Finding Radiance

*blink*blink* Was there a weekend that just went by? I need another one.  I am beat today! Rest day on tap with only walking. We actually had to turn our furnace on. The house got down to 62 degrees, so we caved in and turned it on. With the new windows we got last year, [...]

Bagel Wednesday!  We had to try the new coffee shop as they had my favorite bagels there from Uncommon Grounds in Saratoga.  Problem is, the shop is only a little over a mile from our house.  So, we just got on the bikes and wound around town to put some miles on.  What a gorgeous [...]

Friday! I am happy, are you? I was ready for the gym after having a protein drink. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell Squat 3 sets of 12 at 55# Lower Body Wide Grip Lat Pull Down 3 sets of 15 at 45# Back Lying Chest Fly 3 sets of 15 with 10# DBs Chest Reverse [...]

The first full day of spring, and what do we get? It’s like winter left giving us a swift kick in the pants on the way out. Or spring is messing with us. Either way it isn’t very nice… I am going back to lifting 3 days a week now with the lowering of the [...]

Well, rather large change happened to me today, which I was totally not expecting.  But let’s start with the morning first, shall we? It’s getting harder and harder to leave the house in the morning. There seems to be a correlation between the dropping temperature and my desire to go outside   At least it [...]

I was excited to get up to ride this morning.  I think I have an addiction to biking or something.     I had to wear a backpack with spare tube, pump, tools, etc, which I don’t like, but that’s the case until the racks arrive.  I fueled up with a Zone bar: Then I hit [...]

Full 8 hours of sleep last night!  Guess I need to bike 40 miles in order for that to happen.  Legs felt decent, so we went ahead and bike to Panera Bread.  I forgot my jacket, and it was indeed very cold in there.  Oh well, that meant hot coffee with my french toast bagel. [...]

If you haven’t checked out some of the comments on the IE/ME post, you should. They are interesting! I think they really are 2 different approaches to eating. It was still hot this morning, but not too bad for riding to the gym for my workout. Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell squats 3 sets of [...]

Lanacane review/giveaway – don’t miss it! Ah, the last work day of the week.  I decided to take a rest day and make it a no-added sugar day. Last night involved a moving up to 6th grade for my niece: They were all singing here.  We were in the very last row way in the [...]
