Finding Radiance

It’s Christmas Eve!  This is really my favorite day of the year.  It’s the anticipation at its peak I was up wayyyyy early today at 5:30 so I got up and worked for a while before heading to the gym.  I had a Zone bar before and hit the treadmill for 5.5 miles!  It felt [...]

Whew – what a busy, busy day!  Hence the reason for the late post.  I also was going to do a post on the naming of this blog, but I think I will wait on that and post next week, as it deserves its own post I woke up early for the gym today.   Da [...]

I have to say, this weather has been really cold!  It has not been above freezing for a couple weeks now, I think.    No precip, so the air has been very dry.  It’s so hard to get out to go to the gym and get in a cold car (but better than biking in [...]

Happy Winter solstice everyone!  Today is the first official day of winter and the shortest day of the year.  From now on, days get longer, although colder (well, it already has been pretty cold).    The busy week wraps up with Christmas on Friday and then I will take some time for reflection on how I [...]

It’s a cloudy day here today.  It’s funny knowing that these clouds are part of the system dumping snow all over NYC just 6 hours south.  Usually it’s the opposite where we get snow here and rain or nothing down there.  Hope all of you in the snow zone are safely tucked inside! Went to [...]

Check out the gingerbread cookie recipe if you haven’t already!  I didn’t put nutritional info there because it really will depend on the size of the cookie and whether you use the protein powder or not. I took last night off from blogging and the internet in general.  Unplugging is a good thing at times!  [...]

Looks like a lot of you use rewards points!  Thanks so much for all of your comments everyone!  I love logging in each morning and reading them.  Headed out to the gym today.  It turns out that one of the owners did pass away this weekend.  He was only 35.  Very sad.  The gym will [...]

Happy Monday everyone!  Or probably Tuesday by the time most of you read this Don’t forget to enter the cookbook giveaway! Off to the gym this morning to workout.  It was really weird there today, as I overheard one of the new owners talking about pallbearers and funerals, and the other owner wasn’t there.  That [...]

Glad you all liked the granola recipe!  It’s so good and spicy. I slept in again until 7:30!  Yippee!  Out for the usual Sunday bagel, only my mother met us there after she got out of church! It’s always fun to have company at bagels.  We all had a gingerbread bagel, too – triplets! It [...]

Yay – the weekend is here!  Today went by really fast, too. I actually slept in until 7:15 – which is pretty late for me.  I moseyed on down to the gym, where I did my workout: Chin up:  2 Barbell squats:  3 sets of 8 at 85 pounds Widegrip lat pull down:  3 sets [...]
