New Exercise

I came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought I'd pass it on. The article suggested doing it three days a week. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb. potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides, and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, then relax. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks. Then 50-lb. potato sacks, and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. Once you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

I've been doing it wrong!

Thanks Judy

Bring it on!

Oh well, it was close. I had a few setbacks and didn't meet my goal. I did lose 3 pounds. I don't really like the word lose, I like to say "got rid of". So bring on the advice, I promise to read it, I can't however promise to heed it! Love you all!

Food Inhaler

Food is to sustain life, not to give pleasure! It's not about comfort. There has to be a formula that I'm missing that will make me GET IT! When I decided to quit smoking, and it was the fourth or fifth time, there was the greatest invention out called a Nicotrol Inhaler. I could not have done it without this clever little device (and of course God). Now with my dieting, all I'm looking for is some type of food inhaler that maybe tastes like whatever I'm wanting at any given time. I'm pretty sure this would get me through the day without just wanting to gorge myself on something (like pizza). I mean good grief, we can go to the moon, converse in minutes across a continent, what is so hard about making a small thing to make MY life easier? If any of you should come across one, send it to me please, if you don't come across one, could one of you please invent it! Meanwhile I'll just keep going at it the old fashion way. So far I'm doing pretty good this week. I will let you know my results on Monday. If for some reason you don't hear from me on Monday, you might want to check with the authorities.
