This week was somewhat boring in terms of working out. I didn’t do any new workouts, and to be honest, I had to force myself to do the workouts that I completed. Saturday, April 24 – off day. I felt really lazy and listless all day. Sunday, April 25 – I spent over 3 hours [...]

On Tuesday Adrianne commented on my post and mentioned a book by Geneen Roth called Women, Food, and God: An Unexpected Path to Almost Everything.

The post really resonated with so many of you, and the comments were truly insightful. For anyone who’s been struggling in any [...]

I must admit, today I’m not feeling it. At all. I’m not sure exactly what put me in this funk. Sure, I could blame it on PMS, but really, that’s not the problem. The problem is something that Scale Warfare alluded to in one of her recent comments. It’s the fact that once I [...]

Saturday, April 17 – Today I was up and at ‘em early, but then the day seemed to get away from me rather quickly. Still, I managed to get in quite a bit of activity, which was my goal, considering that when I got on the WiiFit+ it said I was up 2 pounds. Yesterday’s [...]

When we heal the earth, we heal ourselves.” ~~ David Orr Today is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, and I thought I’d “celebrate” by talking about my thoughts on trying to living a greener life. Being green has become popular, especially where I live – everyone seems to try to outdo each other with how much [...]

This week I wasn’t sure exactly what was going to show up on the scale, especially after having a really good week last week. I worked hard, tracked almost every day, and spent quite a bit of time working out (I earned 28 APs since last Wed). The “unknown” factor was how my body was [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! AprilshowersbringMayflowers.AprilshowersbringMayflowers.AprilshowersbringMayflowers. Or, at least that’s what I am repeating to myself today to keep me from missing the sun too much. So far, it’s not working that well. This week marks the downhill slope that educators and students alike look forward to throughout the school year. Only 9 more weeks (including this [...]
