Turning 59

I’m turning 59 on Monday. In decades past, yes I said decades, the “9” last year of the previous decade got into my head more than the “0” first year of the next. I would find myself a few days away from the last year my 20s, 30s, 40s, feeling a bit off. I wouldContinue reading “Turning 59”

Game on…

So, my day started yesterday with a picture memory of me at my most fit…let’s just say it ignited something in me …so I thought. Monday Night Football…my Jets were playing. It’s crazy hot and humid…I stood looking at a closet filled with Jets apparel and most of my hot weather options would have hadContinue reading “Game on…”

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.

54 days until summer – Do my results match my efforts?

The scale was a rollercoaster this week.. which basically matched my emotions. Control what you can, that is what they tell us… simple right? I have definitely let outside forces impact my choices and my focus. I landed about a half pound heavier than last week, but truth be told, that is a gift. TheContinue reading “54 days until summer – Do my results match my efforts?”

61 Days to summer challenge.. angles

I saw an interview with Harry Styles where he said a friend had given him the best advice..it was something like this: always remember nothing anyone says about you is real.. if they say you are the best, it isn’t true, if they say you are the worst, it isn’t true. So since I lastContinue reading “61 Days to summer challenge.. angles”
