A Change of Focus

Things have just gotten a little different around here... 2022 was a weird year, and I don't think I'm alone in thinking that. Loads of us found the year to be... interesting. One thing I realized toward the end of the year is that there's no point to me trying to change my body until … Continue reading A Change of Focus →

Controversial Shower Thoughts

Why do people have such a hard time with "they/them" as personal pronouns? Here is my hypothesis...

Playing Catch-Up

Well, I've just been reading back over old posts and I realized I haven't updated since late 2019. Here were are in October of 2021 and there's been a whole global pandemic since then. Also, most of my last post was about my husband's medical emergency, and I've had my own since then. So let … Continue reading Playing Catch-Up →

Bad at Resting, Fantastic at Playing

I'm on my third trip through PBResolution now, just wrapping up week 6 of 12 today. Today is supposed to be a "rest day". My body didn't want to rest. It wanted to play, so play I did. For me personally, I enjoy my practice so much more when nobody's telling me what to do. … Continue reading Bad at Resting, Fantastic at Playing →

Wake-Up Call

It's been a pretty crazy last couple of days in my neck of the woods. I don't know if it's the full moon, the mercury retrograde, the monsoon that is trying desperately to happen and not quite making it, or what's causing it, but a lot of people I know are going through some Serious … Continue reading Wake-Up Call →

Imperfect and Strange is Better Than Non-Existent

Most people don't know this about me but in early 2012, before I sold my soul to corporate America and became a property manager, I did a brief stint as the "Cristina" in a Lacuna Coil cover band that was only moderately terrible. I've always loved to sing and I'm reasonably good at it, but … Continue reading Imperfect and Strange is Better Than Non-Existent →

On Derailment and Bees

I tell you what, I never thought the thing to break my 22-week workout streak would be something stupid like the Pima County Fair. The Guardians of the Children (my motorcycle organization, because we can't say "club") had a booth at the fair. So for the duration of the fair, I spent most of the … Continue reading On Derailment and Bees →

Ego Check

Sunday, March 24th, 2019 could have been the last day of my life. I mean, theoretically I could say that about any day because we never know when our number is up, so to speak. But sometimes you flirt with death a little extra hard, and for me, March 24th was one of those days. … Continue reading Ego Check →

Taking it Down a Notch…

Confession time: I skipped a couple of workouts last week for the first time in over four months. Yes, I was working a lot of hours. Yes, I had a lot of non-work activities going on. But that wasn't why I did it. My body was just tired. Not in the "I need to sleep" … Continue reading Taking it Down a Notch… →

It Doesn’t Get Easier…

In my foolishness, I one day spent quite a bit of time looking for "fitness inspiration" on Pinterest. One thing I saw repeatedly said, "It doesn't get easier... you just get stronger." Eh... well, partly yes, but that's not all there is to it either. It doesn't get any easier at all, actually. In fact, … Continue reading It Doesn’t Get Easier… →
