Not sure.
Last Friday James and I attended our first Michigan Women’s Gymnastics meet.
It was our first live competition.
We’ve watched the Olympics through the years.
Thought it would be fun to see in person.
We were a bit lost at first.
College meets don’t run exactly like Olympic coverage.
Numbers were everywhere.
So were the athletes.
We spent the first half of [...]

Mine does.
James and I vacation at a beach.
I worried re missing my strength training.
So I asked Mollie.
She had the answer - and gave me a new goal.
I need to find a beach guys lifting gym.
Walk in like I belong there.
Workout with total confidence.
And real weights - not typical 2-5# weights for women.
Bonus points if I [...]

Still blue.
Yesterday we went to the Michigan Women’s Basketball game.
For me, it was a whole new game.
Even though we’ve attended for a few years.
And I grew up loving basketball.
My fitness quest gave me a different perspective.
I no longer just watched the game.
I also watched how the player’s moved.
And compared to training with Mollie.
Wow! Look at [...]

(Even though my blood runs green!)
I am a proud Michigan State grad.
My blood is green.
I’m a huge Izzo fan.
Have wonderful memories of school.
Tonight I switched teams.
We attended a Michigan’s Women’s Basketball game.
Been going to games for a few years.
Enjoy watching the women develop their skills.
When I first moved to Ann Arbor, I was firmly green.
Over [...]

Yeah!
Today I got up early to cook.
I made protein-packed, cherry-almond oatmeal.
And pumpkin protein bars.
All before 8 AM!
Just came off three days on the road.
My food stash was depleted.
I had a date with Mollie, my trainer, at noon.
Wanted to be able to eat properly to prepare.
What a difference in my workout!
I rowed with 70 pounds.
Swung a [...]

Well done!
Just spent the weekend working at Disney World.
Stayed at the Swan and Dolphin Resort.
My first time there.
They walk their talk when it comes to inclusion.
There were several pools.
Each had it’s own chairlift.
Even the hot tub.
(It’s the white machine on the left of the hot tub.)
Way to go Swan and Dolphin Resort for investing in [...]

Anymore.
I had a big ah-ha this week.
Didn’t realize how much I used to hurt.
Or what I was missing when out of shape.
Surprised by the insight.
I had to walk the entire length of the MSP airport - more than a mile.
Used to leave me exhausted.
Covered with sweat.
This week it was just a walk.
I decided to stop [...]

A lot.
Had a great workout at the gym.
New personal record time for distance.
Hit some new speed highs.
Mollie suggested I step up to a bigger challenge.
Came home riding on a bubble of dancing thoughts.
Grabbed the goods to make my protein shake.
Healthy liquids.
Lots of blueberries.
My mind was consumed playing with Mollie’s challenge.
I heard the blender groan in [...]
