  • 2017-03-14 That’s Just Not How it Works

    Not enough sleep again last night. Five and a half hours is not enough to make up for the 2.5 I had the night before. If you put the two together, that’s a descent night’s sleep, but that is not how it works. I was up at 7 again and already working to prep for…

  • 2017-03-13 A Test of My Resolve

    Yesterday I wrote about giving up Caffeine. I think it was actually the middle of the week last week when I made that decision and had my last sip of sweet french vanilla latte. I did have a couple of days with a slight headache and sort of powered through that. I have not had…

  • 2017-02-17 It’s My Party and I Can Sleep If I Want To

    I put in four solid hours of exercise today with tennis and jazzercise back to back. The 2+ hours of tennis was out in the sun. I also had a fairly mentally challenging work day. All that coupled with the fact that I have been up since 6:08AM, has me in a position to not…

    This weekend I walked over 40,000 steps (according to my FitBit) and a great deal of that was outside in the sunshine. It is definitely a winter where the weather is something I can’t complain about. Yesterday I walked the loop around a lake and saw deer, geese, and an Eagle! Quite magnificent. Also contributing…

  • 2017-01-25 Status Update.. Bridget Jones Style

    Sleep: 8 hours and 51 minutes. Missed it by “that” much. Exercise: Who has time for that? (JK, I did some strength training, jogged a mile, and logged 12K+ steps). Work: 8 hours from home. Not too shabby. Diet: Oatmeal and apples and, oh yeah, that binge on crescent rolls stuffed with chocolate chips to…

  • 2017-01-24 Of Cycles and Sleep

    I’ve been trying to do too much. Or at least it feels that way. Focus on work and kids and exercise and diet and reading and writing and family and.. and.. and.. And no wonder I feel so tired and overwhelmed. I just re-read Matt’s last email to me (which was from December) and in…
