How fun is that? I'm off to my Dance/Cheer practice class tonight at 8:30 p.m. The late time is a bit tough based on my schedule and getting up at 5:30 a.m., but this is so worth it. The first three classes were awesome. I sucked the first two classes having issues keeping up with the young girls (a couple still in high school), but the 3rd class I didn't suck as bad. The stretching is eventful to say the least -- thank heavens for the Yoga classes the past eight months that I have been taking at 24 Hour Fitness. I have to put a towel underneath my boney tailbone; had this since I was little. The first night when I met our incredible famous instructor, she said "Honey, you are brave!" Love her. I'll check in again. I have another class on Saturday too. I have been practicing those new dance combos all week.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8424848598721442077-7300113615100530106?l=fitnessanyage.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/feeds/7300113615100530106/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2012/01/cheer-practice-tonight.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/7300113615100530106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/7300113615100530106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2012/01/cheer-practice-tonight.html' title='Cheer Practice Tonight'/><author><name>Sharon Simmons-Triple F</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15797100980115545822</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak6XNHQWORM/TuVTyaT8jmI/AAAAAAAAAJM/nu2ZKnmo71s/s220/%25233.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FIeyphSBzI8/TyH4SRmmvWI/AAAAAAAAAL0/qkcSmUvcMbU/s72-c/4x6+by+GordonJSmith+DSC_8580.NEF.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424848598721442077.post-560215794187807965</id><published>2012-01-24T19:04:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T19:06:32.437-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='motivation'/><title type='text'>Defining Moments</title><content type='html'>Many of you have heard me talk about &lt;i&gt;defining moments&lt;/i&gt; or read about them in my book. We have to pay attention to the moment, grab onto it, and then make it happen. If we don't, it becomes just another fleeting idea. It is sort of like &lt;i&gt;Opportunity Knocking&lt;/i&gt; -- you know the rest. It doesn't come knocking very often.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a wonderful defining moment a few months ago, and then I argued with myself about the notion to actually make it happen which is not like me. Then, I thought -- WHY NOT? That's my answer. I am in full preparation right now to try out for the fabulous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. How fun is that? I have never been a cheerleader or had any dance training, so this is obviously challenging. That's also what I said when I started out in fitness. I am taking two dance classes a week from two different instructors, and in classes full of incredible young women and having the time of my life. I do believe, this will be a first in NFL history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned, and I'll blog as often as I can about the experience. And remember, you are never too old to make it happen. You have to believe and then work your butt off!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.triplef.me/"&gt;www.triplef.me&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8424848598721442077-560215794187807965?l=fitnessanyage.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/feeds/560215794187807965/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2012/01/defining-moments.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/560215794187807965'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/560215794187807965'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2012/01/defining-moments.html' title='Defining Moments'/><author><name>Sharon Simmons-Triple F</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15797100980115545822</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak6XNHQWORM/TuVTyaT8jmI/AAAAAAAAAJM/nu2ZKnmo71s/s220/%25233.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424848598721442077.post-887341015395577752</id><published>2011-10-25T17:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-25T17:34:31.606-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Do you look your age and/or feel your age?</title><content type='html'>Today, one of my team members from my "real job" made a comment that was age related about me competing, and he very quickly said "But Sharon, I don't think of you as being 55 -- EVER! I think of you as much younger." How old do you feel? How old do you think you look? If you feel very positive about both, then you are good to go. If you have any uncomfortable feelings about either question, then it's time to examine why and then make some positive changes. It may involve a simply make-over (hair, skin treatment, nails, grooming things . . .). If you feel older than your age, then that could be detrimental to your lifespan. Maybe it is time to examine your nutrition plan, your workout plan (if you have one), and finally your view of yourself in general. Appreciate who you are is number one. If you make changes, make them positive first for you and then for your family. They love you and want you around for a very long time, so do them a favor and really dig deep inside and ask these two simple questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kOtVi8jWVAE/TqdVg27RHnI/AAAAAAAAAIc/omhK-B6Zuhc/s1600/cheerleader+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kOtVi8jWVAE/TqdVg27RHnI/AAAAAAAAAIc/omhK-B6Zuhc/s320/cheerleader+2.jpg" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.triplef.me/"&gt;www.triplef.me &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8424848598721442077-887341015395577752?l=fitnessanyage.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/feeds/887341015395577752/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2011/10/do-you-look-your-age-andor-feel-your.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/887341015395577752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/887341015395577752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2011/10/do-you-look-your-age-andor-feel-your.html' title='Do you look your age and/or feel your age?'/><author><name>Sharon Simmons-Triple F</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15797100980115545822</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak6XNHQWORM/TuVTyaT8jmI/AAAAAAAAAJM/nu2ZKnmo71s/s220/%25233.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kOtVi8jWVAE/TqdVg27RHnI/AAAAAAAAAIc/omhK-B6Zuhc/s72-c/cheerleader+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424848598721442077.post-5386252932954708730</id><published>2011-10-09T07:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-09T07:09:15.455-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My Goodness -- you are NEVER too old!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eGbpS6Sujhw/TpGq6JFzSxI/AAAAAAAAAIY/9SUvuv2ByXk/s1600/Trophy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eGbpS6Sujhw/TpGq6JFzSxI/AAAAAAAAAIY/9SUvuv2ByXk/s320/Trophy.jpg" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Absolutely one of the most awesome feelings in the world!

