I didn’t exercise this weekend.  I did one thirty minute walk around the neighborhood, delivering newsletters.  That’s it. So, I planned to run today.  I miss my run.  I’m feeling all soft and squishy and lazy. Unfortunately, my body has other ideas.  After years of not getting seriously ill, I’m finding that the combination of…

This hasn’t been the greatest fitness week of all time.  Nor has it been the best food choices week.  But I’m going to celebrate the fact that there were ANY successes, given what is going on here this week. I have an appointment this afternoon because it hurts to swallow.  At least if it’s strep,…

The Good: I’ve been much more aware of what I’m eating.  Fruits and vegetables are starting to remake an appearance on my plate. I’m running on some what of a schedule and I’m hitting the gym a few other days a week. Mother Nature has been apologizing for October by giving us an absolutely beautiful…

ART on  a nerve entrapment?  Quite possibly the most painful thing I’ve ever done.   My chiro shares an office with a dentist.  I wonder how badly my screaming from the pain would upset the dental patients? On the bright side, the spot that hurt during my run earlier this week didn’t hurt on my run…

1.  Running – I seem to finally be on the road back to regular running.  I’m still running most of my runs without Garmin, but I occasionally use it to see my mileage.  I’ve managed one 6 miler and one 4 miler recently, in addition to a few shorter runs.  I’m not going to be…

In honor of Shoo’s birthday, here are a few random facts about him: He’s never been in the hospital.  If you’ve met him, you know just how amazing this is.  (Yes, he was born at home.  Yes, it was intentional.) He’ll climb anything. Yes, he’s standing on my table.  Yes, he got there on his…

Yes, I do realize our scarecrow looks like he’s hung over LOL

Did you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month?  Unfortunately, I got to spend the month a little too aware of it.  I’ll skip to the punchline because I know firsthand just how stressful waiting is: I’m fine. The long story… As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I went in recently for my first…

that all the layers in the forest can be represented in a Lego structure? Here we have the canopy, understory, and herb layers… As well as the shrub layer and the forest floor. And for good measure… The bacon layer… Running with a client today for the second time since last spring.  She’s nearly ready…

Life is a bit stressful for me right now.  Not much I can do about it.  It is what it is.  But that doesn’t make it easier.  In fact, for me (and I’m sure for many of you), stressful things that just have to be lived through are much harder than stressful things where you…

I woke up this morning in a crabby mood.  Perhaps “woke up” is the wrong term.  That implies I slept.  I’m dealing with a bit of stress related insomnia right now + post nasal drip from a mild cold.  The combination meant that I had difficulty falling asleep last night and that I woke up…
