Still Kicking and sewing
Whew! That was a loooong break. The big project is done… the yearbook … or at least off to the printer. Then I will just need to get it all into owners hands and I’ll really be done. I got to work with a lot of great people on this but I am glad it [...]
Monday Musings: talents
Wow! January flew by. I’m glad though. January is usually a stressful month. Goal-wise things went very well. Stretching and karate are becoming good habits. Budgeting is… well I’m working on it and getting better. Yearbook is the same. I’m still trying to come up with a good focus topic for the year (dunno why [...]

Monday Musings: Week 2 Results & Week 3 Goals
Wow! Got sucked into the kitchen this weekend. Which is good cuz we have easy meals for the week but bad cuz I didn’t meet my other goals. But it won’t do me any good to beat myself up over that. Right? Right! So I’m gonna celebrate the successes and plan to overcome the rest. [...]

Monday Musings: Candelight & Spreadsheets
Couple of pretty cool things happened last week that made me smile… Thing the first… Last week as part of our holiday countdown we had a candle light dinner as a family. The first one. The food (was not fancy) but it seemed to me the talk was freer and less hurried. Don’t get me [...]

Monday Musings
Karate: learned (in the process of teaching) a new take on a very dull bo kata. Bo ichi. Its a preparatory kata. Not even considered “real” and so usually not enjoyed. But one of our sensei showed me (and the kids I was teaching) the trick of immediately “chambering” after each move. What you end [...]

First Day of the Year!
Make-ahead Monday has been sorta preempted by our first day of the SCHOOL year. (but 32 jars of dill pickles were canned over the weekend and extra Sesame Chicken was made today in the crock.) This year, instead of doing a daily check list, we’re doing a weekly one. Both kids. I’m going to keep [...]

Rocky Week
No C5k workouts this week. Did stretches and yoga but things were getting worse. My left leg felt like it was burning… even when lying down. It had been a month since coming off the Neurontin. And I was still needing up to 2400mg of ibuprofen a day to keep the pain manageable. So I [...]

Family Yoga and taking it slow.
Woke up Thursday morning pretty gimpy and sore. The sore is good, the gimpy not so much. The kids asked for yoga again so we did Gaiam’s Family Yoga DVD. The kids had fun doing back bends and being upside down. I had intended to do a third C5k session on Friday but decided against [...]

C5k W1D2: the good, the bad and yoga
Two workouts in one week! Went to the gym yesterday. Steve had a lot to say about it today. Lots of advil needed to keep me upright. Second session of a.m. yoga with the kids today. Boggles that running does not hurt but yoga (and just about everything else) does. ?????? Even tried some karate [...]
