Finding Radiance

Well, the first real challenge day arrived.  No grains means no bagel! I woke up and waited for John to wake up to ride to breakfast.  Normally he doesn’t sleep too late, but he did today and I was getting cranky and antsy.  I should have just eaten breakfast.  You know how that goes.  I [...]

Happy new week!  I am glad to restart caffeine today, but more on that later.  I was up bright and early and it was so nice outside.  Mid 60s and perfect for a morning walk.  I decided I need to make sure I cross train more and don’t bike all the time.  I have already [...]

I am melting in this heat.  Actually, it is the humidity that does me in.  I was so tired yesterday that I started to fall asleep in the afternoon.  Then last night I could hardly keep my eyes open and I just gave in and went to bed at 10, turning off the light at [...]

I am glad you liked my recap of the 1500 calorie week. I am tired of talking calories now, though LOL! Back to eating After fueling up this morning, I headed out to see what trouble I could get into at the gym. After a treadmill warm up: Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell Squats 1 [...]

I took a day off blogging yesterday! I didn’t have anything interesting to say, really, and I worked,so figured I would just not post. Today is also work day for me, but I get paid a little extra My gym was open today, but open later.   I, however, was up at my usual time.  [...]

Happy Hump Day! Sort of. When you work 6 days, where is the hump exactly? Guess that would be tonight. Anyhoo, I decided to chance the gray skies and bike to the gym. First I quaffed a protein beverage: Then headed out. The air in the gym was all wavy from the amount of testosterone [...]

Rainy overnight and the morning was humid, but cloudy, so I decided to run at the track.  Pixie and I were messing around with photos this morning while I waited for my snack to settle a little bit.  Best of all the pics below Pixie looks like she is saying “You didn’t shower yet, did [...]

Happy Monday! I was up a little early today for my workout. I ate a Balance bar while getting my bag ready for the gym. Probably not very mindfully, but oh well. Biked to the gym for a good lifting session: Exercise Set/rep/weight Muscle worked Barbell split squats 3 sets of 8 with 75# bar [...]

Wow was it cold overnight!  It was 48 degrees    What a way to start July!  I decided to try to sleep in as much as I was able to and got up around 7.  I was going to go for a run, but with a high of 70 or so, I figured I would [...]

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 [...]
