Great Exercise~

Find Something That Works For You

This photo was taken last Spring with my grand son at the top of the stairs. He said one time was enough for him.

If I am not at the gym I am out running on the stairs. It feels good to change my workouts and it makes my body wonder what I am up to today.

I run up and down these stairs a half dozen times and then run behind them and there are more stairs for me to play on. Great exercise!

I also managed to get in a 2 mile run. I hope you can find what works for you.

Thank-you for visiting my blog and have yourself a wonderful day.

Do You Eat Breakfast?

Posted on 05/22/2013 by PositiveBoomer

I have heard many times the importance of starting my day with a nutritious breakfast. I am sharing my breakfast that I have been enjoying so much. My daughter always says it is so good to eat oatmeal as “it sticks to her ribs”. It keeps us full longer and of course so delicious.

I use Quaker Oatmeal and I find by pouring the boiling water in my bowl and adding the seeds it only takes a few minutes and it is ready to eat after I put in a variety of fruits. I have used strawberries as well.

My Breakfast~

1/4 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup boiling water

1 tsp. chia seeds

1 tsp. sesame seeds

1 tsp. hemp hearts

2 tsp. ground flax seeds

ginger root

banana, orange

almond milk

Find a fitness buddy~

I am consistent at the gym and a few times a week I am out power walking, running and stair climbing. Never to old for fitness.

My favorite Man joins me on my walks when he can.

A Goal To Reach

“The tragedy in life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.”
– Benjamin Mays

Deep down you know you can do it~

It makes me happy that I get up and show up at the gym faithfully.

The best way to end my week. Have a wonderful day and thank-you for visiting my blog today.

Fitness At Any Age

Walk for your Health~

A photo taken last summer. My Hubby and I had gone to the Othello Tunnels in Hope, British Columbia, Canada. Very beautiful all through these tunnels.

I know many of you know how I love my fitness. My husband is not able to join me often, as he is not retired just yet. It is a treat to get out for a walk or a hike together. My Hubby is not a runner, and says he will leave that for me. Silly guy.

I did get some stair climbing done this morning and a 2 mile Run. I tell my husband that it does not matter what he does as long as he is walking or other activities he is doing good for his body as he ages.

I am determined to try my best to keep us baby boomers as healthy as I can.

I hope you were able to do some kind of fitness today.

The only thing better than having you for a MOM is my children having you for a GRANDMA~

I am looking forward to enjoying my day with my children and grandkidlets.

I am proud to be your ‘Momma’

Play. Play and Play!
