Finding Radiance

Woke up to an early quiet morning today. Foggy out. It was cold, too!  Around 49 degrees. I puttered around for a bit before deciding on what to have for breakfast: Warm apple topping on waffles!  Tasty!  I was making plans to go to the farmer’s market when John got up.  He had breakfast and [...]

I was up early again today.  Supposed to be hot, so I wanted to get a bike ride in.  My upper body feels like it was run over by a steam roller, though, thanks to yesterday’s workout.  My legs are fine.   In fact, my legs are solid like trees right now!  Yay thighs! I had [...]

Woke up to some refreshing coolness today!  The humidity is gone, thank goodness.  I had a protein drink and biked on out to the gym. To ‘warm up,’ I ran 2 miles on the treadmill at 5.5 mph.  That way I could get all nice and sweaty before hitting the weights. Not a heavy duty [...]

Thanks for all your thoughts on my comparison post yesterday.  In reading the “Savor” book, I realize that there is nothing necessarily wrong with me having those feelings, and acknowledging that they are there doesn’t mean they are true.  The nice thing about acknowledging that is that I don’t feel driven to eat out of [...]

Happy Earth Day!  The malt was quite good that John brought me last night.  It was made with maple soft serve and malt powder!  I am really sorry that I know how good that combo is…. I went to bed around 10 pm last night, hoping to get extra sleep, but I was up before [...]

Hello from Rainville.  It has been so wet this week! We are supposed to get a big warm up later in the week and I am sure the garden is going to go gangbusters after all this rain!  This weather meant indoor running today.  I don’t like running in the rain (or doing much in [...]

** Oatmeal on The Go giveaway ends tomorrow! * It’s Wednesday!  Almost done with the work week, yay   Too cold to bike, so I drove out to the gym for the requisite lifting session!  I warmed up on the treadmill and then hit the weights: Dumbbell walking lunges:  3 sets of 8 (each leg) [...]

Happy Saturday!  Another great day today!  Long bike ride on tap for the day.  Fueled up with some protein waffles topped with a mix of ricotta cheese, pumpkin, spice, and 1 tsp of honey (warmed in microwave).  Sprinkled with craisins. Along side some cafe au lait and this was a yummy breakfast! Set out for [...]

I am so sorry I didn’t include a P for Pixie yesterday!  So, I will make up for that.  I think she is more popular than I am…….. It is a glorious pre-Spring day.  I knew I wanted to run outside, but not until later so I slept in until 7:15!  Yay!  Felt pretty good, [...]

Tuesday and it is midweek for me!  Hope you had a chance to read my running post from earlier. Speaking of running, that was on the agenda for today!  I almost ran outside, as it was 29 degrees, but there was frost on the car and I decided just to go to the gym.  Feeling [...]
