Finding Radiance

In case you missed it, you can sign up for the Healthy Heart Challenge here! Lots of rain last night. What is up with rain in January? My garden is going to struggle this winter, I think. Rain is not good for gardens in this climate as the roots will rot.  They need to be [...]

Icky weather overnight, but the roads were mostly wet. I fueled up with a protein drink and headed on out to the gym. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell Squats 4 sets of 10 with 45# bar Lower Body Close Grip Lat Pull Down 3 sets of 10 at 40# Back Plank 3 sets of 40 [...]

It was a cooooooold weekend here!  All that wind on Friday ushered in really cold weather.  Overnights  below zero and a high today of 15.  Yuck.  Cannot get or stay warm.  I am too much of a wuss to go walking outside in this weather and didn’t want to drive to the gym to walk. [...]

We have had snow finally!  The first real snow of the year.  It actually is melting pretty quick and was easy to shovel.  A nice bit of cardio and strength workout doing that today. I made up a warm and toasty breakfast of the 1-minute waffle. Yesterday was not a great eating day for me. [...]

I finally was able to finish Wheat Belly. I have to say that I was fairly disappointed in this book. Most of you know that I have really cut down on the wheat I consume, so I am not looking at this book from a rah-rah wheat perspective.  I am looking at it from the [...]

I love going back and seeing all the things that happened over the course of the year, don’t you?  It’s one of the fun parts of having a blog.  That’s why I would still blog even if nobody read it but me  I love reading everyone else’s recaps, too!   January brought lots of changes. [...]

Thank you so much for listening to my guitar playing!  I was a bit nervous putting it out there, but really – doing a video is so much easier than a live performance  I will do a couple others next week. How about just a random Christmas countdown for the day? It’s been a bit [...]

Happy weekend!  Yes!!  Are we dancing yet? I got up this morning for a little ride on the trainer before breakfast.  One of the benefits of having that is no going outside in cold weather to go to the gym!  Plus no commute – also a side benefit of working from home. Breakfast was a [...]

I can’t believe how fast this past year has gone from when I made that promise to practice 3 times a week starting in January.  It flew by! I have had a cheap guitar for a few years.  I would get so I would pick at it (no pun intended) for a couple times, then [...]

Just a quickie of a couple things I forgot to mention this week. Alissa is doing a virtual 5K on Thanksgiving, so anyone wanting to burn off a little pumpkin pie can sign up here. I will be walking this year as I stopped running.   Also, Satu from Body Capable  did a little exercise [...]
