YES OR NO

In this battle of weight loss, we all run into daily situations that put us in conflict.

Do I eat birthday cake at the party?

Do I ditch the gym because my gym partner can’t make it?

And on and on…daily?  Maybe I should have said hourly, minutely?

A lot anyway.

What if you had a question to ask yourself that would help you through these situations?

What if the answer to that question is always either yes or no?

What if the results you get depends on these three things:

A.  How often you ask the question.

B.  Your answer (which is yes or no).

C.  The actions you take to support your answer.

WOW, could it really be that simple?  Yes, I  actually think it could.  Whether you dress it up in Atkins or Weight Watcher’s or anything in between—this is the bottom line.

Oh, I almost forgot---the question.  Here it is:

Will this get me what I want?

I Feel Her

For the last 3 or 4 days I have felt her inside of me.  I can even see a hazy outline.  She comes forward from my muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones. 

I am moving toward her with physical activity and clean eating.

I CANNOT WAIT until we are on equal footing!!  So very, very exciting!!

Okay Jennifer You Win!!

Jennifer Hudson finally convinced me to join Weight Watchers.  I joined on Tuesday 12th and weighed in at 187#  Just thrilled it wasn’t more.  On the 19th I weighed in at 181.8# so I lost 5.2# the first week!!!  Today I weighed in at 180#, so I have lost 7# in two weeks.  I know that rate will not continue but it is a great boost!!

The option I selected was the “Monthly Pass” which gives access to unlimited meetings and the ability to use eTools on the WW website.  It cost $49 per month versus $14 per week if you pay weekly.

I have decided I will try this for 6 months and see how it goes.

Will let you know!!

Viagra Tips

So what does one do while waiting for the blood pumping results of Viagra to kick in?

I like to take advantage of the time, so I stretch and use my stretchy band.  They can  help with stretching, makes it easier to stretch further.  Besides I like to tune into the exhibitionist side of my personality and put on a “floor show” for my favorite guy.  Besides I might need a helping hand to put my limbs in their proper position in case I stretch too far!

This is one occasion where leering is good, and jaw dropping stares are better!!  Actually I would like for him to  join me in these stretching exercises….I think we would both enjoy them even more.

I’ll just keep extending the invitation and, who knows, maybe someday he’ll join me!!

Why I Quit

I quit watching SCI: Crime Scene Investigation because it was always dark….why not just turn on the lights instead of walking around with flashlights?

I quit reading Dr. Kay Scarpetta books by Patricia Cornwell because it was always dark, dreary, and rainy.  Why can’t the sun shine?  Why can’t it be warm?

I quit watching a lot of TV because I finally realized I was investing a lot of my time watching about people that don’t exist live a life that isn’t real.  Reading fiction is the same.  Oh reality TV you say….that is just very contrived….if you want reality TV watch surveillance videos.

Time is finite and as your time dwindles you have to become more selective about how you spend it.

Does It Jiggle??

Can’t say it enough…..I people watch.  I notice some obese people whose fat jiggles when they walk.  Not really a nice observation to verbalize, but there it is.

So one day I asked Rex to watch me walk toward him and away from him a couple of time.  After he did and I did, I asked if my fat jiggled.

He laughed and said no it doesn’t and actually, I have noticed that before.  Oh, OK, thanks.

This  man  can also take one look at me and tell which bra I am wearing. So I know how sincere and true his comments are—he is VERY observant. I am truly blessed to have a man that still notices me at 60!!  Thanks Rex for being you and in my life!!

Word Economy

“A stitch in time saves nine”

“It takes two to tango”

“In for a penny, in for a pound”

Don’t you just love those sayings?  They say A LOT with very few words.  For example “a stitch in time saves nine”…how true, if you fix a repair, situation, or whatever when you first become aware of the need for action  you will save yourself a lot of time and grief.  Waiting and letting things fester or get bigger is not good for your mental health….don’t put yourself through the stress.

Wow, I got totally off topic!!  I was talking about sayings and how cool it is how much is said with very few words.  My parents must have appreciated then also because I heard some growing up.

My Mother’s favorite--- “Can’t learn any younger”.

My Dad’s favorite (he actually had 2)

1.  Pay attention, you might learn something.

2.  You might as well be useful as well as ornamental.

Word economy—gotta love it!!
