Mobile Blogging from the Grand Canyon
So here I sit in a cabin built early in the last century, taking advantage of technology of early in this one. 3G @ the Grand Canyon!! Of course, as soon as I use the phone as my alarm clock tomorrow, off it goes for 9 days. Got to Vegas last night; joined a tour … Continue reading
Feelin’ Fine, Prairie Prep, Paleo Guests
As we’re in the homestretch before Lost Prairie, I’ve spent some time recently making sure I have enough clothes to make it through 10 days of Montana weather – hot in the daytime; chilly at night. It meant digging through my entire closet to see what fits these days, and hitting Target and Macy’s for … Continue reading
A Maintenance Month
I actually forgot to get on the scale the last day of June, so I did it today. Not surprisingly, June was pretty much a maintenance month (I lost 1/2 lb). I still feel like clothes are getting looser, but with more days off-plan, more drinking, and less exercise, it’s not surprising that I didn’t … Continue reading
Night and Day and Boogie Fever
It’s been a tough week. Even though it’s only a 3-day work week for me since the American Boogie at Davis is this weekend, my body has decided to be unkind. For the sake of not getting into TMI I’ll just say it’s been “women’s issues” and leave it at that. But yesterday was a … Continue reading
Busy Couple of Weeks
Haven’t posted much as it’s been a busy two weeks. After the holiday weekend, I spent Tuesday and Wednesday of last week in Pasadena and Burbank for work. Saturday, Doug & Wendy were in town with their 3 1/2 year old daughter (who I hadn’t seen since she was 9 months old). We’d originally planned … Continue reading
Nine Months from Today…
…. (oh hell no, not that!) we will be on a beautiful beach in Nicaragua enjoying the very first Boogie in Nicaragua. Brought to us by the same fabulous folks who have organized the Boogie in Belize (which has finally run its course as the landing area was developed away), this event will be held in an … Continue reading
May Wrapup
Tomorrow’s my monthly weigh-in day, but I thought I’d celebrate May’s accomplishments outside of weight loss (if there even is any).
A Bunch of Little Things
… that’s pretty much how my orthopedist described what’s going on in my right shoulder, which doesn’t surprise me all that much. Unlike my left shoulder a few years back, which had a clear injury (SLAP tear on the labrum), the exam and MRI on this one show just a bunch of piddly little things … Continue reading
Our First Real Estate Purchase
Okay, not really “real estate” per se, but we did buy an RV yesterday. A couple months ago we’d started to think “wouldn’t it be fun to go to Lost Prairie this year for the full 10 days?” but we also thought the only way we’d want to be there that long was if we … Continue reading
Recipe for Feeling Old, Fat, and Cranky …
If I ever have any doubt that the lifestyle choices I make (most) days have a profound impact on my overall well-being, I only need remember how I feel today. Old, fat, and cranky.
