I got back into the Y this evening. Yeah! It felt so good. I did 35 minutes on the elliptical. Did I mention that it felt good?
 I discovered something tonight. I used to keep up with my miles on the elliptical-potayto. I really pushed myself to hit a certain number of miles by [...]

I ended up braving the ice to take my youngest daughter to the doctor Wednesday instead of going to work. She had pneumonia. So a shot in the butt and four prescriptions later, we made it home to face a week of solitary confinement for her. We’ve been staying home with her b/c the doctor said to [...]

Well, I guess today will be my day off from exercise.  I got up this morning and the roads were really icy. I decided not to chance it and crawled back in bed. I won’t have a chance later b/c of church so, day off it is. I don’t want to chance getting out after [...]

Do we have any scientists/inventors out there? If so, I have a great idea: please come up with some glasses that makes tempting food invisible. That would be most helpful.
I’ve not really been tempted today but I was sitting in the kitchen at work and there is junk food just everywhere! If I’m [...]

I’m going to elaborate a little on something that I said in yesterday’s blob. Here’s the quote:
“I feel like I’ve turned a corner; like the ignition has been turned and I’m moving forward. ”
The topic for the sermon at church yesterday was “Christ is enough”. It fell right in line with the Wednesday  night study [...]

This weekend has just been fabulous in every way. I’ve done well with exercise and eating. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical yesterday and 30 in the circuit room. It felt good. We had a surprise 25th wedding anniversary party for my brother and his wife, which totally blew them away. They had no [...]

Calorie counting is the name.  It looks like calorie counting has won as the method of weight loss at my house. I’m okay with that: I just wanted a unified front so we can all help keep each other accountable. I found a great place to count calories. countcalories.about.com It’s great. You punch in your [...]

Someone left a comment and asked if the junk I devoured Tuesday/Wednesday was in my house. Well, she said it a little nicer than that but same question.  :)  The answer to that is that the donuts and chips were at work in the kitchen; general public area and up for grabs. The cookie dough, [...]

Okay, confession time: I hit a major pot hole yesterday/today with being healthy. I’m talking crater sized pot hole that included cookie dough, chips and donuts. Jiminy. I know; not good especially with the bp thing. So, tomorrow, I starte new and clean. Just had to confess and be honest and for accountability.
I don’t know why [...]

I made a discovery last night: elliptical + anitbiotics= bad combo. My meds are making me constantly queasy anyway and doing 35 minutes on the elliptical intensified that feeling. So, until my meds are gone, no more elliptical. Bummer. I really like the elliptical. Oh, well. I did go for a walk at the track [...]
