Well, I’m so darn sore today. I helped my husband again with his lawn service the last two days. I’m aching all over. The one was a new yard, and I picked up sticks, broken glass, and various junk out of that huge yard for over 2 and half hours. The back of my legs

I got a real workout yesterday helping my husband with his lawn business. Of course, I forgot my Omron pedometer. I have two of them, so I think I’m going to stick on in my purse. I seem to remember it, after I’ve left the house. That’s one way to solve that problem.

I just bought two cookbooks… Busy People’s Low-Fat Recipes and 2nd Serving of Busy People’s Low-Fat Recipes. They were written by Dawn Hall. These are great books. Seven or less ingredients and less than 30 minutes. They don’t call for any of that weird

Today I went to the beautician and got my hair cut. I had a young girl cutting my hair. She mentioned to me she was trying to lose weight. I’m not sure why she decided to tell me..but I listened. She said she had gotten up early this morning to start running with a friend

It’s a beautiful day here today. The sun is shining and the temperature is about 60 degrees. I helped my husband cut a lawn today. Talk about some bad luck…the belt came off the riding lawn mower and for some reason…when I shut mine off…I couldn’t

Spring really finally here. On Thursday, my husband cut the front lawn and I cut the back. I felt fine when I got up Friday. I figured I must not be in that bad of shape. My husband has a small lawn care business. I decided to help him on Friday. Here it is, Easter Sunday, and I still

I’ve been reading this book called Small Miracles. It has many two page stories of things most of us would call coincidences that have happened in peoples lives. I wanted to share the one that happened to me yesterday. As I said yesterday, I was going to volunteer at the

Today we are handing out Easter baskets at the Family Room. I’ve got the impression that one of the ladies doesn’t like me. I’m not sure why other than the fact I’d rather be busy than sitting talking about someone. I kind of made that evident. Sometimes

Losing weight isn’t easy. Anything that can analyze and show you what you need to do to reach your goals using your own specific program within your time frame…it’s a positive thing. The Diet and Exercise Companion does just that. Once you input your personal information,

Burning Off Those Calories: One small chocolate chip cookie (50 calories) is equivalent to walking briskly for ten minutes. One jelly donut (300 calories) will take 20 minutes of walking at a moderate pace (20 minutes per mile) to burn. A double patty cheeseburger, extra large fries

Yesterday was going really well for me. Lots of water…few calories. I also went shopping with mom, so that meant plenty of walking. When we went to the grocery store, mom picked up these scrumptous home-made frosted sugar cookies….they were suppose to be for my husband.

I was looking through the diet channel website. It is loaded with information. I like the fact it shows various diets…then makes recommendations. Anyway, I came across the Scan Diet. This one was developed in Scandanavia. Although it doesn’t seem to sustain weight

I was glancing through the Dash Diet book. I always like to do comparisons of various weight loss books. Needless to say, I have more than a book shelf full of these types books. Their website has a 7 day diet plan which is free. In the Dash Diet Book, it states the first step

Today I started my Slim Fast diet. I had a chocolate shake for breakfast. It had a great taste and was quite filling. I’ve know, I have been fooling no one but myself when I hit the snacks at night. I am starting this life change with a renewed determination to lose this weight.
