Thanks Katy for the water-intake check. I do drink tons… but it’s mostly Coke Zero. I do try to drink a few mugs of tea a day, but I miss some days. It’s probably caffeine overload. My neurologist would probably shoot me if he knew how much caffeine I consume - not good for someone [...]

Finally the scale caught up with all my eating right and exercising. 156.2 today! I find irony in the fact that I ate twice as much yesterday as I had the previous two days! My brain just will NOT accept that I have to eat to lose. Yet there it is, in big flashing digit [...]

Despite the horrid chest cold I’ve been battling for weeks, I did the seemingly impossible last night and EXERCISED!!! Yep, 60 minutes on the elliptical. I’ll wait for the applause to die down…
