Jane Fonda Taught Me Everything I Know About Working Out And Cool Workout Wear

Jane Fonda still rocks her iconic ’80s leotard

Yesterday I was watching Hoda and Kathi Lee at the gym and they were interviewing Jane Fonda.  She was promoting her new exercise videos while wearing the same leotard and leg warmers she wore from her 80's exercise book and videos.  I have to admit that during my high school and college years in the 80's, Jane Fonda's book was my fitness bible.  Now I have the Triathlon Training Bible, but back then it was Jane Fonda's WorkOut Book.  Everything I know about exercise and fitness started with her during those days with her book and video.  She was my fitness queen.  I read the book from cover to cover and then used it for a reference for at least 10 years.  I still have it (of course)!  Jane Fonda is in her 70's and still looks awesome.  She's still my inspiration!  I'm sure she knows how many lives she changed for the better with those workout books and videos.  Even Ken (aka The Murph) had a copy of her video back in the 80"s.  I bet he wasn't doing the workout though.  He was probably just ogling Jane doing the workout.  That's right! (I'm probably going to get in trouble for saying that cause he's not going to like it! haha)

During college, my room mate and I would do the Jane Fonda exercise video every evening in our dorm.  We just called it "Jane Fonda", not exercise video or aerobics, or anything obvious like that.  Just simply- "Are you ready to do Jane Fonda?" "Yes, let's do Jane Fonda."  We all knew what it meant.  I even did the Jane Fonda exercise video for Pregnancy and Recovery when I was pregnant with the Boy in the early 90"s.  By then the video was almost 10 years old.

I would come home from college and stay with my grandmother during breaks and every night while she watched her TV shows, I would do Jane Fonda workouts in the middle of the floor.  I knew it by heart so I could do the entire workout without the video.  My grandmother would just look at me, shake her head, roll her eyes and pop some candy in her mouth.  I was some sort of strange fitness freak to her back in the 80's.

I would have to say that Jane started it all.  From her advanced workout video,  I went on to more hard core stuff like the Ironman triathlons, marathons, sprint triathlons and worse - YOGA!   I even had the 80's leg warmers until last month when I cleaned out what was left in my house to sell it.  I reluctantly gave my leg warmers and leotards and almost all my leftovers from the 80's and 90's to charity.  Darn, I knew I should've held on to them a little longer!  You never know when you might need a good pair of 1980's style leg warmers.

Another Marathon

The 8 mile run yesterday motivated me to sign up for yet another marathon.  Yes, it sounded good last night, but will it still sound good when I am faced with those 17 to 20+ mile long runs in the freezing cold.  (freezing cold = anything under 50 degrees F for this southern girl.)  I guess that 8 mile "long" run is a good enough start.  The Running Nazi signed up the the marathon too.  It is in March so we have all of January and February to train for it.  Should be easy since I just did a marathon in November, right??

Today Ken (aka the Murph) and I went to our new, clean gym to workout.  I even felt more motivated there.  I did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and felt really good and managed to stay focused.  Last week I could barely stay on a machine longer than 5 minutes and had to force myself to get in 30 minutes of cardio.   I try to keep 30 minutes as my absolute minimum, but last week, one day I only got in 20 minutes and 15 another.  I had to move from machine to machine to stay motivated.  I did 15 minutes on elliptical, 5 minutes treadmill and 10  exercise bike once just to get the 30 minutes of cardio.  After cardio, I did weights and core and stretched.  An hour of training is all I have been doing the past month, but I do it every single day so it adds up I guess.  I still need to do one long run day a week in which the Running Nazi and I run 2 to 3 hours.  At some point I am going to have to start swimming and biking again.  No Ironman Triathlons are in my immediate future, but I will still do some sprint triathlons and would love to get fast again.   Being a" has been" is no fun!

I have no more excuses.  I got the new shoes.

