,
      You make an important point about staying in shape. One thing leads to another. Training on your bike will make for a long and healthy ski season and keep you young at heart. Have fun!

    Cheryl,
    What a great guest you have here today!

    Marcelle,
    You are a shining example of what truly living a healthy lifestyle means. And that’s something that, when it starts from the inside – shines through! And you are…a shining example that no matter what your age, life can be about living as we want to! Awesomeness!!

      Hey Lance

      Thanks so much for the lovely comment.
      I cant agree with you more, a Healthy Lifestyle does start from within. I’m working very hard at not putting myself into a labelled box called * Your a Granny so behave like one * LOL

    There is no better feeling than looking and feeling good…and being healthy. Clearly Marcelle knows that feeling!

      Hello Joanna

      Thanks for the comment. Being healthy is no 1 on my list. Nothing feels better than having one’s health. I’m so grateful for being healthy, its something I never take for granted.

    Wow! First let me state the obvious: you look fantastic, Marcelle! Hard to believe you’re 47 let alone a grandmother…simply amazing.
    When you said, “I think it’s a gift we can each give ourselves to take care of our bodies to the best we know how.” I found myself nodding my head…I agree with you 100%. Taking care of ourselves is important on so many levels and effects so many people besides ourselves. (family, friends, etc.) You and Cheryl are both terrific role models for anyone out there who thinks “they’re too old” or “it’s too late”…VISUAL proof that if you really want something and are willing to go after it…you can have it. Getting “outside of the age box” is so important as we grow older (and wiser)…Attitude is a huge part of staying young at heart! Kudos to you for “making your own luck” and taking good care of yourself.

      Hi Fred,
      Thanks for another reminder that age is just a number. You’re someone who’s broken out of the “age box” too. Having the willingness to go after something in the face of other people telling you it’s too late is what it’s all about. Just before I started training in jiu jitsu last year, a friend of mine insisted that I reconsider. He thought I would injure myself and fail miserably. Pleased to report – he was WRONG! :D
