Weighing me down…

So summer is winding down and I’m sitting here looking in the rear view mirror. It seems like just yesterday that I was all gung ho and starting my 100 days to summer challenge. Increased strength, consistency, stamina, speed and agility were my main goals. Weight loss wasn’t a priority, but I really thought thereContinue reading “Weighing me down…”

I’m sorry, but…

Some of my least favorite words strung together are “I’m sorry but.” The use of those words tell me what poster is about to say is self serving and mean, and they really are not sorry that they are on the attack.I see those words and finish the sentence in my head… I am insecureContinue reading “I’m sorry, but…”

The pants didn’t fit…

Last weekend I turned 58 and for my birthday, hubby and I went to Vegas and Utah to celebrate. I have dubbed this the #mountainsandmusicbirthdaytrip The two main focal points of this trip were a Garth Brooks concert Saturday night and a 5.6 mile hike – Angels’ Landing at Zion National Park, the rest wasContinue reading “The pants didn’t fit…”

Fitting in….to my new hiking capris

Saturday is normally a no-brainer. Unless I am away or have something preventing it, I either go kickboxing or hiking. But this past Saturday morning I woke up, rolled over, looked at the clock and decided Andrea at 930am instead of Tully 8am, but as time grew closer I realized neither. I hopped on theContinue reading “Fitting in….to my new hiking capris”

Summer challenge – success – yay or nay?

The summer solstice was yesterday, the only way to verify in the Northeast that it truly is summer because the weather is more fall like.. but I digress. My 100 days to summer challenge is officially over.. During those 100 days I lived my life as follows, give or take a few events: 40 +Continue reading “Summer challenge – success – yay or nay?”

Then I painted my finger nails

Healthy is hard. Eating well takes work and planning. Exercise takes effort. Self-care takes prioritizing yourself. Sometimes I just don’t feel like putting in the work. Plopping on the couch is easy, grabbing some premade whatever to eat is easy. Saying tomorrow is easy… I was in a little bit of a healthy slump. IContinue reading “Then I painted my finger nails”

How did I get here?

I went for a hike Saturday morning with a few of my hiking friends who will be doing the Mammoth March in upstate NY this summer with me. We chose an easy trail for speed at a local preserve and combined trails to form our own route. Along the trail on 3 separate occasions inContinue reading “How did I get here?”

Summer starts…..Now!

As I sat at the airport yesterday, these words flowed from me and I shared them in my different FB groups that all originated from Weight Watchers in one shape or form… 86400 seconds…one day…fleeting moments…what do we latch onto? Vacation is over..we’re at the airport waiting to board our plane. I’m choosing to leaveContinue reading “Summer starts…..Now!”

2 days until unofficial summer…eek

Well.. the scale sucks.. not really, it’s actually accurate. I’ve been riding a roller coaster since the whole 100 days to summer challenge began. Today I’m down net 1 lb from where I began.. but considering last week I was up 3 lbs .. I’ll take it. My food choices have been suspect. I haveContinue reading “2 days until unofficial summer…eek”

100 days to summer….meh… who cares

Good morning…full disclosure until I searched google this morning I had no idea this poem which I learned in grade school was born from such a renowned author… HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW There was a little girl, Who had a little curl, Right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, She was veryContinue reading “100 days to summer….meh… who cares”
