MILFF factor

I am sure by now most of you are familiar with the almighty MILF. But for those of you who are not up on your acronyms MILF stands for “Mothers I’d like to F*&^”. Yup, those teen age kids who are your offspring’s friends have graciously given us mom’s an intriguing conundrum status. Wow! Should we be flattered or indignantly insulted. I for one embraced the compliment but am standing firm on the action. I love the idea that a young man would find a gen joneser woman attractive, we are definitely not our moms gen. Thank goodness all those hours in the gym and the regularly scheduled botox appointments are paying off. On the other hand, the thought of the actual implication is not at all appealing. I have to admit I really liked the compliment and the young man who bequeathed the title but I did have to wrestle with it in my mind for a bit to find the proper framework for all involved.

I spent some time thinking about what do with this glorious stature I’ve been bestowed. I found that by simply adding an extra “F” to the acronym I’d come up with something I can wholeheartedly embrace. It is “Mothers into looking Fit and Fabulous”! It definitely says what those kids are saying but in a much more mature and mom appropriate way. It is everything I stand for and believe in and a designation I’d like all Gen Jones moms to OWN.

All women yearn to be seen as desirable and attractive to men. No matter how young or old we seem to instinctively know how to bat our eyelashes and demurely smile to get the desired acknowledgment from the male species. We all go to great lengths with make-up, hair, clothing and shoes to look our best. That is the frosting part. To truly be a MILF we need to get the core. Everything positive in our life emanates from the inner beauty that comes with a strong body. We all tend to do our daily dose of hail mary’s, I shoulda gone to the gym this morning, I coulda parked at the end of the parking lot and walked to the front of the store…but I didn’t. This is where the mind set has to shift.

The American College of Sports Medicine is not pushing, but is suggesting that all people get moving. Several years ago they published “exercise lite” guidelines for general health and well-being. The recommendation is that every U.S. adult accumulate 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity every day of the week. One way to do this is a brisk two mile walk.  But if you can’t take the time to do your 30 minutes at once, you don’t have to. Exercise is cumulative, so intermittent bouts of activity will add up to substantial benefits. Walking up the stairs instead of taking the elevator – counts, walking instead of driving short distances-counts, pedaling on a stationary cycle while watching TV-counts and working calisthenics into your day like when you are stuck in traffic in your car- COUNTS. This all adds up to a tremendous change in your physicality, it will reduce the risk of chronic disease, improve your quality of life and enhance your MILFF stature.

Now there is no excuse to get your body moving. Make these simple changes to your daily routine and every Gen Jones female can proudly wear the MILFF moniker.

your grass is green.
