Finding Radiance

I woke up with a candy corn hangover today.  I found out that candy corn and peanuts make a good combo last night.  So after that, I figured today would be a good day to do the no-added sugar day for the week.  It was 30 degrees when we got up and decided to go [...]

I decided on a rest day today.  My insomnia seems to have made a reappearance lately.  I was up at 5 a.m. today.  I came down and did some work, then just went out for a walk when it got light.  Normally I wouldn’t snack before a walk, but my tummy was growling, so I [...]

I made an executive decision to take a rest day today.  I probably should have worked out, because I had a date with cereal and chocolate chips last night while watching Project Runway…. Yesterday my muscles were sore and stiff, and I woke up today feeling the same.  It was a combo of increased reps [...]

Starting off the post with dessert!  I did the banana soft serve last night.  I think this started on Choosing Raw?  Anyway, I put 2 frozen bananas in the food processor.  One was more ripe than the other, as you can see. It did make a difference.  Dumped some cinnamon in there as well. Turned [...]

Did you all remember to change your clocks?  It actually made me sleep a little bit later, but not by much.   Started off Sunday and the beginning of the work week with the glorious bagel! Trail mix with cream cheese.  I decided not to bring my own cream cheese/protein powder mix today and just have [...]

I decided to take today off from exercise, since it is the start of my weekend and I ran 6+ miles yesterday.  I am rethinking how much I run a little bit.  So, it was a lazy morning at home, and I used the rest of the sweet potato I cooked yesterday to make some [...]

Thank you for all the nice comments on the Locks of Love post! Sunday is the start of my work week – and the official countdown to vacation can begin!  WooHoo!!  (Can you tell I am excited??)  I realized that since we stopped biking on Sundays with the cold weather that I have a very [...]

Yippee!  Done with work today and my weekend begins!  Any of you who missed it earlier, John hit his goal weight today!  That makes it a good day all around for both of us.  I’ll just keep plugging along LOL!  His reward is new clothes this weekend! Tomorrow is my last NROLW workout, so I [...]

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 [...]

Went to bed a little later last night after watching the Broncos top the Chargers – WooHoo!!  6-0 baby!  I actually fell asleep during part of the game because I was so tired.  What a fan LOL!  I woke up this morning and nixed the gym because my thighs were still feeling sore.  One more [...]
