Now I don’t know who came up with the saying that 30’s is the new 20’s but I for one am calling that person a damn liar. I am 32 years old in a few weeks and I can assure you that things are happening to my body that didn’t happen to me in my 20’s.
For the last 3 years I have been losing my continuous battle against cellulite. Now cellulite is a sneaky bastard, its sneaks upon you quietly, viciously, and it will hold your body prisoner. First it attacked my thighs now my ever so glorious ass. The battle has now become....PERSONAL. GRRRRR
In my 20’s I was a fairly active person I went to the gym probably twice a week and was able to maintained chiselled abs, lean sculpted thighs and my ass . In my 30’s I have increased my workouts to 4-5 times a week yet I still can’t maintain the body I had in my 20’s. I understand that this battle may be a losing one but some things are worth fighting for.
Keep in mind being in your 30’s is not all bad. While your body may be declining your sense of self increases 10 fold. You come into yourself as a person. You get a better understanding of who you are and what you want and chances are you lived long enough to map out the path to get you there. There is a good chance that you’ve gained your sense of style which is great because you will know how to dress yourself to accentuate your assets and camouflage you flaws. Besides when you’re in your 30s your less likely to be wearing your short shorts, cut tops; so no one should be seeing your cellulite anyways (Which reminds me I really should stop wearing my short dresses....Maybe when I am 35).
Correction someone may see your cellulite from time to time but let’s be honest if they are seeing you naked I am sure you will find ways to keep them distracted.
30’s is not the new 20’s but when you have reached your 30’s there is a good chance that you won’t want to go back.
This blog is about my life as A single black women. My attempts at juggling my career, part-time job, being a home owner and being single. I am trying to cope and unfortunately being only one person it is not always a success. This is my journey.
About Me
- Me and my life
- I am a single black woman in her early thirties who realizes that while I enjoy a few things in life I rarely get to enjoy them. I am participating in this blogging experience to with all honestly try something new and because of the arm twisting of my co-worker. Hell this is cheaper than counselling.To put myself out there. I am a person who uses the computer on a daily basis yet I am still so far removed from technology. I don't use instant messenger..it freaks me out. While I am on Facebook I certainly don't use it as a social site so blogging about my everyday life is far removed from what I do but isn't that what life should be about trying something different. So this is it.

I know that my 20's only ended last year and it still hard for me to even cope with that, as I tell people I am going backwards in age so therefore I am 28, which isn't too far of a stretch since I look it, but I know the body feeling all too well. I had to wave bye to fried foods, white food, over processed food and my soda pop. Now all there is left is raw veggies and tofu. Greeeeaaaat.
