Delray Beach- I’m Not Aging in Place!

I may have become a year older this week, but I’m not aging in place.  Larry and I met an angel sent from the heavens a few weeks ago and we started an intense training program this week.  We started on Monday and went every morning this past week.  

We start up again on Monday.  So, I’m NOT aging in place… I’m moving!  Yes, we walk the beach every day and ride our bicycles but we wanted more.

Be careful what you wish for!  Muscles?! Think of what it would be like trying to use a cooked noodle to pick up a big bar of Godiva Dark Chocolate!

“Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.”   Betty Friedan

 

There’s no excuse for our not working out.  We have a beautiful beach for running, walking or sunning.  Some groups head there for group workouts.

Older women are like aging strudels-the crust may not be so lovely, but the filling has come at last into its own.” Robert Farrar Capon

My suggestion…. if you’re considering joining a gym and you aren’t familiar with the machines, hire a trainer.  Even if you know what to do, it doesn’t hurt to check with a professional to make sure that what you’re doing is correct.  

An older gentleman (you know he must have been old if I’m saying “older.”) came up to us while we were working out and said…

Maybe I should hire a trainer.  I’ve been coming here for 4 years and nothing seems to change.

It’s a bit the same in many things we do.  Sellers who want to go FSBO who are wondering why there home hasn’t sold.
 

“Aging can be fun if you lay back and enjoy it.”  Clint Eastwood

Women who say they would never have plastic surgery or anything else to enhance their looks are either lying or under 35.

Kathy, I fell off my work out wagon some time ago. I know I need/want to get back to it ... it's all about taking that first step.

Spectacular scenes, Kathy!  I bought a bike a couple years ago, and ride and enjoy it regularly.  I also swim laps several times a week.  It's important to keep moving!

Kathy Streib I was in good shape before my heart attack last Feb but that of course really set me back. It has really only been in the last two months that I've regained the strength to work out vigorously again like I did before the heart attach.

I'm very impressed. It takes a lot to get out there to the gym each day. That you are doing it together must make it easier. Good for you!

Kathy Streib I've mentioned to you before that when you use the comment tab below a comment that response disappears when someone goes back to "show all comments." You get a ;ot of comments. When I check mine your response is gone. Others are finding this to be true also.

For right now, if you respond the old fashioned way your responses won't disappear.

Bob Stewart has promised to fix this. Buit right now it 's broke.

Bill Roberts

BTW I really want to know your responses, especially to my questions.

Kathy Streib Happy Belated Birthday!  I loved your quotes and the one that women are like fine wine - they get better with age.  Great that you and Larry are doing this together and what better place than Delray Beach!

The best shape I was ever in was when I had a trainer helping me out and a nutritionist in charge of my diet.

My lovely young Texan/Floridian BABE....just saw this on Lenn Harley 's oh-so-appropriate re-blog and wanted to pop by and say LOVE THIS!!!

Just did a 3-mile run on Greasy Spoon Road (yup, you know that one from past posts, including taking that same walk with Ron and Alexandra Seigel ), the first mile and a half is all UP HILL. It is mind over body and SO exhilarating when you reach the top! The endorphin rush that people who don't work out don't understand,is so fan-friggin'-tastic. The biggest rush for me is doing it outside. That combination of body happiness and overall love of being in the out-of-doors is such a blessed combination, one that will never go away for me. 

We even built a Tuff Shed on our new ranch to house our big gym that we're moving from our lakefront home!  It's the one on the right. 

Here's our current gym (and like YOUR Larry, I love working out with MY Larry, too!)
