Glad Friday is here! I made it through the first of 2 busy weeks fairly unscathed. Thank you planning! I was ready to hit the gym this morning. I decided on 2 lifting workouts this week, so today was day #2. I did a heavy lifting rotation.

I cannot believe it is Thursday already. Gorgeous day on tap around here as well. I took a rest day for the most part today. I have put 200 miles on my bike since June 1st. It’s making lifting hard to do.
Breakfast was a cooler weather classic – pumpkin cream of wheat!
Mornings [...]
Ah memories. One year ago today I herniated the disk in my back.
The worst injury I have ever suffered. I was on crutches for the first time in my life.
The really annoying part? I didn’t do anything out of the norm to cause it. I basically turned to look behind me while [...]
Happy Memorial Day! A big thank you to all who have served and our going to serve our great country.
I have to work today (not complaining, though, seriously), but it still feels kind of like a holiday, you know? My gym is closed today, so no strength workout. That [...]
Thanks for the congrats on 60-mile ride yesterday! We do take a lot of breaks, so it isn’t like we plow through our long rides all at once, as it is for enjoyment and not a race. John also thoughtfully pointed out that it wasn’t quite a metric century, since that was about 62.5 miles. [...]

Hey! I decided to let myself sleep until 7 am this morning. And let me tell you, my upper body is s.o.r.e. from yesterday’s workout! It think it was the incline hammer curls that really did it. My upper body [...]
Okay, I promised myself that I would eat much cleaner today, so here goes!
I woke up not too early this morning. For the last couple days, I have been able to sleep on my stomach again! For whatever reason, my herniated disk made it very painful to try sleep any way but on my [...]
Boy howdy it was hot last night! We didn’t think to put in the window AC unit and it was 85 yesterday, which meant the bedroom was stifling hot. Ugh. So, not the best night’s sleep. Humid this morning, too. After quaffing my protein drink, I headed out to the gym.
15 minutes on the [...]
Hey y’all! Ha ha, can a yankee girl say ‘y’all’?? Just to let you know I am feeling fine today. I got over my annoyance from yesterday and just am going with the flow. Still unsure as to the actual closing on the house, but it will happen. I didn’t stress eat yesterday. I had [...]
Sunday heralds the new work week for me, and the requisite bagel!
Today was blueberry.
Then it was time for the other pre work Sunday ritual:
Freshly stocked with produce and dairy!
Work was a little slow today, so I got down to making some soap. I still have a business that I [...]
