Weight Loss

What a week!  We had our Chamber Annual Dinner on Wednesday night.  I stopped by the venue in the afternoon and didn’t see the 3 inch step at the entrance.  So with both arms full, I simply walked in — and flew across the room and fell on my left arm and right knee.  The…

I missed last week.  I fell off the horse.  Yet, here I am getting back on the horse. I really don’t like winter.  Or cold weather.  I love Iowa, and the people, but don’t like winter.  I’m one of those people who is affected by lack of sunshine and cold weather.  I just want to…

I‘m in Tucson.  It’s warm and sunny here.  I’m staying at an airbnb location, a small cottage in a great neighborhood.  There’s a bicycle I can use. I haven’t ridden a bike in a lot of years.  I know they say you just have to get on it and ride, it all comes back to…

It’s good to have habits.  I have my faux TRX straps hanging on my front door.  I do pushups and pullups twice a day, for a couple of minutes each, just by habit.  I go to Tuesday training with Leah, by habit.  I do squats in the shower, by habit.  While washing dishes, I do…

You know, life gets in the way.  Last Saturday I took my mom to the hospital.  She has pneumonia, COPD, Congestive Heart Failure and now she’s suffering from confusion.  Then there’s work – and a lot of it.  Good thing I love what I do! I made it to my personal training session this week.…
