All the woman over 29

SO I turn 29 tomorrow

I want to know is it true that the closer to 30 things start to, um, shall I say start heading south? I am not looking forward to it. This is the last year of my 20's. They were rough but over all I had fun. Is there anything I should start doing now to get ready for the big 3-0? My DH is 38 and he says its no big deal but he is a guy. Things don't start changing on them till closer to 40.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I don't want to get older

Happy birthday for tomorrow!

Thank You WellingtonCats

Nah, I don't think so.
If you take care of yourself, your body will take care of you
Only thing I noticed was a drop in my metabolism, but not until 35.

And Happy Birthday

Well I have already stopped eating junk food and try to walk regularly. The good thing is my new job is anly about a mile away so I can walk to work, plus its a grocery strore and it requires a lot of lifting and oving so I will get a work out at work too.

Thank you Arlyn

Thank you for your comment dawnofsierra.

I have recently started a new spiritual growth thing. I think that has helped me in a lot of ways. I know I will start to reflect more on what mistakes I made in the last 9 years and how they helped me prepair for the future.

On a side note, in referance to the quiting smoking thread. I am a smoker and always said I would stop by 30. So this is the last year of doing things that are bad for me.

Oh yea and to help you more too dawnofsierra, my DH says woman are like fine wines, they get better with age, so we always have that

best wishes KarmasMom! and fear not your age! I am 34 and I don't even think about my age. Its just another day, another year. Its what you do within the time that makes life what it is and also how you feel about yourself. If you worry about whats around the corner you won't appreciate what you HAVE right now! allow the child within yourself time to play, kick leaves in the fall, make snow angels in the winter, pick flowers in the spring and run through sprinklers in the summer. Stay young at heart and have a Happy Birthday

THank you for the kind words Blueyes.

I do try to do that because you are right, you are only as old as you feel. I still collect Barbie dolls. Granted now I can get the really nice ones that I can't play with but they remind me of when I was a little girl and it helps. If I lived somewhere where there was snow I would be all ovver the smow angels but in SoCal we don't really get seasons at all.

I just tend to get all reflective and emotional around my birthday. When I turned 15 I cried because I was half way to 30. Now 30 is right around the corner

hey, if you still collect barbies you are on the right track! Plus you have the pink panther as an avatar! I'm soo jelous, he's my fav. cartoon character!

You will get to the pink panther, just keep on posting.

No, so far everything is staying where it should

As Arlyn said the only thing i really noticed was a slow down in metabolism and, unfortunately, a tendency to put a few pounds on

So best wishes for today

Thank you VampireCat

You think your living a good life now?, wait until you hit your 40's!

I have about 4 more monthisish to be a teen, i am dreading the number 20!
i have already moped about that in 10 years ill be dreading the number 30!! because its going to go soo quick!

I am 38 today and I have never felt better about myself. My thirties have just been the best time. Through out all that has gone on in the last eight years good (marriage, new home) and bad (lost a business, family illnesses) I have been able to handle it with so much more grace and humor. Many of my older female friend say it just keeps getting better. I want to live like that loving every phase of my life.

Trust me it does!

Happy Birthday Karmas Mom. Enjoy you day. It just keeps getting better and better.

Don't be so worried about turning 30 - truth is, it's all over after 25! So your best years are already behind you!
Just kidding, like the others, I have found life generally gets better with age.
And really, it's pointless to worry about aging as it's inevitable and natural and happens to everyone- unless they die young and that would really suck a whole lot more than a few extra pounds and a wrinkle or two.
