I’m not into the ‘new year, new me’ saying. It’s still me; but I just need to do better. Who doesn’t? I didn’t do the elliptical for a week. I knew I had a big event a few days ago that would test my walking abilities so I made sure I rested my new hip …
Today is four weeks since my hip was replaced. The first two weeks were pure hell. I cannot and will not sugar coat it. I got tired of people telling me hip is easier than knee. They aren’t me. From someone who was an avid runner and never stopped, this was excruciatingly difficult. The pain …
It has taken me a week to finally decide to talk about this. People tell me hip replacement isn’t as bad as knee replacement. STFU. It’s still a major joint. Quit fbombing downplaying it. I can handle pain. I refused all pain meds prior to surgery and pushed through. This pain was unbearable. For two …
If you’re an Alan Jackson fan or just know country music, than the title of this blog needs no other explanation. Welcome the mighty Midwest, home of HHH - hazy, hot, and humid. This girl will never complain. I’m solar-powered and need this for full functionality. (I learned that from one of my coworkers.) I …
Work has been crazy busy. I have been working on an excel file to the point I could barely hold my eyes open. Yesterday was beautiful so I thought I needed to separate and step out. I pulled my exhausted brain away from work and jumped outside. WOW. My smile was shining as bright as …
I have not written in a while. Work has been super busy and by the end of my day, I'm too tired to do any more on the computer. But today I am determined! Last week we received inches upon inches of snow. I hated every flake of it. Even though I work from home, …
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 …
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 …
Temps today was an ultimate fall day. Not a fan. Chilly. Damp. Depressing. BUT...today was almost like old times (minus me complaining about the weather). I met my old running partner for a walk. I enjoy how close we are to each other, just barely over a mile. She sent a text and asked to …
Today I met my old running partner to walk. I'm not sure why I still refer to Sara as my old running partner, but I do. Sara and I first met in 1997 when she was a transcriptionist for a cardiologist I worked for at the time. A nurse invited her to run with us …
