White Elephant Gifts
It's that time of year when I try to come up with a couple good white elephant gifts! We do a big gift exchange at both my Mom's house and at my in-law's house for Christmas. Alcohol is always a safe bet but I love coming up with funny stuff for my gift. My father-in-law is GREAT at bringing fun gifts! Last year his…

Alexa music
Anyone else like asking Alexa to play random songs as you sit and have an adult beverage? I swear one of my favorite things recently is doing this with my hubby, our Alexa is so confused as we play everything from the Beach Boys to Otis Redding to Johnny Cash to Conway Twitty to Meatloaf to Pink to Beastie Boys.....well…

Felt a pop
This morning I started my workout with squats, 3 sets of 12, then I did lunges, 3 sets of 12, then things went south....My next exercise was Step-ups with 35 lb kettleballs. That's actually a decrease in weight from what I normally do because I increased the height of the step. I was only about 4 steps in when I felt a pop…

If skinny-fat is a thing, is fat-fit also a thing? 🤔
I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, I do cardio and lift weights...the last time I was at the weight I’m at now I was wearing a Women’s size 12 jeans, now I comfortably wear a size 8 and just left a store where all the dresses I tried on were size mediums and fit a little loose......so is fat-fit a thing?

This may be a long shot....
I have been trying to find information on setting up multiple speakers throughout my apartment and outside that I can link together and play music via a bluetooth connection and listen to my TV through. I have found systems to use indoors but I have not found a system that has both indoor and outdoor speakers that I can…

Podcast Recommendations
I like to listen to podcasts as I work so I'm always looking for recommendations. I listen to "True Crime Garage" on a regular basis and some political stuff, but would love some ideas!

Help to alleviate muscle pain under shoulder blade
I have some muscle soreness under my left shoulder blade, I hate calling it pain because it's not so bad that it's hindering my normal daily actions. However, I did reduce the weights on my upper body lifts yesterday and today I skipped the torso rotary lift as that seemed to cause the "pain" to increase. So my question is…

Random thoughts

Best supportive sports bras
Daily I wear Elomi 34J bras; I have to order online as, even if I were to make the 2 hour trip to Kansas City, (the closest city to me) I have not been able to find supportive bras in my size in store. I only wear underwire because it just makes me feel more "secure". I have a couple sports bras, an Elomi that worked ok…

Struggling to get enough sleep
I have no problem falling asleep at night, but I do not remember the last time that I slept the whole night through. I go to bed at about 9:30 / 10:00, then usually about midnight the vicious cycle begins...I wake up every hour or two until shortly before 5:00. 5:00 is my normal time to get up. This cycle began when I was…

Feeling guilty about skipping the gym
I got very little sleep last night dealing with my very sick BullMastiff, so I did not go to the gym this morning. Today is not a weight training day but I had planned to do cardio for at least 45 minutes; I'm feeling very guilty about not dragging myself out of bed on time to get to the gym.... Maybe a long walk when I…
