This is turning into a very busy week. Tomorrow I hit the road for a combo business/personal trip…it’s all complicated but should work out ok. Lots of driving though.
I completed my 65km in 4 weeks challenge by being a full 7 km over goal. Amazing to me that I can make my body do this. [...]

Alright, I wanted to share this: Son #1 (who is in the doghouse as far as I am concerned right now, long story, but…) said, “How much weight have you lost, Mom?” Me: ‘Not one bloody pound, according to the scale.” Him: “Really. Cause you are looking a lot more lean. It must be [...]

It is a Sunday but I am going to go into the office for a few hours. I’ve got tons of projects to tackle here at home, too, but I am waiting until Son #1 moves out (10 more days). I love him but I want my space back. Right now if I start anything [...]

I just have to accept that none of the weight-loss math applies to my body. Apparently my fat is from another planet and does not follow earth-bound rules.
Fine. I will ignore it.
I will turn my attention to mostly how I feel instead and only do the things that make me feel good. So far - [...]

Feeling very proud of myself right now. This afternoon I ventured off the running track and did 45 minutes - week 4 of the 5k training program plus some extra - on the hiking trail on the edge of town which meant I managed uneven terrain, hills and fear of bears. Of course I took [...]

OK, my beloved nike ipod thingy is not recording the length/pace of my ‘wunning’ accurately. I am very unhappy about this. It’s supposed to last for 1000 hours and I have not covered anywhere near that. On the plus side I am up to week 4 of my ‘first 5k’ learn-to-run program. And tomorrow I [...]

Grrr. I hate the scale. Yet I can’t seem to stay off it.
The past week I have let my exercise slow down a bit, so back to the couch-to-5k training program. Tonight I just did a random 30 minutes run, walk, run, walk…which I know always skews towards walking.
I am not a natural exerciser. I [...]

It’s a quiet Sat morning - Son #1 is 24 today (so that makes me….39….lol) and he is sleeping in to celebrate, dog is sprawled across the hall, cat is curled up on the chair, and I have a big cup of coffee in front of me. It is pouring rain, so I can’t do [...]

I arrived home with a car load of stuff from my grandmother’s house, not so much that I wanted/needed it, more that I just couldn’t bear to see it go. And I agreed to take the dining room set, which is gorgeous mahogany but I now have to sell my set to make room.
I did [...]

A very emotional day. Yesterday my mom called me to her side because my grandmother, who has been dying for a long time, had a heart attack. I joined her at the hospital and we took Grandma home, knowing it was finally her end. She died this afternoon. I spent a lot of time with [...]