To me, my success comes from doing what I &lt;i&gt;want to do&lt;/i&gt; and loving it. I don't measure it by how much money I make at this point in my life (although it certainly doesn't hurt). Success to me is the ability to live my life and enjoy others and things around me -- sometimes seeing things in this perspective for the very first time. It means that I am appreciating things that maybe before I didn't feel was important or I simply didn't even notice. Success to me means going to a job that I enjoy doing, earning a competitive wage, doing a job that I am proud of and enjoy the people that I work with. Success is appreciating family members for who they are now and not what I want them to be. Success to me is striving for excellence in all that I do in the hope that I might influence others around me to do the same. While I will always strive to be better in all that I do (it is inherent), I feel satisfied. I am successful. How about you? &lt;a href="http://fiftyfitfabulous.net/"&gt;FiftyFitFabulous&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8424848598721442077-7579406230840796046?l=fitnessanyage.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/feeds/7579406230840796046/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2011/08/success-what-does-it-mean-to-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/7579406230840796046'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/7579406230840796046'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2011/08/success-what-does-it-mean-to-you.html' title='Success - What Does it Mean to You?'/><author><name>Sharon Simmons-Triple F</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15797100980115545822</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak6XNHQWORM/TuVTyaT8jmI/AAAAAAAAAJM/nu2ZKnmo71s/s220/%25233.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424848598721442077.post-1372328245432976417</id><published>2011-06-27T18:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-27T18:02:44.701-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ms Fitness Magazine article</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mU0AC0FU7Xo/TgkmnXIqUeI/AAAAAAAAAIA/AuOxumacbT8/s1600/article.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mU0AC0FU7Xo/TgkmnXIqUeI/AAAAAAAAAIA/AuOxumacbT8/s320/article.png" width="247" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Check it out!!!!

You have to consider -- "What is the goal?" Then make your shoot all it can be. I want to land a part, and my agent is trying to make that happen for me. Thanks so much for everyone that is supporting my efforts. Remember, if there is a dream that you haven't realized yet, make it happen!

I had full intentions of only competing in the fitness category, but on a whim and fluttering stomach, I made the very quick decision to compete in Bikini America. It was one of the best fitness decisions I have ever made; I had an absolute blast! I have found a new passion, and I fully intend to pursue this fun and vibrant category. The ladies are able to express themselves with passion and an&lt;i&gt; underlying&lt;/i&gt; alter ego that is just fighting to come out to entertain. Some of the veterans were wonderful to assist me with the bikini and theme wear that is required for the part. I am very proud of my placement; I achieved 7th place out of eleven. To top that off, I placed in the top five for the very first time at a National fitness event -- I placed 5th place in Fitness America Classic (2nd place in swimsuit). Two of the most proud moments are when my husband tells everyone about his wife's fitness achievements, and the other one is my daughter posting on her Facebook for all to see how proud she is of her mom setting such an example of hard work, dedication, and goal setting for my grand kids. This makes it all worth it. What other 54 year young GiGi can say that? I am living the dream.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8424848598721442077-4949666149860178250?l=fitnessanyage.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/feeds/4949666149860178250/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2010/11/cherishing-maturity-gracefully.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/4949666149860178250'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/4949666149860178250'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2010/11/cherishing-maturity-gracefully.html' title='Cherishing maturity gracefully'/><author><name>Sharon Simmons-Triple F</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15797100980115545822</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak6XNHQWORM/TuVTyaT8jmI/AAAAAAAAAJM/nu2ZKnmo71s/s220/%25233.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sgmKnz5s4sA/TO3KRJ8UfAI/AAAAAAAAADs/4g7BbnErwSI/s72-c/Sharon+FAP+2010+%2523+2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424848598721442077.post-6023975059849955398</id><published>2010-10-26T17:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-26T17:40:22.431-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Competing in Fitness at 54!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sgmKnz5s4sA/TMd0s5Qw6bI/AAAAAAAAADo/OKtV0efVmzA/s1600/Wild+Thang+%28for+sure%29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sgmKnz5s4sA/TMd0s5Qw6bI/AAAAAAAAADo/OKtV0efVmzA/s320/Wild+Thang+%28for+sure%29.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I can't help it; I have to share. This is the week for both mental preparation as well as the physical aspect of competing in fitness at 54. I don't have doubts any more; I am passed all that. If I don't know it by now, then I don't have it -- and I do have "it." I feel strong, confident, and ready to compete with some of the most incredible women that I know. I will enjoy it, because they are my friends first, and then they are my competition. All we can do with anything that we approach in life is PREPARE, and that I have done for months now. The feeling is like none that I have ever known -- really hard to describe. Makes me sweat just thinking about it. When I get on the stage to share and entertain, it is exhilarating. The applause (and please do) just revs me up to do more, jump higher, and smile more. Still have to worry about the small things -- eyelashes, spray tan, and will my chicken stay cold enough. All in all -- I love it. What can I say. I leave this coming Friday for Colorado Springs to compete with an incredible group -- Triple-A, and I am really looking forward to it. I pray first for safety and then for success. Then it's off for an incredible event -- Fitness America Pageant Weekend in Las Vegas.

