Getting Fit at 46 while my trihubby gets back into training has been very interesting…He started with a new coach and a nutritionist, which means I also have a new nutritionist. But, that’s a whole other good story that I will share later. The story behind this post is that a friend asked how dinner was going with David’s needs and my needs, so I…

GETTING FIT AT 46 – A RUN, FAMILY, FOOD & ICE CREAM

August 31, 2014

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…

GETTING FIT AT 46 – RESCUING EARTHWORMS

August 30, 2014

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…

GETTING FIT AT 46 – LOBSTER ROLL SPLURGE

August 27, 2014

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…

GETTING FIT AT 46 – NEW WORKOUT BUDDY

August 26, 2014

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…

GETTING FIT AT 46 – SOMETIMES LIFE GETS IN THE WAY

August 25, 2014

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…

GETTING FIT AT 46 – REAL FOOD FOCUS

August 24, 2014

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…

GETTING FIT AT 46 – READY, SET, HERE WE GO

August 23, 2014

August 22, 2014 It was an easy morning. We so took advantage of our cancelled flight last night and lounged in bed, rather than jumping out and hitting our workouts. Well, his workouts. Mine, this week, have been a bit later, but they got done. It was nice not hearing an alarm clock at 4:30AM. We will both go for a run later today, after…

GETTING FIT AT 46 – WHEN A FLIGHT CANCELLATION’S GOOD

August 22, 2014

August 21, 2014 Do tears count as weight loss when you’re getting fit at 46? They better, because that’s pretty much what I did most of the day and mostly about nothing. Today is the day we start our journey taking the twins to school. I get up at my usual time, while the kids are still sleeping. So, of course working out kept being…
