As it gets cooler, the allure of dawn at the beach is greatly reduced. 45 degrees, even 55, is a bit nippy. I begin to find reasons excuses not to go. I don't even know where my winter clothes are. I can't find my walk-on-the-beach shoes. My chair's not in the car anymore. When really … Continue reading A Little Beach Time

Late LOL
I can't believe Love Our Lurkers was yesterday - is that even right? Yikes! I LOVE LOL, so I hate that I'm late. I have a bunch of new subscribers, but am never sure that more than a couple of them actually read here again. 🙂 But if you're out there I'd love to hear … Continue reading Late LOL

157 - apparently, my chunky little self has locked into that weight. I can't complain because I'm eating anything I want and not even moving much. Like I was chained to my desk. 3,392 average steps. Yep. That's my sad little step count. Not even half of my already low goal. Sigh. Don't you love … Continue reading FFF 11-16
FFF- 11-9
And just like that, it's Friday again! It's been a lovely week. Um, not necessarily a big step week or a low carb/sugar week, but a lovely week in lots of other ways. I took myself to the chiropractor. I took my time doing some tasks and did them with thought and care. I finished … Continue reading FFF- 11-9
Energy Clearing
I watched a really fun - webinar, I guess it was. Or meeting. Or something. Whatever you call it, it was an on-line event, and lots of fun. All about claiming your magic, or getting your magic back, or some such. I am all about getting my magic back now, and feeling really hopeful about … Continue reading Energy Clearing

Welcome to my health and fitness blog, only more like my non-health and non-fitness blog. I'm averaging 5,200 steps/day, which is an improvement on last week - but that's a low bar. My weight is back up a bit - I'm hitting between 155 and 157, which is heading in the wrong direction. So drat … Continue reading FFF – 11-2

4,862. That's my sad little average step count this week. Ugh. Not enough. I'm not taking enough steps, not drinking enough water. Not spending enough time on my classes or building my website. Not spending enough time on my regular job. Not writing enough. Not managing my diet well enough. Not sleeping enough. Not enough. … Continue reading FFF 10-26

And here we are again. Reporting in - step count is DOWN. 5,924. Weight is UP. I would like for that to be the other way around. Ok, and maybe my weight is not actually up, but hovering around 156, 157. Sigh. I feel kind of old today. When I look at the challenges ahead … Continue reading FFF 10-19
The Weekend
So much loveliness. First, there was date night. A glass of wine and appetizers on a rooftop bar overlooking the river. Then dinner with some of my favorite actually low-carb food. We had such a good time, and were so late getting back to the house that everyone was in bed. It was the perfect … Continue reading The Weekend

The theme for today's post is sleep - lovely, elusive, delightful, can't-get-enough-of-it sleep. “Even a soul submerged in sleep is hard at work and helps make something of the world.” ― Heraclitus, Fragments But not I. Wide awake since about 3:30 this morning. Sigh. “Insomnia is a variant of Tourette's--the waking brain races, sampling the … Continue reading FFF – 10-12
