Day #4

I really think I need a 11-7p.m. or 12-8p.m. job.  I enjoy eating breakfast/brunch between 10 and 11a.m..  I don't know about you, but I LOVE leftovers. Even when I lived alone, I cooked enough for 4-5 people and ate leftovers in various combinations!

So goes today's brunch.  Leftover garlic/cheese sausage and peppers from last night's dinner plus 2 of the hardboiled eggs I made last night.  Don't the yolks of these eggs look like sunshine? I added a side salad of organic greens with cottage cheese, pineapple and black olives.  It's good to have a small amount of organic greens at each meal.  When I was getting certified as a Personal Trainer I remember learning to suggest to clients that they eat a handful of organic greens 3-5 times a day for 2 weeks before they started an exercise program.  When exercising after a sedentary period in your life you will release stored toxins, especially in the joint areas and can get flu like symptoms. I had a few clients who had to stop exercising for a short period because of all the toxins that were released. Eating the organic greens will release chlorophyl and you can decrease the amount of ill effects of the toxins. Fresh pineapple is also a natural anti-inflammatory.  After working out it is good to have some fresh pineapple and some clean protein such as tuna. I love Chobani yogurt and I chose the raspberry flavor plus a small glass of 100% organic grape juice.  That should hold me until a let afternoon snack!


Had a shrimp cocktail for lunch and a mid afternoon 7.5 oz. Pepsi! :-)

Went to Heart Rhythmz Studio and Anahata Gallery to plan our next show.  September 13 will be the Opening Reception for Hearts & Hands from 5-8.  Mark your calendar now!  Did a nice little glute and quad workout on the TransFIRMER (formerly the Fanny Lifter) and feel really good. Did a little upper body work using the resistance tubing, too. Easing back into it.

Cooked some Beef Filets on the grill seasoned with Caribbean Seasoning, topped with cocktail shrimp that I threw on the grill for a few minutes to heat up. I made a nice salad and had an ear of corn to round out the meal.  Sliced up the leftover steak for the next few days.  I feel some seafood coming on for the weekend. Hmmm I still have that Beach Plum Gift Card from my birthday!

Day #12 Part 1, Fri. 7/13

Friday the 13th was an AWESOME day! Started the early day off with a Chobani raspberry yogurt before taking the 7:04 Amtrak Downeaster to Boston for my PhotoWalks Tour of the Boston waterfront. Packed some water because it was going to be a hot one! Got into North Station around 8:20 and my tour wasn't until 10.  I just HAD to have a few last photos taken with Ray Allen in the TD Garden before they take him down! I had plenty of time to get to the Old State House Museum to meet for the tour so I walked over to Quincy Market and then up to State & Washington Streets. There was a sweet man sitting on the bench with his dog playing some sort of French percussion instrument. He had a little dog on the bench next to him .  I asked if I could take some photos of him and he gladly obliged.  I told him about the upcoming Hearts & Hands Show and he asked if the doggie's paw counted! :-)  I took several photos and then Saba, the tour leader arrived. There war only 4 p

Birthday Blog

On April 19, 2022 a t 2:35 pm, the exact time of my birth 68 years later, I was at my very favorite place, Pemaquid Lighthouse! It worked out perfectly; I had planned on photographing sunrise, but it was raining so I went later in the day.  THIS is 68! I left on my solo secret birthday road trip on Monday April 18th. I made a pit stop at the Yarmouth Information Center to pick up some brochures. A guy in the parking lot saw my CELTS-6 license plate and Celtics hat and started talking about how great Sunday’s game was! :-) Once a year, I always like to go somewhere I haven’t been before. I took a side trip to Land’s End on Bailey Island. Just sorry I never made it there before my friend, Dan Millar, passed away. I want to go back for photos of The Giant Stairs, Lookout Point, Cribstone Bridge and the little lobster shack in Mackerel Cove when it’s a little warmer.  When I lived in Maine I would go to Tortola in April. Now I go from NH to Maine!  LoL     I arrived at Sheepscot Harbour Vi

Day #8, Mon. 7/9

Well I am bound to have one of this days! My friend Eric, who owns and runs 'Evolution 180' in L.A., is a lean, mean (and I mean that in the nicest way) machine. I have to say that he is THE BEST personal trainer I have ever met!  He practices what he preaches. He eats clean for 5 days, fasts for a day and then eats whatever he wants for a day.  So I would have to say that Day #8 was my "eat what I want kind of day." But getting back to Eric. . . Back in February 2011 he came to Boston for the Celtics-Lakers game.  Eric had never been to the Right Coast and it just happened that we were having one of our coldest, snowiest winters EVAH!  He arrived on the red eye and came up to NH to catch a few hours of sleep before I dragged him around Boston. The snow piles in our yard were over his head and his comment was, "Do people live here voluntarily?" I gave him the full Boston experience. We drove to Sullivan Square and took The T into Boston. We went
