Morning,
Well, finally after 48 hours, my (24 hour times 2) cold has disappeared.   It’s about time!
That’s the good news - the bad news is I’m as weak as a newborn puppy and witnessed my get up and go, got up and went.  Still, though, this would be day three with no discernible exercise… and […]

Morning,
It seems that as everything grows older, it gets bigger, not just people!
Check out the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Portion Distortion. You’ll be presented with a slideshow of how food portions have grown over the years like this:

It’s a fascinating story - I urge you to […]

Morning,
I’ll confess - I don’t catch The Biggest Loser much anymore, but oh do I so adore reading what’s been going on!
I came across a superb writeup over at The Biggest Loser4 - Episode 3. It began:
We open with a challenge this week - Whoever eats the most calories gets […]

Morning,
The good news is that I’m breathing.
The bad news is that I’m ‘way sick with allergies or a cold. Hopefully allergies…I really don’t have time for a cold right now!
Wah. Methinks today I will simply do my circle walk for exercise (so long as my nose ceases to trying marathon competitions) and […]

Well!
After this morning’s excitement (which I’ll post at a later time), I decided to buckle down and create a most useful tool for myself - a custom search engine that returns excellent answers regarding diet and fitness from the most respected sources online.
It worked out so well I want to now share it!
Visit the […]

Morning,
Life is truly joyous when you are awakened at 2am by your spouse or kids and no matter how hard you try, your sleeping ability laughs hysterically at you as it chortles in the distance.  Not.
Ah well, these things happen.  At least I got a lot of writing done!  :)
Anywhos, I’m now participating on SparkPages!   It’s a super free diet/weight loss/fitness/get healthy place that has tens of thousands of bunches of members, many of whom post up a storm!
I really adore some of the message board threads like:

Morning,
Well! Today I weigh 140 instead of what I weighed yesterday, which was 135. Ain’t life grand?
Actually, however, I’m not worried about it whatsoever. And here’s why…..
Every weekend, I give myself one cheat day in which I assume responsibility for actually (dare I say it?) […]

Morning,
So! At 3am I was seized by an insane desire to write. Having learned never to ignore such impulses, I rolled out of bed, rolled down the hall, and bonked up smack against that necessity of life - my coffee maker. Soon afterwards, I was diligently at my computer, typing […]

Morning,
I have officially decided that given a choice between enjoying life and dragging myself thru it like a ladybug towing a Mack truck, I much prefer the first.
I was reminded of this after my gym workout. Today was supposed to be my bash-the-body day (the day in which I joyfully […]

Morning,
Life is utterly magnificent when you can look at yourself in a mirror and go OHMIGOSH I HAVE A WAIST AND IT’S LESS THAN MY HIPS AND WOWOWOWOWOWOW!
I experienced that zen moment yesterday evening; I attended my kendo (sword) class and for the first time, put on my hakuma (like a long skirt that […]