Tried Out My New Brooks Running Shoes Today

Brooks Glycerin 9, my new running shoes

I ran with the Running Nazi this morning.  We only ran 8 miles instead of 13 miles (our usual long run) because I haven't been feeling well.  I either had an allergic reaction to something (probably that sage I put in the dressing that my mom told me not too) or I am fighting a cold.  Of course, the Running Nazi showed up for the run sicker than I was.  While I was just "fighting" something, she was full blown sick.  Sore throat, bad cough, congestion, eyes burning, but like I've said before, that doesn't stop her at all.  She would've run 13 miles today if I wasn't such a wimp.

 I wore my new running shoes for the first time.  Ken (aka The Murph) gave them to me for Christmas.  I have been looking for a replacement for the fuchsia Brooks Burn running shoes I have been wearing for years.  They stopped making them a few years ago and I had several pairs stockpiled in the back of my closet just in case. " Prepared" for the day they stopped making them.  Well, they did stop making them and I went through my last pair training for Memphis marathon a couple of years ago.  Since then I have tried a couple of different brands including a pair of Mizuno's that I really liked, but felt they didn't last long enough and they were sort of a weird, icky color, not pink.   Brooks has several different styles, but none that seemed like the Burn.

Brooks Burn - my all time favorite running shoe...  (sigh)

I first bought the Brooks Burn running shoes at a race expo.  I fell in love with them immediately because they were pink, of course.  I didn't care how they would feel on my feet.  They could've rubbed blisters and made my toes turn black for all I cared.  They were PINK!  Fortunate for me, they didn't rub blisters or turn my toes black.  In fact, they turned out to be the BEST running shoe I have ever worn in my entire life.  They were light weight!  They were fast!  They held up to all the abuse I put them through!  Most of all, they were PINK!  Fuchsia to be exact. (although Brooks calls them "red"... whatever!)   The perfect color for a running shoe.  I will never find an exact replacement for these running shoes, but my new Brooks Glycerin 9 running shoes are fairly close.  I don't really like all the white on them with only a little pink trim.  It would be much better if the colors were reversed with the pink replacing the white and the white replacing the pink.  They aren't as light weight as the Burns or the Mizunos and they are a little clunky.  For now though, these will do, but I am still in search of the perfect Brooks Burn replacement.

Brooks what were you thinking when you discontinued this awesome shoe.  Brooks, Pleeeeasaaaase!!  I need my Brooks Burn back.   And please don't make them that funky light blue color like the Burn 3 or that turquoise color like you did with the Brooks Pure Cadence.  Fuchsia only please!  I need to design running shoes.  They would all be shades of pink.

I disturbed a sleeping Phantom when I started taking pics of my shoes in the closet so he gave me the stink eye and left.  My last pairs of running shoes are in the back.  The turquoise/greenish ones are the Mizunos -not a bad pair, just not pink....

Christmas With The Family and Phantom "Out of His Frame"

Christmas was fun and now I can recover.   I enjoyed spending time with the family and the food turned out pretty good especially for a beginner.   I am slowly coming out of my sugar induced coma from all the pies and cookies I've been eating.  I feel like I have gained 10 pounds, but I don't know for sure because I am avoiding the scales until I get in a long run.  My mom, brother, sister in law, nephew and niece came over and the Murph and the Boy were here, as well as all the Jazz cats.

The Jazz cats immediately ran and hid in their favorite hiding spots as soon as everybody got here.  Cadence downstairs in the boys closet, Ed and Boo upstairs under the couch in their "room".   Phantom has been hanging out and sleeping in my closet.  That's where my brother found him.  My brother wouldn't bring his little dog, a Chihuahua that resembles a squirrel, over here because I am sure he is afraid Phantom will eat her.  I found my brother and his entire family standing at my closet door looking down at my very large black and white, naughty cat.  They couldn't believe how big Phantom is.  My sister in law asked me if that was his regular size or if he was fat.  I said he's just really big boned and very muscular and sturdy.  My brother pipes in that Phantom might be big and muscular, but he's way fat too and definitely "out of his frame".   He also says I 'm killing Phantom by feeding him too much.   Poor Phantom!  He's been on diets before, but never lost any weight.  He needs to be put on a treadmill for an hour everyday.  That's his only hope.  Personally, I still don't think he's that fat.  He's just big and maybe just a little, teeny, tiny bit "out of his frame".

