Sara – weight-loss goal achieved; struggle to maintain!

Hello, everybody, I’m going to post tonight, even though tomorrow AM is weigh-in time, just because I have the time now and am too tired to do anything else!  It has been an intense two weeks…especially last week, when I actually ran intervals outside and enjoyed it!  Also contradanced in my great new shoes and [...]

Sara – Back to work, and it’s ok…

Hi, folks, I now have a system for recording to go along with my sparkpeople recording so should be easier. Back to work big time.  Hymns for Year A need to be chosen – I’ve done 4 months, 6 months to go.  If I do this now I can make decisions about choir anthems for [...]

Sara – groan, work beginning in earnest…

I’d better post now, while I have a moment – work should have cranked up already but I’ve been procrastinating! Bad news is, I was sick for several days – nothing serious but this virus did hit me rather hard.  I’ve been back to normal for a couple of days now.  Good news is, I [...]

Sara – AWOL but not idle

I’m back – finally – knew it was a long time but – three weeks?  Well, my excuses are:  digging;  recording so much stuff on sparkpeople that I was dreading the task of transferring things here;  my birthday/eating;  entertaining a house guest;  being ashamed that I gained back the weight I lost.  So there! However, [...]

Sara – sharing an article on walking form

Hi, everyone!  I’m baaaaack a little early because I am inspired to share.  I enjoyed reading Nancy’s article yesterday and then I found this one on the SparkPeople site, about “how to walk.”  Well, duh, do we really need instruction on walking?  The article asks this question and answers, yes – many of us do [...]

Sara – Digging, etc.

That title should have everyone wondering! Yes, I’ve been digging and shoveling dirt – from one neighbor’s yard into another’s.  Why?  Well, it was there.  Actually both of these neighbors are quite busy (more than me, very tight work schedules) & both on tight budgets right now.  Yet, their yards really need help. To Lisa’s [...]

Sara – holding, holding…

Hi, everyone!  Welcome back, Lynn, and I hope your jet lag is soon a thing of the past… Weather this last week was mostly quite hot, but yesterday was lovely and today is quite cool so far.  Unfortunately I am doing indoors work which I’ve put off for too long, so am not in the [...]

Sara – in a holding pattern…

Bonjour!  That headline is fairly accurate.  Our new sidewalks are completed but it has been very hot and muggy, and I have been too lazy to break out the camera and photograph them.  Maybe tomorrow and I will add a photo here.  We still must hire someone to put up walls between our gardens.  We’ll [...]

Sara – better!

Bonjour, tout le monde!  It is a cool greyish day here in State College but our construction progresses – they poured our new sidewalk yesterday & now it is drying.  Work schedule is slower, although I do have to sing a funeral this week.  Celine Dion’s The Prayer – and Over the Rainbow for the [...]

Sara – under construction here

I have figured out how to keep my record – I have a Word document on my desktop so I don’t have to OPEN anything to make entries!  Hee hee, easiest yet! Construction here has added stress, especially with my rather goofy neighbor.  Here is the wall they took down between my yard and hers. [...]
