40, 50, Fit & Fabulous




Well, it's been a little while since an update. Unfortunately my internet connection has been severely lacking and I haven't been able to post on blogger for so long.

I've been working hard, although a little lax in the exercise department. I've managed to do a bit of walking and riding my bike, but it's been deadly hot (for exercise at least), and considering we have no a/c I'm afraid it's been a major setback. I really can't believe we on to our 6th week of temps well over 90 F. In all 15 years I've been back in NY I've barely counted 6 days that hot during any summer.




But the good news is, I've been eating lots of fuit, salads, and smoothies. This is my green smoothie...spinach, strawberries and a banana. Almonds can be thrown in for protein (I own a Vitamix, but I don't think I'd try them with a normal blender). I have found when I'm eating well, that I have more energy, and my muscles are not sore and weak. Today it cooled down a little, so hopefully we'll get a break, I'm badly in need of some stretching. Back on the treadmill this week! Wish me luck!

  5. I must say that this green smoothie, though it looks odd, sounds amazing. Add the almonds and you can't go wrong.
