I did it! I did it! I did it!

Can you tell I’m super excited? Now, let me tell you what I did …
I walked all the stairs at the Duke Football Stadium (what? Duke has a football team?). It’s a large stadium in a horseshoe shape and has those stairs that are close together. There’s a track going around the football field, and [...]

Not exactly according to plan

Yesterday didn’t go at all according to my grand scheme. I was not able to stay off the computer as much as I’d hoped — I had a work project to complete. I did refrain from reading blogs, and only checked email for ones regarding the project. Duck worked from home which always throws my [...]

Update: Niece, Work and Teeth

My Niece: Thank you for your prayers. She was not able to make it through her exam because of her headaches. She did find out this week that there is a tumor on her eye, but that it is treatable with medicine! What great news!
Work: Yesterday I posted that I am going to work my [...]

Sanity may not be overrated afterall

Yes, today I got some of my sanity back. I had a great morning even despite the fact Doodle did not want to get up and go to school. She wasn’t as combative as she could’ve been though and I know that’s a miracle from God. Both Duck and I have been praying for that [...]

Consistency is the key

My GBH (Genius Better Half) says that to me all the time — consistency is the key. Consistent work outs are better than not moving at all. Consistent speed down the road will get you there just as quick as speeding to stop. Well, I had decided that I would go workout on Mondays, Wednesdays [...]

YATIDF!

Yet Another Thing I Didn’t Finish!
Yep, I’ve officially blown the 30-day challenge. It’s actually quite often I start out something such as this with great excitement and anticipation — only to flop about halfway through it. I usually get distracted with other *stuff*. In this case it’s been distraction by sinus headaches (dern air pressure [...]

Wuhoo! Almost doing the happy dance!

I officially finished Week #3 of my working out routine at the gym. I’m almost doing the happy dance, but I’m a little tired Sore — but a good kind of sore! I wanted to share a few little tidbits from this past week.

Last night my Better Half says to me, “I had trouble [...]

I went. I did. I hurt.

I went to the gym. I did my workout. I hurt all over. Not from the workout necessarily although it was super hard to get motivated to go this morning. Last night I played in a really long, really tough ballgame which we lost (it was the championship game — well, no, I guess that [...]

Get the Spark going!

In my recent search on the internet for information on healthy foods (honest confession time: I’ve never had to pay attention to what I eat or count calories or fat or carbs or whatever), I’ve come across a really cool website SparkPeople. You fill out some information and it gives you diet suggestions, exercise suggestions, [...]

Wuhoo! Second Gear!

My “Better Half” said I actually looked like I made it into 2nd gear last night at my ball game! I’m so excited He said it was the best game he’s seen me have in a very, very long while. I haven’t been working out but just a week, and I could definitely tell [...]