The Boy even behaved and hung out with everybody instead of hiding behind his computer monitor.  It looks like command central down in his "apartment".  His dad gave him a server for Christmas/Hanukkah and I gave him a security appliance for Christmas (whatever that is) and he's been busy streaming media and setting up firewalls and god knows what else down in his area.  He has about 3 or 4 computers ( or pieces of)  and old refurbished laptops he has doing different things down there.  He's barely been back two weeks and already I'm having to dodge around dirty clothes piles and wade through trash, empty water bottles and food wrapper just to get to this command central he has set up.  It's all way over my head anyway, and I don't mean just the trash and dirty clothes.

Overall, it has been a very, very good Christmas.  I am so looking forward to the new year.  Hope it will be as blessed as this past year has been.

Last check says Santa just passed over Cape Canaveral Fl. Good thing the Boy is already sleeping so Santa will stop! Ken and I are still awake though. We're on the "nice" list this year...

Baker Barbie

I spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening finishing baking for Christmas.  I made Christmas sugar cookies, rugelach, a wreath shaped carrot cake, gingerbread and cornbread for the dressing I am going to make today.  Ken even took pictures of me baking.  It's not something he sees me doing very often.  Actually, I think it's the first time he's seen me bake anything or even spend very much time in the kitchen at all.  He doesn't believe I always bake this time of the year and was a little concerned about the mess I was making in the kitchen.  Well, I think I'm finished until next year and I cleaned the mess!

Actually, I don't know if anybody will eat any of it.  They do taste better than they look if you can get past the look part.  I'm not really good at frosting and decorating.   It looks like a group of preschoolers got ahold of the wreath cake and slapped some finger paint on it.  I don 't really know how that one tastes.  The gingerbread came from a box so it tastes pretty good.  Not much damage I could do there.  The Boy says the sugar cookies aren't sweet enough.  I think they could use a little more sugar, but overall they aren't bad.  Too much sugar is bad for you anyway.  I don't want the Boy to get cavities.

Today I tackle the cornbread dressing and the casseroles.  This is kind of strange that I am cooking all of this for Christmas when I never cook during the rest of the year.  Lucky for me I can get recipes from the internet.  My mom told me not to put sage in the dressing even though the recipe calls for it.  I just bought a new bottle of sage that I have absolutely no use for except for this dressing.  I told her I'm going to have to use some of it now.  What else will I do with the sage??

Ken is doing the turkey and I bought a honey baked ham from the honey baked ham store.  Those hams are delicious and I can't do any damage there.  No sage on the turkey.  We had rolls leftover from our party that we froze, so we are defrosting those and some leftover tea cakes.  Those came from a local bakery.  No sage on those either.  Mom should be happy.

Love These MK Rain Boots

Today was a rain boot kind of day.  It has been raining here all day long.  Yuck!  I have had these Michael Kors rain boots for almost three years now and love them.   I first saw them on a Sales Associate at Saks Fifth Avenue.  The Saks where I live didn't carry them so I started looking online.  It was right before Christmas and most places were sold out.  I found only one pair and it wasn't my size.  I thought I had waited too late and would never find a pair in my size.  I looked at other rain boots, but these were the ones I found that I really, really wanted.

I didn't give up.  Right after Christmas, I finally found a pair online (I think on Zappos.com) and ordered them.  I have been wearing them whenever it rains ever since.  I get lots of comments on them, some not so complimentary from Ken.  He laughs at me when I'm clomping around in them, but hey, my feet stay stylishly dry!

The other day I went into a local grocery store and was checking out.  I was wearing my black Ugg boots at the time, not the Michael Kors rain boots.  The cashier tells me she found a pair of boots just like mine.

