Goals need some form of accountability. We all know that. Let’s look back to my holidays and discuss my overaccounting. Like most people, I hate to think it is a given I’ll gain a few pounds over the holidays. As a runner, I have many times planned my next year’s race schedule to keep me… Continue reading Overaccounting
It’s a new year. For some reason, we seem programmed to evaluate and start reshaping our lives at the start of new years. Why we don’t pick March 15 or April 15 is beyond me. I do not really call these resolutions. These are goals. Hopefully, with an injury free year, I’ll meet all my… Continue reading Goals, Aspirations, Resolutions
Maybe I should take that a week at a time. This Monday was going to be the start of me posting here regularly again. I was going to do a three day recap of my goals for this wonderful year I am still currently in – though my recaps would lead you to believe the… Continue reading A Better Year Coming
After spending three months out of the last five in the desert, hydration is always on my mind. I know that as the weather here gets colder, I have more and more trouble staying hydrated. Add to that a red-eye flight back from California which means I did not drink as much water on the… Continue reading Hydration
Disclaimer: I received free samples of Manitoba Harvest hemp protein powder in both vanilla and chocolate through my association with Fit Approach. All opinions are my own. As a vegetarian, I often worry about my “cheats.” I eat eggs. I eat fish. I do not, however, eat drink cow’s milk. I often wonder about things… Continue reading Manitoba Harvest #pro70 – Product Review
I cannot believe that the first month of 2014 has already gone flying past. I do not know where the month went. My sights for the year are set high and the only bar I am moving closer to with great strides seems to be reading. I ran no races in the month of January.… Continue reading A Month Gone By
Last week’s meal planning went quickly by the wayside. I made it two days into the week before going off kilter. With another cold snap coming up this week, I am glad as some of what I was going to make will be shifted to this week. Sunday – Tacos (ground chicken for the kids… Continue reading Food for the Week
Who doesn’t love a new slate? A blank page? Okay, people who have a block for writing may not like a blank page but truthfully, there is nothing but possibility in newness. In starting over. In starting again. A new day. A new week. A new year. Of course, those new beginnings are made so… Continue reading Hey there, New Year!
I have realized that I need to get back to menu planning. Without it, I tend to eat poorly. Actually, I eat just fine but I make poor decisions about what I am going to eat. One of the largest issues with cooking meals is that my two youngest, 19 & 23 so you do… Continue reading Menu Planning
Another post that is going to have a bit of this and that in it, I think. November is gone and it was a tough month for goals being reached. Ran race 13 (Richmond Marathon) and race 14 (Pete Keyes 5 Miler Turkey Trot) this month so have reached my goal of 13 in 2013.… Continue reading November in the Rear View Mirror
