Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
It’s amazing what you can do, once you decide what your priorities are going to be! I mentioned last week that the weather becomes an increasing issue for staying active. A gym membership was how I dealt with this in the snowy climes of WNY, but that’s a tough thing to have to try […]

A week like this was inevitable. The weather and my schedule put the 150 in serious jeopardy. If I get out and get busy tomorrow, I think I can salvage it. But there was way too much off discipline eating. We had two celebrations and I lost the discipline thread both times. Both could have... Continue Reading →
So the question is, did I survive The Big Feast? Certainly on the family/fun/no politics allowed here scale I did very well. Only the real scale is yet to tell the tale. This has been an underperforming week. Just couldn't get my head wrapped around much of anything. Several small things refused to behave.... Continue Reading →
Sometimes life just isn't fair. Like trying to keep your weight under control at the holidays. Even worse is when you are at the very start of the process, so it's not ingrained behavior yet. Sigh. I will be fine. I just have to remember that while I can relax a little, I can't go... Continue Reading →

Between the weather and my schedule, my workout routine fell short (this is the first week in a while that will definitely fall short of 150 minutes). I'm trying my hand at NaNoWriMo (National Novel... Continue Reading →
Not the week I wanted. In any sense of the phrase. The week began with me losing my job. More on that tomorrow. But talk about not being in the emotional place I want to be to build on last week. In the end, I'm actually pretty happy with how I... Continue Reading →
Oh yeah! You thought the Cubs had a good week? They got nothing on this boy. LOL. It was just a matter of not giving up. I didn't even have a particularly good week. I fell well short of 150 minutes, which disappointed me a lot. But I keep looking for times and ways... Continue Reading →
This was the week I've been waiting for. The one where everything decides to get in my way. So I went into my weigh-in a little worried. I didn't get my 150 minutes in. On two days, I completely forgot to carry my Fitbit, so my total steps are down. And the reality is that... Continue Reading →
