Finding Radiance

Monday already!  John and I lifted our No TV ban last night.  That was 7 days of no TV.  I honestly hardly missed it at all except for in the mornings when it is my habit to turn on the TV after my shower to check the Weather Channel.  Nice to know that if we [...]

Woke up to a chilly, but beautiful sunny morning. It was almost 40, so I knew I would bike to the gym today! Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Cable Squat to row 3 sets of 10 at 60# Full body Bent lateral raise 3 set of 10 with 15# DBs (30# total) Back Pushups 3 sets [...]

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 [...]

I woke up with a frozen yogurt hankering this morning.  I was hoping the weather would at least be cooperative.  I got up and brewed up some coffee and started work early in anticipation of taking a break in the afternoon for a ride! Breakfast consisted of peanut flour waffles with the blueberry sauce/coconut butter. [...]

It’s long ride day!  I was up early and came down to make brekkie.  It was 47 degrees out when I got up.  Can you believe that?  That’s what mountain area does.  It did warm up to 80 degrees, though. I put on a big pot of coffee and made some banana custard steel cut [...]

Thanks for all your thoughts on my comparison post yesterday.  In reading the “Savor” book, I realize that there is nothing necessarily wrong with me having those feelings, and acknowledging that they are there doesn’t mean they are true.  The nice thing about acknowledging that is that I don’t feel driven to eat out of [...]

Sunday and back to work again.  The weather has quieted down.  Since my chain was not working well and we had to go grocery shopping, we just drove to breakfast.  Back to Panera Bread for bagels!  We need more than 2 bagel places around here within an 8-mile radius. Blueberry with reduced fat cream cheese [...]

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, [...]

I am glad you all like the lifting move of the week.  It’s fun to do and keeps the blog from getting boring, you know? Today is a scheduled run day for me, but I decided not to do it in the morning because it looked like it was threatening rain and I didn’t want [...]

Slice of Life Giveaway ends on Friday at noon! Last day of my work week.  Yay!  I woke up a little too early today, and went down to make coffee only to find we didn’t have enough!  So I was on the porch at 7 am roasting coffee in my jammies.  John forgets to tell [...]
