Ah, summer is finally here

June 18, 2014

No deep thoughts this week, just a photo montage of our favorite summer activity – kayaking. We have been out 8 times already this year. Oh, the sights we’ve seen! Why I love kayaking on the Charles River. 1. The pretty flowers. I’m not sure what these pretty flowering bushes are called, but the flowers […]

7 Productivity tips for your home office

June 11, 2014

More and more people are working from home these days, either because they’re self-employed or companies are trying to cut their real estate costs. Whatever the reason, there are lots of us. I recently attended a Meet-up for those who work from home. The whole day was a blast! This meet-up took place in the […]

It’s time for a break

April 23, 2014

I am still learning that it is important to take periodic breaks from whatever you are doing. I experience first hand the benefits of this with my exercise. When I take a rest day or a rest week, I come back to my workouts stronger and more determined than ever. That being said, I still […]

Starting over and over and over

April 2, 2014

One of my favorite quotes from yoga class is: “It’s not how many times you fall, but how many times you get back up again.” We all fall in life; that is part of being human. I try to live a healthy lifestyle, exercising and eating right. That being said, I do love my sugar. […]

A day in Nancy’s life

March 12, 2014

Not that my life is that interesting, but I thought you all might enjoying spending the day with me. 1. Wake up. Yes, you read that correctly, it’s 4:30 am. I guess you could say that I’m most definitely a morning person! 2. Eat a (healthy) breakfast. I need lots of fuel to get me […]

Doing the opposite

February 12, 2014

So can you go from this: to this? The answer is yes! How so you may wonder? It’s all in how you workout. I love lifting heavy weights because I feel so strong. In an effort to mix things up, I am now doing a Barre rotation. What the heck is barre? Think graceful ballerina […]

How to watch the Super Bowl

February 5, 2014

So the quintessential American past time is upon us. I am not sure how I feel about the fact that Americans are most associated with sports, but I’ll let that go for now. I don’t like football. There I said it. What is the purpose of giant men (can we say 300 pounds of muscle?) […]

Snowshoe bliss!

January 22, 2014

In honor of the latest big snowstorm, I just HAD to do another post about having fun in the snow. My attitude is that if I’m going to live where it snows, I might as well make the most of it. I don’t believe in complaining or even dwelling on those things which you can’t […]

Any New Year’s Resolutions?

January 1, 2014

Normally, I view resolutions as things to be broken. Then you feel guilty and all out of sorts. Who needs that? But, in my quest to be more in charge of my destiny, I’ve decided to be more accountable. What better way than to publicly declare my intentions? So here goes, my New Year’s Resolutions. […]

Letting go of all or nothing

December 18, 2013

It’s amazing the perspective you gain when you get older. At least that’s one positive thing about getting older! I have found that I have totally changed my view of the world from all or nothing to shades in between. I suppose the this all or nothing was necessary while I was attending a very […]
