Sunday Update: Aging
This whole business of aging sucks. Not aging — just the business of it. There are so many companies promoting quick fixes for the aging process. Wrinkle removers, sleeping pills, wake up pills, facelifts, neck lifts, tummy tucks and on and on. Then there’s the whole pharmaceutical trip (irony intended). Drugs for one problem that…
Read MoreSunday Update: Trainer Report
I worked with Leah on Tuesday and took the Weight Lifting class on Thursday. I’m still here to talk about it. Let me tell you though – Leah doesn’t mess around. We stretch, work our asses off, stretch and go home. We take a full hour. We run up stairs, we hop up stairs, we…
Read MoreSunday Update: New Trainer
I’ve started working with Leah Feltz, from LeahFeltzFitness.com on Thursday. That’s her weight lifting class from 6:15 to 7:15 pm at Fuller Hall. I made the decision to workout in the evening, because of a change in my schedule. I’m staying up later working on my book and getting up at 5:30 am just didn’t make…
Read MoreSunday Update: Keep Moving
I’ve learned a few things over the last year. I’m stronger than I think. I can now lift more, balance better, walk further. Working out has made a big difference for me. Consistency is key. The weeks I workout at least three times are better weeks. Don’t quit. There have been days I think “why…
Read MoreSunday Update: Sick
I’ve had a sinus infection for over a month now. I’ve had three rounds of antibiotics (in the third one now) and a round of prednisone. Dizziness, lethargy, pain in my face, confusion — all symptoms that have bothered me. This week I did not work out. It’s bothered me – because I want to…
Read MoreSunday Update: Hibernation
It’s my tendency in cold weather to stay home. It’s warm at home. This week I bought a tv, Chromecast and learned how to watch Netflix on the tv. Along with Hulu, Youtube, any website I wanted and anything online that moved. I don’t have cable or even regular tv. I haven’t had in years.…
Read MoreSunday Update: New Thinking
I had the pleasure of attending the Red Carpet Affair this week. It was a black tie event to celebrate the opening of the Webster Theater. I wore a long, swirly vest and a a new gold blouse and palazzo pants. It is a fabulous outfit. But here’s the thing …. it’s too big. The…
Read MoreSunday Update: Interactions
Monday I went to boot camp. Then I helped set up for RVTV. Then I walked almost 13 miles and greeted 4,000 people who were attending the event. Tuesday I went to the doctor. Once a year I go, get my blood drawn to check what they check and they update my high blood pressure…
Read MoreSunday Update: Tired
This has been a crazy,busy,insane week. I’m tired. When I’m tired I don’t like how I look. I looked at pictures this week and I hate how I look in them. Fat. It’s not how I see myself in my head, and when I butt up on reality, it depresses me. How did I get…
Read MoreSunday Update: Listening to the devil
We’re gearing up for three big events in September: Cyndi Young comes the 3rd, RVTV is the 8th and Sheila Scarborough’s workshop is the 17th. That means lots of planning, organizing, herding cats, marketing and stress for me. Normally I’d turn to lots and lots of junk food to get me through. This past week…
