Change your schedule and change your life

March 18, 2015

They say, whoever “they” are, that changing your environment can do wonders for your psyche and creativity. While I wish I could be sitting on a nice sunny beach with Mr. Ken, this is not possible right now. I have been staying over my mother’s house, helping her out since she fell. It was kind […]

Mystery solved for What is it

March 4, 2015

I know you all have been sitting at the edge of your seats, wanting to know the answer to last week’s post, What is it? One answer could be these cute little boxes make perfect resting spots for Peeps. M&Ms also fit perfectly into them as well. Alas, these containers are part of Beachbody’s 21 […]

What is it?

February 25, 2015

It’s time for another puzzle. What do you think these things are? HINT: The number 21 is involved. Note to my friend Susan – you can’t guess since you already know. You were the person who introduced me to these. 🙂 Photograph is thanks to Mr. Ken, photographer extraordinaire.

Now THAT’S great marketing

February 18, 2015

As we are having our 4th big snowstorm in two weeks, I am really, really enjoying my Jessica Smith workouts. Jessica lives and films her workouts in Florida. It is so nice to see palm trees, pretty water views, boats and pelicans. I can pretend that I am somewhere warm. Maybe I should write a […]

10 minute rant

January 14, 2015

Or rather, a rant about 10 minutes. If you’ve read my blog posts, you know that I am obsessed, er interested, in fitness. I love to keep up with the latest trends. Well the latest fitness trend is for short workouts. Short, as in 10 minutes. I’m all for 10 minute breaks throughout the day. […]

Afraid to be alone

January 7, 2015

I sit here on a grey, rainy Christmas Eve afternoon, listening to some beautiful classical Christmas music on the Pandora channel. My favorite hymn is “Oh Holy Night.” I get goosebumps whenever I hear this song. I am listening to Christmas music while typing on the computer. This can be fine, but it got me […]

Doors closing and opening

December 17, 2014

Believe it or not, I didn’t spend much time with my new smartphone this week, so I don’t have any tales to tell. I wanted to post some pictures I had taken with the phone, but I got intimidated by the confusing directions, so the pictures will have to wait. I have been busy finishing […]

What really happens in barre class

November 5, 2014

I made it through my first live barre class and I was excited to go back for more. Here’s what really happens in a barre class. 1. Time stands still. I am most definitely a morning person, but the morning classes were full, so I had to bite the bullet and take an evening class. […]

That is barre NOT bar. For those of you who aren’t as obsessed, er interested in barre, you may not know what it is. Barre is a combination of ballet, yoga, pilates and stretching. It is named after the ballet barre that is used in most exercises. So I went to my first live barre […]

How do you know when it’s time for a change?

September 17, 2014

Change is hard and it is scary. But it can also be exhilarating. I got to thinking about this as I change my exercise rotation. I’ve had a very successful run at doing barre (ballet-type) exercises. I think it’s time for a change though and so I’ve been doing P90X3. (Which stands for Power 90 […]
