I mentioned earlier that I’m ditching sugar again…sigh..again, and getting back on the Paleo train, which is the plan that works great for me when I stick to it. My glucose levels are low, my energy is high, my workouts are awesome, and I can fit in my pants. So here we go. This time …

It usually happens at least once a season, but this year, ESPN Gameday is in Tuscaloosa early. They came out for the “rematch” of Ole Miss and Alabama. I got up early and headed to the Quad to see what was shaking this morning. So much truth in this sign. Gary and Verne….no thanks. I …

Before I get to football, let me tell you about my morning. I didn’t sleep well last night and certainly didn’t have much planned for today. I felt horrible and the only thing I needed to do was drive into town and get my medicine. It wasn’t available late Friday after I went to the …

The tuesday has spoken and it’s not happy. Let me list the ways. 1. I feel a sinus infection lingering in the background. 2. College football is STILL 3 days away. 3. My pants are tight. It seems running more does NOT counteract my love for mango strips. 4. It’s muggy. And humid. And hot. …
