Morning,
You know, I’ve been doing karate now for 2 weeks, stretching now for 3 weeks, weight lifting now for 1 week, P90x now for one week, and I’ve been fine and peachy and been healing really well.
Until.
Until today, when I decided to get a high picture of the karate kata class at the dojo. […]

Morning,
Well! As I had earlier reported, this morning I did the P90x Legs and Back DVD, along with Ab Ripper X. Great stuff, that….and by 9am, I was at the gym with my husband, ready to do my 55 minutes of treadmill cardio.
That went rather peachy, I must admit. Then I […]

Morning,
You know, I’m 43 years old.
And for many of my fellow moms, that’s considered to be, well, not exactly young.
Thing is, though, I’ve been realizing as I’ve pitted myself against my abilities and broke thru countless boundaries this year….age is but a number. You could be in your 70s but still have the […]

Morning,
Hope your holidays have been perfectly peachy!
In this season, the season of gift giving, one thing that always makes me quietly chuckle is this.
When you do take the time to give a special gift for someone…and that someone neglects to appreciate it….do you feel mad? Unappreciated?
Back in my earlier years, I know I […]

Morning all,
Well, I’m one thrilled individual!
Last year on this day, I was approximately 174 pounds or so on a 5′3.5″ frame. I say “approximately” because I couldn’t bear to weigh myself at that time…I only weighed myself several weeks later.
Today, I’m officially 129 pounds!
To say I’m psyched is a weeee bit of an […]

Morning,
Life is joyous.
Back in the summer, one of our karate senseis showed up a rather killer pushup that my kids named ‘habanero pushups’ (mainly because your muscles burn when you’ve completed them).
Actually, they’re simply pushups with your hands close by your sides so it works your triceps. Thing is, though, back then….I […]

Morning,
One of the most devastating things that can happen to your child is being on the receiving end of bullying. It can utterly decimate a child’s view of himself or herself…and lead to more and more difficulties down the road towards maturity.
Personally, I hate bullies…and would gladly take great pleasure in sending them […]

Morning,
Well, it’s almost 1am and I cannot sleep. There is a slight (oh so slight!) possibility that I might have overdone my physical therapy a weeeeee bit (about as “weeeee” as a redwood tree) early today.
Today, all I did (really!) was unassisted chinups thru the day (I can do 3 at a shot, […]

Morning,
I’ll be the first to admit it - I love math. Don’t have a natural knack for it, mind you, as a matter of fact, I’m not gifted in it whatsoever….but wow, I do adore math. Loved it so much I majored in it in college and founded the first Math […]

Morning,
Well, I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that I can now do 2 (count ‘em, two!) unassisted chinups! This is 1/2 more than my last record of 3 days ago. Yay!
My right thigh muscles are still somewhat weak from the surgery. So I’ve been spending some time stretching and today, decided to […]
