Finding Radiance

I was up too early this morning and I waited to see what time John would get up to go out for breakfast.  I worked for a while, then decided to take a shower before waking him up. He actually appeared just before my shower and scared the bejeezus out me. Conversation: L:  Good morning! [...]

Are you ready for some football???  Yippee!! The day didn’t start so well for one member of the household.  I went to get  a new can of Pixie’s wet food out and realized that I must have forgotten to pick some up at the store!  She gets dry food and her daily treat is 1/4 [...]

It’s still February, right?  Had a few inches of snow overnight, so my drive to the gym was a squidge slick, but not bad.  Enough to keep some people out of the gym, though.  It was quiet today.  I did 3 miles on the treadmill and called it a day.  Fast forward to home and [...]

Welcome to new readers from Womans Day! I was lucky enough to be asked to particpate in this article in Woman’s Day on blogging and losing weight.  Lynn (one of my maintainer idols) is also featured in there.  I feel honored to be in very good company indeed! 2 years and counting of keeping it [...]

Okay – you guys totally crack me up with the comments yesterday!  Not sure I am going to eat any more Brazil nuts… It was dark and rainy when I got up. I drank a protein drink before going to the gym, which was just plain whey isolate in milk. No flavor or sweetener. The [...]

It was a nice cool morning today.  It had rained, so the air was fresh.  I decided to do a run outside today.  No lifting today, so I didn’t need to go to the gym.  I hit the pavement for a good 3 mile run.  It felt good.  Once the long ride is done this [...]

I was up early for a pre-heat bike ride today.  With temps expected into the low 90s, I knew I had to get it in early.  I had some toast and jam pre ride: I zoomed along pretty fast.  I was on the roadway for the first 6 miles, then I hit the path.  Noticeable [...]

Some great comments on the blogger role model post from yesterday.  I loved all the insights. Thanks for saying I am a role model. I don’t know as I really meant to ask that specifically, but the post title kind of did that. I woke up to cloudy gloom today. I decided against biking because [...]

You know it’s Sunday when you see bagels and biking in the title!  Here is  a picture of my trusty bike: Nothing special.  Just an old Schwinn hybrid type that I got used about 5 years ago for $140.   You don’t need anything special to ride 100 miles , although it would be easier with [...]

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 means brekkie a little sooner [...]
