Ok, now, we are moving on to our husbands sex drive. Well, my husband told me last night that this Christmas Holiday was the best he had ever had due to my change over the last couple of weeks. (Remember, I am the one who started this crazy thread.) He is going to be 48 in June. He has always had a "great" sex drive. He comes from a family of 18 children--so he inherited some good genes for sex. He says we are behaving now like when we were first married--before the kids began arriving. He is EXTREMELY happy about my improved interest in sex. At first he was a bit frightened by my behavior because I was never this way even when we were first married.
After reading everyones posts I think my increased friskiness could be attributed to a variety of things happening around the same time: I finally quit nursing my youngest(I have been nursing babies for over 19 years--not continuously of course), we have both decided after having 2 miscarraiges in 2003--for a total of 4 miscarraiges out of 10 pregnancies-- that we will not be having any more children, my fitness level has improved greatly--I feel really good about my body--at least most of it--thanks to Cathe and her workouts, I have come to the conclusion that this is the life I have been given and I don't want to waste a moment of it--this is not a dress rehearsal, I have stopped thinking about what I don't like about myself, my kids, my husband, my life and I have begun concentrating on what I do like and how I can make things better with the resources I have.
I began working out with Cathe a little over a year ago and I can honestly say I don't know how I functioned before Cathe.
I am in the best shape of my life--physically,mentally, and spiritually thanks to Cathe and all of you on these forums.
When you hit 40 and realize your life is probably half over you can either enjoy the rest and make the most of it or just quit and figure the best years are behind you.
I am going to enjoy every minute I have left and hopefully help those I come into contact with enjoy theirs, too!
Well, I have rambled long enough.
Have your best day ever!

ps. I feel bad that I have neglected my husband for so many years and he has never complained. He is an awesome lover--I can honestly only remember one time over the last 20 years that I did not "feel terrific" during our lovemaking. And I was just too worn out to continue--so that does not really count. He always puts my needs first. I have alot of work ahead of me to make up for the years I have neglected him. But I will do my best! Never give up--Never surrender!
