Morning,
Are you like me? Tied to a computer for hours and hours a day?
If so, you know how difficult it is to actually force yourself to stop and stretch for even 5 minutes, let alone get some real exercise in. Right?
I’m happy to announce I’ve found a free alarm clock you can […]

Morning,
I’ll confess - I don’t catch The Biggest Loser much anymore, but oh do I so adore reading what’s been going on!
I came across a superb writeup over at The Biggest Loser4 - Episode 3. It began:
We open with a challenge this week - Whoever eats the most calories gets […]

Well!
After this morning’s excitement (which I’ll post at a later time), I decided to buckle down and create a most useful tool for myself - a custom search engine that returns excellent answers regarding diet and fitness from the most respected sources online.
It worked out so well I want to now share it!
Visit the […]

Need to pump iron, but you’re deskbound at the office?
One effective way to arm curl is to use your briefcase or your backpack as the weight you lift! I remember doing this myself when I was taking my kids to the Anime Conference - it was time for my usual bodyweight workouts […]

Well!
As you might remember, over the weekend the hubby and I started clearing out the garage for our town’s heavy item dropoff day.
Why stop there? This morning, we realized there were still bunches of rocks under the deck and living happily within unopportune places. So….instead of hiring someone to clean out the […]

Morning,
Well, this morning I was less alert than a chunk of concrete due to my lack of sleep, getting up at 3am, and massive writing frenzy. I had planned on getting to the gym to do my 45 minute fast cardio workout on the treadmill when my husband mentioned, gee! I can […]

Morning,
So! At 3am I was seized by an insane desire to write. Having learned never to ignore such impulses, I rolled out of bed, rolled down the hall, and bonked up smack against that necessity of life - my coffee maker. Soon afterwards, I was diligently at my computer, typing […]

Morning,
Life is utterly magnificent when you can look at yourself in a mirror and go OHMIGOSH I HAVE A WAIST AND IT’S LESS THAN MY HIPS AND WOWOWOWOWOWOW!
I experienced that zen moment yesterday evening; I attended my kendo (sword) class and for the first time, put on my hakuma (like a long skirt that […]

Good morning,
Did you hear about the Chinese gamer who died after a three-day session on the computer? Apparently “Police have ruled out the possibility of suicide,” the newspaper said, adding that “exhaustion” was the most likely cause of death.
Wow. Talk about obssessions!
While most of us probably use our computers with more […]

You know, back when I was el-grando mommo, I found exercising to be very difficult indeed. Hated it then (love it now, mind you, you simply can’t help to adore it when you feel your body’s reactions to pushing yourself - it’s really enjoyable) and would think of every excuse NOT to waddle […]