The effort involved is a step toward meeting your goal for nutrition and exercise. So we will reward you, in our theory of a &lt;i&gt;small wins strategy&lt;/i&gt;. It is based on dividing up a larger problem into limited units that can be attacked individually. You will feel empowered when you celebrate small wins towards the larger goal.&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an excerpt from my book &lt;i&gt;"Triple F - Fifty Fit and Fabulous"&lt;/i&gt; in the chapter regarding Goal Setting - The Process.

Everyone wants to think it is as simple as buying one of those crazy machines you see on TV. This reminds me of that movie where the guy picks up the hitchhiker, and the guy is really nuts. He is telling the driver about a new invention he has, "The 7-Minute Abs." The driver asks him why it isn't called the "5-Minute Abs" or the "2-Minute Abs" or even the "1-Minute Abs?" You get the picture. It is easy to sell these contraptions, because people want the easy way out. I had the famous "Invisible Abs" -- you know, the "No-See Um Abs."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate to break it to you, but there is no easy way out. In order to stay fit and healthy, you gotta MOVE IT! There is no such thing as "spot-conditioning." Just by lying down and doing five minutes of abs on a roller or by sitting in a metal chair raising your legs up and down will not get you a terrific set of abs, you have to perform all-over body conditioning for your entire core muscles and eat properly.&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;This is an excerpt taken directly from my book.

Dreams are what makes a teenager want the perfect family life with the white picket fence. Dreams are what makes young people think about becoming President. Dreams are what makes us always want better for ourselves and our families and strive for excellence. Dreams are what I have each and every single day of my life. Dreams are actually what keeps us growing and&amp;nbsp; becoming what we expect of ourselves and what others dream and aspire for us. Dreams give us something to hope for. Dreams are what influenced me to compete in fitness. Dreams are what inspired my first book. That's what dreams are made of. I just had one of the most incredible experiences of my entire lifetime. Competing with some of the most gorgeous, talented, and athletic women in the world at Ms. Fitness USA in Reno, Nevada was an experience that I will never forget. I dreamed about being on the stage when I had a defining moment one day and decided to make it a reality; isn't that the way it is supposed to happen? Isn't that how dreams work? If you dream it, believe it, and then make it happen -- that's what dreams are made of. It all started with a defining moment (an idea) and then a strong belief in oneself and the rest is history. How about you? Are you living your dreams? Think about it for a moment. Ever thought about an idea you once had and said "I could do something like that." Well, I ask why not? Try it! I am living my dreams, and it is a feeling I cannot hardly describe. I am having that same feeling about my second book -- the next dream . . .

