About Me

As I got older I have a more relaxed frame of mind. I have returned to school to give my career a kick and I hope it works despite the economy. With the last bird getting ready to fly the nest the focus is finally back to me. So in that perspective I have gotten selfish, or is it really being selfish to care for ones self.

I very rarely ask my husband to do this, pick up a pack of cigarettes for me on his way home. He started into the discussion about how bad it was for me...blah, blah, blah! Tell me something I don't know. Of course all of us smokers have excuses for not quitting; work is too stressful, home-life is too stressful, money is stressful, another blah, blah, blah.  Well picture this, you have had a wonderful...

Time to Journal?

Over the last couple of days I find myself thinking about issues and childhood events that I had never recalled before. This occurs every evening and does keep me awake at night, frequently until 2 or 3 am. Let me paint the whole scenario for you. Last April I found out that I am a diabetic, and I already have high blood pressure. I know that this comes from years of bodily abuse so lets...

Wow-Great job on losing the 10! I have to say that even though the snow is driving you crazy, I love it and miss it something terrible. My husband and I have been toying with the idea to take a little 3 day hiatus over the weekend and take our two dogs to go play in the snow. We just can't decide where to go. Right now here in Florida, we are having some killer storms with a tornado warning in Melbourne. Apparently, all of the celebrations planned for today have been cancelled. I was feeling really physically poor last night, kind of the way I felt on the Atkins when I cut all the carbs, a little dizzy, headache, nauseous. I had a few pieces of carmel pop corn, felt better, then went to bed. Guess in a few days I will get use to it. If you would like to get rid of the snow, just send it down here! If you want to de-thaw, just grab your buddy and come to Orlando! There are a lot of great deals now that the kids are back in school.

DeeDee -  2 lbs in one day GREAT! Keep up the good work. I will be weighing in tomorrow which will be day 11 for me. So I hope that I'm close to 10 lbs. I'll keep you posted. You just keep counting them down!

                                                                                      Have a great Monday

Hi Brenda and thanks for the welcome. I weighted myself this  morning after breakfast and lost 2 pounds. Not so bad for day 1. I hope the upcoming days are just as productive. Only 128 pounds to go.

First I love your picture!  Welcome to the Doctors over 50 - 17 Day Diet Team. Even if you think you might have blown a day just get back on track the next day and you'll do fine. I think we have all been there. Keep up the good work and keep me posted with your great results.
