Pain, pain, go away.

Seriously, WTF? Ugh. Ok, for the record – today was a pretty good day. Besides the fact that I was so exhausted when my alarm went off this morning I simply could NOT get up and get going to save my life. Nope, I just could not do it. Even though I went to bed…… Continue reading Pain, pain, go away.

A Change in Plan

Yesterday I left work early to go to see my surgeon and discuss my health issues. My GP thought they were directly related to my surgery, so when the problems got worse, I decided it was time to pay the doctor that saved my life a visit. I waited a long time. And then was…… Continue reading A Change in Plan

Friday

Happy Friday, everyone. I don’t know about you but it has seemed like a rather long week to me! I am happy that today is Friday. Yesterday’s food was a bit of an experiment. I’ve been feeling a little not so good lately, on and off for about a month. Yesterday I tried an experiment.…… Continue reading Friday

A Great Lunch…

During that hour and a half I did the following: Made Mark Bittman’s pasta fagioli soup (one of my favorite winter meals!) (This includes chopping onions [and crying of course], a couple of cloves of garlic, parsley,…… Continue reading A Great Lunch…

The Glory Week is Over….

Ok, so last week I tried to get my butt back in gear after the half marathon. There were so many things I had to do at work and after work, I just could not seem to find the time to go to the gym unless it was 9 o’clock at night, and last week…… Continue reading The Glory Week is Over….

…and the blah continues

Ugh! What is wrong with me?? I had every intention on going to the gym tonight. I had a long day, but lots of people have long days. After getting home from my commute (I was thrilled [no, not really] to get soaked walking to the bus, on my way to the train home tonight)…… Continue reading …and the blah continues

Post Race Recovery

Hi All: Sorry I have been away for a couple of days. Not too much to report, but I have survived the last couple of days since the half marathon. I took Monday off from work to recover. My knees were sore, and my quads were not exactly thrilled with me on Monday. But all…… Continue reading Post Race Recovery

My First Half Marathon

I have been a bit MIA lately, and now I can tell you why. The past week I have been preparing for my first half marathon, and I was not in the best of moods, I must admit. I did not want to write anything about the half marathon before it happened because I was…… Continue reading My First Half Marathon