GiGi gets to perform a Fitness Routine "Wild Thang" with Granddaughter sitting on the front row with her mama (my gorgeous daughter) right behind her. It was so cool watching her facial expressions change with each competitor when they walked out on stage to do "their thing." When all the male bodybuilders came out, it was hilarious. She didn't know quite what to think with all those muscles. Then with all the pretty girls and the wonderful swimsuits on with all the bling -- her eyes just got bigger and bigger. I could see her little face with each move of my routine, and I watched her eyes as I came around to do the kicks and rolls. Her greatest joy was saying to her mama "GiGi can teach me how to do a toe-touch." She was referring to my V-Jump, where by the way my daughter told me very proudly that my toes were pointed and I actually touched them. I don't quite frankly don't remember a thing! When you are performing, sometimes it is a complete blur. This is a moment that I'll never forget. At 54, it is one to chalk up in the textbook of "greatest moments" -- performing with my family -- my granddaughter -- front and center.

I'll be competing for the first time with my new routine and new outfit this coming weekend, July 31st just outside of Ft. Worth at The Sterling Building on Kroger Street. You can click on to my website www.FitnessAnyAge.com for complete details under the competitions tab. There will also be muscle, figure, bikini, and of course Fitness. I'd love to see everyone's smiling faces and hear your cheers. If not, please keep me in your thoughts. It is not always about winning truly; it is about being in the moment. When I walk out on the stage - I own it! The minute I hit the stage, I am a winner no matter what just because I am there. All that being said, I am still a competitor - which is why I love coming home with the trophy - nothing wrong with that.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8424848598721442077-428815534764088333?l=fitnessanyage.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/feeds/428815534764088333/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2010/07/competition-next-weekend-july-31st.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/428815534764088333'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/428815534764088333'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2010/07/competition-next-weekend-july-31st.html' title='Competition - next weekend July 31st'/><author><name>Sharon Simmons-Triple F</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15797100980115545822</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak6XNHQWORM/TuVTyaT8jmI/AAAAAAAAAJM/nu2ZKnmo71s/s220/%25233.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424848598721442077.post-1514958587858367760</id><published>2010-07-14T17:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-14T17:36:13.311-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ms Fitness USA new costume</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sgmKnz5s4sA/TD5Xh7FVc7I/AAAAAAAAAB4/Ka6Y9nvuxlg/s1600/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sgmKnz5s4sA/TD5Xh7FVc7I/AAAAAAAAAB4/Ka6Y9nvuxlg/s320/photo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sgmKnz5s4sA/TD5XsL092VI/AAAAAAAAACA/Ek3Xt-IgU2A/s1600/photo%283%29.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sgmKnz5s4sA/TD5XsL092VI/AAAAAAAAACA/Ek3Xt-IgU2A/s320/photo%283%29.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I am so excited.

I can't release the exact details, because I want all of you to be as surprised and excited as I am. Trust me, I am dealing with the best designer in Dallas, TX and she has made my costumes for five years now.

You might think differently about yourself. Your friends may look at you differently. Your spouse or significant other may not be able to relate to you anymore. I interviewed a lot of individuals while writing my book about this subject, and the feelings are so true. Anytime we may a change to ourselves, whether it be in our appearance or our approach to life, we feel concern how others may view us. Ladies and Gentlemen, please don't allow others to influence your decisions about your good health choices. If losing weight is something that could potentially save your life, help you become healthier, feel younger and more attractive, or just to fit in that favorite pair of old jeans -- then go for it! This is your choice. I am not saying anything negative about the choice to do otherwise, because that is your choice also. However, if making a change in your lifestyle produces a weight reduction, then go for it and don't allow anyone else to set your limitations. The people that I spoke with during my journey of writing my book were concerned about this very topic. I have heard the people treat them differently after they lose weight; there is even jealousy and resentment. There was one lady that I spoke with that said her husband would basically encourage her to eat more of the bad stuff and say bad things to her to discourage her. When we decide to make life changes including our appearance, health, education, careers, we may encounter jealousy and resentment. I have experienced this when walking into a gathering that is for mainly for people over 50, and they find out what I do (Fitness Competitor) and see me. I have been treated differently; the women sometimes won't talk to me and they are uncomfortable -- this is sad. I want to talk and share like anyone else; I just have different goals and ambitions for myself. I encourage anyone reading this to go with your instincts, ambitions, and desires to better yourself. Life a healthier lifestyle -- make changes for the better. You'll love it as I do. &lt;a href="http://www.fitnessanyage.com/"&gt;www.FitnessAnyAge.com &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8424848598721442077-3242767077160450770?l=fitnessanyage.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/feeds/3242767077160450770/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2010/07/do-you-ever-get-feeling-that.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/3242767077160450770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/3242767077160450770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2010/07/do-you-ever-get-feeling-that.html' title='Do you ever get the feeling that . . .?'/><author><name>Sharon Simmons-Triple F</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15797100980115545822</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak6XNHQWORM/TuVTyaT8jmI/AAAAAAAAAJM/nu2ZKnmo71s/s220/%25233.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424848598721442077.post-1971599547615500604</id><published>2010-07-10T09:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-10T09:18:36.212-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Fitness Over 50 article</title><content type='html'>What a BEAUTIFUL article that Peter with &lt;i&gt;FITNESS OVER 50&lt;/i&gt; just published about me -- I am in awe and must share!!!!

