Does Exercise Have to be Boring?

Today, I went to the Historical Downtown district.  I keep my snail mail box there.  They also have a great library and some cool restaurants, that I will talk about in other posts.  The thing is, I don’t have a car and I like to walk the 1.35 miles to go there.  It is not [...]


Black Eye Moody is the perfect gym

I have a dog. His full name is Black Eye Moody. His nickname is Mugsy. He answers to both. We live in an apartment. My dog is my gym. The thing is, I have carpeting in my apartment. The dog learned early on that if he could not hold it in, he could pee in [...]


Healthy Tuesday – How much do you exercise?

Do you exercise?  What is your excuse? For the last three weeks I have been very busy.  As a consequence, my real workouts have suffered.  I know that when I do my squats again today, my legs are going to hate me.  That does not mean that I did NO exercise. Instead of driving to [...]

Those damn squats

It is quite possibly, the worst part of my day.  It is also, the most rewarding.  It is my butt workout. Why is it the worst part of my day?  I hate squats and lunges.  I have avoided them for years.  Now, I have a personal trainer, who is teaching me proper form.  He also [...]


Yesterday, I ran

I have always admired people that can run.  I see joggers every day, jogging on the beach or in the neighborhoods where I live.  Since I was 9 I’ve wanted to do that, and have never been able to.  As any diva will tell you, never is not in their vocabulary.  I decided I wanted [...]
