I tend to not think of myself as selfish. I am sure, when the boys ask for something and are told I am busy or some other response, they think so. I am not. I just finished reading an article by Rebecca Pratt about putting yourself first.
Pratt hits the nail on the head as she [...]

Everything I Learned
Posted in Family, Fitness, Just my Thoughts, tagged children, Fitness, health on 14 October 2008 | No Comments »
Remember the essay “Everything I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten”? I love that essay! It talks about how all those things we do in kindergarten are needed for life - getting along, sharing, napping.
This morning I opened my email from Sparkpeople.com and found an equally good piece - how we can learn healthy living [...]
What do you keep track of?
Posted in Family, Fitness, Just my Thoughts, tagged exercise, Fitness, tracking on 25 September 2008 | No Comments »
People all over exercise and do it for a variety of reasons. It has been just about one year since I wrote about how you measure progress. At that time, I did not have the ability to weigh myself at home so did it every couple of months. I seriously still do not weigh in [...]
A Run Along with Me
Posted in Fitness, Just my Thoughts on 19 September 2008 | No Comments »
I like to chronicle, in photographs, the routes I take when I run. This, of course, means I get stuck walking most of that day but it is well worth it.
Yesterday’s five miles took me a hour and a half. This is not normal. I stopped for about 20 minutes to talk with one of [...]
Basic Weight Loss

There are a number of blogs I check on a regular basis. At this time of year in this particular type of year, these blogs are mostly political. Today, I was cruising the health blogs at Yahoo while I watched college football and got ready for my run. Last week it was Lucy Dazinger’s blog [...]
Losing Weight

I tell local fitness blogger Val Tokarz that she finds all the cool, good articles and blogs about them. Well, this time I may have one up on her. Of course, I am putting off my run to get this little blurb - or is it little blog? - out of my system.
I opened up [...]

Niagara Gorge
Last Sunday, I took my first hike down the Niagara Gorge to river level. The hike went between Devil’s Hole State Park and Whirlpool State Park. I didn’t do the entire 14 plus miles but did half of the hike and then went back up. All the pics in the slide show are still [...]
Eat Local
Posted in Fitness, Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged food, localfood, eating, ruralhealthnetwork, binghamton on 12 August 2008 | No Comments »
I am sure that eating local will be the topic of many blog posts for me. I read a wonderful book about eating local by one of my favorite authors this summer. This is not the only thing that has made me think that eating local is best.
As I sat watching the local news this [...]
How do you exercise your brain?
Posted in Fitness, Just my Thoughts, Triple Eight Challenge, tagged brainexercise, grabdotcom, jigzone on 6 August 2008 | 1 Comment »
We all spend a lot of time - because it is in the news a lot or because we care about our quality of life - worrying about exercising our bodies, making our bodies more fit and ready for aging (okay, so the teenager that exercises regularly probably doesn’t think of that). The question today [...]
Hydration

I know that hydration is extremely important to casual athletes, serious athletes, the young, the old. Our bodies need water to help with the processes of daily life. In the heat and humidity that signify summer in upstate NY, we may need water more than just when we are exercising.
Training people, and it is a [...]
