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”

Mannequin…Marionette…Man…

You showed up in full force again yesterday. There was music playing and then it was gone. Instead, I found my mind wandering back to that day. I don’t live in that state. I shouldn’t have even be there. I’ve never been on that highway before and likely never will again. We were driving alongContinue reading “Mannequin…Marionette…Man…”

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…”

The pants didn’t fit…

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…”

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?”

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?”

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?”

70 days until summer…I am but human

So I was on a roll, in a rhythm, exercise – check, sleeping well – check, good food choices 80/20 – check; scale was down 3lbs and holding and then wham… life… and I face planted, literally and figuratively. Got an email my 7am #cko class was canceled and instead of going to another locationContinue reading “70 days until summer…I am but human”

100, make that, 78 days 2 summer… where I’m currently residing..

I know spring officially started a few weeks ago, but I am finally feeling it.. or at least my face is feeling it.. Sinus headache, allergies, migraine, not 100% sure but last night as I was playing with my grandson, I bent over to pick up the nerf basketball as he was squealing again, againContinue reading “100, make that, 78 days 2 summer… where I’m currently residing..”
