Soulful Simplicity: How Living with Less Can Lead to So Much More by Courtney Carver is this month’s book club selection. Did I mention I started a book club last year out of loneliness? Soulful Simplicity is not a book I would have selected on my own but it certainly came into my life at the… Continue reading Stuff I Don’t Want to Do But Have to Do Anyway to Have a Better Life
Greetings from chaos. I’m in the middle of trying to get my yard finished so that I can decorate for Christmas. I have no tree, only three presents bought, and everything for the house is in storage–a facility I’m too lazy to drive to. The only thing I’ve accomplished recently is I’ve gotten the garage… Continue reading Yes, We Are One of THOSE Families
I must admit that my 6 Word Days homework got forgotten numerous times until one of my online friends I’ve never met, Estrella Azul, joined in and said she would play with me. Having someone to interact in this game is very important otherwise I’m sending random words out to the Twitterverse, and truth be… Continue reading 6 Word Days: Making It a Habit to Play
Last Wednesday, a FitBit Zip arrived in my mailbox. I bought it on Amazon.com for about $50 so I was expecting it on Wednesday and Amazon delivered, as usual. Getting into the package burned some serious calories which meant that the FitBit Zip was already doing its job rather nicely. After finally releasing it from… Continue reading FitBit Zip Review
Eleven weeks ago, I started a challenge. It was supposed to be only 10 weeks, but a trip to Phoenix to see my daughter derailed my motivation. And it’s not as if I couldn’t have exercised while in Phoenix — I was alone on the ground floor of a hotel with nobody above or below… Continue reading The 10 Week Challenge That Took Me 11 Weeks

The biggest challenge is figuring out what 5 things I’d like to do just for me. It has become abundantly… Continue reading #5Things4Me I Need to Do for Me This Week — Week 1
Yesterday I mentioned that I was asked to be part of a 10 week body makeover challenge. So far, I am doing really well. Today is the last day of week 4. To say that it’s incredible I have made it this far is an understatement. Usually I start something and two days later, I… Continue reading Move Over Chocolate, Here Comes Vanilla Shakeology
About six weeks ago, I was asked to participate in a challenge. I’ve never followed through on a challenge before, so I thought, “Why not?” For 10 weeks I have agreed to exercise five days per week for 25 minutes per day, and drink one Shakeology to replace a meal. Sounds easy, right? Well, not… Continue reading Shaun T and Me
Friday was the last day of middle school for my middle daughter. She is heading off to high school. At this point, many parents ask, “Where did the time go?” and I started to ask the same question but I know where the time went — it went toward anything I chose: the good and… Continue reading Where’d the Time Go?
Imagine getting up at 4:30 in the morning to go work out. You’re not really in shape but you’re not too bad but you want what the boot camp owners are advertising: lose inches, shed weight, get firm, and build sexy muscles. You get out of your nice, warm, cozy bed to suit up and… Continue reading How a Local Boot Camp Taught Me a Lesson in Business
