I worked out with Josh this morning. He quizzed me on my dreadmill homework. His ongoing goal for me is 20 minutes on the dreadmill daily. He wants me to alternate my jogging sprint days with days walking on an increasing incline. Of course, his quizzing took place as I was actually walking at a ...

Best things in life are free…but I need to save anyway
The view is free after I pay my mortgage, taxes and assessments. One of my goals this year was to pay off all my debt except for my mortgage. I’m on target to do that and still buy a couch. I budgeted for it. And I pick up the occasional extra shift at Wood so ...

I’d rather be limber than rigid
Reclining pigeon pose...OUCH! LADY IN THE ELEVATOR: You’ve been working out with a trainer. ME: Yes, I have. I love it. LADY IN THE ELEVATOR: I’m been watching you. You’re very limber. ME: I work at it. Two years ago, no one would have called me limber... because I wasn’t. I was very rigidity. I hobbled out of bed. ...

The cool weather encourages snuggling under a blanket. With kids back in school, there is that adult self-satisfying smugness. I look at the little darlings ...

It’s always darker at night
It’s always darker at night. The other night I had insomnia. It’s not an infliction that I get with any regularity. It has more recently popped up a couple nights a week for an hour or two on each instance. If I’m being honest with myself, it correlates with my coffee intake sneaking up. I had ...

Let’s do this, Wednesday!
I viewed the blood red moon from my roof this a.m. It was underwhelming. It looked like a distant, fuzzy, orangish circle. I took a picture but it was even less impressive in a photo. To make the most of my roof excursion, I snapped a picture of day breaking. Now, that’s something amazing to ...

Wharton’s masterpiece
“Age of Innocence” was our most recent read in the Roaring 20s Book Club. The movie with Daniel Day Lewis and Michelle Pfieffer is one of my top ten favorite movies of all time. Tom hosted the book discussion at his house. He has a projection movie set-up so we also screened the movie. It ...

I did a handstand…twice
Yesterday, I did this pose at yoga...twice. Of course, I had a shirt on. And I’m fluffier than this guy. Plus, I only did it for a couple moments. BUT I did it. The action freaked me out. I’m getting stronger. My body is changing. I’m not dropping significant weight but that was never my primary ...
