‘I took action!’ The model, 66, recalled when she struggled to exercise after damaging her hip, but has since declared she’s ‘overjoyed to be able to move again’ after her replacement

Entrepreneur Christie explained: ‘I love birthdays! I just don’t like the numbers so I pretty much ignore them, I never felt as old as the number anyway…until this year. 

‘After my very nasty break of my right arm and the frozen shoulder it gave me I couldn’t do downward dogs, planks, push ups, and at the other end my hip was getting worse with each passing year and long bike rides left me limping.

‘I started to feel limited! Restricted! Dare I say… old! I just couldn’t get enough vigorous exercise, and with quarantine came banana breads and the inevitable extra pounds. 

‘I must add I felt overwhelmed by the number of injuries I was dealing with ( I’ve been very adventurous! Ouch!) but I realized I just needed to start with one thing and keep moving forward…’ (sic)

 ‘New year, new hip!’ The media personality revealed her surgery news on Instagram earlier this month

The TV and film star went on to detail her ‘action’ plan, which has helped her return to her healthy lifestyle.

Christie added: ‘So I took action , fixed my hip, got the total replacement, and I am overjoyed to be able to move my body again. 

‘I am getting stronger every day, and I like think I’m ready for anything…a hike, swim dive, paddle, ride, ski, and even a big piece of birthday cake! 

‘Hey I can work it off! #takecharge #youarethebossofyou #selfcare #wellness #yougotthis #moveit #positivethinking #healthylifestyle.’ (sic)

‘I was dancing in my kitchen by New Years Eve and today I put on my long fins and explored the coral reefs propelled by my new hip!’ (sic)
