One moment I was happily running one of my usual routes and just hours later I was one of the “flooded”. On August 25th 2017 Hurricane Harvey arrived in my area of Texas. For two days life went on as it usually did during hurricanes and tropical storms in our area. We bought some shelf […]

Calorie counting, Weight Watcher Points, If It Fits Your Macros, Atkins, the list goes on and on with the ways we can categorize our food choices when we are trying to lose weight. I have dabbled in all of those systems, and then some. They all have pros and cons, people who swear by the […]
Currently, it has been over 2 months since I have stepped on a scale. I last weighed myself as I finished up a DietBet challenge around the ‘back to school’ time of year. In that two months I have taken care to monitor my diet (most of the time ::wink wink:: ) and I have […]
The last couple of weeks have really hit me like a ton of bricks. This past week I had a sudden urge to give yoga another try. Lo and behold my gym had a 7:00pm yoga class that worked out just in the time of need. Arriving 10 minutes into the class, I was worried […]
