Quick post for a big effort… I’ve been following the Adnan Syed case since Serial season 1, including follow-on podcasts Undisclosed, Truth & Justice, and Crime Writers On. I’m a listener, not a reader. When the judge’s opinion came down last week, I wanted to read it (really I did), but, as I said, not much of a reader. […]

Just another Manic Monday…
I took Friday, Saturday and Sunday off (mostly), which always feels great until, of course, Monday. I got up early and opened my computer to find . . . 312 emails to address. Oy. However, our FITera.com weekly challenge was to ramp up our exercise. (Last week’s challenge was to work out in the morning.) So I […]
Hamstrung!
At Crossfit yesterday, we did good mornings, Tabatas, and a 6 minute AMRAP of pull ups. If you have no idea what I’m talking about when I say things like “AMRAP,” you might want to go back in my blog (linked HERE) and scroll down to “Crossfit lingo.” Good Mornings work your hammies. You can […]
That Water Thing…
I suck at drinking enough water daily. I don’t know if it’s because my parents never really drank water. Probably. But I can go an entire day without drinking water (or, really, anything), and feel fine about it. I know water is healthy. I know that water feeds your cells. I know that often if […]
Unsubscribe, unsubscribe, un-sub-scriiiiiibe!
Every morning for the last week, I’ve sat down with a cup of coffee & had an “unsubscribe” fest. Is your email inbox like mine? You subscribe to something, and then within a few months, that “something” has proliferated into about 100 “somethings”? Usually, I have an “unsubscribe fest” before traveling. I unsubscribe from the […]
Belly v Abs
Belly. It’s such a nice sounding word. Cute. Sweet. Happy. Probably comes from the holidays – even now (yes, I am in my 50s) I get together with my dad on Christmas Eve, and he reads Clement Moore’s “Twas The Night Before Christmas” to me. (I even put out a note to Santa still – it’s pretty […]
Fitera – Day Three
Today at Pelo, I got my hat! Today, three of us (in this photo, the three of us with the pumpkin-colored hat on) got our “20 workouts in 30 days” Spring Challenge hats. The other gal in the photo is one of the awesome instructors. Georgia. In this photo, we’d just finished doing Georgia’s “Coachella” […]
Fitera – Day Two
My angel & devil working overtime… So, yesterday, I went to the Farmer’s Market, did Pelo, got together with a friend I haven’t seen in forever for an hour-long hill hike with my dog, and then I said that I’d convinced my bff Moddie to join me at yoga . . . so I’d be sure to go to yoga. Nope. […]
Fitera – Day One
Well, it’s kinda Day One. When last we left our intrepid heroine, she was trying to decide how to get a newspaper to hold in her photos . . . Yup, no photos here. Why? Because I had work that I needed to do, starting at 6 a.m., then I didn’t even walk the dog […]
Fitera Day Zero
Yeah, Yeah, I’m at it again. I’m not even going to talk about, or link, all the diet “programs” that I’ve tried while keeping this blog. I will also try not to be embarrassed by myself. Two posts ago, I discussed “failing” at WAG – Working Against Gravity – the latest “hit” program for weight […]
