Today I received the news of a death. I know we hear of it daily in the news, but this was closer to home and very very sad. It was the future father-in-law of my nephew. They are getting married in a little over a month. Of course this is devastating news for everyone concerned […]
Recently my daughter who made me an empty nester, came home for a visit. We always talk “nutrition” and about our at home workouts becos she knows my passion for it. She was excited becos she had met a weight loss, and more importantly, an inches lost goal. She told me how she had done […]
Someone has to get our lawn mowed. I’m an empty nester, so I have the time. This is a vlog on another empty nester workout – mowing! We live in the country and it’s a huge yard that takes up about 8 hours of our time to complete the task. And of course it’s a […]
Having a vegetable garden is a good thing in many ways. It yields fresh vegetables for healthy eating and makes for some different cardio workouts – especially when the sun is shining 🙂 – to name a couple. We finally got one of our vegetable gardens in and altho I can’t wait till harvest, I […]
I had the opportunity of harvesting more asparagus so I had to make another short video right away. Here is the recipe for the dish I referred to that I found on Pinterest. I had to do it from memory becos I had trouble getting to the original recipe. I’m kinda new to Pinterest, […]
I’m just practicing making videos – this time I wanted to go short – so this one is just under two minutes. Yay! lol You might laugh, but this isn’t the most comfortable task in all of this so give me a little break. haha This is about me harvesting wild asparagus – a treat! […]
I just wanted to add a little bit more information to the About Me Section, but in video form. I’m pretty nervous and that’s why I’m talking a bit slow here (it does go a little faster towards the end tho!) lol I do want to apologize that this is not a short vlog…but hey! […]
I’m a work out at home kinda gal so who would have thought I would be working out (half unexpectedly) at – of all places – the dentist? Yep, I went in for a consultation/diagnosis and knew I had to have one tooth pulled and maybe the second one too if it couldn’t be saved. […]
Lent is here (and almost over). Being Catholic, I practice the fast/abstinence-from-meat thing on Fridays during this time. I love seafood anyway so it’s not a very difficult thing for me. These are two of my favorite healthy low carb-lunches – the first since I’ve discovered multigrain bread (altho I don’t eat a lot of […]
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 […]
I used to think a Blog was like a Diary – a Journal if you will, where a person could write about anything they wanted and however often they wanted or had the time to. Since getting my Blog up, I have learned so much about this thing called blogging. It is basically for my […]
I hope that everyone had a very blessed Thankxgiving Day/weekend, filled with fun times visiting and interacting with your families and friends. What did you do? My husband’s family is HUGE (he has 8 siblings and all but one are grandparents so you can imagine our gatherings!) so we gathered for several hours at one […]
That’s what I thought over 10 years ago when I came to a crossroads in my life – “I can’t lose weight. I’m too old and this is just how it has to be”. Little did I know! In the 70’s and 80’s, I would try to work out at home. But due to lack […]
