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”

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”

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..”

Being honest with yourself

I’ve lost my mojo. She says startled in her best Austin Powers voice.. So here’s the thing.. my ability to force myself to do the things is currently on a roller coaster ride.. kickboxing sign me up, hiking get outta my way, walking on the treadmill if I remember to zoom, yoga, oh man, nowContinue reading “Being honest with yourself”

The moment I realized the correlation between NFL week 15 and my lifestyle

I’ve been living a healthy lifestyle for several years now. I have a three tiered process, faith, food and fitness.. Recently my fitness stronghold has come into question due to circumstances out of my control. My workout routine has been upended. This paired with some of my own spiteful, somewhat petulant behavior, and 7 unansweredContinue reading “The moment I realized the correlation between NFL week 15 and my lifestyle”

Just for the sake of doing it

I am not a competitive person. I do not have what one would consider an addictive personality, nor am I reward driven which is why I find it surprising at how many times I have allowed myself to be sucked into “streaks”. I am a lifetime Weight Watchers member.. so if you are familiar withContinue reading “Just for the sake of doing it”

Not much traffic on the high road

Last evening I got an email that I had a new follower on my blog, it made me smile, but I thought it was odd. I haven’t posted anything in 6 weeks, I hadn’t even thought about it for weeks but early yesterday I found myself here staring at a blank page, reading through someContinue reading “Not much traffic on the high road”
