Sunday, April 13th, 2008Just when I start to feel really great physically and ready to get back into walking every day, something goes wrong. In this case, two things went wrong. First, the weather got nasty again. We went from mid-70s one day to mid-40s the next. Combined with the rain, it’s just not good weather to […]
Incentive To Lose
Thursday, April 10th, 2008I’m a little frustrated with popular culture right now. I’m old enough to know that the normal human body cannot lose 100 pounds in a few months. I’ve been pregnant enough times to know that you do not leave the hospital after giving birth, wearing the same clothes you wore on the day that […]
Bio Quench Bonus
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 Time for a “health” update. I’m 7 months away from my 50th birthday and I’m making excellent progress.
Since I began my weight loss program in August, I’ve fallen into a pattern of losing for a few days, then stalling for several weeks; lose for a few days, stall for several weeks. The stalls are […]
Clear It Up
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008 I was always amazed that my sons had very little acne at teens. Both my husband and I dealt with breakouts so I always thought that all my kids would as well. The boys, so far, have been very fortunate, with only an occasional pimple here and there.
Not so for my daughter, though. She’s […]
What Do I See?
Monday, February 18th, 2008Usually, I wear daily disposable contact lenses and occasionally I wear colored contacts. I don’t wear them everyday, though. In fact, if I’m not leaving the house I don’t wear them at all. You see, my eyesight is just fine for close-up stuff like computer work, reading, cooking or talking to and playing […]
Time To Blog My Self Improvement?
Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008 Right now, I’m considering a new blog to deal specifically with my weight loss journey. I’m very happy with my progress so far but I realize that I’m not blogging about it regularly. Perhaps a niche blog would encourage me to report on my progress more regularly.
Until then, I’ll just mention that for a […]
Need More Room!
Sunday, January 13th, 2008Nick and I were downstairs earlier, looking through my vast selection of essential oils. Seriously, I have over 40 right now. I really want to get back into soap making and my basement would be perfect for it. In fact, I started to set it up down there about a year ago but then […]
A Merry and Sniffly Christmas
Tuesday, December 25th, 2007As hectic as our pre-Christmas and Christmas Eve are, our Christmas day is usually lazy and quiet. The kids play with their stuff or just hang out and we sit around relaxing. We quit visiting on Christmas day when Chris and Jesse were young and realized how much more pleasant the day is when […]
Healthy Traveling
Saturday, December 1st, 2007We’re still waiting to find out if Brian will be heading back to Hawaii this winter to work. Jesse is looking into another stone job so that’s a possibility. This one could last a while and if it does, Brian is considering a vacation to Australia for a week or so. That’s always been […]
I’m So Sensitive
Monday, November 19th, 2007I don’t remember a time when I didn’t have sensitive teeth and gums that bled easily. My mom says I get that from her. (Thanks, Mom.) My mother would always instruct me to use the same toothpaste that she used, which was made specifically for sensitive teeth. I tried it once and thought I […]
