Food Journey

This morning driving to Koko for a cardio and yoga session, I had a great opening line for this post, but now, back at home, after having my banana pudding mid-morning snack, this is the best I could do:

Hey, it encouraged me on this recent food journey. I’m ready to pack up my . . . → Read More: Food Journey

Y is for Yoga

Once again it’s time for the Fun Friday A 2 Z Blog Hop. (And I’m getting better – I’m doing it on Saturday instead of Sunday!) This week’s letter is Y.

Obviously and totally of course, for me, Y is for Yoga. Yoga is the way to put the mind, body and spirit together. I . . . → Read More: Y is for Yoga

I Did It!

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to focus on what I was doing during my strength workouts and get that perfect workout. January 9 and one resolution accomplished already! I did it! This morning I got my first perfect workout:

Moving Meditations

I know. You’re saying how can you move and meditate at the same time? Didn’t you say you sat in a trance like state for thirty minutes while doing the Silent Journey meditations?

I Love My Sister!

My sister knows just when to say (send) the right thing at the right time! I have been really focused on my fitness goals for 2014. (Earn that blue lanyard!)

In a recent email a friend asked me if I still liked working after four months. Instead of just replying with a quick “Yes! I love it!” I decided to give the question more merit.

Camel Pose – A New “Take”

This morning I had a fabulous workout at the Mashpee Koko Fit Club. No – I did not get my perfect workout, but I did lift very close to 7000 pounds for the first time.

Embracing Discomfort

Monday I was on the elliptical at fit club, just reaching the end of my cardio program. The manager was there and he laughed and said, “What? Are you tired?” Probably in reaction to the grimace on my face.

I said, “No. This is me embracing discomfort.”

In order to understand my answer you . . . → Read More: Embracing Discomfort

S is for Stillness

Once again it’s time for the A-Z blog hop. This week’s letter is S. There are a ton of words that begin with the letter S, but the most important one to me is “stillness”. In a four year struggle over love, loss, and letting go, being still inside is the most valuable lesson I . . . → Read More: S is for Stillness
