So I used the Hundred Pushup challenge and applied it to lower-body exercises on Monday. I did a grand total of 50: right leg lunges, left leg lunges, squats with weights and what I can hamstring “bows,” where you bend over and then flatten your back and use your hamstrings to bring yourself upright again.

A while back I signed up for the FlyLady site. If you haven’t seen it before, it’s pretty much a get-organized, get-your-house-clean site. She advocates doing a little bit every day, and taking weekends off. When I first signed up, I read that and thought, “Yeah, right. She hasn’t seen my house, and I can’t [...]

Well, I won yesterday, anyway. We’ll see about today at the end of the day.
Writing in my last post about walking that fine line between “food as fuel” and “food as comfort” turned out to be prescient. (OOooooohhhh, look at me with the big words! LOL) I’ve been working on my eating habits (again? still? [...]

So I read a couple of good posts today. Well, ok, more than a couple, but a couple that made me kind of stop and think. Well, more than a couple that made me stop and think, but a couple that I’m writing in reference to now! Geez! Do you have to be so literal? [...]

In my last post I wondered whether doing healthy things for the sake of weight loss was different from doing healthy things for the sake of health. I guess I should say that I KNOW it’s different – but I wonder what kind of a difference it is. In the comments Dan pointed out that [...]

The funny thing about not writing for a while is that when I start again for a few days after, I’m not sure what to write about. It’s like all those ideas and emotions, without anyplace to go, just spiral back down on themselves into my psyche and burrow in. And then it’s hard to [...]

This is too funny! Go here.
That’s kind of how I exercise. Only she tells it funnier.

Holy cow. That workload I said was doubling, tripling, maybe quadrupling? It’s not going to stop. I’m not exaggerating; they’re in the process of pushing through a promotion for me, which is great – but with a promotion comes a LOT more work.
I’ve also learned that when I don’t write, all that stress just builds [...]

Work has been INSANE this week. Seriously. Probably triple, and maybe even quadruple the usual load. Blogging to resume as soon as I have a spare minute.
