Sunday Is My Day For Rest and Relaxation & I'm Wiped Out!!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with RE/MAX Executive Realty - Happily Retired 104763

It’s NFL Sunday, and that’s my favorite day of the week NOW!!! Go Patriots, and they’re having another incredible game against the Miami Dolphins. 

Of course, I have my laptop open, and I’m pounding away at the keyboard. I think best with a background of TV programs that I enjoy. If it’s not football, it’s NCIS Los Angeles or Chicago PD.  I’m big on criminal justice shows.  I think Kathy Streib is also.

My day began when the YMCA opened at 7:00am this morning. I had my 30 minute HIIT session focusing on upper body. My daughter texted me and asked me to train her at 8:00am. 

I was pleased that she contacted me for that task. We went together ,and Tammy had a good upper body workout also. I had her do resistance ropes; gymnastic rings; and parallel bars for full body lift and leg lifts. Of course, I had to show her what I wanted her to do, so I had a second workout.

I’m NOW wiped out. Hey, I’m 73, and it doesn’t take much to wear me out with double workouts!  She wants me to train her until she loses 10 pounds. I think she just needs to tone. That will take 4 weeks, and she’ll be in great shape.

She agreed to narrow her “eat, drink and be merry” days to one a week, while I’m spending time training her.  The way one “works out in the kitchen” is more important than how one works out in the gym!!!  I’m a true believer.

Antonio Brown just got a touchdown. He’s our latest and greatest!!  I know no one wants to hear this, but I’m confident the Patriots will have another Super Bowl Ring. I hope they go for           ALL-TEN-RINGS!!!

Now if that didn’t go up your butt sideways, nothing will!!!

I should be taking some of your advice.

I was worn out after walking for many hours at Longwood Gardens on Saturday and the day trip drive.

Good afternoon Barbara. College ball generates better interest for me these days. And, I need to workout more consistently. Enjoy the games today!

It sounds like it’s time for a vacation of sorts. Rest up well and get back at it again even better!

I put in a rough Sunday digging a dry creek bed at my home, and loading it with rock.  I also went swimming earlier in the morning.  I'm wiped.  No swimming today, but will go sit in the health club Jacuzzi when they open at 4:30 am.  I hate to also mention this, but it's KFC's Chicken and Corn special day (every Monday).  That's a thigh, a leg, mashed potatoes, corn, and a biscuit, for just $3.99.

Morning again Barbara.

I'm on a self imposed professional football ban. I do enjoy the college games.

Good morning, Barbara... I'm a fan of criminal justice shows, as well. And the medical ones, as well, now that I think about it.

Hello Barbara,  I am always amaze at how much you work out and how young you are.  You are a great example of  what we should all be doing.

Consider it up my butt and sideways but, hey, that's half of the fun of the sport - the competition and razzing of other teams...and their fans, Barbara!!

Like you, love the criminal justice shows (NYPD Blue is a fav too). 

To your kitchen workout vs. gym workout point - while I agree that we must keep our muscles in shape in the gym and we must engage in cardio each and every day, I am convinced that for those over-50, the kitchen workout is an absolute requirement! It is also important at younger ages but, boy, there's no ignoring it as we age!
