Double exercise today

Monday, June 04, 2012

I planned on walking with friends today, but it's Monday and I almost always do strength training on Monday. (I've learned to be flexible, but today, I really wanted to do both)

So, I got up early and did my 50 minute circuit training - then I got showered and dressed and walked for an hour with my friends. It was a great day - wonderful weather, good company...just great.

Accountability blog v. 1.0

Sunday, June 03, 2012

Today, I promised myself that I would blog about what I had eaten.

Apparently, I need this accountability. Success!

I ate at the low end of my calorie range and am done for the day.
I ate fruits, veggies and protein and calcium - all from whole-food sources.

It was an eating day I can be proud of.

Conquered the garage

Saturday, June 02, 2012

Well, last week's tractor shed spruce-up was so satisfying that today we dug into the 10- year old garage mess. It took about 4 hours and boy are we tired!

It looks SO much better now! Big smile...AND collapse onto the sofa....

Ugh! The garage is just too much of a challenge, right now. Maybe in the fall. Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm so envious of your having someone to do this with. Then again, I wouldn't want anyone telling me what I have to throw away. But I'd still like company. Did you take any before and after pics? I did on a partial garage cleanup I did months ago and it felt great! But I'm not rushing to get back there and finish. Report Inappropriate Comment

Documentary recommendation

Friday, June 01, 2012

DD and I just finished watching "Young@Heart", a wonderful documentary about a chorus of folks in Massachussetts whose average age is 80 and who will definitely steal your heart.

This 30-year old chorus has an unusual repertoire - no oldies for them! They cover songs from Coldplay, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and Sonic Youth. Their versions of these songs are wonderfully fun and moving, and this whole movie serves to remind us that people are just people - no matter what their age.
