Excuse My Dust

So I decided to move my blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org meaning I am paying someone else to host it. The main reason I did this was so I could have more control over the layout and appearance. Unfortunately, I underestimated how much work and programming knowledge was involved, so please excuse my dust as [...]

The REAL PowerAde

First, I’ll give you a recap of yesterday’s run.  After my dentist appointment I parked at the gym a went for a run in the Ghent area of Norfolk.  I basically just randomly ran around and chose my route based on the streetlights because I didn’t want to stop. This was Week 4, D1 of [...]

P is for Progress

Good afternoon!!  I hope your day is  going well.  Mine started off on the right foot.  I weighed-in at 165.8 a whole .2 lbs. lighter than last week.   Not a big change but it’s a step in the right direction.  I’ve updated the Progress page. This morning I had a breakfast of two organic [...]

Just Food

Good morning!! Whew boy! My hamstrings are SORE!  Between weeding and running…I am feeling it today.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to make it to a yoga class tonight. I started the day off right this morning with some Corn Chex and 1% milk.  LOVE Chex!  I resisted putting sugar in my bowl. Mid-morning I had [...]

Relaxation

Hello! Just a quick post via the WordPress app on my phone to let you know I’m alive. VBS is over and we made it through without any disasters. I made a quick appearance at church this morning to wrap some stuff up and then headed out to do some errands. Somehow I ended up [...]

Bear With Me

Sorry I’ve been gone so long. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything good for you tonight. I’ve been going non-stop at work and then heading straight to church for Vacation Bible School. I am enjoying it, but I’ll be happy to get back in a routine and start (possibly) training for a sprint triathlon in August.  [...]

She’s a Brick…House

Hello!  I’ve had a busy day already, how about you?  First thing this morning I had a piece of whole wheat toast with peanut butter on it.  Betsy met me at the house and after making a put stop at the Farmer’s Market (peaches, cantaloupe, corn, watermelon, tomatoes) we headed out to the Dismal Swamp [...]

Sham-Rock On!!

Good morning!!  I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday!  Mine was good.  Busy, but good.  My mid-morning snack was some Mary’s Gone Crackers with Sabra Spinach and Artichoke hummus.  I ran out of crackers and ate half a whole wheat pita with the rest of the hummus.  I also had a Diet Coke. Lunch [...]

Groundhog day

It feels like that movie Groundhog Day because you’re going to see a lot of the same foods.  Josh made breakfast, again.  Eggs, bacon, biscuits, sausage, and some orange and apple slices.  It was sweet of him to make breakfast, but my goal is to get in my GHG this week and today is now [...]

November

It looks like November outside.  Gray, chilly, and drizzly. I headed over to the gym for my 11AM work out and tried to give it my best effort, but I was NOT feeling it.  We did… chest presses (3 sets of 12) regular squats with weight bar (3 sets of 10) toes out squats with [...]
