To the END

Over the last few years I've vacillated between being "obese" and "over weight", never making it to "normal". After I lose a good amount of weight - 30 lbs. or so - I find something in me resisting; and I get obsessive about food --- eating, eating, eating until I've gained most (or all) of the weight back.
As I round the clubhouse turn toward my 60's, it is time to get to a normal weight NOW and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The body parts are starting to creak and rebel for what I ...

As I round the clubhouse turn toward my 60's, it is time to get to a normal weight NOW and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The body parts are starting to creak and rebel for what I have and am putting them through.
I do well when I have a tangible, desirable goal, e.g., taking a trip that requires a lot of walking for which I want to get in shape. Unfortunately, after the trip, I start to slide again. I definitely need to change my goal/reward strategies.

Many thanks for the strawberries, I love them!!! Have you ever had garriguettes? They are some of my favorite French strawberries.

Thank you very much for your comments on my blogs lately! I have struggled to keep my head out of the waters, overwhelmed with work and travels. Now I am enjoying some sparking before going out to visit some gardens (it is National Gardens Days in Paris this weekend, my favourite event of the year!).

Yes, my family history in Algeria has certainly had a big influence on me. Until now, I only saw the sad side of it -- my mother and grandmother huge melancholy at having lost 'their' country... Now I see the positive side, i.e. that I was always enthusiastic at the thought of going to to Africa, and it certainly contributed to my career. It would have been wonderful to write a book about my family history, but unfortunately I have very little information... so writing blogs is better than nothing! :)

Have a great weekend! I hope it won't be too hot (it is quite cool here)!!!

makes two of limping!! I walked the dog Tuesday but nearly did myself in. I am pretty sure I did not break anything in the fall BUT hyperextended the lateral ligaments on the knee and the IT bands - roller over on the ankle and I am having a few ligament issues there.

Sore as heck to touch on the side of the knee will keep icing it and the ankle! I have a regular doctor's appointment next Thursday night SO I will let him assess - pain was bad enough to drive BP up the first couple of days.

Think I am heading for x-rays or an MRI and probably PT
