Hi All,

HalGal thanks for the recipe. I most definitely will have to try it. I did make it to the gym today and I walked on the treadmill for 35 minutes. I am somewhat intimidated with the rest of the exercise machines but I know in time I will get over it. I was too late for the Senior stretch class but perhaps I can make it next week. It looked like they were doing most of the exercises in the chair. I may also check out the Pilate class which you work at your own pace.

Mooz -- No, I cannot do the treadmill even in the early morning hours because it is about 90 in the garage even with the fan going. My husband's friend said I should move it into the house and that may be a good idea. All I need to do is convince my DH that it will work!

It's so great to see more folks are posting. These posts sure do come in handy. I am planning on making chicken breasts in the George Foreman grille this evening because it is just too hot to cook on the grille outside.

Talk to you all later. I have to watch Jeopardy and see if Ken Jenning continues to be the winner. Has anybody been watching this young man?

As this thread is getting rather long I will maybe start a new one tomorrow morning. A fresh start is always a good idea!!
Hope you are all having a healthy Wednesday!

Just a quick hello. I had several meeting to go to, so I am just now heading home. I'm not going to the gym tonight. Last night they did a assessment on me. My flexability and strength were good, but my body fat and oxygen (****) not sure what that word is were not good. They age me at 46, but i'm only 42. Said I could improve with more cardio for the oxygen & weight training for the body fat. Of course they tried to get me to sign up with a trainer, which I would like to, but I told the trainer, right now i'm getting just use to the routine. Once I get going I would like to sign up with a trainer.

we'll I need to run... I'm starving and of course I don't have anything good here to eat...

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Good Evening Everyone,

This was not one of my better days. However, I did go to the TV station and did my thing.

Patty -- I think you are correct in getting used to a routine before consulting a Personal Trainer. I checked at our gym yesterday and a PT costs $50 per hour. Does that sound like the going rate? I, too, decided at this time not to consult with a trainer.

I just changed my PCP today because I really didn't connect with my lady doctor. This doctor has been practicing for over 20 years. His office is so much closer than the other office so I am looking forward to seeing him on August 12th.

Has anybody been watching Jeopardy and Ken Jennings? This young man is awesome! I believe it was 35 days as of today, and, of course, $1,194,000 something. We have a virus going around Phoenix--The West Nile Virus--it is spread by misquitoes. It seems to be in the older neighborhoods which have irrigation and large trees. There already have been a couple of deaths as a result of this virus.

If I didn't have to cook for my DH who is a diabetic, this dieting would be so much easier. When I prepare a meal then, of course, I feel I should eat it. I'm sure this is just another excuse for not staying on program.

Take care,
Anita

Hello All

Nita - The personal trainers at this gym are $ 70.00 a hour. I thought that was pretty high, but the trainer told me that they all have degrees, and several certifications with different programs. At that rate, I definitely have to be on a routine otherwise it will be a waste of money for me. We too have the west Nile virus. Last week I had gotten out late and got several mosquitoe bites. I don't like spraying that stuff on me, so in the evening I try to stay in. I haven't been watching Jeopardy but I have seen the news where he just keeps winning. That is one smart man.

we'll I need to run... tonight i'm going to the kickboxing class again.

Hope everyone is having a great day!
