Music Monday

-

   So I’ve been getting lazy lately, not paying close  attention to my diet and I stopped exercising.  I need to turn that around. 

I felt the need to increase my vegetables.  So I tried some of the leftover meat sauce over riced cauliflower.  Yummy, almost as good as Zoodles.  I’m going to have to experiment with riced veggies. I’m told that you can mix riced veggies with actual rice … may have to try that.  Maybe fried rice? With gluten free soy sauce, of course.  

I bought turkey cutlets, now I need a good recipe … something lower in calories and gluten free …

It’s been too cold to walk, and besides, several of my neighbors are apparently allergic to shoveling snow off their sidewalks  … but the weather has warmed up again, the snow is gone, so I’m going for a walk …

And I’m also using some interesting workout videos I found on YouTube.  I’m feeling a bit stiff, but if I start stretching again …

Hmmm … I think I’ve come up with this week’s music theme!


We start with a great fitness video.



Now let’s find a few activities.  Roller skating,


Bicycling.

  


Running.



Jumping,


Walking,

  


Get on your feet…


Yeah, that feels so good … keep moving ….




Yeah … (thank you, Cathy, for that last one …)

    Moving, dance, etc. is such a great theme I might just steal it for a future post of mine. You might be interested in a blog post I did in 2014 on the Chicken Fat song, which was written by Meredith Wilson for President Kennedy's drive to increase physical fitness in Americans. (Yes, I'm old enough to remember President Kennedy's U.S. Physical Fitness program in my elementary school.) Good luck with your walks!

    Fun theme. I do long fast walks (11kms) or 7kms in an hour regularly and a dance class tho this weekend and next weekend I've been/am going away, so trying to squeeze in something during the week. Good themes! (And Cathy, I couldn't find the comment on your post, if you see this. Sorry) #MondayMusicmovesme

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
