Holy mackerel, Batman. I got the sledgehammer put down on me today. I went to the doctor for a bump on my neck, right behind my ear, and got more than I bargained for. The bump was just an infection for which he gave me two antibiotics to take. But he took my blood pressure [...]

http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/thebell said something very interesting in her blog the other day. Here it is:
Apparently researchers say that January 24 is the most depressing day of the year. As silly as it sounds, today seems to be that sweet spot on the calendar where New Year’s resolutions have lost their luster, work is picking back up after [...]

Okay, imagine the best Valerie impression from “Princess Bride” voice. :)  I’m sitting here at work, on break, feeling like a total liar and hypocrite. I just went onto a new web blog and left a comment encouraging them and telling them they can do it and not to give up…. you get the picture; when [...]

Of course, it will be gone by this afternoon but we did get some. I’ve been hoping for some for over a month.
Well, today is a new day and a clean slate. DH and I talked again last night about how NOT to set ourselves up for failure. One of the special features at the [...]

Foodwise, I mean. My hubby and I had a great weekend; just hanging out and enjoying each other’s company. However, food choices were not that great. Friday night we were both tired and neither one wanted to cook so, you guessed it,we ordered pizza again. Saturday was pretty good but not so on Sunday.

In case you couldn’t tell, I’m down this week: -3.5 pounds. Woot and Praise the Lord! I weighed in before going to the Y this morning and stepped on the scale four times b/c I thought I had surely read the thing wrong. But I am down 3.5 pounds. That surely gave me motivation to get [...]

Someone asked me about the name of my blog and my name so I thought I’d just explain in general.
Just 4 today is to remind me that the only day I need to really worry about is today. Just for today, I need to make healthy choices. Just for today, I need to drag my hiney [...]

I know, I know; three times in one day is almost more blessing than a person can bear but this one is short and sweet. I know the experts say not to post pix on line but I wanted to share this family photo with my new friends. This was taken in Gatlinburg, TN [...]
