I am certainly glad to move on from 2015. I’ve held off six days to formulate this post for several reasons. First, I wanted to give it lots of thought. I did but do not know that it had helped. Second, I’ve been extremely busy clearing out my house for the major move that is… Continue reading Here’s to 2016!
I know y’all are probably sick of hearing about my past year. Let me say, even if every goal had been met, it would have been a pretty sucky year (technical term, you know?). My year started with a mother still alive. She was fighting the battle of her life and did lose it in… Continue reading The Emotional Review of 2015
On Monday, I looked back over my 2015 goals for fitness and for food. They sort of go together, right? Both were giant fails but we need to fail to set more reachable goals. We can all learn from failure and move closer to success in the process. Today, I will go over my goals… Continue reading Looking Back – Part 2

Have to admit, this is a tree from a different year. This year’s tree has its beaded garland and a few ornaments on it but is barely started.

Last week, I set out in the eighth annual #HolidaySweat program. This is a program that aims to keep us all active over this holiday time when usually self-care and exercise or eating right are the first things to be dropped as we get ready for huge meals with family and friends. I set a… Continue reading A Week In … #HolidaySweat
Today would have been my mother’s 74th birthday. When she turned 70, we had a huge birthday party for her in the desert. My stepdad took 9 women to dinner with him and the waiter – always looking for a good tip – wanted to know just how he managed to get such a harem… Continue reading Fall Gone
Yesterday was a beautiful fall day in Upstate NY. It was mostly sunny and warm. I think we might have hit 70F at one point in the day. My sister, her husband and our niece came by and wanted to head to Newark Valley to a local corn maze. Stoughton Farms has been doing a… Continue reading Corn Maze
Let’s start this recap off with saying I miss being in the south. I am going back to my desire to move and getting my crap together to head south of the Mason-Dixon. People are so polite. We’ll start the day with it was cold by North Carolina standards when the sun started rising on… Continue reading Bull City Race Fest Recap
I have to admit that I am heading into the Quintiles Bull City Race Fest with a bit of trepidation. I am not properly trained. I am scraping together the money for the trip as my business has slowed quite a bit since last year. The trip, though, has expanded to include my adult daughter… Continue reading Race Week Is Here
