Finding Radiance

I can’t believe how fast this past year has gone from when I made that promise to practice 3 times a week starting in January.  It flew by! I have had a cheap guitar for a few years.  I would get so I would pick at it (no pun intended) for a couple times, then [...]

Something I have been working very hard on of late is to accept me as I am.  I still struggle a lot with self image and expecting the perfect body to come along if I work hard enough. I took this picture at the gym last week.  I shot from the side because I don’t [...]

I woke up today convinced it was Friday.  Don’t you hate that? It was sprinkling a bit this morning and I was going to go to the gym and walk, but then I figured I wouldn’t melt and decided to walk around town.  It was 35 degrees out, so I dressed for 55 and headed [...]

Happy Hump Day!  And Happy Love Your Body Day!  Two great days, if you ask me  Hump Day started off with a bagel!  We ended up driving instead of biking as John needed to get an early start on his day and it was actually drizzly in town when we got there.  I had a [...]

Biking day!  Actually, I had the bike out yesterday, too.   I love my bike so much!  It was 50 degrees when we got up, so good to ride.  We were ready for breakfast today.  I had my usual wheat bagel: and coffee!  John had a pumpkin coffee cake.  It’s all about the pumpkin now. [...]

Time out from regularly scheduled programming for an announcement.  I know there are probably many of you who have read Susan’s blog – The Great Balancing Act.  If not, you should.  She is an excellent writer. Susan and I “met” a couple years ago.  We were both training for our first triathlon that occurred at [...]

Thanks for all the comments on my 100 mile day!  I definitely am still recovering.  Yesterday I walked for 2 miles and that felt fine.  I noticed some wrist soreness still and then when John and I went out on the scooter yesterday, I had soreness in my saddle area!  That is pretty unusual for [...]

Over the weekend, I celebrated another year of maintaining my 100 pound weight loss.   My yellow sunsprite rose came back again this year along with me. For those that don’t know, the yellow rose bush is one I bought for myself as a gift for losing 100 pounds 3 years ago.  It was kind of [...]

I cannot believe it is Thursday already.  Gorgeous day on tap around here as well.  I took a rest day for the most part today.  I have put 200 miles on my bike since June 1st.  It’s making lifting hard to do. Breakfast was a cooler weather classic – pumpkin cream of wheat! Mornings in [...]

I thought I would just answer some random questions I have been getting recently in comments or emails. just for fun. 1.  Do you really photograph everything you eat? Pretty much.  Ask my family LOL! I don’t always take pictures of nibbles, although I usually mention that. I am certainly not a ‘perfect eater’ – [...]
