Day Zero Update – the Half Way Point

We’re just over half way through the 1,000 days through the Day Zero project (aka #101in1001), they project in which I have 1001 days (about 3 years) to accomplish my list of 101 goals. Here are a few I’ve knocked out in 2011 that I haven’t yet mentioned on the blog: #12. Get to 150 pounds February 24, 2011 This represents a lot of hard work and feels fantastic. I am wearing clothes two sizes smaller, and feeling better t Read More!

Great Free WordPress Mobile Theme – Wapple!

In my experience, most out of the box WordPress mobile themes are not good (especially the free ones).

I have tried a few different “one click” mobile WordPress themes for my blog an Read More!

We walked to the Fr Read More!

Vegetarian Week

Day Zero project list item #5 – “Eat like a vegetarian for a week” I added this item to my list, frankly, just to see if I could do it. Technically I ate like a pescetarian – one who does eat fish. But I tried to keep the fish to a minimum (3 meals in my week had fish: crab wontons, shrimp poboy, and fried fish at Luby’s). I’ve never been one who could diet for long periods of time (my most successful peri Read More!

#38 Sing in a Choir – Easter musings

This weekend I had the privilege to cross #38 off my 101 in 1001 list – Sing in a Choir – when I sang the Hallelujah Chorus with the Northaven UMC choir and my Mom on Easter Sunday. My mother is strong, brave, spiritual, peaceful, loving, intelligent, and full of joy like no one else I know. She is the one who taught me that the most important thing to pack on a trip is your Positive Mental Attitude (P.M.A.), and that the #1 rule Read More!
