One of the pleasures of early morning is reading the mail from SparkPeople. Sometimes the mailers highlight articles I've already read, but frequently I get to see older articles I missed because I wasn't here when they were first published. ... Read more

So I'm supposed to do the 6 minute butt workout several times a day, plan and track my meals, drink water, forgo coffee, sleep 8 hours, do 30 minutes of cardio, QuickFire throughout the day, journal or blog, de-clutter, and......I'm sure I've fo... Read more

Just a quick note to say I'm back and ready to rock and roll! I've been away for a week: business trip followed by trip to my mom's house to see what needs to be done there. Both my brothers joined me there for a short time, and the predicta... Read more

OK, I'm a believer now. I haven't lost a whole lot of weight, but seven pounds on my frame makes a real difference. I'm not focused on weight loss at this point, but getting fit. This morning I put on a pair of pants I hadn't worn since e... Read more

I'm in St. Louis visiting my eldest daughter and her family. She celebrated a birthday Friday, and Saturday night we went to a gala organized by her congregation. The senior rabbi position is opening up, and my daughter will likely apply, ... Read more

I'm the executor of my mother's estate. I had hoped the process could be handled without acrimony. I still have memories of the feud between my mother and her sisters after my grandmother's death. Well, yesterday was filled with worried e... Read more

One of the dangers of reading blogs is being inspired and thinking you can do it all. I kept reading all these blogs about the Couch to 5k program, and I wondered if I could do that. Folks seemed to be burning a lot of calories and succeeding ... Read more

Driving home from the airport yesterday, I was thinking that I was glad I'd cut back on the water earlier in the afternoon as I was stuck in traffic and needed a bathroom break. And this led me to thinking about my last diet soda, and I don't e... Read more

First and foremost, thank you to my Spark friends for their thoughtful comments. Each and every one of you gave me something to think about. And as I read each one's thoughts, I realize again why you ARE my friends. I don't need to make a... Read more

When I returned to dating after many years of being married, I had no idea how to start or where to meet someone. So I turned to online dating, and I have to say that it's been a good experience. I have met a lot of lovely people - men and wom... Read more

My house is much too empty. After a couple of days of total mayhem, it's back to just us chickens. One daughter, one dog, one cat, five rats, and the SO who is here until Wednesday. (just deleted the rest of this blog.....) No whining!... Read more
Emotionally charged

I'm quite the yoyo emotionally these days. I have a great day, and then find myself very fragile emotionally. Interesting dreams last night - the traditional grieving issues. I love that I let myself know what's going on through dreams. On... Read more

I wasn't feeling too great this morning, but dragged myself off to the gym anyway since there's a 9 am Boost class I wanted to attend. It's billed as strength training, but on any given Sunday it could also kick butt from a cardio standpoint. ... Read more
