Holidays

Happy New Year, my friends and my readers. Today is the start of a new year and a new Go Fit Girl! Monthly Challenge. I personally don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions. Now I know they exist. But how often do we make one and keep it? Yup, think about it. For as long as [...]

Today our vacation ends … Well, we still have a few more days off. But today we take off and drive back home to the Bay Area. I have had a great time visiting family and friends. But frankly, I am looking forward to getting back into my routine … my healthy routine. Our one [...]

The Husband and I are traveling to Tucson for Christmas … by car. We decided to drive as it is expensive to fly to Tucson and even more so for Christmas. We will need a car while in Tucson and for the second part of our trip to San Diego. I am not a huge [...]

I had another post in mind today. But I have some work to do on it and I am tired. And something happened at work, which warranted a short and quickie post. Part of my job is to ensure that our researchers keep their lab notebooks up to date, that they are complete, signed and [...]

On Saturday I wrote about how I had an upcoming challenging week: dinners, lunches, possible lack of exercise. Sometimes we can plan for our challenges other times they are a surprise. I try to take them all in stride and accept that sometimes you fall off the wagon. At some point you get back on [...]

Ah, the holidays are upon us. Tomorrow is the unofficial launch of the holiday season. I heard on the radio this morning that tonight is the busiest night for bars. I searched on Google to find more information about this. Many cities did stories on it. The one I decided to open came from Tucson, [...]

I probably should have posted this sooner. But oh well, I didn’t. Oh, first, Happy Halloween! You know that dreaded Halloween candy you have to keep in your house before the trick-or-treaters come … I bought our candy about a week and a half ago and am proud to say I haven’t touched one piece.

Today is Valentine’s Day. I find the holiday silly and pretty much pointless. If you are single, you feel bad that you are. If you are in a relationship, you feel pressure. Curt and I don’t give gifts or cards. If we can, we do go out to dinner and eat delicious sushi. Last night [...]

My staycation has consisted of me nursing a cold all week. Last night the cold started to move into my chest and develop into a cough. The cough seems the worst in the morning and at night. So I missed spin and abs and body conditioning today. And I fear I am going to miss [...]

I am still not quite sure what this post is going to be about. I have been thinking about it most of the day: Should I talk about spinning on Christmas Eve? Talk about abs or doing dirty dog in body conditioning today? Or do I reflect on the holiday season? It is great for [...]
