This week I am thinking about goals. I think about goals a lot, including fitness goals. It's easy to get stagnant. I have a couple of fitness goals I am working towards: running a sub nine minute mile and lose the extra weight I gained during the menopause time. I'm pretty disciplined already. However, I [...]
I think I've made it through the jet lag. It took me about a week. I won't be doing any travelling for a few months. I am glad for that. I love to travel, but I didn't like how the vacation went. Travel woes happen. I have had many trips that didn't go as planned. [...]
Now that we are back in the swing of things, I can get back to more of my recipes. I can also look back and give you the details of how our trip went. When I said it was fun, I lied. I wrote the last post ahead of time assuming the trip was going [...]
I finally have enough room for a new savory dish. This week I'm going back to something simple with tried and true recipe: rice and beans. If I want to keep it simple and nutritious, I do this. I'm keeping it simple because we got back from our trip and I don't want to be [...]
We've been travelling a bit over the past several days, so no recipe this week. I thought it might be good to talk about recovery. This topic came about because of becoming ill after I was working towards increasing my running speed. I knew that week I was becoming ill because my run that Monday [...]
This week has been busy. Tony has been working extra hours at our old house to get it ready. We were hoping to sell it, but his Mom may be moving there instead. It's up in the air right now. We're not sure what's going to happen. We have to be ready for any possibility. [...]
I have way too much food right now, so I'm skipping the recipe this week. I thought about topic for this week's post, and I remembered living through perimenopause and how it affected my workouts and keeping my weight in check. It was definitely a wild ride and very challenging indeed. What is perimenopause? According to Johns [...]
This week I have been doing some thinking about a subject that I find concerning. The reason that it has come to mind in the first place is because two women in our family are basically being dumped by the men in their lives because they don't want to care for them when they get sick. One [...]
This week I spent some time working on my car. It was a heater core flush. What can happen in a car over time is gunk gets trapped in the heater core and causes the heat to not work. Now, it could also be the thermostat, but a flush should do the trick. Essentially it's hooking up some clear [...]
I am FINALLY through the apples. Time for a savory dish. I've been so busy lately, I am going for something simple this week. Lots of things are happening at work all at once. Our old house is still coming along. Too many things. Before I get to the recipe I wanted to bring up something off topic: mask [...]
