Magical

Ok, yesterday I couldn’t find words to describe my daughter’s wedding. Now, two days later, I realized I walked around all night long saying it was magical. Magical is definitely the word.

The magic began when “All Of Me” began playing as I waited on my father’s arm to be walked down the aisle. I . . . → Read More: Magical

Happy Mother’s Day

I just read a blog post by Lisa Jakub entitled Mom, Mom’s Mom, Me Under One Roof. It was so well-written and spoke so close to my own truths, I just had to use it to celebrate Mother’s Day. I bring it to you today because I already celebrated Mother’s Day with my husband, my . . . → Read More: Happy Mother’s Day

Safe, Expedient, and Thin

….was my Sparkpeople Quote of the day. The words safe, expedient, and thin stood out to me. When considering the quality of life I provide for myself, those words scare me. Living a safe, expedient, and thin life scares me. It’s an easy trap to fall into. Days go by. You do what you . . . → Read More: Safe, Expedient, and Thin

I Never Knew That

Eleven years ago I began strength training when I got my diagnosis of severe osteoporosis. The doctor told me the medicine would stop the bone loss, but the only way to reverse it was to put weight on my bones. So, one who never exercised in her entire life, made her way to the gym . . . → Read More: I Never Knew That

Potential

This morning in my Koko workout the chest press exercise said put on 50 pounds. That went well. I’ve been doing 50 for awhile now. Then it came around again in the second rotation. This time it said 60 pounds. I felt my face make a what! expression. A little fear surged through me. A . . . → Read More: Potential

In The Zone

Another New Year’s resolution accomplished. I’m in my Koko Fit Zone. My e-BMI is 28.2, putting me right smack in the middle of my zone meter. Starting out at 31.8 over a year ago, I never thought this day would come. I’m back to the fit body I retired with and then let slip . . . → Read More: In The Zone

Amazing Day!

This morning I took a strength test at the Mashpee Koko. When I got the results I also most fell over. I had a strength increase of 89%! Who does that? That’s insane! I brought my Q score (a measure of overall progress) from what thought was an amazing 61 – to – get this: . . . → Read More: Amazing Day!

Avalanche

Some days seem like an avalanche. You know the kind – where one thing happens right after another and it doesn’t let up until you climb into bed. Most of my days are avalanche days, now. Just look at today. I left the house at 7am to be at work in the Harwich Koko at . . . → Read More: Avalanche

Y is for Yoga

Once again it’s time for the Fun Friday A 2 Z Blog Hop. (And I’m getting better – I’m doing it on Saturday instead of Sunday!) This week’s letter is Y.

Obviously and totally of course, for me, Y is for Yoga. Yoga is the way to put the mind, body and spirit together. I . . . → Read More: Y is for Yoga

Moving Meditations

I know. You’re saying how can you move and meditate at the same time? Didn’t you say you sat in a trance like state for thirty minutes while doing the Silent Journey meditations? Yes, you’re right, I did. In fact I just finished the one on Gratitude and I feel wonderful, energized, and ready to . . . → Read More: Moving Meditations
