Attitude Adjustment

When I got home tonight, I felt pretty crappy. So I tossed a lasagna in the oven, blessed the good luck that had brought me home before ζach and the kids, and curled up on the couch. Feeling sluggish, bloated, gross — small wonder considering what I’ve been eating lately. I need a break. A break [...]
19 Great Walking Tunes

My physiotherapist has told me that she doesn’t see me running again for at least a year. Yup, a whole year. While this is suckful, it’s also a bit of a wakeup call. It’s the reason that “physio” made my list of S.M.A.R.T. goals, even after I turned them into H.A.P.P.Y. goals. And while I [...]

Back on the Wagon
About 10 days ago, I decided to get my rather substantial butt in gear and hop back on the weight-loss wagon. Or at least chase after it for a little while. Two things were different this time: 1) I didn’t tell anyone. 2) I actually stuck with it. Actually, #1 is not entirely true. I [...]
