Fit and Strong, Recipes

I love fresh vegetables from garden, especially zucchini from the garden! It's fun to watch them grow and I don't think you can eat much more local than that. This year three little zucchini plants have really done well and I anticipate I'll be making zucchini quite a bit later this summer. I've asked some friends in the Becoming Elli group to share their recipes me with because it's easy to get too repetitious with a recipe. If you've ever grown zucchini, you probably know that it all ripens at once! Although some of the ends of my baby zucchini have been nibbled by a deer, I don't think they liked it because it wasn't gone.  The deer have really feasted on the cucumbers, but I'm hoping the...

Fit and Strong, Food and Drink

I found some hydration guidelines at my gym and I thought I’d share some of the information. How Much Water Should I Drink? You’ll see a wide variety of numbers for water requirements for healthy adults.  When I searched for hydration guidelines for adults and found a range of recommendations. I saw that we should drink eight 8-ounce (just shy of two liters) glasses of water per day. I saw higher and lower numbers too. You can find calculators online that will take your weight and tell you how much water you need to consume. I found one that seemed to be hosted by some diet blogger. It said I should drink 119 ounces of water per day, which is the same as 14.9 Cups or 3.53 Liters). That seems...

A walk in the park

It was a Beautiful Day for a Walk in the Park

Fit and Strong, Hiking

Jill and I took a walk in a nearby park yesterday morning. It was great opportunity to be able to spend some time together, catch up on things and discuss ideas for future topics and podcast guests for our Fit Strong Women Over 50 podcast. The weather was cooler than it had been lately, only around 78 degrees compared to over 90 degrees several times this past week. A nice breeze was blowing and the sun was shining! Penny and Peanut, our dogs, also enjoyed getting out and smelling the fresh air. A few weeks ago a wild windstorm came through and pushed down quite a few trees along the path in the park. We both were surprised how much damage there was and also how quickly...
