Just do it!

July 19, 2017

This is my favorite slogan. It can apply to so many things in life, from exercising to facing unpleasant tasks. It’s funny since it is so easy for me to apply this to my exercise. I’m really good at making myself exercise, even if I don’t feel like it. I know that I will feel […]

Rocks under water

Comments Off on Rocks under water

We are off to a good start with our kayaking this year. The weather has been great and the temperatures very comfortable. The cooler temperatures are a very good thing since I wear long sleeved SPF-50 shirts and they can be pretty uncomfortable when it gets hotter. We’ve have been mainly kayaking on the Charles […]

Nancy’s boot camp adventure

June 28, 2017

It all started way back in high school. I took one of those career/skills tests and my results came back: Your ideal career would be a. Accountant b. Physical Education teacher c. Army Drill Sergeant. Ever since then I have been fascinated by boot camp workouts. If you ask Mr. Ken, he may also say […]

Take a step back

June 21, 2017

So off I went to the dentist to get a filling fixed. The dentist is a talkative fellow. I guess he has to be so he can distract his patients from the torture, er discomfort of what he is doing. All of a sudden he stops talking and goes, “Mmmmm.” I have learned that when […]

Some of my favorite summer things

June 14, 2017

The lazy days of summer are upon us. I got to thinking about the summer and how I love it. Here’s why I love summer: 1. Many hours of daylight. I am a morning person and I love to exercise in the morning. That being said, it sure is hard to get up at 4:30 […]

Nancy and Ken’s excellent New Jersey adventure

Yes, one can have a fun and excellent adventure in New Jersey. Mr. Ken and I were in the Garden State this past weekend for a family wedding. New Jersey holds a special place in my heart because a. I was born there and b. I first met Mr. Ken there. So the story of […]

Welcome to February

February 15, 2017

Here in New England, we have been lucky this winter. That is until last week, when a series of snowstorms started. Here’s how things looked on Thursday. These aren’t the clearest pictures, but there was no way I was going to stand outside and take pictures. These were all taken through the window. The frontyard. […]

Where there’s a will, there’s a way

December 14, 2016

Day by day my foot is getting better and healing. I am now able to hobble around without crutches and without much pain. I am still trying to be a model patient though and not overdo things. I am excited to report I have found a good setup in my exercise room. Note the cool […]

The aftermath

December 7, 2016

Well, so far so good with the foot surgery. I was pretty uncomfortable over the weekend, but the pain pills made me so sleepy that it is all a blur. I actually didn’t find it all that hard to sit still. Today I awoke and had no pain, yay! I am able to move around […]

Forced inactivity – ack!

November 30, 2016

As my December 2 foot surgery looms, I am getting prepared for a long period of forced inactivity. As my doctor likes to say, “For the next several weeks, you will be living in a triangle consisting of the sofa, the bathroom and your bed.” For someone who loves to exercise for at least an […]
