Cheaters never win, and…
I found out today that someone I have run with in the past has cheated in several races. It really disturbs me that someone would do this. My journey to get healthy through running, exercise, and better eating has been pock-marked with successes and failures, I could never imagine cheating myself out of this journey.… Continue reading Cheaters never win, and…
Give me a break! Or not…
I have used this little bit of advice in my blog before; but it bears repeating. Giving up is NOT a good idea, changing your course, changing your method, changing what you are trying to accomplish are OK, but giving up is not. I took a break from my workout routine for the past couple… Continue reading Give me a break! Or not…
If you are what you eat, I am in deep trouble
This is easier said than done. There, I said it, I am having a tough time with healthy eating. I smoked for more than 30 years, over a year and a half ago I quit and have never looked back. Don't get me wrong, I certainly crave a cigarette at times, but I have not… Continue reading If you are what you eat, I am in deep trouble
The Inevitable Thankful post
First, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This is my favorite holiday because I get to be with my family with only the expectation to eat, and laugh, and love. We have so much fun! I will miss my extended family this year, but with just my immediate family alone a good comedy writer could come up with… Continue reading The Inevitable Thankful post

This morning my husband came into our room while I was standing on the scale; I was standing there looking down, just lingering on the scale. He said "What is the matter?", I said "I cannot get this number to budge and it is irritating!"(I think my language may have been a little more colorful… Continue reading Move! Damn it!
A Stroll in the Park
Hi all! I am almost 1-week into my healthy eating challenge and everything is going well; actually easier than I thought it would be. Although I did slip one day and had to list a Kind Bar and a Vodka and Diet Coke to my snacks on my food tracker, not as serious as it… Continue reading A Stroll in the Park
The Fit and Fabulous 50s
I am not old, but sometimes I feel like I picked a hell of a time to bring fitness and healthy eating into my life; I feel this might have been much easier when I was 20 or even 30. When I was an adolescent I was of average build, I was pretty active but… Continue reading The Fit and Fabulous 50s
Why am I whining?
Monday and Wednesday of this week we did ab work at boot camp, considering I am a couple of cases away from a six-pack, this has been a particularly interesting experience for my body. Today I went on a short run, about 30-minutes, my normal morning run. After eating breakfast I got up to get… Continue reading Why am I whining?
Day-1 – I really want a cookie
So today started my 21-day eating challenge. It was going to be a 21-day Clean eating challenge, I have found that there are at least 2-million definitions for "clean eating", so I am going with my version of eating healthy. It is easy to do and easy to understand. I do not have to find… Continue reading Day-1 – I really want a cookie
