It’s Not A Feeling

Today I learned something about exercise that I shared with some of the fit club members tonight. I was working and a member came in about 6:30 and said, “Oh I’m so tired but I came anyway. I so didn’t feel like coming.” I told her that’s how I will feel when my shift ends . . . → Read More: It’s Not A Feeling

No Time To Waste

Today I had to get up early to be at work way up in Orleans at 9 am. If you told me two months ago I’d be doing this, I would’ve told you you’re crazy – no way would I get up at 6 am on a Saturday to leave at 8 to be at . . . → Read More: No Time To Waste

How Quickly We Fall

I jumped right into the shower as soon as I got home from work tonight. I started remembering how after school and working out I used to get home at 6 pm and do the same thing when we lived on Darlene Drive in New York. My husband and his mom would always have to . . . → Read More: How Quickly We Fall

Adding Meaning

I follow my school district on Facebook and today there was a great quote on there by Joshua Marine:

‘Rounding The Bend

Currently I’m reading Return To Sullivan’s Island (Lowcountry Tales) by Dorothea Benton Frank. Her writing is not as deep and heart touching as Kristin Hannah, but the books flow with a great storyline. Last night I came across two thoughts that, today, on the morning of my sixtieth birthday, intersected. One was that two days . . . → Read More: ‘Rounding The Bend

Kept From Bikram

My schedule for the last three weeks and the next two, kept me from doing any Bikram yoga classes. I was out of town for most of that time and there were no studios within reach. The weeks I spend up here in Arlington are only doable exercise wise because I have a Koko Fit . . . → Read More: Kept From Bikram

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:
