50 and Over: ~~Well & Fit Wednesday!~~

[fox2star]

Good Morning to all that follow:

Today was cardio so I did one of the 40 minute I-Treads. I stepped it up a bit and burned 332 calories!

For those watching Dancing with the Stars: I think the billionaire guy has got to go! Cameron has improved so much and I can't believe the difference in Jenny with just 4 weeks into it. I didn't watch the results show yet. I have it taped to watch tonight.

Today's Menu:
Post Workout: protein drink with ice & water
B: Cherrios with strawberries and skim milk ( thanks Linny!)
S: cottage cheese w/applesauce
L: Ham on WW roll, grapes, skim milk
S: apple & stringster
D: Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones dinner w/extra vegs
S: WW choc ice cream bar

Linny:
If you want to use the I-Tread outside, they have one but you need an MP3 player.. otherwise they are designed for treadmill or other cardio machine use. Your menu was great until you got to that apple pie LOL! :+ . Are you still doing the challenge with your DH?

Josie:
Too bad about the partner.. I found in the past that counting on someone else to workout our excercise with did not usually work. Most often we talked each other out of the excercise and went out to eat instead!:7 . Not many barber shops left! I hope your barber is young!

Jen: we miss you and want to know how your are..

Garance: are you ready to go on your trip or are you gone already?

Have a great day!
Deb;-)

Hi Deba nd those to follow:
Deb: Thats too bad that I'd need a MP3, I don't have one yet.But I do have a spinner,maybe I'll download one for that. Yep, still doing contest with daughter. She was 148 and I was 163. We still haven't decided on a prize for winner. My DH thinks we should buy the winner a piece of clothing.We'll see.
Garance: Areyou still here? I think you said lecture was Oct 24th. If you are already there,have a good time.
Josie: I don't think we have any barbers left in my town. The last one I went to my son was about 10 and that was 10 yrs ago. My husband likes long hair and when I did have it short I looked like my mother(scary). You fired your trainer? She was being paid and not even showing? I quess she won't be in business long.
Jen: I hope all is going well with your physical therapy. I always felt like a wet noodle after PT.
Well its going to get crazy around here for awhile. My DH's niece is coming up today, and spending the night. Then friday is wedding rehearsal and then wedding saturday. She asked my DH to walk down the aisle with her. Her father doesn't have a relationship with her. So will have many family over fri,sat and sunday.EEK! I'll try to post when I can~Linny~

Hi Deb and those to follow,

I will be spinning today. Deb, I have been spoiled in the past.
I had very good partners that were always there and we pushed each other, but both of them moved.

I will keep trying, maybe I will find a good partner that is motivated to keep in shape. For now I have my MP3.

Hi everyone--

I have been so busy that I just haven't had time to post. Yesterday I did Chest and Triceps, Gym Style, and today I did LIC cardio timesaver.

Yesterday I had conferences with all of my students in one of my courses, and a long dept. meeting in the afternoon. Today was my seminar day, and I just came out. Taught the Last Emperor by Bertolucci. Trivia question: Does anyone remember (you are all old enough) what Bertolucci said when he accepted the Oscar for best picture? I will let you know tomorrow if you don't. It's a real hoot. Also had my teeth cleaned this morning and picked up my pounds for England at the bank.

I head for England next Wednesday and my talk is on the 26th, so I have some time to adjust from jet lag. I am also moderating a panel on the 27th, and then I return home on the 28th. A whirlwind trip, but I cannot cancel more than one class or I will feel guilty. It's also impossible to reschedule classes because students have so many different schedules that a common time is impossible.

The weather here is just plain phenomenal. Warm, sunny, just a little fall nip in the air. I am wearing my Diane Von Furstenburg Vogue pattern dress that I sewed this fall. I have made 2 of these, and I always get compliments.

I will be getting my Cathe's this afternoon!! I will let you know what I think. I will probably do the Low Impact one on Friday.

Happy Wednesday, All,

I've hardly had time to catch my breath, so sorry, guys. I swear I'm much busier working half-days and going to PT than working full days.

Another 2 weeks of PT exercises and walking, then I hope to be back doing Cathe and other DVDs right along with you all.

Josie, so sorry about your partner. Maybe you will enjoy just working out by yourself better.

Deb, about the hair question, my hair is super-fine and straight. I'm growing it out from being super-short and in layers. It's best just above shoulder length. Any longer and it looks less and less thick; any shorter and it accentuates my square-shaped face. All my life I've wanted thicker hair, but one thing I am satisfied with is the color. It turned white almost overnight when I was 18, and I've received so many compliments on the color since then. I don't have to mess with dyeing it, which is a big plus.

Garance, lucky you getting to go to England. I've been once, and fell completely in love. I'd move there if I could.

Have a wonderful day,
Jen

Hi Linny,

I did not fire my trainer. I fired my running partner, she has been flacking out on me for the last 6 weeks.

Jen, Welcome back! I can't wait for my hair to turn all white.
My Mom's hair is all white now and it look beautiful.
