I’m taking a huge step in my “new” me. Besides losing weight and exercising, I am making another major change.
I’ve been plagued for years with pain in my teeth, but I haven’t had dental insurance to do anything about it. Now, my teeth are too far gone for my pocketbook. So, I’ve decided to have [...]

Yesterday I had my first tiny blip in my weight loss journey. I knew when I left my house that the scales were not going to be kind, so I wasn’t surprised when it showed I had gained .4 of a pound. I suffer with IBS and because I’ve been under some stress, my IBS [...]

I noticed on my cable’s On Demand under the Exercise TV section, they had Level 1 of this DVD. So today I decided to give it a try. I had watched it yesterday and it looked like it would be mostly easy. How wrong can one person be??!!
I couldn’t even complete the full 20 minutes [...]
Thinking Positive

Weight Watchers has these tools to help you succeed with your weight loss, which they call “Tools for Living“. Well yesterday’s meeting topic was about the “Positive Self-talking”. I actually feel it should be called “Positive Self-thinking”. We tend to set ourselves up for failure by negative thinking, which in turns gets buried into our [...]

Today is a beautiful day! After almost a week of gloom, today is sunny! I’ll be headed for a bike ride shortly. Since it’s Tuesday, that can only mean one thing, it’s meeting/weigh in day. Well, with being sick all of last week and only wanting soup, I lost an additional 2.8 [...]
Wet & Soggy

Hi everyone from wet and soggy Illinois. We are under flood watches. My sump pump has been working overtime and my fear is it will demand some time off before this rain stops. I had to run to the video store last night, and the roads were getting flooded. Well, should I say they were [...]

Give me the news….
Yes folks, I have a sinus infection. Yesterday I had a feeling this cold had moved into a sinus infection, but I knew this morning when I woke up with severe pressure on the right side of my face that it was a sinus infection. I’ve had so many of them in [...]

Went riding this afternoon, on my new bike that looks almost exactly like this picture, except I don’t have the rear bike rack as it was all bent up when I bought it, so the manager gave me an additional $20 off.
First time since I came down with this cold that I’ve gotten any kind [...]

Okay, second day of sneezing and coughing. If I had a fever I’d say I had the flu, but I don’t have a fever. Just stuffed up, coughing, sneezing, body aches. I did get some sleep though. The power of Nyquil.
I can’t exercise, because my breathing is off from the cold, and if I exert [...]
