May 18, 2010

I saw this video on YouTube and LOVED it!
Now, I would probably fall right on my ‘behind’ but she sure seems to be having a fun time on the treadmill!
Sometimes just finding a different way to do the same thing is all you need to push yourself past a barrier when working out.

Today I am 47 years old.  On one hand, that kinda freaks me out, but on the other, I feel like I am holding up pretty good for 47.

This is my post from Saturday that got pre-empted for the 100th post.
I love the weekends.
I do the 9-5 (or 8-6 … whatever) everyday, so I get rather selfish about my weekends.  Being empty-nesters is really wonderful.  Don’t get me wrong, I miss the craziness of getting the kids where they needed to go on [...]

Before I start posting about my accomplishments this week, I want to take just a moment to share something that happened in my life and how I think it speaks to health and wellness on a level besides nutrition and exercise.
