Again with the Time Warp

Why is it the days DRAG BY yet the weeks fly by so fast??? It has been almost 2 months since my last post.........bad bad blogger..........

Not sure I have too much exciting to say, but thought I should check in! I recently passed my 2 year anniversary of not smoking.......It is finally starting to be easier and there are actually whole complete days that pass where I am not even missing it..........

I am glad to report that just as I had to get in the right mind set to quit smoking cold turkey (and i'll have you know.......I have not cheated not even ONCE......) I find myself getting into that same mind set for losing weight......

I just finished my first week of Weight Watchers......well I am not actually going to the meetings or getting weighed in......I am doing it on my own armed with my trusty cell phone in hand........as it turns out......having this smart phone is like carrying a computer in your hand. With the proper apps downloaded on to the phone, you can make food choices no matter where you are. Taco Bell - eat a regular crunchy taco for try the fresco taco........hmmmm, let me check my handy dandy cell phone computer - Regular 170 calories, vs Fresco which is 150 calories........doesn't seem like much of a difference but it does add up. The freedom of eating ANYTHING ANYWHERE is unbelievable..........no depriving my sense of taste........as it turns out......it's all about the portions. For the points allowed (which my phone also figured out for me) I am eating about 1200 calories a day.......give or take a few.........

That's a buttload less calories than I have been consuming...........I want to lose 10-15 lbs before I start exercising to any extent as my joints and feet are killing me...........most likely from the stress of all the extra weight.........I know that for me........if I start the exercise too soon and end up hurting myself.........I will slide right back in to old habits.

I have a wedding next weekend........which will be tricky........but a 3 mile walk the following morning for a charity.........that should wipe out the evils of eating/drinking at the reception. Hopefully.............

Anyway, I think WW's is an excellent program and hopefully I am in the right mind set this time to work on my fitness.

Happy Spring to all of you.........I hope you are enjoying the return of good weather.

xxoo

Can I get a Witness??!!

LADY'S YEARLY EXAM I went to the doctor for my yearly physical.

The nurse started with certain basics."How much do you weigh?" she asked."135," I said.The nurse put me on the scale.It turns out my weight is 180.

The nurse asked, "Your height?""5 foot 4," I said.The nurse checked and saw that I only measure 5' 2"

She then took my blood pressure and told me that it is very high."Of course it's high!"

I screamed, 'When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"

She put me on Prozac.

What a bitch

Whew........Long Time No See the Sun

Does this look familiar? Oh how I wish for sunny days..........even the cold is tolerable when Mr. Sun is out! I think I might need to invest in a plant light and sit under it for a few hours a day!

Been a long time since I have seen my blog too! We've been apart for too long..........We finally finished up our 3rd Christmas last week, returning from visiting Duane's family in Ohio. Now I am ready for some spring time!

It seems things are whirling around me so quickly.....is it just me or does everything move much much faster the older you get? The days sometime drag (particularly the weekdays) but yet the months race by! I find myself having to write EVERYTHING down for fear of losing the memory of ever having the thought at all......I guess we're all on overload and things get away quickly.

On a lighter note............it occurred to me last night that while my 40's were times of getting to know myself again and sorting through the BS of life.........My 50's are getting to be quite humorous............I went to a new GYNO this month who advised me that I am perfectly "NORMAL"..............WTF?? this is normal??? I wonder how she defines Psychotic? Actually the diagnosis is both comforting and disturbing...........looking around me I wonder how many other nutcases around me are considered "normal"

While in my 40's I started sprouting some hair in new places...........easy to stay on top of though it takes constant vigilance.........I have deemed my 50's to be the Mole-y years.............that's right...........for some reason my body is once again rebelling and deciding that I need these hideous things called skin tags to start sprouting...........well at least I don't have hair sprouting out of some mole...........seen that.........NOT NORMAL..........though my Gyno would probably say that is "normal" too..........LOL - So I guess a couple of times a year I will head to my dermatologists and have them removed.......AGAIN. Ah the joys of getting older!! There are some positive things as well...........I didn't write them down as they happened and so I forget what they are...........

I've got to get back on track as I have back slid HORRIBLY through the holidays which I can now say are officially over.............which leads me to ask the question - Is Wii Bowling considered exercise? I certainly hope so!!