 Confused, I say, "The Uggs???"

"No," she says, "the Michael Kors rainboots.  I saw you wearing them the other day and looked all over for a pair and finally found some and ordered them."

I really never knew she paid that much attention to me or my shoes, but I knew exactly how she felt.  I felt the same way when I saw them on the woman at Saks.  I had to have a pair!

      See Ken, these clunkers are way cool!

The Boy Made It Through First Semester!

I am so proud of the boy.  He actually passed all of his classes this semester with a 2.62 GPA.  The only class he didn't do well in, which brought the GPA down under a 3.0 was the Intro to Music elective he took.  He actually made a B in English Comp!  A B in Calculus!  It's a miracle!  Thank god for Ritalin!  He got through high school drug free, but with lower grades than he probably would have gotten if he had taken the meds.  He was diagnosed with ADD in 4th grade and put on Adderall.  His grades went up immediately.  He went from never reading anything to spending hours in his room reading Tom Clancy novels.  I couldn't believe the difference.  However, he started complaining about stomach problems so we had to change the meds several times before we ended up with Concerta and now Ritalin.

The Boy - thinner and more educated ...

When he started college he decided to start taking a very low dose of Ritalin whenever he needed it for classes or studying for tests.  So far, he hasn't had any stomach problems or headaches except for the last days of finals when he didn't sleep for 48 hours, staying up to study and write final papers.  For now he is off the Ritalin until school starts back in the spring.  He's also lost several pounds instead of gaining the freshman 20.  He points this out to me constantly.  Ken (aka the Murph) and I should have never told him about our 20 pound freshman weight gain.

Personally, I don't think he's getting his money worth on that all you can eat meal ticket at the cafeteria.

Merry Christmas Cat Song

I found this video while searching for Christmas songs on Youtube.  These kitties are so cute I just wanna give them a big squeeze.

I wonder if I can get the Jazz cats to sing Christmas songs like these kittens.  Cadence and Boo probably, but not Phantom and Ed.

Missing My LV

Pictures are all I have left of my Louis Vuitton handbag that was stolen from my car last week.  I would love for the thugs to be caught.  I am now back to the pink Coach handbag I purchased two summers ago in Key West, Florida.  I love the handbag, but it just doesn't seem right carrying it around during the winter.  I gave my other Coach handbag to my sister-in-law when I got the LV bag.   It was the small, beige tote bag.

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue to look at replacing the LV handbag.  Actually, I thought maybe I would get an entirely different style.  Maybe something black or at least the darker brown ones.  I have seen some I like on the LV website, but I didn't really see any at Saks that I liked better than the one I had.  It was the Galliera shoulder bag.  It was huge and I loved it!  I had the wallet to match which was in the handbag when it was stolen.  While I loved the bigger size, I am thinking that smaller might be better.  I won't be able to stuff as much in it which is safer apparently!  I should probably just head to TJ Maxx and get one of those handbags.  That's where I use to buy all my handbags.  They were good for about 6 months before they fell apart and then it was easy to replace them.  And cheaper...

I have this song on my Ipod workout songs playlist. The Boy rolls his eyes.

Love These Guiseppe Zanotti Shoes!

Last March I saw these Guiseppe Zanotti shoes at Saks Fifth Avenue in Atlanta and just had to have them.  The Murph was in a really good mood that day so even though we were looking for shoes to wear for the wedding, he bought me the Zanotti shoes too.  It was actually a very good day for me because I ended up with a really cute pair of Christian Louboutin heels, a pair of champagne Jimmy Choo heels and this pair of Guiseppe Zanotti heels.


