Glutton For Gluten

This morning I received a timely text from my brother that made me think a bit. He asked me about going gluten-free, is it hard? Is it a good thing to do? I impulsively answered him because at the time I was headed to fit club, feeling very fatigued, bloated, fat, etc. from the week . . . → Read More: Glutton For Gluten

Tonight.

Just serious appreciation for the friends and family here this week around the fire pit. It’s 6 pm and the kids are just migrating back from the beach. The backyard is cool and breezy. Dinner is simmering on the grill. There’s a Skinny Girl Margarita to my right.

Today I didn’t even attempt the . . . → Read More: Tonight.

Deluded

My daughter recently cleaned out her clothes and have me two bags of things she thought I might like. This, in turn, caused me to clean out my clothes.

My first step was to try things on and decide if I’d ever wear it again. My clothes are more than four years old so . . . → Read More: Deluded

The Landscape of Aging

The summer cardio workouts are out at Koko Fit Club. Summer Hike is already my favorite. While I’m “hiking” on the elliptical Michael Wood fitness trainer is talking to me. Today he started with this quote:

Pink Wine

Ten years ago I was introduced to wine. I didn’t understand wine. It didn’t taste very good, so my husband suggested I try white zin.

Mind you, these are by far the best cookies you have EVER tasted in your entire life, so I was extremely excited. . . . → Read More: The Cookie Saga

Sushi Is Like Skiing

Sushi is like skiing. Sushi is also like golfing. Sushi is not like bowling. This I realized yesterday when I suggested, “Dinner?” to a friend. She came back with, “Sushi?” “Uh…no,” I replied.

The Beauty Shines Through!

In regard to last night’s beautiful Bikram disaster (yesterday’s post), I have to say I found the beauty of that disastrous class when I woke up this morning. I woke up in a great frame of mind with lots of energy. It was fit club day and I couldn’t wait to get there.

A Rare Day

Today’s message from the universe was one of simplicity. My NY daughter and I rarely get to spend a day together here in NY. Today she had to shop for a complete outfit to wear to a wedding next weekend and she asked me to go along. Finding a dress and shoes and jewelry was . . . → Read More: A Rare Day

Spinach & Smoke

Most of us reading this post remember Popeye’s torrid food affair with spinach. Lately I’m having my own food fascination with the green leaves, except mine is in the form of Panera Bread’s new spinach power salad. It is made with baby spinach leaves, hard boiled eggs, mushrooms, bacon bits, and crunchy onions and served . . . → Read More: Spinach & Smoke
