I went and sought out my old nemesis, the stadium stairs, today. I needed the hard workout, and I needed to blow off some steam. I wrote a blog pitch for The Huffington Post last night, I am attempting to work out the glitches with this new health insurance plan my former employer switched his … Continue reading Day Twenty-four and a New Acquaintance…

Days Seven through Fourteen, inclusive…
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…
Friday Philosophy, at last…
What a week! I pulled ten and eleven hour work shifts, transitioned into super-mom gear, somehow managed to eat and sleep in the middle of it all. Whew! I am a tired woman. 🙂 Happy, but tired. So, our Friday Philosophy arrives on a Sunday this week, as the days have all blurred together. This … Continue reading Friday Philosophy, at last…
Day Six, and Deep Thoughts…
Day Six was my second day of rest. Sort of. I mean, we played basketball at the park, I planted an aloe plant (our first), and I had to carry the twenty pound furball known as our younger dog through the clinic line for her shots today. Twenty pounds starts to feel a lot more … Continue reading Day Six, and Deep Thoughts…
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…
Friday Philosophy…
Today's quotable quotes and philosophies come to you courtesy of Nicholas Sparks. Although I often find the reading of his books to be excruciatingly painful, sometimes I truly feel he is worth the excessive amounts of Kleenex I need. 🙂 I also find that he can offer appropriate words of wisdom for different times in … Continue reading Friday Philosophy…
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…