I decided I wanted to wear them to a Christmas party Friday, but they are such a different color that I didn't really have anything to wear with them.  They are sort of a rose gold color with stones that look sort of silvery grey and a hint of lavender and pink.  I took one of the shoes with me and met the Running Nazi to do some shopping.  I found this sparkly pink dress at BeBe's that look awesome with the shoes.  Pink and sparkly!  So me!  Gold or champagne would probably have matched the shoes better, but I don't like gold that much and champagne can be a little washed out looking.  I love the pink and it complimented the shoes really well.   I also bought another pink non-sparkly dress that looks good with the shoes and a scarf print halter top from Cache that I can wear with skinny jeans and the shoes for a more casual look.  I LOVE these shoes!  My all time favorites.

Jazz Cat's Relaxing On Their Favorite Christmas Comforter

You can always find Cadence in the dark.

I bought this comforter last year at Pottery Barn.  I think it is perfect for Christmas.  I love it!  Obviously, the cats love it too!

Home From College

Almost a semester's worth of laundry.

The Boy arrived home from college last night with a load of laundry.  I think he's washed his clothes maybe twice since he started school last August.  I was actually pleasantly surprised that he actually loaded it all in his car and brought it home.  I could just visualize the piles of clothes thrown all over his dorm getting moldy over the holidays, roaches making cozy little homes among it.

Phantom was really glad to see his boy, but he went territorial on poor Ed and Boo again.  They were sniffing the Boy's laundry and Phantom chased them away.  He's been keeping an eye on them all morning.  I already had to squirt him with water once to leave them alone.  He's been so good lately too! Now poor Ed is back to hiding under the upstairs couch and I think Cadence has been going psycho and chasing Ed and Boo around at night after we have gone to bed.  He got locked downstairs with Phantom last night.  We need a cat shrink in this house.  We need some cat interventions!

The Boy had three finals on Wednesday and called me while I was at the gym after the first two finals.  He was wound up and said he hadn't slept in 48 hours because he had two papers to write and studying to do for these last finals.  He had one more left and then he was done.  I talked to him for an hour while I tried to do cardio.  Then he hung up to have lunch before the last final in a 1 hr Reading class he was taking.  He told me he was heading home after a club meeting he had the next morning.  I was expecting him home around 1p.m. yesterday.  When I didn't hear from him and I could see his computer was still online, I knew he hadn't left.  About 3 p.m. when I hadn't heard from him and he hadn't answered my calls or texts or skype I became worried and left a message for one of his friends who is at the same college.  I was just about to call the police when the Boy calls me.  He had fallen asleep around 8 p.m. the night before and slept until after 3 p.m. the next day!  19 hours!  I never did that when I was in college.  He better have made good grades on his finals.  I don't see how anybody could take finals with no sleep though.  Crazy kid!

New Gym

>

Well, the Murph and I joined a new gym yesterday.  It is smaller, but cleaner than the old one and has surveillance cameras in the parking lot.  I am so glad I don't have to go the the old gym.  I personally never liked it and only went there so I could work out with the Murph.  It was his gym.  Now we have a gym of our own at least temporarily until we move.

I had to cancel everything and get new cards, license, etc but it hasn't been too bad I guess.  I just hope they catch the thugs who are doing this and put their loser butts in jail.  Businesses need to always have cameras both inside and especially outside.  It might not stop the idiots from stealing, but it will certainly help to catch and identify them.

I don't like getting my purse stolen, but a least now the Murph is convinced we need to change gyms.  That's very good!   Goodbye sucky, old, stinky gym!

Treasures Or Just Plain Hoarding..

I was going through several boxes today trying to clean out things and consolidate and realized that maybe The Murph is right.... I'm a hoarder.  A border-line hoarder, not a full blown hoarder, but a hoarder just the same.  My hearts in the right place though.  I found everything from just about every postcard/card/letter ever sent to me while I was in college from my friends and family, including my grandmother who sent me a card every week with money inside to my old college id card.  I had the Playbill to the first Broadway play I ever attended, O Calcutta.  I have every report card I ever got from elementary school through college and an assortment of diaries from the 1970's and 80's with stupid stuff written inside them.  The Murph says I am officially a "nerd".  He also looked at some of my college pictures and noticed some "Madonna" similarities.  Very funny that he should notice.  I was all about Madonna when I was in college in the mid-eighties.  Yes, I was THAT person!

