    Music…my tastes in music have changed so much over the years, and because I love variety, this is forever changing. I honestly don’t know where to begin. I do love all Paul Greene music, but most of his originals don’t work well for getting me up and dancing. However, I think I have a few I can post here that […]

    In the past, I would not have done this, I am sure. But here ya go! These were taken right after my workout this morning. I’m actually pretty happy with how these photos look. It does feel good to be at my goal weight, but I plan to continue to reshape and improve my muscles and body!

    Snacks used to be one of my favorite things, but I have considerably reduced the number of snacks I consume. I fast for at least twelve hours in the evening and onto the morning (broken by sixteen ounces of celery juice). But I still do have my go-to snacks. I love fruit. Grapes, oranges, and apples. All of these delicious […]

    Well, as I have lost weight, I have noticed that what I’m wearing is changing. My tastes in clothing have changed rather drastically. And some of the clothes I always liked to wear, I don’t any longer. I will share a few things I might like to wear in the future, but this is merely a beginning. I would love […]

    Breakfast is easily my favorite meal of the day. And as I have become healthier, I have diversified my breakfast offerings. I do appreciate variety, but by far, my favorite breakfast is overnight cereal. (Notice I didn’t say oatmeal.) I have tried a wide variety of overnight cereals. Yes, there is the standard overnight oatmeal. But did you know you […]

    I don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore because I believe you can make a goal any time you like. But I do make goals, and I prefer to call them declarations. So here are four goals/declarations for 2021 and specifically for this month. (Please note that they are written as if I have already accomplished them because that’s how I […]

    Since New Year’s Eve is practically over here… We were supposed to visit my brother and sister-in-law today, but my mom was a bit under-the-weather and exhausted from her procedure, so we stayed home. I just got done watching two Disney movies with my daughter–Moana and Big Hero 6. I had never seen either. We had a blast. Before that, I had […]

    I realize I’m a day behind, but in this case, I’m so glad I got to wait to write this! First of all, my younger self always dreamed of being able to work with actors. Granted, at the time, the actors with whom I was enamored were old-time actors and actresses (most of whom had passed on even as I […]
