I love caffeine. When one gets up at 4 am (!) to work out, one needs something more than just a will to get moving. I am getting more and more serious about healthy eating too, but even when I did the Ultimate Yogi 108 Day Challenge, I couldn’t give up caffeine. Come to think […]

Nothing much to say this week, since we just had two big snowstorms. The aftermath sure was pretty. Sunset over trees after snowstorm #1: Our snowy street after snowstorm #2: Pretty backyard scene with the pine tree and snow covered rose bush in front of it:

So I woke up this morning, feeling tired and little bit under the weather. The thought of exercise was the last thing on my mind. But, a little bit of guilt took over. So I decided to pull out a Leslie Sansone Walking DVD to do. This is an easy walking workout and it only […]

My favorite Christmas present was a Fitbit. I got the simplest model, the Fitbit Zip, but it suits me just fine. Of course, who am I kidding, eventually I will be getting the fancier models that even track your sleep. Note the cute little smiley face on the display. If the Fitbit is happy, then […]

I was over at my Mom’s house this past week, like I am every day. She gets a lot of catalogs. Since I had some time to kill, I started looking through the Vermont Country Store catalog. This brought me back in time for a number of reasons. First of all, Mr. Ken and I […]

I am deeply immersed in my volunteer consulting project. I am working more hours and much harder than I ever did when I was getting paid to work. But, you know what? I am having a blast and I wouldn’t change anything. Sure, I have some frustrating days, but on the whole, I have never […]
