I now have a Power Plate and my own mini-treadmill. As much as I love exercise, I love music far more, As I have gotten much busier, I am finding myself no longer “addicted” to exercise as much as I used to be. I still love the endorphins, however, of an hour on the treadmill…

I begin each early morning when I am at home on my “Power Plate Move,” the top vibration plate, great for bones, balance, Pilates, stretches and burning fat. Depending on my time, I then do my treadmill. My life is extremely busy now with music, so my main focus is, as always, to eat right.…

This photo was taken on Christmas after a three day water fast. When I finally ate on Christmas Day, I wanted nothing sweet, as even the protein shakes I had anticipated wanting when I broke the fast seemed too sweet. Not only that, I really had no hunger, as I stayed busy. I realized that…

I got my first EKG, not because anything was wrong but only as a proactive measure in a general exam. I had a low resting heart rate like that of an athlete! I continue to speed walk miles every morning, either at sunrise on the beach or on the treadmill when it rains or when…

Moving is generally stressful, but I have moved to Florida feeling more at peace than ever. As a matter of fact, I thank God every day that I get to live in a place I love, and I truly love Sarasota. It is beautiful, artistic, and healthy with a vibe in the air towards staying…

I have always wanted to walk a marathon. I love walking but have always been a walker and not a runner. The most I had ever walked was 14 miles in one day until I started preparing to walk a marathon last month. Here I am celebrating after having walked my first marathon, 26.3 miles.…

Covid is on the rise again with the new Delta variant and spreading throughout both FL and TN. There is much panic here in Nashville about it, so, for this reason, I have left the gym again, social distancing, and being as cautious as possible to stay healthy. I have friends who have caught this…

As a snowbird in Sarasota, FL, I got into the habit of waking up early and walking the length of Siesta Key Beach and back at sunrise, almost seven miles each morning by 8:00 A.M.. Then, for the first time since the pandemic, I enjoyed working out in a gym going to mat Pilates to…
