2014
Super quick post…
No resolutions per se but I do have some goals.
- Lose another 2 sizes and 30+ pounds. I lost about 25 pounds and 2 sizes this past year. More than 30 pounds would be awesome (see #7). However, I am cool with little steps and maintaining the 60+ pounds I have already lost and kept off.

Today
Today…
It’s a new day. And it’s a good day.
Oh I hate the time change and it’s going to take time to recover. But both Ryne and I woke with some ease… so I am hoping that we can kick things up a notch.
I have been getting up a bit earlier and we stretch, run through his katas (for karate, he is a green belt) and then we pick a few cards from a ( Read more... ) -
Word for 2013 - Momentum
I still have last year’s Wordle posted above my desk and I feel the need to keep it there because I could still do some work on the snark at inappropriate moments and continue working on getting out of my head when my body hurts.
But this year is about moving forward. Engaging even more with life and committing to becoming more me. Momentum!

Fitness Quest - Winter 2012
This is a semi-repost...
This week, I will be starting another round of Whole30. I will be doing this round for 60 days with the Autoimmune Protocol or AIP.
What this means?
- Besides giving up sugar, dairy, grains, legumes; I will also be forgoing eggs, seeds, nuts & nightshades.
My first Whole30 was great, but I know I need to take ( Read more... ) -
Since I am feeling chatty…
I was ill for over a week with bronchitis around 2 weeks ago. With the illness (and the subsequent massive amounts of sleeping & total brain fog) my whole life got behind - home (especially cleaning), work and school. After this weekend and writing a past due paper, I should be just about caught up. w00t!
But what these 16 days of being laid low ( Read more... ) -
Had a bit of an epiphany last night…
Rob has commented a couple times over the many years we’ve been together “Where is that girl I dated…?”
Folks this is not a serious question, because we met while in an environment where appearances were very important to the company we kept. He has not put me down in any way, it’s just funny to look at old pictures and think, “Why on earth am I ( Read more... ) -
This weekend’s to do list
My life has been a tad insane… and I want to take things down several notches, so besides attending an Early Music concert with my mother on Friday night, here is what I am thinking of doing this weekend… could be all of this list or part of it, either way it will be great.
1. Sleep in
2. Knit at coffee shop
3. Attend event at Family ( Read more... ) -
Summer is almost here…
I know the solstice is a few weeks away but my last day of classes was yesterday, so I am in finals week. Was a rough semester, instead of As & Bs, I think I have a couple Cs. Way too much reading and I’ll will take my lumps. I could have rewritten a couple of papers for better grades. But do I take that time or sleep? Or better yet, enjoy the ( Read more... ) -

Gluten Free Cast Iron Skillet Apple Cake
After fiddling I have come up with a recipe I want to be able to recreate. I've decided to share it here.

Apples:
4 to 5 Apples - peeled, cored, and cut into six equal pieces. (I used a combination of Granny Smith & Honeycrisp)
2 sticks Butter

Back to School
I have been back for a bit over two weeks. The good news, we only missed one day due to Irene… The bad news, my office was without power for a week so I had to wait until after school started to track down (took me 2 days) the Bursar to get my refund check to buy books… making me about a week behind on a 200+ page a week reading load. If I can ( Read more... )
