Vitamin D is good for the soul
The Bay Area has been lucky enough to have some spectacular weather this week; with the best of it falling on the weekend (which hasn’t been the case the last couple of months). I’d considered making this weekend my “comeback weekend” but after realizing 1) my rig is out of date after today (needs a … Continue reading
I Can Relate
I didn’t wake up this morning thinking “I’m going to blog all about the dark days of being fat and food addicted” but here I am writing post #2. This morning’s was inspired by The Economist, this evening’s by a memoir that was in the pile of books on hold I picked up at the … Continue reading
Busy Weekend, Impromptu Road Trip
It’s been a busy few days – but good busy. Thursday night we headed into the city to Kokkari for Sean’s birthday dinner. Neither of us had been there, but I’d read up and the reviews were generally very strong, so I made reservations. I didn’t tell him where we were going, but I spent … Continue reading
One week down
Last Sunday I posted about my 2011 goals, which included “what are you going to do today?” and “what are you going to do this week?” mini-goals. Thought I’d check in on those two as the time has passed to meet those goals.
2011 Goals
Following up to Friday’s post, here’s my completion of the goals for 2011. Thanks to Mark’s Daily Apple for the template to use.
Franklin Time
As I sit here on a Sunday morning with a 17-lb cat warming my lap, I wonder about his sense of time. When I’ve been away a long time, does he truly understand that? How does his circadian rhythm, his sense of days and time, work?
Taking Stock

As I have lots of positive experience with lower-carbohydrate eating, I really enjoy the philosophy this blog embraces re: eating. I also like the philosophy re: exercise and movement – it dovetails nicely with a … Continue reading
Since Last I Wrote…
… we spent Monday over in Charlottesville. It was a cold, but clear day, so the drive over Afton Mountain was beautiful and non-treacherous (that is, as long as you kept both hands firmly on the wheel, as the crosswinds were blowing something fierce). We’d planned to meet my brother for lunch at Big Jim’s, … Continue reading
Brr…
… I think i forgot how cold real cold weather is. Not that it’s as cold here in the mid-Atlantic as it is in other parts of the country, but it’s getting down into the teens and twenties, and tomorrow’s forecast adds high winds on top of that. I was going to bring what I … Continue reading
Defying Gravity
In today’s physical therapy session I got to try something pretty cool – it’s called an Alter G treadmill, designed to allow you to ease your way back into running at 20-100% of your body weight. I moved between 75 and 80% and had to say – it’s a pretty cool contraption. After the jump … Continue reading
