I will miss your posts here, but certainly understand. I came to the same conclusion in reverse about a year ago, "Dammit, I'm a nonfiction writer, not a fiction writer." I'm thinking of shutting down one of my blogs (A Thought Grows). Some…
Sugar. I love it. I hate it. The thorn in my body's fluffy side. I need to do better with this. Yes, I have that love-hate thing going on as well. Very nice blog and articles. I am realy very happy to visit your blog. Now I am found which I…

I woke up this morning and thought. 'I need to get fitter' small changes in diet I agree work best. If I tell myself I can't have something it just makes me want it more! I definitely know what you mean, Suzanne.Remember to have a specific

When I push my heart rate and it starts to get hard, I think about my heart as a muscle and how I'm working it, increasing its strength. At almost 49, that is a great incentive for me. I want to be healthy first and above all. I have a lot
I love playing with my heart rate on the equipment, getting to a certain point and sustaining that or working at intervals. The awareness of what's going on with my HR as I work out increases my endurance. Great article-- and no matter how

I wanna be him when I grow up. We have good friends, a couple, in their 70s and although they are not gym rats, they amaze me with their activity level. They climbed a 14er last year and decided that might be their last one. They still ski,…
