Je cours

Weight Watchers this week announced their new Core program. (If you’re not familiar with WW and want to lose weight, I could not recommend a smarter way to do it. The WW follows general guidelines for good nutrition and forbids nothing. It’s all about learning to the “right” way — usually healthfully, but allowing […]

And I’m still at work. But I did leave for an hour to get a run in, so it’s okay. And since there are only a few of us here, I’ve been “lunge-walking” around the building whenever I get up to get coffee or whatever. (I’m glad there are only a few people here!)
Other updates:

Greg has been training dilligently for the NYCM, eating healthfully and the man is looking hot, hot, hot. Here’s a picture from last weekend:

This was taken at his class reunion last weekend. The guy next to him? Same age. Cool “day of the dead” Hawaiian shirt? Greg made it, including making the skull-shaped buttons from […]

This has been one of those bear weeks. I’ve put in a minimum of 12 hours each day at work. I’ll probably be here until midnight tonight. I’ll be working tomorrow, with a donut-hole in the middle of my day for dinner with my parents who will come into town to visit. Sunday, I’ll be […]

I saw a quick blurb on the TV screen as I ran at the gym at lunch time: Louisiana is paying for 40 state employees to have gastric bypass surgery to test whether it’s cheaper to pay for the surgery or for the complications of obesity.
The story was on…I’m not sure…CNN? CNBC? They quoted a […]

I’ve committed to Tina and she to me. Next year, it’s an expedition-length race. We’ll try to register on the first day and hopefully get a spot.
We’ll have 72 hours to get from one coast of Michigan to the other, via bikes, foot, canoe, ropes, brains and brawn. And that’s about all we really know […]

From time to time we must remind ourselves why we do the things we do. Today is one of those days for me.
It’s after 8 and I’m still at work. I’m very tired. I knew it would be this kind of day, so I got up early and did my run before work. (Unfortunately, I […]

I know I’ve talked about this topic before, but every once in awhile it hits you in the face. Our internal images don’t always quite match up with our external images.
It hit me square in the nose today when Greg showed me a pic he took yesterday. In my head, I’m always just “Lynne.” That’s […]

Yesterday, I had a client meeting plopped onto my calendar right in the middle of my day…when I usually do my early workout. SUCK! I had a couple of choices: I could get up at 4:30 to workout before work. Or I could do both my early and late workouts after work.
Greg’s on vacation and […]

It started two weekends ago on the Adventure Marathon weekend.
On Sunday morning, we were all preparing to head home. As I was loading my bike into the back of my minivan, one of the guys said, “You know, Lynne, it works better if you take the back seat out.”
I had the back seat folded […]
