Ugh! I am really getting frustrated with myself and my current eating habits. I have lost just over 42 pounds since January and I am very happy with that. My workout routines have gotten more frequent and intense lately and I think less about smoking every day. But eating lately is making me crazy! I… Continue reading Leave the gun, take the cannoli

It can only be attributable to human error
Despite the title and the graphic above this is not a post about 2001: A Space Odyssey; both are quotes from the movie and after feeling a bit controlled and dependent on the machines tonight, the theme just seemed appropriate. Hope the reference is not too nerdy. When I started working out to improve my… Continue reading It can only be attributable to human error
I am Iron Man!
I am not Iron Man as the title of my post implies, nor do I have an Ironman Tri on my bucket list. I did however go watch the running portion of the Ironman in our city today and it was inspiring. As most of you know an Ironman consists of a swim, a bike, and… Continue reading I am Iron Man!
Ease on down the road
One more run down towards my half marathon goal. Today I ran my 2nd officially timed 5K race. I ran the race at the same place where I ran my first one. This course is at a local park with many hills, it is so easy to forget how hard it is to run uphill.… Continue reading Ease on down the road
Why do you do it?
My family and I did a fun little run last night sponsored by a local athletic store. Myself, both of my daughters and my daughters boyfriend paid $5 each to participate in the run, a portion of that money goes to a local charity and we got a free beer and a "Run to… Continue reading Why do you do it?
Slutty Brownies and flavored vodka
Sometimes you just have to take the night off, last night was one of those nights. Both of my adult (I clarify this because this post involves drinking) daughters were home visiting last night and they convinced me that we needed to get drunk and bake. I need to describe to you what we baked,… Continue reading Slutty Brownies and flavored vodka
To sleep, perchance to dream
I got the most amazing nights sleep last night, my head hit the pillow I turned over and I was asleep. I love when that happens! I think there are times when I underestimate a good nights sleep; today is not one of those times. I do not always get a great nights sleep, when I do… Continue reading To sleep, perchance to dream
Laugh, and the world laughs with you
Music and humor, I am not sure I would survive getting fit without these two things. Music feeds my energy and humor, well hell I do not think I could do anything without a little humor. Picture this..I am running, doing what used to be my morning routine which was a brisk walk or run… Continue reading Laugh, and the world laughs with you
A walk down memory lane…no regrets just great memories
This has become my new favorite running song. I am not really sure what the composer/writer's original meaning for the song is but what it does for me is stir memories and the beat gets me moving. I have had some good times in my life and most of my younger days were spent with… Continue reading A walk down memory lane…no regrets just great memories
Make of it what you will
This is the power you have, this is the power we all have. When you wake each morning you decide the course of your day. I found this expression "Make Today Ridiculously Amazing" several months ago and I absolutely love it. Since my journey began in January 2012 I have had ridiculously amazing days and… Continue reading Make of it what you will
