Set your goals. Long term and short term ones, and make them specific!
I will exercise more. Is that really a goal? Sure. Kind of. Okay, not really.
How are you going to exercise more? Ride 3 times a week? Walk to the park 2 times a week? Swim every day? What are you going to do this week?
Motivation is so often a key to starting and continuing a project but my experience has taught me that I need to be specific with my goals. You can find tons of reasons to stay on the couch, but make a list of why you shouldn’t! Find a training plan, set a date for a race, SIGN UP for said race and work toward a healthier you.
Why? Because you can do it!

An invite just hit my e-mail box…brisket and card games this evening with a group of friends. The best part was that it started off with this phrase: “While not as beneficial as running…”
I missed a long run on Saturday, in part due to the weather but mostly due to a hurting left knee, so I’ve GOT to get out there after work and enjoy the beautiful weather and get in the 4 mile training run for the half marathon. There’s also the issue of needing to shop for a new pair of shoes (I’m blaming my newish Sauconys for the knee pain).
However, it may be beneficial to let my knee have one more day of rest and that brisket sounds awfully good, and I’ve got an itch to win a few games of Rook…
Luckily my running partner will be counting on me to be there…unless her mouth is watering for some brisket…

Thursday morning as I was getting ready for work, the sky was aflame with color. I couldn’t resist stepping out onto my back porch for a few pictures.
The first is a bit blurry, but none have been digitally retouched.
I also took a couple of pictures of Stormy. The first is my favorite.

Once again, showing my more romantic side.
All of you single men…please try not to swoon.

“Ahhhh, Valentine’s Day. Bad food, shoddy restaurant service - and you have no choice about it. The Soviet Union had toilet paper lines but they didn’t force Valentine’s Day on its people. Really, anyone who is unsure what mandates accomplish only needs to look at ethanol for a modern comparison of why things suffer when [...]

The can of black beans you bought for that recipe you never made, the lonely can of stewed tomatoes sitting behind that box of pasta, the package of broccoli in your freezer…what do you do with it all? What can you make?
SuperCook to the rescue! Okay, so it won’t tell you what to make [...]
