Finding Radiance

Even though our 15th anniversary was on Wednesday, in the usual fashion of stretching out holiday/birthday/special occasion type things, we went on a champagne brunch cruise on Sunday.  Sometimes it is nice living in a touristy area because there is always something going on. Here are all the cruise boats waiting to go out: Sunday [...]

The heat wave finally broke! Yay!  Woke up to a glorious 72 degrees out and breezy.  No real plans on tap for the day, which was nice.  Our ride today was for fun and not for a specific reason like the  group ride or my 100-mile ride (and what really was the reason for that???).  [...]

If you missed the other parts of my fun weekend, here is part 1 and part 2. Sunday’s class was my favorite!  Of course because it is food related, right? Now there are 2 types of dutch ovens, the indoor ones with the smooth bottom and the outdoor ones with the little feet and lipped [...]

Would you like to come along on 2 rides?  The weather was a little hit or miss this weekend.  At first, we were going to go for a longer ride on Saturday, but there was rain coming on radar.  Then we decided to go for a shorter ride and get it in before the rain [...]

Friday! I know a couple people who took advantage of the sun coming out today!  But first, there was the necessary stuff. Decided to take it easy on the legs for strength workout today. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Stiff Legged Deadlift 3 sets of 10 at 65# Lower body Seated Calf raise 3 sets of [...]

Thanks so much for your congrats on the job situation!  I really didn’t realize how much stress I was under until it all fell into place.  I was so happy working at home again on Friday.  Hopefully on Monday I will feel the same LOL! Had such a lovely relaxing breakfast at Panera Bread today. [...]

Saturday is bike day!  I was up pretty early, so I had a piece of toast and pear/cranberry jam. I don’t want to say that I was waiting for John to wake up because he noted that I seem to write that a lot on my blog.  So, we will just say I was up [...]

Woke up to the most gorgeous morning, although it was very chilly. We hit an overnight low of 43 – can you believe that? I wanted something warm and toasty, so I made protein waffles and topped with an apple cranberry topping. It was good enough that I am going to write down the recipe [...]

Woke up to a nice morning for breakfast on the porch today!  I made some protein waffles and did a fun sandwich combo out of them.  I mashed a banana and put it in between the waffles and topped with the last of the chocolate homemade fluff. Very, very good! Then I got caught up [...]

Happy Monday! This is the last day of my 4-day weekend, sigh.   There were a lot of great comments on yesterday’s post, so click here if you haven’t read it.  Guess we just never know until time passes whether the weight will stay off.  I think the important thing is to not become complacent. Anyway, [...]
