Broken Promises
Sunday, November 26th, 2006Another day has passed without me fulfilling my promise to myself to get out and start walking again. Today I will have to do some mall-walking and, if I remember before it’s too late, I am going to meander around the neighborhood. The real trick seems to be remembering to get out and […]
Nothing New - Yet
Sunday, November 26th, 2006This new process of re-evaluating my health habits hasn’t yet gotten too far. I’ve still been eating the things I don’t need, but I’m doing so in moderation and haven’t been snacking as much, so that’s a step in the right direction. I’m hoping that soon I’ll stop testing the waters with that […]
What I’m Thankful For
Friday, November 24th, 2006Yesterday I mentioned that I came up with the best reason to be thankful. At dinner, my family traditionally gives thanks for something before we break into the meal, and I normally have quite a difficult time coming up with something. This year I was inspired and came up with a really good […]
Something Different
Friday, November 24th, 2006This year, I managed not to stuff myself so much at Thanksgiving dinner that I felt like exploding. Nor did I nibble while cooking or eat a lot of the turkey while cleaning up after dinner. I haven’t really broken into the leftovers much, either. Something is different with me recently because […]
Sure I Will…
Friday, November 24th, 2006I didn’t quite make it out for that evening walk yesterday; by the time we finished eating dinner and I cleaned up it was nearly 8:00pm and I was so tired I couldn’t see straight. Unfortunately, I didn’t go walking again today, but I’m going to make a point of going out in the […]
Turkey Trot
Thursday, November 23rd, 2006My aerobic exercise today will consist of the walk around the kitchen and the trek to the Thanksgiving table. Weight-lifting will come in the form of heaving the fifteen pound bird into the oven and out again, carrying the bird-laden tray to the table, and heaving huge trash bags out this evening.
I’ve always considered […]
A Food Addict’s Dream
Thursday, November 23rd, 2006Thanksgiving. A day when calories don’t count and we’re encouraged to eat constantly from sunup to sundown. When we are able to stuff ourselves to the point where we need to loosen our belts and lie down to have a nap after dinner. The perfect day for a food addict.
My memories of […]
Happy Thanksgiving
Thursday, November 23rd, 2006While I realize that there are probably quite a few people around the world who don’t celebrate Thanksgiving today, I want to wish everyone a good day. I hope that you are all able to spend at least some part of today with someone special to you.
My family, like many others, has the tradition of […]
The World Now
Monday, November 20th, 2006This past election season was both exciting and disappointing for me. I took the next step in the process and actually ran for office, but only came in a respectable third in the primary, so I was out of the running before the race got interesting. The bigger disappointment to me was the […]
Off the Deep End
Monday, November 20th, 2006This year, I didn’t even make the starting line of that 5k for which I was training. I was doing so well in the weeks leading up to the event and I was jogging nearly the entire 3.5 mile route each morning without stopping until, for some reason, I woke up one morning and […]
