Well, I didn't exactly plan on Part 2, but there were other things I needed to get out before moving on to what this day has to offer, and I'm already behind. :-)
I wanted to give a shout out to Margaret Richard of Body Electric fame, with whom I have been "friends" for many years now. She calls me "Over 50 and a Fox." Only one who does; I'll take it. :-) Yesterday her food for thought ended with, "So, pick up those weights and please don't use age as an excuse." GOOD NEWS for all of us!! I've done just that and it feels so good. This came on the heels of a recent nightmare: While sticking my arm straight out to my side, my tricep fat hung 10 inches down and 8 inches across, like a wall. I obviously dreamed this because of actually seeing my tricep in the mirror that very day and bemoaning this truth: if you don't use it, you lose it. UGH. But the message was clear. And I am so happy to be back with Margaret at 6:00 am each morning (thank you PBS!).
Here's to EXERCISE which, according to REAL AGE'S website (a favorite), is one of just 3 simple rules of health. The other two: Eat right and Sleep enough. Sounds like a plan...
