A great NFL game was coming on today. Sara asked if I wanted to do elliptical with her. YES! My weekly workout will still happen. With the holidays approaching (and more eating, of course), I thought I better kick it a little harder today. It's always important to eat a balanced meal, 80% healthy, and …

Holding On…
This insane year is only 18 days from reaching its end. The entire world can agree how awful it's been. This has been the year of Murphy's Law. Bad news after bad news. This blog is not a resolution, but more of a realization. As I took my Gracie Mae for a walk today, I …
Beer Cheese Soup – Say Whaaat?!
My friend, Sara, knows how much I love cooking and trying new recipes. She sent me a recipe for beer cheese soup. I looked it over. Seriously....how can you go wrong with beer and cheese! Hello...I love cheese. And beer. I'm like SCJ Kavanaugh, "I like beer." I just went to the store this week …
Eggcellent Detox
Are you still coming out of your Thanksgiving coma? I know I have been lazy in my eating. Woke up today with a "get your poopoo together" attitude. I don't necessarily claim to be on a keto diet. I'm a numbers person. I count calories, rather than just not eating something in particular, e.g. carbs. …
My Hips My Hips My Hips
I'm so excited I have to write another blog. The elliptical has truly been a huge turnaround. Sara invited me to go to her gym again today. She wanted to work off some of her thanksgiving dinner. How many of us ate too much on Thanksgiving and feel a little guilty today? Me. Me. Me. …
Don’t Be A Turkey Today
I know tomorrow in America is Thanksgiving. We love to indulge in all the tasty, carb-loaded fixins', as we call it around these parts. We tend to allow our normal healthy selves to cheat on this day. It is a day to be thankful for all we have, so why not eat all we want. …
A Different Way…
I have really been battling hip pain trying to run or walk. Makes me beyond frustrated. Then the weather is turning colder and days are shorter. Just a double whammy of negativity. I'm starting to get a little lazy in my eating. That's a big no no. It has taken me eight months to get …
Take Right Hip Out
This is a record for me...three days in a row of writing blogs. AND I love I have over 200 followers. WOW. I hope you all read my boring blogs! BUT...this one is not a food blog. I hope this doesn't disappoint my food blog followers. I planned to stay in my dog jammies all …
To Walk or Not To Walk
Today was amazingly perfect weather for November. Not a cloud in the sky. I could not wait to get out and take advantage of this beautiful day. I met Sara for a walk. Today was a non-political, non-issue-solving kind of walk. We only talked about entertainment: books, movies, TV shows. The weather was too beautiful …
Life Changes
I can't believe I woke up today and it's already November. The positive side is only two months left of 2020 hell. Will 2021 be better or will we still be living the nightmare felt around the world? Literally...only time will tell. As time keeps chugging along, so do the seasons. Living in the midwest, …
