Welcome, Mr. President. We’ve Been Waiting.

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” — Maria Robinson
Congratulations to President Barack Obama. We are not expecting miracles, but we are looking forward to a new ending.

To Heck with New Year’s Resolutions … Choose CHANGE.

I am not a big fan of “New Years’” resolutions. Instead, I am a believer in the idea that you make a resolution the moment you feel an inclination to make a change. There is no better time than now.
That’s why I love the First 30 Day’s Ultimate Guide to Resolutions. Read through the [...]

I Love My . . .

Today is Love Your Body Day, a campaign by the National Organization for Women Foundation that focuses on helping women to love what they see when they look in the mirror.
This may seem like a tough concept for some of us.  I mean, I know some people who truly do love their reflection (you know [...]

Make Sure to Play Hard in This Game of Life

The 30-Day Challenge posts will be back soon, but I feel a need to take a brief hiatus today and address the “pray” sector of this blog with a little more of a thought-provoking post. Enjoy!

As you have all witnessed throughout the last few posts, my family and I have been on vacation for the [...]

I’m Doing the Vacation Happy Dance!

V-ee are here! (That one was for my future father-in-law!)
I know I have already told you all about how fabulous this place is, but, seriously, it is really freaking fabulous.
This is my view every morning from the kitchen table . . .
Totally fabulous, right?
So, anyway, lets kick this Monday off with a little run-down of [...]

Eating, Working, Packing, Eating, Work Out, Eating . . . Whew!

OOOOOK……. so, where did I leave you last? I feel like I have done so many things since I blogged about my walk/run session last night.
First off — Last night’s snack. I was too hungry to wait until dinner, so I had some Fage Total 2 % Peach Greek-Style yogurt to hold me over. Mmmm [...]

Taking These Porcelain Babies for a Walk . . . or Run!

I just got back from what started as a walk, but quickly turned into a walk/run. You see, as I was getting ready to head outside today, I knew I didn’t want to go for a full-out run. I was feeling pretty tired and I could feel a ton of lactic acid running through my [...]

A Busy Bee Goes for A Run!

Whew! What a day … I sure was busy as a bee.
But I had a little help, — at least on the food front — so I can’t complain! Dan made some chicken salad for lunch and, let me tell you, it was so dang good! We had to use up some chicken we had, [...]

Things Are Looking Pretty Good …

So far, so good this morning. I have gotten lots of work done, and breakfast was nice and healthy. I didn’t get as much sleep as I would have liked — only about 5 1/2 hours — so I will have to work more on that tonight.
Breakfast was fairly simple again:
*3 egg whites (I use [...]

Time for a Change … Are You Up for It?

I don’t really even know where to begin this post, so I am just going to start and try to make it sound as coherent as possible.
The whole purpose of this blog was to initiate change; a huge change not only for me, but for the readers who follow it so faithfully.
We all are here [...]
