In the spring, I posted about my workout at the dentist. You know, the one where my heart rate rocketed becos of my fear of the dentist? I go to the Dental College at a local University where I haven’t visited for about eleven years. I stopped going becos I had completed the work that […]

“Gramma, look at me!” “Hey Gramma, let’s play Hide & Seek.” “Can the cats come in the house, Gramma?” These are just a few of the things I heard one weekend when two of my grandsons, aged 9 and 4 came to spend the nite. We always have a good time…and they expect me to […]

One of the more important pieces of workout ‘equipment’ is a good pair of shoes, right? But I like to go barefoot…maybe it’s becos I have flat feet, or maybe it’s becos I was brought up on Maui and we used to go barefoot a lot…especially on the beach – or it could be the […]

Temptations can be inspirations. “How?” you ask. Well, it can be motivation for us rather than roadblocks or obstacles and can keep us moving forward so we don’t lose momentum on our fitness journeys.

I know I was desperate to do something different and get back into feeling healthy and not feel so out of shape. Fat and frumpy was NOT my style! Like I mentioned in another post, I didn’t know how to and had nearly accepted that I just can’t lose weight. That’s what started me on […]
