Day Six was my last physical fitness update. I will have to be brief here, as I am truly ready for sleep. It's only 9:00 p.m. I know, I have a thrilling nightlife. Instead of traditional workouts, days 7 through 14 consisted of extremely long work days. I walked an average of nearly 20,000 steps … Continue reading Days Seven through Fourteen, inclusive…

Day Five…
Today was Day 5 of my renewed commitment to physical fitness. I like to mix it up, so I popped into my parents' exercise room for a session with the recumbent bike. As a general rule, I prefer regular bicycles: beach cruisers, specifically. Bicycles that remain in one spot frustrate me. When I run on … Continue reading Day Five…
Day Four…
Yes, yesterday was Day 4. As you can all tell from the absolute silence of this blogger yesterday, it was rest day. I usually try to work two days of rest into each week. Yesterday was the chosen first day. The only athletic pursuit we engaged in at all was playing about twenty minutes of … Continue reading Day Four…
Day Three…
As promised, my daily progress report. 🙂 Strangely, I awakened at 4:00 a.m. today, so I had the time to complete my workout before taking my little ones to school. Of course, this morning was Hatha Yoga. It took the forty minutes of various poses to work out the kinks in my body from the … Continue reading Day Three…
Day Two…
So, now that I have brought you up to speed on yesterday, we move into this morning. I had some screaming muscles when I awakened: biceps, pecs, lats. Ouch. After I dropped the kids off at school, I walked from my house to the stadium across the street and reacquainted myself with my old nemesis: … Continue reading Day Two…
Tuesday Thoughts…
My thoughts are rather jumbled. It seems that so much has happened in such a short time span, that I am just processing things on the fly. Therefore, the thoughts end up being rather diverse. 🙂 "Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records." ~ William Arthur Ward "We may encounter many defeats … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts…
Tuesday Thoughts…
I was reading a friend's blog last night, and she was talking about how the discipline of writing one blog post per day has really helped her productivity in other areas. You can read her blog here: http://www.funnystrange.net. It got me to thinking that I really do need to commit to a blog post each … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts…
Friday Philosophy… Ha!
It's time for a Friday hodgepodge of quotes... 🙂 Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. ~ Khalil Gibran Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. ~ Og Mandino Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going … Continue reading Friday Philosophy… Ha!
My New Normal…
I was writing to a friend this week, and we were discussing the changes required for good health. She felt that the adjustment she had to make (starting a gluten free diet) was far easier than the changes I had to go through. I disagreed. On the surface, my eating habits have not had to … Continue reading My New Normal…
Friday Philosophy on Tuesday (c’mon Friday!)…
Quiet days here, sort of. Busy busy busy, but peaceful and quiet. I have worked on learning to meditate, writing (not on here, I know, but writing a lot), and my workload for my business. Things are looking up, and getting busier, and we are in a state of flux. In a good way, of … Continue reading Friday Philosophy on Tuesday (c’mon Friday!)…
