Finding Radiance

This week is my quarterly rest week from lifting.  It’s hard for me to not do it, but it is such a good thing for my body.  You always make your gains outside of your exercise, not while doing it. So, you would think I would sleep in, right? Nope.  I woke up early as [...]

Thank you to everyone for participating in the challenge this month! It’s always fun to have partners to stay motivated.  I had 43 comments to pull from and Debby’s comment was chosen: September 8th, 2009 at 12:01 pm · Dang, Lori! You had that great frozen yogurt, AND you lost .8 pounds! Maybe if I [...]

Okay everyone!  How did you do on your personal challenges this month? I did not hit mine to lose 4 pounds.  I lost 3 for the month.  I actually did hit 4 and a little more gone over the weekend, but Monday’s Indian food and resultant bloat caused a pop up on the scale.  C’est [...]

He fellow personal challengers! Hope the month is going well for you. We are now in the home stretch! The scale is continuing to creep downward for me, another pound so that is about 2.8 for the month so far! I am pretty excited about that Don’t forget to check in – anyone who wants [...]

Who wants that roasted coffee?? Check in this week and let us know how you are doing with your personal challenge for September!  We are halfway there as of today I am doing pretty well.  Down 1 pound, so that is 1.8 for the month of September.  Almost 1/2 way to my goal of 4 [...]

Can you believe a week of September is gone already?  I do not know how time can be so fleeting. How are you doing with your personal challenge for the month?   I’ve decided to give a little motivation for the challenge.  As most of you know, I roast coffee beans.  I will draw a random [...]

Gorgeous Sunday here, absolutely gorgeous!  And I have to work LOL!  Although it has been really slow, so I am getting stuff done around the house.  Went to Panera Bread for our ritual bagel:  Asiago cheese here: Then grocery shopping.  Lots and lots of good stuff, including some new Chobani  greek yogurt flavors:  Pomegranate and [...]

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 [...]

Here is a picture of my run this morning on the GoWear fit: Note how the rest of my workday is quiet. I did very well on the challenge today!  Yay!  Lots of calories burned and stayed within calories (even with the bagel).  1 more day of challenge to go! Pin it

Daily challenge up date.   Not real great on the eating.  Big time PMS cravings (sorry TMI!).  I need to really concentrate tomorrow and Thursday to end my challenge strong! Talk to you all tomorrow! Pin it
