Finding Radiance

I am glad you liked my recap of the 1500 calorie week. I am tired of talking calories now, though LOL! Back to eating After fueling up this morning, I headed out to see what trouble I could get into at the gym. After a treadmill warm up: Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell Squats 1 [...]

I took a day off blogging yesterday! I didn’t have anything interesting to say, really, and I worked,so figured I would just not post. Today is also work day for me, but I get paid a little extra My gym was open today, but open later.   I, however, was up at my usual time.  [...]

Some great comments on the blogger role model post from yesterday.  I loved all the insights. Thanks for saying I am a role model. I don’t know as I really meant to ask that specifically, but the post title kind of did that. I woke up to cloudy gloom today. I decided against biking because [...]

Off to the gym on my new bike this morning.  It was a fast ride there.  Definitely take some getting used to, I have to say.  I locked it up at the gym and kept looking out the big windows to make sure it was still there LOL! I am now working on some endurance, [...]

We are now home safe and sound. Sunday was a snack eating day with chocolate and bread and crackers. I woke up pretty puffy feeling this morning! Up too early as Pixie was pushing on the bedroom door at 5:30. I got up and moved into the spare room so she wouldn’t wake up John [...]

Happy Tuesday!  I had a good night’s sleep last night.  Yay!  I decided to do a pre breakfast run today.  Haven’t done one of those in a long, long time.  I think pre-injury!  I had a granola bar first for energy: then I hit the streets for a 3-mile run.  Running is still a struggle [...]

Hump day for me!  Yeah!  I got some good sleep and was hungry for breakfast.  I decided on pumpkin cream of wheat.  I think my pumpkin stash might make it until fall. This bowl contained whole grain Cream of Wheat, 1/2 cup pumpkin, cinnamon, 1.5 tsp of molasses, 2 egg whites, topped with crystallized ginger [...]

Ah the weekend. Fridays are never crowded at the gym. Guess nobody wants to work out on Fridays? Had a protein drink and then biked in. I decided to take it easy on the legs today with a race coming up Sunday. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Stiff-legged dead lifts 3 sets of 10 with 45# [...]
