45

Last night on Oprah, Dr. Oz reminded me that I need to get in shape. I love that guy! I think he was talking directly to me. Minus the part about "quit smoking" and "no more diet soda;" I think I've got those two areas down. The woman on the show who went through his 90 day plan was 42 or so, but her "true" age was 56 based on her health habits. She never drank water, never exercised, etc. etc. SO....I am ready to follow his advice. No trans fat, bring it on! Pomegranate juice, I can handle the stains. Raw almonds, I will eat you! He recommended YOGA and WEIGHT TRAINING. I really like yoga. Stephanie gave me some good yoga instruction in NM earlier this month. Maybe, just maybe, she would come over everyday and be my personal yoga guru. Dr. Oz also said a 30-year old woman should be able to do 45 bent leg push-ups (that's girl push-ups). Every decade after that, she should be able to do 5 less. Let me tell you I got on the floor right then and there to test my skills. I pushed myself to 15 then collapsed on the floor. I need help! But really, if you are a NORMAL 30+ woman and you can do 45 push-ups comfortably (not counting Stephanie, she's twenty-ish) then you deserve a prize. Please tell me if you can do it, because I need some motivation!
