Having a triathlete as a partner brings up a lot of fitness issues, not the least being the body image of the non-triathlete. When one partner has about 5% body fat, where does that leave the other person? While the two of you may have started out at similar fitness levels, for the majority of couples, the triathlete has left you in the dust. I…

Week three with my personal trainer and I am still alive and very proud to say that! To catch you up, I hired a personal trainer in my goal of getting fit at 46 to workout twice a week for an hour each session. And, I’ll be honest, even that is proving tough to squeeze in. Between everything I’m doing these days and my “stick…

August 30, 2014 It’s another beautiful morning in Mystic and I’m getting fit at 46… David and I walked under the interstate. Being a Saturday and a holiday weekend, the traffic was light. Then, he took off for his run and I did, too. It was nice to head into town along the Mystic River. The view was beautiful and being 6:30 AM, we were…

August 29, 2014 This morning we woke up and had so much time we did not know what to do with ourselves. David’s family gets up and gets going a bit later than we are used to and the meeting time to head to Mystic Seaport Museum was 10:15. By 6:45 AM, we were out the door to head for a run and get me…

August 28, 2014 And then we took the day off from getting fit at 46… Intentions were to get out of bed at 6 AM, go for a run around the beautiful neighborhood around Skidmore College, shower, wake up Sydney, have breakfast, and move her into her dorm at Skidmore. But, then this happened. At 5 AM, our really excited only daughter who’s twin brother…

August 26, 2014 The weather heated up here in New England today, but it didn’t scare me and my new workout buddy (mom) off from taking another beautiful power walk. This time we headed into town. We started on the Hospital Hill Rail Trail Spur with a view of Smith College and the hills. I am used to Texas and Nebraska walks and runs, which…

August 25, 2014 What a wonderful day! I was getting fit at 46 with my mom. It was the best workout yet. We did about 40 minutes of power walking. She is super fast and we talk the whole time! There was no warm up and no cool down and no breaks. But, we talked and talked, which makes the walking even harder. My parents…

August 24, 2014 Wow, I never had an official work out today, but I sure as anything felt like I was getting fit at 46! Go figure… We were moving the first of our twins into their college dorm today. I was really too anxious this morning to get out for a run, but that’s probably when you need it the most – to blow…

August 23, 2014 Today was the first day I DID NOT work out since starting Getting Fit At 46! Yuck! So, knowing we would be logging in a lot of hours sitting in the car, I decided to stay focused on my food. We first had breakfast at my in-laws and I made hubby two sunny side up eggs with lox on top and I…

August 19. 2014 Today was a totally awesome day for my spirit, as I tried to stay on target to be active and not be stressed about my upcoming trip. I am trying hard to remain focused and dedicated to my plan of getting fit at 46. Up early again and finished my new routine of a brisk 45 minute walk with the pups. Given…

August 17, 2014 I am such a happy mother, most of the time. I mean, really like 95% of the time. And, the 5% of not happy times are bittersweet, as in taking the twins to college. Happy for them, but sad they will not be near me…ah, motherhood. So, getting fit at 46 today was about balancing my goals with my family life. Last…
