This year is just odd isn't it. After returning to America from living overseas for seven years, it took some months to find a job I was passionate about, be hired for and trained at but with the way Covid-19 has been spreading recently it was getting too close for comfort for me so I … Continue reading Changes Again

Breaking Through
Today I broke below the weight I was stuck at for most of June. I plateau hard when I'm losing weight, every 5 pounds or so I get stuck. Pushed through the latest barrier today! I got the job I was trying for. Not going to lie, I was not optimistic. After 4 years of … Continue reading Breaking Through
Health Thoughts, People Are Grossing Me Out
Working up to 2020, I was focused on getting my health in line. We would be out of Italy so the carbs, pastries and sweets would not be as tempting and I wouldn't feel as uncomfortable exercising alone. Reality of the start of 2020 was me being very sick for quite some time and unable … Continue reading Health Thoughts, People Are Grossing Me Out
Quiet Time Update
It has been a bit since my last post, just enjoying the colder months and taking care of a few things. We have not done any travel since December. Back in December I sprained my ankle again pretty badly so my husband pushed me to do physical therapy to strengthen the ankle and work on … Continue reading Quiet Time Update
January Notes
I started 2019 in physical therapy for my left ankle which I sprained and had me rather off my feet for a bit. After a few sessions I already feel more stable on it and went for a decent walk this morning. I felt a bit of an ache now and then and out of … Continue reading January Notes

Some Things On My Mind
It has been a quiet, relaxing couple of months while we replenish our funds a bit after a heavy travel season through the end of 2017. Not a lot to report from January/February and that is a good thing, we have a system of travel then save before travel again, it's keeping us debt free … Continue reading Some Things On My Mind
Turn Of The Year Mayhem
After returning from Hong Kong we immediately started preparing for my step-daughter to visit and join us in bringing in 2016. We headed to Tokyo on New Year's Eve day, as is our tradition while in Japan, and had a reservation at our favorite little boutique hotel (Sakura Fleur Aoyama)in Shibuya. The decor is cute, … Continue reading Turn Of The Year Mayhem
Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 3 – Update & Goals
Went to the doctor this week and got my lab results: A1C came in at 6.2 - this is slightly higher than my previous test which was 6.1 but not as high as I thought it might be. I haven't been watching my sugar/carb intake as well as I should have but I have been … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 3 – Update & Goals
Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 2
I know I have slacked off on this blog series and honestly the working out slacked off as well. We (the husband and I) were doing well until our trip to Hawaii at the beginning of the month. We even took our workout clothes and shoes thinking we'd get at least every other day in … Continue reading Diana’s Fit Club Diary – Part 2 Entry 2
