PHEBESS chips!
Tuesday, August 04, 2015 22 comments What a lovely long weekend, despite the big storm. Yesterday's gym trip showed weight back down: and was followed by a late afternoon 9 holes of golf. We decided not to have supper at the club but to come home and spend the time with Char... Read more
Big Storm
Monday, August 03, 2015 22 comments We spent quite a bit of time on the beach yesterday (blissful) but in the late afternoon Ontario was swept by fierce storms. Solid sheets of rain, greenish sky. Mini-tornadoes, really, with power interruptions (very brief at our place) and tre... Read more
No Laptop, Less Tracking = Upward Blip!!
Sunday, August 02, 2015 22 comments Gahhhhh!! I've not been tracking my nutrition with the dedication required to maintain within a tight range: iPhone tracking is just too cumbersome/slow/annoying. Thought I was still "in compliance" with my daily calorie range anyhow. ... Read more
Temporary Laptop!! Yay Yay Yay!!!
Saturday, August 01, 2015 21 comments I've really been hampered here at Spark since our break-in with no laptop at home: and really no time at work to check in. Using my iPhone and the mobile app is really really slow. But: DH has brought home a "work" laptop (used mostly for ... Read more
Amy Cuddy Writes Back: Power Posing and Obesity!
Wednesday, July 22, 2015 20 comments Way back March 27 when I was finishing up a series of blogs about mental health and obesity, I referenced Amy Cuddy's terrific TED talk about power posing and about the effect on the mind that adopting a powerful pose. www.sparkpe... Read more
UK groceries
Monday, July 20, 2015 16 comments Years ago my mum got her British magazines (Women, Woman Home if I recall the names correctly) which had quite a number of grocery item "adverts" that weren't routinely available in small town Ontario. Ribena, a black currant cordial with lots ... Read more
Weekend upcoming!
Friday, July 17, 2015 25 comments And I'm very much looking forward to it . . . Will tackle the laundry. Will sit on the verandah with Charlie and drink coffee and read the newspaper. Will make another pot of soup! Will get to the gym for a good workout, ... Read more
Break In . . .
Wednesday, July 15, 2015 38 comments Got home last night just as a break in was in process at my house. Thankfully nobody was at home but Charlie, and Charlie was not hurt. I saw two of the persons and spoke to them (without fully realizing what was going on) while sadly a t... Read more
Low Key Continues . . .
Tuesday, July 14, 2015 26 comments Yesterday I used my weekend-rejuvenated energy surge to get through some urgent stuff. But today I can sit back a bit, do a little research and some interesting continuing education on line. Basically take it fairly easy. And: I have a sl... Read more
Benefits of Doing Nothing!!
Monday, July 13, 2015 23 comments Had a VERY low key weekend: just the usual chores, but no work at all. And spent a good chunk of Sunday in a beach chair at the lake just reading the August O mag and listening to parents and kids and ducks and all that good stuff. Same beach ... Read more
Blackberries!
Sunday, July 12, 2015 28 comments Our jungly side "flower" bed has been colonized by blackberry bushes, and with all the rain we've had there's a bumper crop. So delicious picked in the warm sunshine: much sweeter than the ones I can buy at the grocery store. And: I le... Read more
How Many Calories in a Bowl of New England Clam Chowder from Panera?
Friday, July 10, 2015 38 comments Grrrr. Trivia question today. And there are 720 calories. And I guessed correctly. But: I don't go to Panera. Panera is an American food chain, I'm guessing. And I don't eat at restaurants very often. And when I do go to ... Read more
Other Peoples' Blogs
Wednesday, July 08, 2015 26 comments My main activities here at Spark are tracking nutrition and reading other people's blogs. I do track fitness minutes too, but not so reliably. I do occasionally (very occasionally) check in with Spark teams. Of which At Goal and Main...
