Fitness update

2011-06-23T00:17:00.000-07:00

Working out today - took my list and went through it in my home gym. I discovered that I don't have the pully system that I learned on so I had to go with free weights as a substitute. Epiphany! I can do this sans gym. So I purchased my 5 lb weights and I"m ready to do strength and stretching right in the comfort of my own home. Aerobics could work there too if I do the WII but it's nice to have the pool and eliptical options.

Fitness!

Had a fitness evaluation done today. Polina Smith - very nice gal. She is experienced working with people who have tissue health issues. I have my new program and will check back in with her in a week.

Here's Polina

And here's the gym

Horseback Riding

2011-06-19T12:25:00.000-07:00

This was a blast. It's been years since I have ridden and I loved doing it again. The last time I road was in the pineapple fields on Mauii. This morning it was a beautiful day and it was very peaceful out. I didn't expect my skills to come back so quickly. I even cantered - my horse and I both liked that part :) It was a lot of up and downhill and slow moving for the most part but that gave us a chance to look around. Jamie's horse Scotch, pictured here, was a tailgater. My horse, Tonto, very clearly did NOT like that. LoL. Lots of fun. Very cool to connect with a horse again. Pricey - can't do it every weekend and wouldn't want to do the same trail over and over, but it reminds me what fun it is to ride here once in a while, and especially as part of a trip.

Birthday dinner + a surprise

2011-06-17T20:56:00.000-07:00

Dinner with my daughter was yummy. Salmon, asparagus and mashed potatoes. A gift! another book for my collection. This one covered my wedding and my kids being born. Fantastic gift! This is me mid-twenties with my two children.

Jamie said I had to reveal that the photo in the post below was not taken yesterday. So here is the replacement "looking out the window" photo. Notice the longer hair :D
