As a kid I never much cared for parsnips. My dad was wild about them, but I was unmoved, figuring that if they were white and ended in "-nip," they must somehow be related to turnips. And I was definitely not a fan of turnips.
Well this week held a bit a triumph for me. I made it to the gym three days in a row. I’ll be honest, I can’t remember the last time that that has happened. It’s been at least two months.
While I’ve been pretty frustrated over the past couple months, I felt as though this week was a bit of a...
I had a good week with my outdoor activities. Rode my bike a lot and got to walk the dog some. It sounds like that will be coming to an end with all cold weather that's coming.

Fit people aren’t fit because of good luck, birth order or something they’ve inherited. They’re fit because they’ve adopted healthy habits and do things differently than most.
