Losing inches in height isn't as much fun as loosing inches around my waist! Even a fraction is too much at my age and stage! As the scale slowly moves down, I am losing height, in fractions of inches. So far, two whole inches have disappeared, and I am still...
I have never lost a pound that didn’t find its way back to me, sometimes along with three buddies. "I try to lose weight, but it keeps finding me!" The truth is, in the words of a favorite muse: [Over the decades], I've lost a total of 789 pounds. I should be hanging...
The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. * A plan in this first quarter of a new year was to get an exercise bike for those days when the weather argues against walking. A friend who know me well commented, when she heard my plans: it will make a great...
So, the other day I had a casual conversation with a younger woman who likes writing, but is reluctant to wade into words, arranging them in such a way that satisfies herself and communicates her thoughts. My analysis — not her’s. Writing is . . . tricky. Being...
Filling out new forms with old information, I was startled. The dermatologist’s office wanted to know my end of life wishes. Good grief! I hate filling out forms! Why did they need to know that if all they were treating was eczema? Oh Wait – I was here for the annual...
Well, I put them all back on . . . no, not the pounds. I put the years back on as the prednisone wore off . . . I went from being 73 to feeling 35 as the steroid worked its magic and calmed my crazy immune system, suppressing the eczema. It also calmed achy joints and...
First let me stipulate: I am not wholly sure what day it is, unless I check the upper right of the computer screen. But I have enjoyed this one, except for intermittent nervousness. Today passed as seamlessly as the previous day that I am calling Monday. I feel like...
So, the revised eating regime chugs on, cheered on by our doctor who confirmed the following: that adding lean protein, more “greens” cutting white stuff, and upping the water intake showed up favorably in my blood work. (The Annual Physical Wasn't So Dreadful)...
Barreling on through the last days of 2019, I am out of breath, but not out of hope. Even adjusting for the blurriness of my recall of events of this fast moving last year, I know God answered a lot of prayers – even as He gave me a few more matters to keep in...
Here’s a little greeting this Christmas Eve 2019 If the camera adds five pounds, than the trusty watercolor brush takes off seven. One of the prerogatives of artistic license, right? Anyway, I am enjoying one of the perks of the season. No, not the Christmas...
Ah . . . you know that glorious feeling; that feeling that your clothes are almost too big and your are just going to have buy a whole new set of EVERYTHING? Me, either. But, I like daydreaming. However, I have to say the petite sizes I bought a few months ago are...
The good news is I am continuing to make better food choices. Plus, I feel better! Also, I think I am thinking better, too. Like when I behold my slimmer reflection I think losing a few more pounds will not do me any harm. No chance of losing me on a walk in a brisk...
