Whew! What a long, busy day! It started early this morning and went to late this evening! I didn't even get to the Y today and now I have a lot of catching up to do and not a whole lot of today left to do it!
Chickadee, yay!
My mom also had a grease canister and I have actually been looking for one lately with all the bacon I fry up in the mornings. I figure if my Mom, a chemistry major, could save bacon grease and not worry about it, well then so can I, lol!
Mars, oh my scale is definitely a male, lol! On some days, he can be quite the charmer, but for the past, oh, 15 years or so, he's been as frustrating as can be, lol!
Carol Sue, I remember an infomercial from the late '80's-early 90's for the same exercise machine and that one was called a Health Rider, so I've often called mine a Health Rider, lol! Oh the sexy girls on those machines riding to upbeat music made it look so fun. I'm not having so much fun with it, lol! However, of all the machines that have come in and out of my house, I've always kept it. I'm not sure why. I guess I've always thought that it was a pretty good way to do cardio and weight resistance for the whole body at the same time! I think I might have been brainwashed by the infomercial, lol!
Bewildered, I know what you mean about trying to get used to the idea that fat is not the enemy. We've had that drilled into us for SOOOO long, starting back in the 1960's! But I have to admit, I don't feel guilty about my bacon at all, lol!
Rennie and
Mary!
Thanks,
Everyone, for all your well wishes and helpful advice concerning my discomfort!
For some reason, last night, my body decided to act "normal" and helped me out tremendously. I don't know if my probiotics and/or yogurt started kicking in or what. I think it was too soon for my coconut oil to take effect, but whatever the reason, I felt much better! I can only hope it continues!

Today's Exercise:
I will have to count loading and unloading boxes and furniture as exercise for today, as we packed things up from the attic beginning early this morning and took them to auction. There is still so much stuff left that we look like hoarders up there, lol! We have sold loads from when we had the antique shop but we still have so much to get rid of! Ugh! I'd love to donate it all to Goodwill but my DH won't allow it. I'm so sick of moving things! It's making me crazy, lol!
