In addition to swimming I have been cleared to ride a bike. As much as I really dislike the stationary bike at the gym I have learned to embrace it as an alternative way to move my body and keep active. In the pool you can't listen to music or read a book so …
WIAW – Scrambled
Scrambled is how my mind felt by the end of Tuesday. It was an incredibly long day full of back to back to back meetings that ended with an overwhelming desire to go home and collapse, but a strong will sent me to the pool. The morning started with some banana and sun butter …
It’s Tuesday
I wish I was here: Where do you wish you were?
Happy New Year!
Yes, it is the start of the Jewish new year and it couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. I am back on my feet and getting stronger every day and I know that this year will start off a million times better than last year ended. My very first meal of the new …

I simply poured some powdered lemonade (but you could certainly make your own for extra bonus points) into a glass and added a large handful of basil that I stirred around and muddled a bit. Shake right before you drink and you …
Learn New Things All The Time

Recently I have learned more things about myself than I could possibly begin to share with you, so I thought I would take a random sampling. I …
WIAW – Spicing up Dinner
Tuesday morning started off with a typical cottage cheese breakfast, but in the most fantastic bowl! Because I got to work at 7:15 am yesterday morning, around 9 am I was ready for breakfast number two: Peanut Butter Puffins and some trail mix and a biscuit or two. Lunch was the turkey crockpot meal I …
Could always use some tips
