Finding Radiance

Lifting day! I was totally expecting the gym to be packed, but there were even less people there than usual. I think everyone went yesterday (which is why I didn’t go) or maybe because it was really cold out.  We only got to 17 degrees this afternoon.  Now it feels like January around here.   Each [...]

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 [...]

Thank you for your comments on my Team Challenge ride!  I need to figure out how to put a donate button or something on this site, but the page you can do it from is here, and click on the support button to the right.  It will be a bit different from our longer rides [...]

Seems a lot of people like the tuna/cottage cheese combo.  I am so not sure about that one….. Woke up early today, thanks to Ms. Pixie.  I forgot to feed her dry food last night, so she was pushing on the door at about 5 am this morning   I got up and gave her [...]

Last day of my work week – happy, happy day!  I was up early to eat (of course).  Fairly clean eating day commenced: Love those protein waffles.  I noted that these blueberries did not taste as sweet as they normally do, and I think it was due to the sweet stuff I had yesterday.  Interesting…. [...]

The start of the weekend!  I got it going with a fantastic weight lifting session.  I got to the gym at 7:15 – I sure know how to sleep in on my day off, don’t I? I jogged 1 mile on the treadmill for a warm up, then hit the iron: Chin ups:  2 sets [...]

I ruminated a little on Jinx’s comment about whether or not I ever let my guard down.  The short answer to that would be no, not ever completely. I actually ate a good amount of food yesterday.  I did not record the food I ate (except what showed up in picture form   ).  In [...]

I took a Tylenol PM last night both for the back and the pain at the Broncos loss last night.    I slept really well for almost 8 hours (go me!!).  Opened my eyes and took inventory: Sore legs? check Sore butt?  check Sore arms, sides and chest?  Check, check, and check. My back injury [...]

Thanks for you comments on my musings earlier LOL! Back to regularly scheduled programming….. Woke up too early again today.  It was a little after 6:00 and I went to bed  after 11:30.  I really do better with 7 hours of sleep, so why does my body persist in waking up early?  Anyway, I just [...]

Thank you for all of your opinions on my 2 dresses.  I should also note that those are the only 2 dresses I own!  As I lost weight, I have always worked without needed them, so I just got these recently.  I have John’s opinion on the 2 dresses, now I just need to make [...]
