Finding Radiance

So you all really are looking forward to me doing a video playing guitar at the end of the year? I hope you know what you are in store for… I did not want to get up this morning. I have to say that going to the gym in the dark is not my favorite [...]

Sunday was a complete rest day for me and it felt really good. I biked in cold weather to the gym this morning. I think the days of shorts for the gym are over, at least on days I bike. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell Deadlifts 3 sets of 10 at 80# Lower body Dumbbell [...]

I tossed and turned all night last night from the heat and I had restless legs, so I got very little sleep.  I had 1/2 a mind to skip the gym this morning because I was so tired, but that is just not me, so I sucked it up and got up. Had a protein [...]

Last day of my work week – happy, happy day!  I was up early to eat (of course).  Fairly clean eating day commenced: Love those protein waffles.  I noted that these blueberries did not taste as sweet as they normally do, and I think it was due to the sweet stuff I had yesterday.  Interesting…. [...]

Bagel day!  I slept back in my own bed last night, which felt pretty good.  I was very stiff and painful this morning, though. Mornings seem to be the hardest time for me pain-wise.  After taking forever showering and such, we headed on out for breakfast at Panera.  I was hoping to not have to [...]

It’s Sunday, so you know what that means! Like how I put the bagel on a nutrition paper?   March is national nutrition month, so I am going to try to work in some posts on this topic. We stocked up on so much fresh produce at the grocery store.  I am making an effort [...]

I decided that I was going to work ultra hard this week, and not take a ‘vacation’ type of week from exercise or eating. So today I changed up the strength training, as I don’t want to do a heavy lower body workout on Wednesday, the day before my race. Doing 4 sessions this week:Today: [...]

. Ate perfectly on plan today. Feels pretty good! Eating clean just makes a big difference in my attitude and how I feel. My Broncos are on tonight, hopefully they will win! It’s a late game, though. Starts at 10:15PM! I’ll be up really late, which means my early morning jog might not be so [...]

I made it through my mini-challenge pretty much 100%. I did have a teaspoon of dark chocolate chips last night, but I don’t consider dark chocolate to be junk.Any other challengers out there have success? I hope so! (Dave, I’m looking in your direction!) So, the weekend is here, and I know I will be [...]

Okay, Day 4 down, one more to go! Yesterday was really easy for some reason. Well, I know what my munchies were caused by last week. PMS! Sometimes it really affects me, sometimes it doesn’t. Not jogging today, I am doing a virtual 5K tomorrow with my sister, so not going to run today. Just [...]
