The first 10 days.
Part of my approach to Operation Quality of Life 2009 is that it is completely okay for me to change my goals as the weeks, months, and year goes on. I don’t want to feel badly about these goals; I’d rather they feel doable and exciting and real. The first few days of January, I […]

The Weight Goal
All week, I’m writing about “Mare’s Awesome Plan of Awesomeness”, my quest to achieve four major goals in four months. So far, I’ve told you about the motivation behind my plan and described the four goals. Today, I’m writing about my weight goal. Remember that my weight goal was to be under 200lbs by December […]

Aqua-ouch.
I went to aquacize yesterday, and it was AWESOME. I had a ton of fun, and the class was a nice workout. I’ve only ever done deep water aquacize before, with a float belt, so doing it in shallow water was a completely different experience. The pool is the longest one in Canada (137m!) and […]

I like to move it, move it.
Picture the lemur king from Madagascar singing that post title. Here’s the thing – I do enjoy many forms of exercise! Shocker, I know. I grew up dancing and playing softball (both for 12ish years), spent much of high school playing basketball, and I’ve occasionally played recreational or intermural volleyball, slo-pitch, and indoor and outdoor […]

The prices are reasonable and the food is unbelievably tasty. Rangoli is owned by Vikram Vij, and is next to his more well-known restaurant, Vij’s. […]

It’s the first day of Spring, what’s up with that? By the time we got over to the Island later in the […]

The human body is truly amazing…
This blog post originally appeared at Practice Living and may not be reproduced without permission. Don’t be a blog-scraping jerk. … but I still hate it. I finally went from “maybe almost sick”, as I had described last week, to full-on, ass-on-the-couch-all-day, box-of-kleenex-a-day, SICK. Every time I get sick like this, I am truly amazed […]

Bits and Pieces
Bit of a strange week, and I have some random updates that don’t all flow together, so… bullet points! I haven’t gone out for my second run/walk yet. My lungs were thrashed all of Saturday, and I think I need to go easy on them. For a few weeks now, I’ve felt like I’m *almost* […]