Now I have added all the cards I ever got from the Murph along with all my other "treasures".  I am sure he feels very honored now that his letters and cards are squeezed in a box next to my old diaries....

Not A Good Day

Today has not been a very good day.  While at the gym this morning, somebody busted out my car window and grabbed my purse which I had hidden in the back seat.  I had put it under a jacket and my gym bag so whoever broke in must have seen me get out of the car.  Either that or he just saw the gym bag and decided something must be under it.  The gym bag and my jacket were left in the backseat and our cell phones were in the front undisturbed.  Only thing missing was my purse, wallet and everything else that was in the purse.  This happened in broad daylight, right in the front of the gym in the parking lot.  Crazy!  Hopefully, my insurance will cover most of the items that were taken and a new window for the car.  I will probably not get anything back.  I don't think police take that as top priority.  That's probably why thugs keeping breaking into cars around that area.  They know they will get away with it.  Why the gym doesn't have better security to protect their customers I'll never know.  I 'm not going to be a customer of theirs anymore that's for sure!

First "Annual" Christmas House Party

Last night the Murph and I had our first "annual" Christmas house party.   I think everybody had a good time.  I know that the Murph and I had a great time with our friends that we haven't seen in a while.  What a busy, busy week it was with the final moving, repairing and closing on my house and then preparing the Murph's house for the party.  I am glad we had all the decorations finished Thanksgiving weekend.  The Murph started cleaning Thursday afternoon while I was at closing and then Friday we had our designated food items to pick up.  I think it turned out pretty good.  We had about 20 people with lots of beer and wine and way too much food.  We've been eating leftovers all day today.

The last of our friends left after 2 a.m. so we didn't get to bed till late, then we slept in and stayed home all day.  We didn't even go to the gym to workout.  I'm still in my pj's.  There was an amazing amount of empty wine bottles scattered throughout the kitchen this morning.   We forgot to put any non-alcoholic drinks in the cooler, but nobody asked for anything so I guess everybody was ok with the beer and wine.  Finally got a picture of my best buddies, the Running Nazi and the Babysitter and me all together in one place with make up on and no running clothes or pony tails.  I didn't get any pictures of the food or any in the kitchen or dining room where the majority of our friends were hanging out.  We were too busy having fun and I totally forgot to take pictures until the end of the party.  Oh well, here's all the ones I got, not very many.  I will try to do better at the Murph's annual Super Bowl party.

Good bye House!

Busy day today!  Finally sold my house and had the closing today.  Now I am totally focusing on the holidays and then we wlll get the Murph's house ready to put on the market next year.  I am hoping to be somewhere tropical by the summer.  Yea!

We had to get the Boy's 1996 jaguar towed because it has been sitting in the yard for a year and the battery was totally dead.  Couldn't even open the trunk to get to the battery to charge it.  Now they are saying it needs a new alternator and the total cost of towing plus recharging battery and replacing alternator it $445.  A lot for an automobile the Boy was planning on selling for under $2,000.  It's one thing after another!   At closing, the buyers said they were kind of hoping I would leave the Jag there for them.  Funny!  I don't think the Boy would have liked that too much!  Of course, now we have this alternator issue.

So good not to have to worry about my house anymore.  It needs a family with small children.  It was a great home for me and the Boy.  The new family is young and is just starting their family.  They have a new 3 month old son.  The house is perfect for them,  Yesterday the Murph and I were at the house late waiting on the painters to finish the ceiling that the Murph almost fell through while cleaning the attic the other day and we saw the mother deer is back.  This time last year I had a mother deer and two babies that would come into my backyard at dusk.  I left deer food and water out for them and a salt lick.  Apparently, she or one of her offspring is back this year.  I told the new buyers and they were excited.  Hope they feed them!

I will miss the house for sure, but I am ready to move on to the next adventure.
