I am very excited, a little nervous & feeling supremely lazy as of late!! I signed up to run my very first 5K for PETA~ People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals~ on November 11th. My back has been hurting, I have very tight muscles & ligaments in my hips (perhaps from not doing yoga & getting massages after the birth of my son 21 months ago!!) and no proper running shoes, so I do have good reason for not necessarily 'hitting the road running' right out of the gate, but I am…

hi everyone...i haven't been posting lately, i've barely even been on here lately...here is the rundown...

i've been chanting every morning and every evening (and i've been to a special meeting/celebration...last sunday and a study meeting... last night, the monthly kossen ruffu gongyo session is tomorrow, but i can't get anyone to watch the kids so may have to miss it, i may have to chant for some miracle that makes it possible for me to make it there), staying raw with a few…

I'm new here, and have been playing with the idea of blogging here. So, here it goes. My voice is gone today and I've got a bit of a sore throat, so blogging will be great then, huh? I haven't really gotten sick for almost two years. I quit smoking at that time after my bi-annual bronchitis...the last bout just about did me in, so I quit there on the spot. Nowadays, I just don't seem to catch what everybody else gets, which makes me a great nurse for my kiddos. :)…

I did it! In a previous entry, I shared that I was experiencing a new (and given my physical condition, a very strange) sensation - a desire to run!



My spirit was oh so willing, but my ankles, feet and knees said "no way". Although I had lost weight from my original 250 pounds, I knew my body wasn't ready, although every other part me was ready to soar.



So, every time I had a…

Well since last week I have been getting up first thing and getting my butt on over to the gym. I have been walking on the treadmill for at least a couple of miles and then coming home to take Lili out for a long walk. It all started because we have noticed that as good as Lili is, we have been coming home to hear soft crying and barking when we approach the house. So she is not happy being alone. As the good researcher that I am I have been brushing up on Cesar's book and his Dog Whisperer… Continue

I think that some people need vigorous exercise. I'm one of those people! I live in Northern Colorado, and we've had so many snow storms this year! I've still managed to run some--even though it's cold! (The key is to dress in layers. You warm up right away, so it feels like it's 20 degrees warmer.) And the gym I joined in October when this RawFoodRehab started is super easy to use and has lots of fun cardio classes. Here's my November log. I started keeping track of stuff I did in the weight… Continue
