Working Out, Dodging the Rain... and Keeping on Truckin

So, I started my Boomer Boot Camp experience 3 weeks ago. So far, I'm sore, but progressing on the workout part; however, I'm still eating everything in site. My trainers are great, especially Joshua ... he is supportive, understanding and doesn't get rattled by the bitching and moaning of us "oldies." There's only 3 or 4 of us in the group and he's so patient. He asks what hurts and he suggests ways to tweak the exercises to do good and to still honor our aches and pains.

I'm analyzing my progress. First, I'm so angry at myself for being so out of shape. How did I let that happen? Second, I'm seeing the parts of my personality that are so disgusting .. the complaining and whining. Third, I'm really disgusted with how I'm eating and I realize why. Here's my rationalization: I hardly drink, I don't do drugs, I'm currently NOT having sex ... so "don't take away my food." My food is comfort for me at the moment. I mean, look, a girl's gotta have some pleasure in life, right... I mean some pleasure of a physical nature.

Now, perhaps there's a man out there who has something else to offer? Send me an email, a picture and some references and I'll consider it.
Hey, my sense of humor is always in tact!

And, if anyone knows a good health magazine that would be interested in this boomer ... from before to after ... getting fit, let me know. Joshua and I would love it. Remember to check him out at www.mindovermatternyc.com

So, I'll continue to keep you in the loop.

As for other things ... it's been raining for more than 30 days in NYC and yet it's predicted to continue for several more. I hate it. This is a walking city, so there's lots of walking through puddles, with umbrellas. But, the worst part: all the bad hair days. I am a total frizzhead these days.

If I ruled the world, it would rain at night when we're sleeping OR in the evening when we can snuggle up with a warm body and enjoy the romance of the falling rain.
I'm hoping Mother Nature will hear me on this.
The rain also gets me a bit depressed... I'm a sunshine woman and want to be outside, walking, lolligagging, etc.

I hope you all have a great rest of the week .. I'll be back soon.
Happy Summer wherever you are.
