Harriet...I've already pre-ordered Jorge Cruise's new book and am excited to see what he has to say that's new.
My weight is hanging where it should be with an occasional bounce up and down. At the moment I'm happy with that. However I am making a final push to reach my "goal weight" by my birhtday which is next month.
I have been working out with a fitness group 3 days a week. We do circuit training with some cardo added. When I first started my time for running a 1/4 mile was 2.53 ( two minutes, fifty-three seconds) Last week I ran it at 2:39....I cut off 14 seconds in two months...that from a girl who didn't like running.
I never could have hiked up the Superstition's trail Sunday without my training. As usual, I am the oldest in the group and have most of the girls beat by 20 years...I am almost at the point where I can run with the HS girls....but I'm usually ahead of the pack behind me and trailing the HS girls in front of me. When it comes to push ups, squats and jumping jacks I can beat most every one...not bad for an old broad.
After completing my hike the other day, I told Sweetie that climbing the rocks reminded me of my tree climbing years. Back then I loved to climb to the top of trees and was surprised how the climb this Sunday recaptured that feeling for me. When I'm focused on working out now, my age never crosses my mind, I find that in my head I'm enjoying everything just like I did when I was younger. For that reason I think that motivates me to do more. My mind and body vessels are at two different points at this time, and I'm loving it....
