Exercise & "17 Again"

40 minutes today divided between the elliptical & the Health Rider, then did some weight training and squats. I have a women's retreat on the last weekend in June, so I'm shooting to really maintain my exercise and diet with that date as a goal. I just want to be in good physical shape, and if I drop another size all the better. Honestly, muscle wears better on the bod than fat, so it's all good. Brand new bathing suit, here I come!

I took some of my kids to see '17 Again' with Zac Efron. We all liked it. It started slow but picked up after Zac came into the picture.

I have to say that Zac Efron is genuinely, absolutely, good looking. My girls say he is "delicious."

The thing is, even my mom agrees that he is a cutie. He has that cross-over appeal, apparently, that draws the young and the old alike. In this movie, he plays a man in the middle of a divorce, who becomes 17 again (and turns into Zac Efron). As a 17 year old, he gets to know his children in a way that awakens in him a realization that he has been an absent husband and father. He meets his wife as the teenage friend of his son, and slips into comfortable interaction with her that feels normal to him but freaks her out (as an adult woman interacting with a teenage boy). Zac carries off the older woman/young man love interest, at one point dancing with her and picking her up and swinging her around.

There are some funny parts in the movie and even though there are a couple of adult comments/moments, the over-arching theme of the movie is positive, family- and marriage- friendly.
