. But your focus on keeping your figure and your stats...is this really a question about fitness or vanity?[/quote]

Honestly it's both. I like working out and I like looking and feeling great because of it. But I'm not so vain as to become less of a wife, mother, friend, or career woman out of being too obsessed with it. Balance is important, which is why I'm asking what is "realistic." Of course I'd like to keep my figure or statistics. Who wouldn't? Knowing however that the average person doesn't, I'd like to gauge how much of that is avoidable excuses vs unavoidable reality.

Example - I know it's not realistic to hope for a 25 inch waist the week after pregnancy. Or to have a boss that lets you take random workout breaks throughout the day. But I do imagine that just because you're an average working American you don't *have* to remain seated at your desk all day and you don't *have* to get takeout dinners that often and you don't *have* to plop on the couch when you get home.

Forget appearance and weight... I'm 30 years old and I *feel* amazing. Even when I don't get enough sleep I'm always energized, no aches and pains, I don't take any medication for anything whatsoever and I never get sick. Aside from bad genes or bad luck from injuries, I wonder how many of my friends who say "Yeah, but you're 30...it's all downhill from there" are making excuses. Basically I want to know how far hard work can get me and what is inevitable with age.
