One year at a gym that hasn’t closed yet

After having my previous 2 gyms close within a year of my joining (one closed 3 months after), it’s been a relief to NOT take out Planet Fitness. In honor of this auspicious occasion, I give to you my Spotify…

Order in the gym!

I am a member of Planet Fitness. I go anywhere from zero to three times a week. On Tuesday I decided to try their 30 minute “express” workout. I usually try to spend no more than 30 minutes there anyway,…

Good Things: BAYBEEEE. I went back to the gym for the first time in over a year. I went before work, meaning I woke up early and left the house! And I went back two more times! Can you believe…

Morning Yoga

It’s no secret that I slipped way back into a sedentary lifestyle over the last year. Now I’m at an age where I start paying the price for inertia with aches and pains and tightness. In early September I started…

My Apple Watch

sweaty gym Kim

I have an Apple Watch and while I used to really, REALLY be into it, I’m not feeling it anymore. First, I’ve become disenchanted with the Apple Fitness app. The app rewards streaks: perfect week, perfect month, etc. I am…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
