Losin it in Paradise

A good jolt on why it is important to lose weight

Tonight at work we get a EMS call out for a code blue.  We are informed via the radio that the patient is a male in his early 60s and weighs in excess of 750 pounds.  The local fire department will be on hand to assist getting him to the hospital.
He arrives wrapped in a [...]

Husband for sale….real cheap!

Okay, first lets get to the nitty gritty….I gained two pounds over my weekend away.  Not as bad as I thought it would be and today when I stepped on the scale it was gone.  I think I ran it away.
Diet wise I have been doing good since getting back.  Running has been great and [...]

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm”…Winston Churchill
Ok, I had three days of complete and total excess…too much food, too much walking, too much shopping (as if) and too much….well lets just say too much….blush!
I had the best time away with DH in Oahu.  We talked, and walked and shopped.  We [...]

Hell yeah!

Well I am down 8 and hoping for 10 on my next weigh in….but the very best thing is that I am running again.  I managed four runs this week and no injuries :)   I have been doing some research on running.com and I have been pushing it and not listening to my body hence [...]

Still hanging in..

I am on my four shift in a row, this is a short one, only 8 hours, but then I have to teach CPR in the am when I get off for 6 hours….so really not a short one.  Then I teach ACLS on Weds for 12 hours, and then work again Thursday night, but [...]

One step forward, two steps back…

I have some good days and then some bad days.  I just wish I understand or knew what causes the bad days.
I will be so good, sticking to my sensible eating and exercise and then for some reason…all reason disappears, and I start stuffing my face.  
I am probably now heavier than I have ever been, [...]

I met my hero!

How exciting is that?  Wow!
For a couple years now on my way home from work in the am I meet a gentleman out running.  And I mean he runs!   I see him on different parts of the highway depending on what time of morning it is, and I admire him so much.   I watch him [...]
