Finding Radiance

A bright and hopefully shiny 2012 is here.  The new year didn’t start off bright and shiny, though. That was bizarre to see.  Fog in January and no snow.  You would think we were in the PNW. I ended up pretty much not working on Monday. There was about 20 minutes of work and that [...]

Last day of the year and I forgot to do my goal wrap up yesterday. Ooops.   I had a few goals for December: 1. No weight gain over the holidays.  Fail.  I did gain weight this month. 2. Do some no added sugar days.  I did a very little sugar days and a couple no sugar days.  Of [...]

Wow – the last day of June.  Sometimes it scares me how fast time goes by.  I had a busy month!  Time to see how I did on my monthly goals. 1. Enjoy turning 43! Done! 2. Go no TV for one week. We did this and it wasn’t bad at all!  TV is actually [...]

Lifting day! After the dreariness of yesterday, today’s bright sunshine was a welcome relief, even though it is still cold. I was up early, though, thanks to Ms. Pixie pushing on the door wanting her crack.  So, I was at the gym earlier than usual. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Stiff-legged deadlift 3 sets of 10 [...]

Okay – March starts tomorrow and that really means spring is coming!  You wouldn’t think so with the amount of snow we had since Friday.  Here I am standing by a snow bank on the side of the house: That would be about 4 feet high.  Our bobsled chute: It is very hard to see [...]

It’s a comin’! The snow’s a comin’!    I knew I would have a chance to get in my lifting workout before it really hit. It was just starting to get a little sloppy out when I left the house this morning. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Lying Leg Press 3 sets of 10 at 100# [...]

Happy New Year’s Eve!!  It’s been a nice quiet day.  Very little work to do, but there may be some more tonight. Since it was going to be 40 degrees out, I decided an outdoor run would be nice to do today.  That meant waiting until it actually got up to 40!  So breakfast it [...]

One really great thing about having a blog is that you can review things much better than just in a photo album or by memory.  I have been having a good time looking through this past year and all that has happened to me.  I have to say that 2010 was really a great year [...]

I made it through yesterday!  I had one more date last night because I was hungry, but fine otherwise.  I don’t know how people who weigh more than I do eat less food than 1500 calories.   Maybe I will just need to get used to it again.  It’s been so long in maintenance where I [...]

Last night I put the flannel sheets on the bed. It was so hard this morning to wake up in the dark and think about going outside to go to the gym! But until I set up a squat rack at home, off I go. It was very quiet at the gym this morning. Maybe [...]
