If I had to choose one word to describe how I feel right now, it would have to be *overwhelmed*.  Raise your hand if that’s you.  I have too much on my plate and I am drowning.  Something needs to give or my mind just might explode.  I went back to work permanent part-time when the kids […]

It’s time for True Confessions. Let me be the first to say that I haven’t done my best the past few weeks. I’m not proud of it, but I’m fessing up and telling the truth. True confession is good for the soul, right? As some of you know, I’m dealing with some tendonitis in my […]

With the holidays fast-approaching, stress levels can rise as bank account numbers magically decrease. As you spend time, thought, and dollars on celebratory events and gifts (for others, of course), your health and fitness doesn’t have to get cast to the wayside because of finances. Being a health nut on a budget is possible, and […]

The doctor sat at his desk writing. He turned around, handed me a paper and said, “Go home and Google this. You know you’ll do it anyway”. The paper said tibial posterior tendonitis and I did go home and Google it. Per The American Health Network…. Description Tendonitis can be a common problem in the […]

It’s the happiest time of the year! And the most stressful, for some.  With so many holiday events, family obligations, end of year projects, and travel,  the holiday season typically means indulging in a great deal of unhealthy food and drink, lack of sleep, and extreme emotion. As a result, the holidays become as much […]

You might kind of know me and I might kind of know me, but I am sure we would both benefit from a Get To Know You Meme.  You know what a meme is, right?  A list of questions, per se, that each person reading answers.  C’mon, play along- it will be fun! First Name Food […]

The frost on the grass and snowflakes I saw a couple weeks ago are telling me that winter is beginning to make its appearance here in Michigan.  I’ve had friends a bit farther north and west posting pictures of even MORE snow – so I think it’s time to start talking about dressing for winter […]
