After more than a week traveling for work and fun I got back home last night. And today is the day I got back to my normal and healthy lifestyle. I was in Texas. First Dallas and then Austin. Dallas was for work and I thought I would add Austin to the end of my [...]

I spent 5-6 days in Dallas for an international trademark conference. I allowed myself to enjoy food and drink. And boy, did I. The day I arrived and Day 2 I hit the gym at the end of the day. And then the gym time went down hill after that. Late nights, early mornings and [...]

When I checked into my hotel in Dallas on Friday evening I was given a choice to decline regular house keeping for environmental reasons. There is a reward of points to decline. Frankly, I don’t need points to agree to that. I don’t make my bed every day. And I don’t need anyone else making [...]

A baseball game in San Francisco can be a beautiful and fun experience or a dreadful one depending on the weather. There have been times when I am wearing a sweatshirt, jacket, gloves, hat, scarf [...]

I stole that headline from a friend. But I love it. So I had to use it. I don’t believe I announced to my readers about my trip to Vegas this weekend. Though between my Facebook friends and fellow Challengers and my mom I think I got my readers covered. Curt and I have made [...]

One of the challenges in this month’s Go Fit Girl!’s January Monthly Challenge is to try to go one day with no complaining. This one is definitely a tough one. I have had discussions with others on this one. And there has been some discussion on the Facebook event page. But I think it is [...]

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 [...]
