This evening I took a walk in the rain. It was just overcast and a bit of a sprinkle when I left the house, but I knew from the clouds continuing to roll in that it would […]

I’ve been exercising 30 minutes a day, every day except Sundays, for more than 40 days now! This is a huge change for previously unathletic me, and I’ve learned a couple of things in the process. I thought I’d record my thoughts on the subject while I’m in a good mood so that […]

This morning I took two kids to the doctor with me so I could get a physical. It was an adventure! It was the first normal, healthy, no babies, regular doctor (not an OB) physical I’ve had in I don’t know how long. The doctor (someone I’d never seen before) seemed a little […]

I took the kids to see a local pediatrician this morning. It took me a long time to choose one and make an appointment, partly because I kept hoping I’d get someone to recommend a good one to me who takes our insurance. People have recommended a couple of good ones, but they don’t take […]

This morning marked 10 days in a row of exercising 30 minutes or more every day. As I hopped into the shower afterward, I thought to myself that taking a shower is so much nicer when I have to do it for a reason other than having been smeared with something by one my kids. […]

Wow, I have had a great week! I’m not boasting, really, but I have great cause to celebrate and happiness loves company as much as misery ever did.
As of today, I’ve exercised eight days in a row (excluding Sundays) for 30 minutes or more each time. I don’t think I’ve done that even […]

My favorite site of the day is nutritiondata.com. As you know, I’m counting carbohydrates right now with my current health goals, and sometimes that gets complicated. For example, I’m planning to make myself a burrito for lunch. There are a bunch of ingredients in a burrito, and some of them don’t have […]

The local weather report says we’re going to have severe thunderstorms today. I used to get really excited about an announcement like that, but ever since we had the tornados nearby last month I’ve been nervous about thunderstorms. I don’t mind the lightning or thunder or rain–it’s the possibility of a tornado that concerns me. […]

This morning I woke up feeling really good and happy and ready to get to work. I’m sorry to say that waking up that way has been the exception for me for a few weeks. It’s been harder than usual lately for me to get out of bed energetically, to be cheerful for any stretch of […]

Although I would say that my body is far from perfect and that the way I care for my body is nowhere close to ideal, I am grateful for my body. Yesterday I did an exercise video all the way through (a pretty big feat for me) and I noticed how good it feels to stretch and move […]
