Greetings my fearless followers!

No, I have not fallen off the end of the earth! I am juggling work, teaching and the ever present house preparation for sale!

Caulking the bath tub, spackle on the nail holes in the bedroom, and then repainting the walls are happening in between Zoom sessions and meetings!

A crazy time...interior professional painters did the rest of the house, and this week we have new carpet installation. So disruptive really, and the animals are nervous.

GOOD NEWS, I am sticking with my plan and burning extra calories! Orange Theory is having "All Out Mayhem" week, which is when they do extreme workouts. If you attend four of the six days, you get a free logo hat!

I am on it!

GOAL MACROS: Carbs 30-35% (TOTAL carbs under 100 grams)
Proteins 35-40% (over 100 grams)
Fats 25-30% (under 50 grams)
Calories under 1200 (with occasional tweaks)

Note to Self: FUNCTIONAL FITNESS is more important than the Idiot Box number!

Happy Weekend, my Fearless Followers!

The Idiot Box is finally moving down in a consistent way - small increments but down!

I am incredibly stressed with all the details of moving, home closing there, moving vans, managing the house services to prepare for market and sale here...AND I am doing great with exercise and food. IT is something I can control and it feels good amid the chaos.

I think I hit the best macros right now. Proteins from about 110-125 grams, fats about 35-48 grams, and carbs about 85-95 grams. Calories below 1200 on most days, with exercise five days and as much water as I can push.

Happy Weekend, my Fabulous Followers!

Thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes - it meant a lot to me! Remember, age is just a number. We can stay active and mobile, and strive to be fit no matter our age.

Photo is of my favorite Orange Theory trainer who has known me for over seven years!

I am still working to get my weight back down to my pre-hip surgeries weight, and to continue replacing body fat with muscle tissue. A very slow process, but I have done it before and know I can make a decent comeback!

HAPPY Thursday,

Today is my 66th birthday! Woo-Hoo! I went to the gym and knocked out 450 calories, got a manicure and a pedicure, and am now watching my Red Sox baseball!

We have a contract on a house in Myrtle Beach! So great to be leaving the Minnesota cold. We hope to manage the move in later July!

Birthday dinner will be sea scallops, asparagus, and baked potato cooked at home. Birthday Halo Top for dessert if I have room!

Definitely will be over calories and carbs for the day BUT I refrained from a whole lot of other foods and tried to choose more healthy!

Happy New Week, my Fearless Followers!

So many things on my mind - this is so stupid but...I walked one mile today! Let me explain; I can easily lift heavier weights, and use the elliptical and rowing machine at the gym four days a week. After two full hip replacements, walking more than a couple blocks has been uncomfortable.

I decided to walk one or two days a week on my days off the gym...I did one mile today and was not too sore! Yay...recovering.

And, we are pre-approved for a mortgage loan in South Carolina! This means we can make an offer soon, while finishing up things to get our house on the market in Minneapolis! I already have rented an office space, am licensed to practice, and created a LLC in South Carolina.

Hope we can move to Myrtle Beach in later July. Now, just need to work on a beach body! HA HA HA.
