Check in with your total today, and let us know how you’re doing!
As I write this I realize I left my pedometer upstairs today. Brilliant. I don’t have any planned exercise for today but I am taking a two hour self-defense class that I hope will give me a few extra steps!

Yesterday was an icky day in our neck of the woods, which I blame entirely for my pitiful amount of steps. Today I’m working on a plan that will get me to the YMCA and still allow me to work on my to-do list, which is now so lengthy that I think I’m going to […]

Oops, I totally fell asleep there for a minute. I must have green fatigue.
Seriously, though. I am all for learning new ways to be better to our environment. I’m not great at actually practicing eco-friendly behavior, but I enjoy hearing suggestions of small ways to reduce waste and such. I think it’s great that […]

I tried to buy boxed wine at the store yesterday. So now, I’m tacky and cheap.
It was Sunday, so the State of South Carolina saved me from myself.

Some of you may remember me talking about high fructose corn syrup awhile back. After hearing about how fat HFCS is making me ( and the rest of the world, apparently) I checked out my pantry to see what items I buy that might have hidden HFCS. I found very little, which made me happy. […]
