How long has everyone been living the Fit Life?

I've been following a healthy diet and exercising for 34 years! I started out at 19yrs when my ex-husband introduced me to the lifestyle (he was an amateur bodybuilding). Since then my longest break from exercise has been 6 weeks (during a difficult pregnancy in 1985). Other than that I've been jazzercising, jogging, stepping, kickboxing, strength training, hiking, climbing, and trying just about every exercise fad in between. My diet overall has been healthy (but I have my vices...cupcakes, lattes, ice cream, pizza to name a few). When I hit peri-menopause I noticed that although I had only put on a few pounds things just did not look the same...eek. Middle-age spread is not a myth...but you can fight it! So I joined MFP almost a year ago and have learned so much about food, exercise and myself. I has been so worth the effort and time of logging everything meticulously!
