Finding Radiance

Off to the gym this morning! It was surprisingly warm in the 40s. We have had warm weather the last few days, but some snow is soon to come. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Lying Leg Press 3 sets of 10 at 100# Lower Body Straight Leg deadlift 3 sets of 10 with 70# bar Low [...]

Rainy, rainy morning.  No biking today.  The people at the cafe also mentioned that fact that we didn’t bike there   (might be that we are known for biking around these parts!) It still was supposed to be bagel day, though.  Except there were no wheat bagels available.  So what did I have instead? Pumpkin coffeecake! [...]

I managed to get everything done on my list yesterday!  That felt good, although I was tired  when I finished up at 10:30, so I climbed into bed and watched football.  My lame Ravens who I predicted to go to the Super Bowl (along with the Saints).  Guess that pick is not panning out too [...]

Yesterday was such a good day.  John and I had a nice bagel,  a good time at the corn maze, squeezed in a bike ride, the Broncos won (finally) and I won the football picks this week! Good day indeed. If only Monday could be so good. It is so dark out before 7 am [...]

I was up and ready to take my body that I love so much to the gym!  There actually was no one in the free weights section – Squeeee!!! Privacy!  I even took a picture. To the left is what is called the cardio deck.  It is a raised area in the center of the gym [...]

Hello brand new week – nice to meet you!  I miss the light in the mornings.  It feels much earlier than it really is when I get up.  I decided to hit the gym on a Monday this week.  I have been very flexible with my workouts pending the weather since I joined this gym. [...]

Thanks for all your thoughts on hunger yesterday.  It’s quite interesting how we all deal with it (or not LOL). Lifting day.  We should make some kind of theme song for lifting day, don’t you think? I drank a protein drink (15 g of protein) and headed out. It was somewhat dark when I left [...]

We had such a nice weekend. Again, it went by too fast. I am still celebrating with my football gloating. I am making John take me out to dinner this evening because this week is jammed full of stuff. This morning did bring a change in routine for me. Meet my new gym! Lookie what’s [...]

Verdict on the sleep mask? Still out. At first, I kept wiping at it because my sleepy self thought it was the sheet over my face (d’uh). It did block out light, which was really good. However, I got super hot last night and that kept waking me up. So, I can’t really judge the [...]

Nice to see all the Journey fans out there!  I never said my favorite songs, but they are Wheel in the Sky, Lights, and Open Arms.  Okay, more than that, but a few! I officially have biking fever. As I biked this morning, I had to really talk myself into stopping at the gym instead [...]
