Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Find more bodyweight exercises at Greatist.com I can absolutely CAN fit this in twice a week, right? Odd how I can create a new money saving habit, a new kitchen cleaning habit, and can push myself to run greater & greater distances on the weekends (even every day of a 3-day version), yet I am...

Fun money update: $62.78 as of last weekend Workout update: Oh, well..not doing so well mid-week still. Only did a 20 minute weight & ab workout one night. But..I ran 4 miles of hills on Saturday and then I ran ELEVEN miles on Sunday!! Yet another PR 🙂 It was double the fun because my... Continue Reading →
Heh - I was reaching for the alliteration to be complete in the title and just couldn't get there. New habit check in to start: $55 in the change kitty as of this weekend. However, work outs? Oh, utter fail. I was thrashed after the 10 mile run and the Wednesday half day run didn't... Continue Reading →

Well, it seems funny to speak of 'fear' when it came to my rather basic accomplishment I managed to achieve yesterday 🙂 For so many, making a video is easy. Second nature even. Hell, I...

We are on the Friday of week 2 of 2013 - so how are those new habits coming along? Lord knows I've got a couple of good excuses were I to not have chosen something so relatively easy to start off! It was precisely because of the Fumication this week and then Fibroid Eviction next... Continue Reading →
Think of little everyday tasks (habits) you do already without needing any impressive amount of motivation or inspiration – brush your teeth, shower, scoop your cat’s litter box or take your dog for a walk. If you miss a day, you don’t get overly bummed; you just pick it right back up. Those are all... Continue Reading →
December 30th was a day of off and on showers so I had to take a break from staining. I did take the time for a typical longer Sunday morning trail run. Couldn't join Renee in her 105 minute run at Lake Hodges, but I did throw my new Camelback on for a trial outing... Continue Reading →
I had to capture this moment last night - Amber actually sat in someone elses lap while mine was available on the same sofa! And? They are BOTH smiling! Doesn't get better than that does it? After 10 days of winter break, the first work week of 2011 has been survived - barely! Each... Continue Reading →
