A day of rest

Update: So Good Blog has a GREAT granola promo... check it out! Do you think you sound like yourself on an answering machine? A couple of days ago, Ted said there was a cake order on the answering machine. Pressing the message button, a voice began talking and my initial reaction was "its Stef!" Stefanie is my niece. Then, hearing the message content, it dawned on me, the message was the one I left earlier in the day for Ted. Wow! That REALLY didn't sound like me. I said to Ted: "THAT doesn't sound like me... Does THAT sound like [...]

A Yoga Reminder

The May 2009 issue of Yoga Journal arrived in the mail a few days ago. Last night, the opportunity was available to read through one of my favorite magazines. Although there is a yoga room set up downstairs in our home, I can not boast being a faithful Yoga practitioner.

Eyes wide shut

As usual, I lumbered out of bed and down stairs I went to grab a get-me-going shake. I watched "How To Boil Water" while running 4 on the T/M. They were making Bolonaise Sauce with Garlic-Parley Baguette and Arugula salad. It inspired me to combine a recipe using red sauce yesterday with what I saw this morning. Come back tonight to see the results of this (hopefully) great inspiration. As for the rest of the work out, you'd think running, if not watching something interesting on TV would've woken me up. Apparently not because I set up the hack squat [...]
