Okay, of course I would have liked a bigger weight loss number for the month BUT I'll settle for BARELY moving from the 150s to the 140s. Barely. But 8 lbs lost in July? I'm not ashamed, I'll be thrilled if I can repeat the results next month.What I'm doing:~ Simple math = calories in vs calories out for weight loss~ Raw fruit for breakfast~ Raw veggies for lunch~ whatever I want for dinner -

While posting my weight on Fitday.com this afternoon I noticed my BMI. I'm no longer obese, now I'm merely overweight.I know it's silly being excited over a BMI of 29.57 bet heck I'll take good news where ever I can get it. Wee![Starting BMI 30.86]

Before I started trying to lose weight (on July 1st) I spent a week monitoring some health stats.Here's where things were when I started :Blood Pressure 130 / 84 ( ideal BP according to Wikipedia 112 /64)Resting Heart Rate 65 (normal 60 to 80)Fasting Blood Glucose 103 (above 100 is considered pre-diabetic)Weight 158 (ideal weight for my height - 5 ft - is 97 to 128 lbs depending on what chart you

The last few days have been busy crazy and I've been logging my food on Fitday just at the end of the evening. I've found that not writing things down as I eat them has made me lazy about my food choices. Though the scale is holding steady at 152lbs I'm disappointed in the lack of weight loss progress and of course I have no one to blame but myself.Anyway at least for today I'm going to post what

It's scary, really.The amazing thing is that I am FULL all day long and pretty much eat whatever I want for dinner. And yes, even have the occasional brownie or piece of candy. I'm not following any particular diet plan, at least not one that's

Women who are trying to diet around their families have my sympathy. I have only my husband to deal with and I find that difficult enough. I can't imagine how hard it must be once you add children to the mix!I do just fine on days that GolfGuy works. I get up, walk or work out and prepare and eat my smoothies just fine all day long. When he gets home in the evening I have a halfway healthy meal

Publix had a sale on fresh blueberries so guess what kind of smoothies I had today? They were pretty tasty but I miss the strawberries & mangoes from a few days ago. GolfGuy & I went to Longhorn for lunch (I had a $5 off coupon) so I had half of and 8oz steak and steamed veggies. Not too bad there but I was bad and had a little of the fresh baked bread. Yum! Dinner was a Florida avocado with a

I don't actually believe in diets. Not that they don't exist (in fact there are far too many of them) but I just don't think that they work. Being "on" a diet means that you eventually go "off" the diet, usually in some unplanned way. Just by starting a diet you're just setting yourself up for failure eventually. I think instead you have to make up your mind to adopt healthy eating and exercise

One of the things I'll be doing to help me lose weight is to get in those 10,000 steps a day that everyone recommends. So of course that means I needed new shoes!Seriously, my old Mizuno Waveswere great shoes but I've worn them out and I can't afford a new pair right now. Instead I've replaced them with a cute pair of less expensive Ryka Women's Lotus Running Shoes.I've never owned a pair of

Okay, so I'm not only in for July's NaBloPoMo but I'm also going to double down and set a weight loss goal as well. Not only will I post on this blog every day this month but I will also lose 10 pounds. Oh yeah, I know I'm crazy!I have no heart for self discipline but here we are. And because I always need a visual aid (and even numbers):So, for July from 158 to 148 (or less) pounds. Goal to be

Only 6 days into NaBloPoMo I'm out of material (unless of course I want to post more political stuff which I'm trying to avoid).For no other reason than it's entertaining, check out this site which proves that in these modern times you can't even believe your eyes. Behold, the power of retouching.

Here's the results from me haphazardly collecting electoral college predictions from various TV pundits for the last few days. Note that all the results below are all predicting a Barack Obama win. I haven't seen one pundit predicting a McCain win willing to put a number on it. That leads me to believe that they're doing a lot more wishing than real analysis. I think if they'd spend a few minutes

My neighborhood and the surrounding area looks like a helicopter dropped hundreds of McCain/Palin yard signs. The second most popular yard sign is "Yes on 2".I have little doubt how things will turn out in my precinct. I just hope that isn't indicative of the State results.

