Finding Radiance

Saturday is long ride day.  I puttered around waiting to eat for a while.  Saturday mornings are so nice and quiet!  When I got around to breakfast, I filled up with some banana custard oats. John decided he didn’t want a really long ride today as he was feeling tired, so I decided to take [...]

I was worried that snow would keep me from the lifting today, but I lucked out as it seemed to have been delayed some, so I was able to get there before the snow really accumulated. Here is me pulling out of my driveway. It’s not quite fully light out, so I don’t know if [...]

Another day, another dollar, right?  My plan was to bike this morning, but then I laid there and thought I would go out later.  So, I just got up and made some brekkie! I have a problem wolfing down my waffles.  I think it is because they are never as hot as my oat dishes, [...]

Wednesday and a busy day for me today!  Started out with a nice lifting routine.  After a warm up walk, I did the following: Chin ups:  2 sets of 2, 1 set of 1 Barbell stiff-legged dead lifts: 1 set of 10 at 45#, 1 set of 8 at 65#, 1 set of 6 at [...]

I am kicking of National Nutrition Month with a giveaway!  You all know how much I love Attune bars and talk about them a *lot* like a lovelorn teenager.  Well, the nice folks at Attune noticed my bloggy love and sent me some bars and the opportunity for one of my readers to win some!  [...]

The cruise was very nice and we would probably do another one at some point.  We did one 10 years ago, so I guess in another 10?   One of the things that was very different on this cruise versus 10 years ago was the fitness system available on the ship.  I did post some [...]

Woke up to a sunny morning, and I thought a nice outdoor run was in store, but would do it after breakfast.  Had a comforting bowl of banana oats topped with PB2 and apple butter!  This was delicious! Then I checked the temperature.  26 degrees.     I really had to talk myself into going out [...]

Got our first snowfall today. About an inch of heavy white stuff. Then it turned to sleet. What a great day to stay indoors snuggled under a blanket! Had the Flame broiled beef patty today. My styrofoam puck that turns into a decent and yummy dinner! I put some worchestershire sauce in the tray before [...]