I just returned from my grandbaby's 4th Birthday Party where my other grandbaby, who is eight, was in attendance along with my beautiful daughter and her incredible husband. What an exciting feeling to be able to watch your grandchildren grow up healthy and strong and to ALSO be healthy and strong. This should be a wake up call for each of you to make better health choices nutrition-wise and exercise. This is your prescription to a longer life. Think about it. Do you want to watch them grow up; do you want to participate with them when they are running and playing; do you want to be there to watch them graduate and get married and have a family of their own? If you are thinking Yes, then this message is speaking loud and clear to you. Make some life changes for a healthier lifestyle -- now. Do it for you. I am so grateful that God has granted me the health, endurance, determination, and inspiration to tell others about my blessings. I am a Fitness Competitor at 54!

Mushrooms are the only plant-based food group that contain Vitamin D naturally -- really. Once they harvest these luscious Sun-Bella mushrooms, they expose them to ultraviolet light which provides a three-ounce serving of 100% of the daily value of Vitamin D. If you don't have enough of this precious vitamin in your bloodstream, it could be more difficult to lose weight, especially fat. Plus, with insufficient amount of Vitamin D, this has been linked to obesity and abdominal fat!!! Ladies and Gentlemen -- wash a mushroom today and put over salad, steam, or saute. Delicious and healthy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8424848598721442077-709865048222908820?l=fitnessanyage.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/feeds/709865048222908820/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2010/04/mushrooms-anyone.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/709865048222908820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/709865048222908820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2010/04/mushrooms-anyone.html' title='Mushrooms anyone?'/><author><name>Sharon Simmons-Triple F</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15797100980115545822</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak6XNHQWORM/TuVTyaT8jmI/AAAAAAAAAJM/nu2ZKnmo71s/s220/%25233.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8424848598721442077.post-6636098149374275221</id><published>2010-04-24T16:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-24T16:44:19.389-07:00</updated><title type='text'>New article from MORE.com</title><content type='html'>Hey gang!

My firm belief is “Fitness is for Any Age” and age is simply a state of mind. I started competing in fitness competitions at the age of 50 with no previous training whatsoever; I had never been a cheerleader, taken gymnastics, or dance. I had always worked out in the gym and been active overall, but with no experience I had a defining moment one day at a kickbox class – to compete in my first fitness competition at age 50. Long story short, I have over a dozen competitions under my belt now in my fifth year (numerous first place titles and second place titles with much younger competitors). I compete every year with Ms. Fitness USA® and speak across the U.S. at competitions. My goal at 53 was to publish my first book; I have done that too. My first book is titled &lt;strong&gt;“Triple F” – Fifty Fit and Fabulous – Proof that Fitness is for Any Age&lt;/strong&gt;. I would hope my story would encourage women and men OF ANY AGE to believe in themselves and live their dreams. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I also work full-time managing commercial office buildings, wife, mother of two, grandmother of two, and I completed a Master's Degree in Organizational Management at age 50. It is fantastic being a woman! My moto about being a Woman and Fit over 50 is it provides me with the confidence I need to be a powerful woman while unleashing the sexy soft side of me that loves to live, laugh, and enjoy all aspects of the most incredible time of my life. – Sharon Simmons (53) -- Author and Competitor &lt;strong&gt;“Triple F” – Fifty Fit and Fabulous - Fitness is for Any Age&lt;/strong&gt; available at &lt;a href="http://www.triplef.me/"&gt;http://www.triplef.me/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.fitnessanyage.com/"&gt;www.FitnessAnyAge.com&lt;/a&gt; and amazon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8424848598721442077-7720184496377293946?l=fitnessanyage.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/feeds/7720184496377293946/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2009/12/fitness-is-for-any-age.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/7720184496377293946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8424848598721442077/posts/default/7720184496377293946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://fitnessanyage.blogspot.com/2009/12/fitness-is-for-any-age.html' title='Fitness is for Any Age'/><author><name>Sharon Simmons-Triple F</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15797100980115545822</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak6XNHQWORM/TuVTyaT8jmI/AAAAAAAAAJM/nu2ZKnmo71s/s220/%25233.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
