Day 55

Today I ran 2 miles and it was by far the easiest run I've had of the week.  So I can see my endurance increasing which is great! I plan on just doing resistance training tomorrow, but maybe I'll throw in a little jump rope.  Normally I would take a rest day, but I...

Day 54

Well I was able to run 2.5 miles today and increase my mileage.  Very happy!  I also bought big bottles of water, and finished one today.  I have been feeling like I haven't been able to get my water in, so this was a major help.  Eating was so so today, but I can't...

Day 53

Great run today of 2 miles.  Either tomorrow or Saturday morning I'm going to try for more mileage.  We'll see.  I also got my stretch in today and really took my time targeting my lower body; in particular my hip flexors and hamstrings. I slipped today and had some...

Day 52

Took a break from running today and did some jump rope intervals with resistance training.  I enjoyed the change and the time went by quickly.  Also did core and some stretching.  Tomorrow I have to focus a bit more on the stretching as it is lacking.   As far as...

Day 51

What a gorgeous day in England!   I ran 2 and a half miles, and I feel fantastic.  The temp here is about 20 degrees cooler than in PA and no humidity, so that does help LOL. I plan on stretching and doing some abs before I start my day.  It's such a good feeling to...

Day 50

Rest day/ Travel day It really is a challenge to keep up with your exercise routine while traveling, and especially so when there is a time difference in destination (in this case 5 hours ahead)  Your body gets out of sync, and you battle fatigue. Over the years, I...

Day 49

I did a good weight training workout this morning.  I'm feeling like I'm achieving more strength and definition which I love.  Tomorrow will be a travel day to England again.  I plan on running, and I'm packing some resistance bands to make sure I get resistance...

Day 48

Today I did a 1.5 mile run, did some abs, and then practiced my handstands.  One of my goals to achieve by my 60th birthday is to hold a handstand for 20 seconds.  I did a new record of 8 seconds holding a handstand!  That's big for me!  Woohoo!  Eating is still going...

Day 47

Today I felt I could use a rest....hahahahah instead I watched my grandsons who keep me hopping.  Actually they are an absolute delight and are so good!  But it still takes energy and so I didn't sit today very much LOL.  As I was giving each of them a cookie, in the...

Day 46

Ran 1.5 miles and did Pilates in the evening.  Sooooo important to stretch as well as work the core.   I have to say the eating is going well.  I'm absolutely killin it lol.  And I am loving the fact that I can start to see the results.  More importantly, I feel...
