And the Verdict is … Not Good

Bad News I went back to the neurologist this week for another MRI and MRA. My sister came with me. She was very happy not being the patient 🙂 Well the verdict is no riding, at least for now. The left vertebral artery is healing, but still has a ways to go. The doctor doesn’t want […]

Guess Who Came to Visit?

My brother-in-law drove to Minnesota for a business and guess who we found as a stow-away … my sister Peggy!! Since Peggy’s diagnosis and my dissected vertebral artery we haven’t seen each other in a forever!!! What a wonderful surprise to have a visit from my sister and brother-in-law. Peggy still has an inoperable cancer […]

I did The Color Run 5K!

This past Sunday was The Color Run 5K I talked about back in January. A bunch of coworkers, a few spouses, and friends formed a team. It was so much fun!! There had to be a few thousand out there. Trying to find the actual number of participants! The Color Run 5K Here are a few […]

Back on the VStrom!

Saturday hubby and I rode to Whole Foods. It is about 23 miles away and all freeway. Freeway. Did I mention freeway? Up until this point I haven’t done too many freeways. Well I have now. Not to mention several cloverleaf interchanges. Felt good. Really good. A confidence builder for sure. I’m back on the […]

Snow, Exercise, and Food

Snow Today is April 14, 2013. I thought for sure I would have been out on my motorcycle by now! I couldn’t have been more wrong. Spring is no where to be found here in Minnesota. We’ve had snow, followed by more snow, and then snow. Today we had a little remix of snow, ice, and […]

Sidelined

Well, my wonderful visit with my daughter and grandson ended last week. *Sigh* Then I proceeded to get sidelined. I somehow perforate my tympanic membrane a.k.a. burst eardrum. No earache. No fever. No cold. No symptoms. No clue as to how or why it happened. Baffled the doctor. So I got that going for me! Sidelined […]

The numbers don’t lie!

I think I originally heard, “The numbers don’t lie” on the Biggest Loser. Sounds like something Jillian Michaels would say at a weigh-in. It’s also something that I’ve been wrestling with when looking at my diet and exercise verses the scale. For the most part I eat healthy: low sugar, lots of veggies and fruit, […]

How I think I look and reality!

For me, there is so much truth in these images! I’m still laughing. How I think I look and reality I’m still plugging away training for the Color Run in July. I’m using a treadmill and the C25K app. I’m determined to keep at it no matter what I look like (see above photo). I’m […]
