P90X Day 63
Posted in P90X on May 5, 2010
So as it turns out, I was two days ahead of myself on Friday–Sunday actually marked day 60…ah, well. It doesn’t change how I’m feeling about the program one tiny bit. Or the results. As my back hit the floor in Back Hero today during stretch, and as I stop being so danged jealous of […]
Amazing
Posted in Life on May 2, 2010
You know those friends who are just amazing?? The ones who stand behind you and remember things you forgot you told them and take time to let you know they’re thinking of you and they love you and you are on their mind at just the right moment?? Pretty incredible. What a gift.
A word to the wise about Plyo (or P90X, Day 60-ish)
Posted in P90X on May 1, 2010
If somebody tells you…”you should definitely do plyo instead of cardio”…watch the dang video before you attempt it the first time. You’ll learn before you go in that eating anything (even a harmless banana) an hour or less prior to beginning the workout is stupid. You will feel the need to…umm…lose said banana within the […]
Weekends
Posted in Family Life on April 25, 2010
I work through each week with the constant goal of Friday afternoon. Well, usually evening. If we can survive all the school, horse lessons, gymnastics practices, karate practices, rehearsals, meetings, unexpected trips to the store, expected ones, occasional appointments (when I don’t forget I made them 😉 ), cakes to bake, and work to plow […]
Moments
Posted in Reflection on April 23, 2010
I look at my life in snapshots…quick glances…unanticipated clicks…those are my favorite moments. The ones where the camera catches something I didn’t necessarily expect to see. I’m always struck by those moments. So much of my life is planned…expected. I live it that way intentionally, so that I make the most of each second, deliberate […]
P90X, Day 50
Posted in P90X on April 22, 2010
Ohhh, I like how that looks. Day 50. More than half-way through Round 1. That makes me happy OK, now for truth. I love the workouts. Still. Even after not being here to tell you that for days and days and days. When I’m eating like I should, according to the diet guide (minus about […]
Ahh, the truth about homeschoolers…
Posted in Homeschooling on April 21, 2010
One of my favorite blogs to follow every day is titled Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers…and the author, Kris…I think she and I would be friends (although, I think she has many, many blogoshere friends, and I might be juuuust obscure enough that she has no idea who I am. And that’s ok. 🙂 ) She just […]
Tagged!!
Posted in Uncategorized on April 20, 2010
I have, once again, been tagged…but I have to say, I’ve never actually been tagged this way–actually, she said…it’s an award!! 🙂 My friend, Amy, one of the women whose blogs I read daily (and yes, she writes nearly daily…if you’re looking for somebody who will inspire you, encourage you, and is consistent about it…she’s […]
I don’t want to blog today.
Posted in Reflection on April 18, 2010
I want to sit here and just think. I want the world to shut up around me. I want the hamster to stop banging against the cage with her wheel, and Seth’s computer to stop making Starries sounds, and the dog to stop ringing the bell to go out. I want to breathe deeply. I […]
Ultimate Blog Party!
Posted in All About Mindy on April 10, 2010
Happy Blog Party!! You know, I could use a party today. I think a virtual party will do nicely. 🙂 (Since I can’t make that little button link to anything, here’s the link: http://www.5minutesformom.com/19667/ultimate-blog-party-2010/) Today, I stumbled on a new blog through another “friend’s” blog…and this is what I found. A party! Right in the […]
