Make Change Happen

-

This applies to so many areas of my life. Life gets busy, priorities change and sometimes while things seems okay, they really are not. I reached a point where I was not happy with my weight because it held me back from things I really wanted to do. I wasn't happy with the threats of serious health problems and the medications I had to take, and the side effects didn't look good either. I started this health journey with a brand name program. In one year I lost some weight but my health still got worse. So I did this health assessment as a starting point. From day one it made sense. I have had some setbacks. Especially this summer, still trying to figure the cause, damage, and course of action. The setbacks, no biggie, I am bouncing back better than ever. In 2 weeks under doctors guidance I gained 7.5lbs. Took me over the 200lbs mark again. Ugh. BUT the threat of serious health problems were all diminished, some even eliminated. Then I got the all clear and I was able to go back on program... today is Day 6 and I already re-lost 8lbs! Not surprised, the program works. Not saying you will do as o did, but what if you did better? I will continue to have setbacks but I keep on. With all the darn hurdles I keep encountering, I am still succeeding. I do learn a lot from books but good old fashion 1st hand experience is making me stronger to continue on. If you would like to know more about my journey, I am willing to share. Ask away. Don't be hesitant to start your health journey. let's do it.

Where to Purchase Shoes

My chosen method of exercise is walking. I can do it almost anywhere at almost any time. I have heard of walking referred to as the simplest, easiest, least expensive method of exercise. Least expensive does not mean 100% free. There is no charge to go out and walk around. Walking at the local park is free, but walking at local amusement park is not. Therefore, I will agree, walking can be free but not 100% free. Walking requires I wear shoes. Walking across a bare foot is not for me. Soft grass feels nice but most of the time grass feels like tiny sharp points. It may not be as bad as walking across a floor filled with Legos, but I can't walk on grass for an extended period of time. Walking on a typical street sidewalk is doable, but again, I can not do it for an extended period of time. I need padding otherwise my heal starts to hurt. Walking for me requires having a good pair of shoes. Previously I spoke about knowing if is it time for a new sneakers ? My answer was, yes. Ne...

DVD Rescheduled, Postponed, Delayed.

Jillian Michaels came out with a new DVD. One Week Shred and you could lose up to 7 pounds in 7 days. A seven day commitment?  I can do that! It was to be released March 3rd. Great! I got on line and per-ordered it. My plan was to do the DVD for one week and shed the 7 pounds before I went on my first camping trip with my son and his cub scouts. As I said, that "was" the plan. What happen was something else. The DVD took longer to ship and longer to arrive. The DVD was delivered a few days before my trip. I did not want to risk being sore during the trip, so I decided to start the Monday after our trip. *sigh* We went on our camping trip and had a great time. It was awesome sleeping under the stars and listening to the coyotes howling and the little cubs sounded adorable. The frogs in the creak were very vocal. An owl decided to land in a tree very near our tent, and he too was very vocal. I really enjoyed our camping trip. My son had a great time and he wanted to ...

2011_0117 Counting Calories at Disneyland

-
Over the weekend we went to Disneyland. I did not take the tram ride from the parking lot to the main entrance. Instead I decided to walk. The distance from the elevator at the Mickey & Friends Parking Lot to the Check-Point where the trams drop you off is 0.60miles. I brought with me some fresh fruit and some bottles of water, in effort to curve temptation to eat too much junk food. When it was finally time for dinner, I decided I would eat at the Red Rocket Pizza Port in Tomorrow Land. I wanted to enjoy my dinner but not go crazy with the calorie count. The menu board did not have calorie counts, no where obvious where nutritional values posted either. I asked the door greeter where I could find the information. He said to ask anyone behind the counter. Including him, I asked 4 employees in there. Each would point me to the next person until the kitchen was gave me a response. "We are still collection information, so we don't have the information." That left me pu...
