Finding Radiance

Dang it feels like Friday.  Not so, unfortunately!  I slept in a little later this morning, which was quite nice. Pixie says “Don’t just sleep in, sleep all the time!” Today is to be a grain-free day.  The challenge will be dinner out – for my football winning dinner!   Poor John. I made up a [...]

Since I can’t call it Bagel Day, I guess it is Biking Day!  It was cool and foggy this morning, like living in the Pacific NW.  I grabbed a quick protein hit and we biked for breakfast.  By the time we got to town, the sun was out and burned off the fog. I had [...]

It’s Monday.  So today begins my 21 day grain-free challenge. Not just gluten free, but grain free. This means no: Wheat*Rye*Barley*Bran*Bulgur*Couscous*Farina*Kamut*Orzo*Semolina*Spelt*Corn*Cornmeal*Rice *Oats*Millet* and a few other grains that I just don’t eat (and have never heard of). It also means some of the derivatives, like no cornstarch and no beer! Not that I drink much [...]

Finished!  My summer goal complete.  No peloton, no lead out train, just me in my own private break away doing 100 miles. Let’s ride, shall we?  I was up early to get an early start on the ride.  I did my standard fuel of banana custard oats with jam and coconut butter. What a pretty [...]

Okay!  Here are the results of all who sent me in their entries!  Thank you so much to everyone who participated!  Every time I got a new email in my box this weekend, it made me smile to see what you did.  I hope this starts a new tradition There was everything from running, walking, [...]

Another week begins I was up and ready for a run today.  Must be all that Super Bowl food I ate yesterday!  Hooray for pretzels! I headed out for the treadmill and did 3 miles with a speed arc going from 5.0 to 6.0 mph and back down over the course of the 3 miles.  [...]

Happy New Year’s Eve!!  It’s been a nice quiet day.  Very little work to do, but there may be some more tonight. Since it was going to be 40 degrees out, I decided an outdoor run would be nice to do today.  That meant waiting until it actually got up to 40!  So breakfast it [...]

Christmas Eve! This is the day I like the best because on Christmas it is all over. I love the festiveness and the lights and the feeling of anticipation on the eve. One of my favorite things to do is late at night on Christmas eve is to turn on holiday music and sit in [...]

Hooray for Friday! Had a lot to do today, that is for sure. I started with my workout this morning. The furnace was out at the gym and it was very cold in there! It was probably 55 degrees. I don’t mind it being a little cooler because I get sweaty, but my nose was [...]

Hope you all had a great weekend!  Mine was fairly uneventful, which actually was kind of nice.  Plus, I made it through my 7-day 1500 calorie challenge to myself! (more on that below)  Now I can get back to regularly scheduled eating on Monday.  Even with lowered calories, I was still able to eat my [...]
