Wellness Wednesday – The Clothes In My Closet
In September 2011, after I’d lost 60 lbs and had crossed the arbitrary dividing line between a 2 or a 1 at the beginning of my weight, I finally decided to get rid of my bigger clothes. I’d held onto … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – A Battery of Tests
I’ve mentioned before that it seems like everything is happening all at once, now that things are happening generally. Over the last few weeks, I’ve had two different sets of bloodwork, three sets of x-rays, an ultrasound, and visits with … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Hikes of 2021, #24-29
Lots of state parks this time around! I’ve been doing a bit less over this period as I’m trying to protect my foot, still waiting for my MRI and to find out if it’s broken or has soft tissue damage … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – 23 Years

It’s been one of those weeks where so many health/fitness things happened, none of them worth their own post, and I don’t really have much else to say, so here’s a bunch of mini-things. Endocrinologist: I finally had my specialist … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Hikes of 2021, #9-16
Overall, I’ve hiked a lot less in February than I did in January, due to some foot/hip injuries. This post includes the last few from January and all those up til now in Feb, which will likely be all but … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Enjoyment vs Necessity
They say the key to sustainability with any fitness plan is enjoyment. And for years, I’ve stuck with this motto. I’m fortunate enough to enjoy many types of exercise, and after forcing myself to do HIIT (I despise HIIT) for … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Hiking Bingo
Hey look! I updated my Wellness Wednesday button for the first time in nearly six years, haha! ***** Back in early 2020, I put together a Running Bingo for myself, based on official running events. (Of course, I had no … Continue reading
