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 […]

This week’s Ponytail Challenge is called “Awesome Me” and goes like this:
In three places, (IE: a note in your pocket, your blog & comments here), you must list 5 things good about yourself.
Now, be serious! 5 real things- sincerely wonderful things about yourself.
If you notice yourself comparing; stop. Take a deep breath and review your […]

Last week the Ponytail Challenge was to smell good, and I do! It’s challenging for me to find yummy-smelling things that don’t make my eyes itchy and my nose stuffy (allergies, I think), and it’s tough to smell good when you change diapers several times a day, but it’s been a really fun challenge for […]

Three weeks into practicing my healthy living goals, and I’ve lost 10 pounds! I didn’t make any weight loss goals because the number on the scale isn’t something I could control, but what a nice side-effect! My clothes fit a little more loosely, I’ve been happier, and I have more energy than before. Perhaps more […]

In college I took a class where we talked about how our bodies and minds are connected. Sounds obvious, right? Your mind tells your body what to do, and it does it. Your body sends signals to your mind to tell it what’s going on in the world and your mind makes decisions about how […]

Today is my week-mark for the Ponytail Challenge I mentioned in an earlier post. I went seven whole days (in a row) with no ponytails!!! Okay, I did wear a ponytail while working out, but it came out immediately afterward. I did a lot of headbands, and a couple of braids, and a couple of […]

I just put up a poll asking how often people shave their legs. I’m oddly interested in this rather personal subject, as my answer to the question has evolved over time and will probably continue changing.
I used to dislike shaving my legs. I cut myself pretty badly the first couple of times I shaved my […]

Here’s a new, fun, productive thing to participate in: The Ponytail Challenge. I saw a posting about it on someone else’s blog and was a little skeptical at first. The blog offers humor and small self-improvement oriented challenges to those women who may be in the category of having let themselves go. […]

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 […]

As is often the case when one begins working on a new goal, I’m already facing opposition to my plans. I expected difficulties, but not quite so soon! I woke up this morning with a yucky sore throat, a post-nasal drip, a slight cough, and a bad attitude. I didn’t get up […]