In the last four years I've had many moments where my fellow Republicans have caused me to say, "That's it, I've had enough!" Not the least of these was when John McCain won the nomination in March of this year. Since then it seems that the party has been led even further and further down a pretty steep slope right into a mud pit. Sadly, some people that I've admired for years, like Elizabeth

That's 353 electoral votes for Barack Obama. Try as I might I couldn't stretch his lead any larger than that for a humiliating landslide. Apparently there's nothing more vengeful than a bitter Republican.While I'm prognosticating I'll go out on a limb and predict that Obama also wins the popular vote (duh) and that the Democrats gain 8 seats in the Senate and 29 in the House.So what will this

I'll be giving National Blog Posting Month a shot in November. The goal is 30 posts in 30 days which should be a challenge considering how rarely I post now.I'll spend the day trying to get into the spirit and hopefully I'll have something interesting to say before the day is out.

I'm not old enough to remember the moon landing so excuse me if I find this to be a most awesome space related discovery.In a discovery that could qualify as one of the most important in the history of space exploration, NASA’s Phoenix Mission may have confirmed the presence of water ice on the planet, Popular Mechanics has learned.

Note to ignorant TV commentators (I'm looking at you FOX News):It can't be called a "leak" if the state is required to release the information.Here's hoping that Caylee Anthony is found alive and well.

Alaska Senator Ted Stephens has been indicted on corruption charges.It's about damned time. Resign now, Ted!Oh, did you notice the lack of respect in the way that addressed him not just by his first name but ignoring his title as well? Lack. Of.

An extreme home makeover, a mortgage pay off and $100,000 cash? But 3 years later they're facing foreclosure.Oh, please! And yeah, take my tax dollars to finance their mortgage bailout. Misled, my ass.

The good news is that I don't look like Posh Spice (that was a joke!) but the bad news is that I skipped the haircut. There were transportation issues that I simply wasn't motivated enough to overcome. It's just as well as I still haven't picked out a hairstyle and the last thing I want is a hairstylist (and a stranger at that) talking me into something freaky.I think I may try again on Monday

What is it about emotional trauma that makes a woman want to go out and get a drastic haircut? Yeah, I haven't had my hair cut professionally in YEARS (at least 10) but I think I'm heading to the mall tomorrow to have it all chopped off. Don't mock the mall salon. Tomorrow is Sunday, where else can you get your hair cut on a Sunday? (My hair hasn't been professionally cut in years but now it has

That's a weird way to announce an engagement, don't you think? But it's the actual phrasing of the headline on TampaBay.com the website of the St. Pete Times: " Florida Gov. Crist says he's getting married". Gee, you'd think that they're suspicious that it's some jaded political ploy or something. In their defense Charlie is frequently a fiance and rarely a groom. Crist has been engaged 5 times

This headline on the Drudge Report "Jalapeños Probed in Outbreak" made me giggle because it reminded me of comedian Jeff Dunham's Jalapeno on a Stick.Here's video proving that probing jalapenos can be pretty funny.

Golf Guy and I rarely make it out of the house for dinner. The occasional breakfast? Yes. A sometime lunch? Maybe. But dinner? I honestly can't remember the last time we had "a date night". It just Never. Happens. So when I was so bold as to insist that he take me out to dinner last night he could hardly say no. Where to? The best Mexican restaurant in town, El Norteno - it's cheap, authentic

Living in Florida, 40 years old, happily married to Golf Guy (not his real name and, as you may have guessed, in the golf business).We have one cat, Baxter. His real name is Bastard, the cat I mean, not my husband. We try not to call him that in polite company but trust me, he worked hard to earn that moniker. He's a good kitty most of the time but when he's bad, he's very, very bad.Anyway, I'm a
