Sprained Thumb

Have you ever sprained your thumb opening the top on your shampoo? It hurts and doesn't really want to move. Should I write to the manufacturer of the shampoo suggesting that they might want to find a different container company? Hmmmm... depends how much worse my thumb gets. The start of a festive Thursday. VPX protein got me through 45 minutes on the ET and 30 minutes of a shoulder and ab workout. I went walking with Shane for about 38 minutes. We saw a lot of deer racing around this morning. Two were leaping from the MVCC parking lot [...]

Dirty Dishes, Sore Foot

It's not "Black Friday" is it? Today began with a painful walk with Shane. The heavy, wet snow was falling towards us as we walked down the Parkway. It was painful as it hit my eyes because I forgot my brimmed hat. The walk was cut short as we turned at the Zoo because, along with the eye pain, I was getting a blister on my right foot.

This morning I didn't run. My legs were kind of heavy and my heart wasn't into it so I did 40 minutes on the ET. 40 minutes [...]

Good Morning, It's Friday!

The bagel making went ok in regards to "form". The taste and texture wasn't right. I had to use Gluten Free Flour (baking mix to be precise) and didn't use enough sweetness. So, I'm still on a mission to make my Gingerbread Bagels. But they look pretty good, don't they? This morning was really mild outside, almost 50 degrees. Shane and I went for a nice walk down the Parkway. Here's a recap: We headed West on the Parkway and went around the Rec. Center. The chef at Valley View G.C. was already up and in [...]
