I take a lot of pictures of myself. It’s not all narcissism, it’s a study. I’m interested in seeing the changes and making comparisons. It’s been interesting, VERY interesting. What is most surprising, though, is that as the weeks and months go by, I’m liking fewer and fewer of my face pictures. I don’t see … [Read more…]
Sunshine. We are getting a real dose of it right now, and usually we don’t have this much. The result? We are staying outside until all hours playing then dropping into bed exhausted and crashing to sleep. It’s a good feeling, but one that doesn’t lend itself to keeping a blog! *** We headed out … [Read more…]
We did it! We headed up the mountain, past the first level, past the midpoint level and all the way to the top to the difficult, high level! We did it! All totaled, we put about 7 miles under our Lj feet, including the hike in from the car. Most importantly, though, we had a … [Read more…]

I posted this to Facebook today with the caption: “One of the people in this picture hit the milestone of losing one hundred pounds today. The other one inspired her to do it.”
Ignore my cankles and desperate need of a pedicure, and instead focus on that number. That, my friends, is 1.6 pounds away from losing a clean hundred. *** Bradley and I tore it up to the tune of 3 miles in 34 minutes today. It was sunny and beautiful, and the weather is supposed to … [Read more…]
I was at work today talking to a friend who, yesterday, I told to make some goals. She did. Smart goals. Goals that were meaningful and made sense for her. Then she asked me what my goals were. Drink water and eat more whole grains. That’s I what I came up with. Nothing shameful about … [Read more…]
So… This was the good shot from the set. No, you may NOT see the others. I just snapped them real quick as we were trotting along, that magnificent, beautiful husband and I, and I didn’t bother to see if one was better than the rest. Oh well. But my husband? Meow. We did 3.6 … [Read more…]
After our successful hiking adventure the other day, we Lj’s decided to hit the trail again before we forgot what it felt like to have The grit under our feet and the tree boughs overhead. We were planning to head to the mountains to gain some altitude, but by the time we rolled outta bed … [Read more…]
