Synchronicity
Saturday, February 27, 2010      9 comments

Synchronicity is kind of like coincidence, but a little more mysterious, at least I think of it that way. "Events that seem related, but are not obviously caused one by the other," is how the Encarta Dictionary explains it. Yesterday aftern... Read more
Challenge Met!
Friday, February 26, 2010      9 comments

I just finished a 7 mile bike ride. The weather was chilly, but I got warmed up pretty quickly. At the beginning of February I saw a challenge on the message boards and signed up. Many of the people committed to hundreds of miles, but in good Sp... Read more

Thursday, February 25, 2010      4 comments

Today I am so thankful that I can maintain a healthy weight through eating healthy food in reasonable amounts and by being active. But it wasn't always that way. I've previously shared the most dangerous things I've done to lose weight (frozen c... Read more
A Wiser Body
Wednesday, February 24, 2010      14 comments

I read on two other blogs of maintainers that their body lets them know when they've overeaten. One really got sick. I've got to say I've noticed a little of that, too. When I weighed 210+ pounds I hardly ever had indigestion. My body adjus... Read more
Just Two Days This Time
Tuesday, February 23, 2010      10 comments

After my company left, I stepped on the scale and found myself 3 pounds over my target weight. Although that amount might have been a fluctuation, I knew I had overdone it a bit. So I decided to cut back to the low end of my calorie range. The ... Read more
Sweetener Withdrawal
Monday, February 22, 2010      6 comments

I read back in December on SparkPeople that the recommended amount of artificial sweetener per day is no more than the equivalent of four packets. I knew I used way over that amount and have for years and years. For the month of December I... Read more

"You've got brains in your heads, you've got feet in your shoes. You can go any direction you choose." -Dr. Seuss As I rode my bike 7 miles along the Fort Frazier Trail on a glorious, sunny central Florida day, I read the quotations o... Read more
One Week Streak!

Today's Feature: New Definition of Old
Friday, February 19, 2010      6 comments

Today's Feature on SparkPeople had a wonderful quote, "We think Webster should highlight 'old' with words such as 'courage, wisdom, athletic and perseverance.' " The article had a great write up about the Senior Olympics. I'd never thought about... Read more
Have You Taken the Real Age Test?
Wednesday, February 17, 2010      13 comments

For me it was a real boost when I needed one. It said that my real age is 51.1 which is 9.6 years below my chronological age. I bet you can find it if you just google on "Real Age" or sometimes I see banners on the SparkPeople site adverti... Read more

Eating Grapefruit for Free with a Smile on my Face
Saturday, February 13, 2010      11 comments

My daughter doesn't like grapefruit, and neither does her husband. They rent a home about a half mile from my house with a tree that is just covered with huge grapefruits. Their loss is my gain. I just harvested a dozen, and already ate two! Oka... Read more

My Favorite Greeting Card of All Time
Thursday, February 11, 2010      13 comments

My sister gave me my favorite greeting card of all times. It was probably 1987. A glossy luscious golden brown chocolate chip cookie filled the front portion. In ornate font it said, "Sister, If there was only one chocolate chip cookie left in t... Read more
