Finding Radiance

Hope you all had a great long weekend (those of you that had a long weekend). We had such gorgeous weather. It was nice to poke around outside today. Since I did heavy workouts on Sat and Sun, I was going to take it easy today.Couldn’t quite do that LOL. So, I did my normal [...]

I stayed well on track this weekend. Went to dinner at my sister’s house last night, and measured out a cup of pasta, had steamed broccoli and one meatball. We had birthday cake for my father, but I ended up bringing strawberries so that I could eat those instead, drizzled with a bit of chocolate [...]

Still doesn’t quite feel like Spring outside. Mid 30s and sunny, but windy and brisk. Took a short walk outside. I really want to get my bike out!! Feeling a little sore from my bowflex, particularly in the tricep and hip area. I added a new hip abductor exercise and boy howdy, I feel it [...]
