Finding Radiance

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!  I had a great one Can I share my super uber deal that I got?  Over the past 5 years since we got this house, we have been saving up and doing improvements on it.  One thing has always bothered me (doesn’t bother John) and that was not [...]

Thank you all so, so much for the comments on my anniversary! Even though I have not reached my mind’s goal, I never stop trying. Happy Solstice, too!  The longest day of the year.  Funny how it comes just as summer begins, isn’t it? I was ready to hit some iron today.  I have to [...]

Fabulous Friday!  I am still working on the IE/ME post.  I was hoping to get that done today, but it is taking me a while to write. I did not go to the gym this morning because I don’t want to do a strength workout the day before the big bike ride on Saturday.  We [...]

I have a link to this in the recipe section, but thought I would give a step by step on making the sauce you see so often on here. You can use any blueberries you want, but I happen to prefer Wyman’s because they are sweeter than other blueberries and they are the tiny wild [...]

I was a busy bee last night scrubbing the bathroom floor and doing some weeding and driveway cleanup.  My back actually was hurting, so I took a Tylenol PM in the hopes that I would sleep later (plus help my back).  We woke up about 8:30 -  which is really, really late for me!  Cooler [...]

First day of my weekend.  Started off with a good strength workout.  This doesn’t look like much on paper, but it takes a while to get through at the gym. Dumbbell cuban snatch: 2 x 6 15 pounds, 1 x 6  20 pounds Dumbbell single-leg deadlift: 3 x 6 at 25 # Barbell bent-over row: [...]

Nice workout time this morning, even though I was up too early because I couldn’t sleep!  Mostly cardio bunnies at the gym today and I was all by myself in the free weight area for almost all of my workout (yay!).  Then someone came in and got on the Smith machine, but I don’t care [...]

Well, today was one of those food days that happen from time to time.  The noshes got some control.  I woke up feeling pretty good after the long bike ride.  Legs a little tired, but not overly so.  Although, I think an early bedtime is on tap for tonight, as I am feeling more tired [...]

Watching a bit of the Tour de France on TV.  Those athletes are freaking amazing!  Did you know that the average age of a tour rider is 40???  I am not sure I heard that right.  The average age of the winners is about 30. The riders were just entering the feed zone ( a [...]

Felt like a busy day today.  Went to the Y and did a bit of biking and walking, then the extra bonus NROLW workout – goal to do as many reps as possible at starting weight. Dead lifts – 25 # bar  32 reps (I could have kept going, but got bored LOL) Pushups at [...]
