My friend, Jim Smith, The Executive Happiness Coach, has a post on his blog titled “Happiness and Guilt” and below it is a blank page.  The message was that if you fall prey to guilt, you aren’t happy.  I feel truly guilty that I haven’t been here to at least be a cheerleader support y’all.  I have [...]

The Kay is still on overload and it’s getting worse instead of better.  I am exhausted a lot while seemingly accomplishing nothing.  Saw the endocrinologist Friday and the internist last week.  The former put me on cholesterol meds and took me off my thyroid meds.  He also had me schedule a scan on my thyroid to take a look at the [...]

Last week was pretty disastrous exercise-wise after hectic Hall of Fame Week!   The funny part is I weighed myself for the first time in a month and I lost five pounds.  I wonder how I managed that with the pigging out I did during the festival.  It’s been a busy, stressful week and that means my left [...]

If y’all have read my blog, you know it’s the silly season for my town.  Me being me and my friends being my friends believe that we’re not too old for this stuff so it’s a busy week here and I’m trying to keep up with everything and work and get the prep work done [...]

I finally got a pedometer but . . . I haven’t gotten in th habit of using it yet! I was pretty good with my diet except when I went to the medieval faire (see my blog for the tale and photos on that) but walking around all day probably offset that.  I’m sure we walked a [...]

I was away for 6 days for a vacation of sorts as you know.  However, I did get some walking in — a mile or so every day.  I ate too much though.  The Man is a freak about eating full three meals a day and I’m not.  I’m a small meals kind of gal, e.g.: [...]

I’m mostly watching my diet and reassessing my vitamin regimen.  I walk as much as possible (I keep forgetting to buy a pedometer).  I  work part-time in an old church where our office is on the second floor with no elevator which means I’m up and down the steep steps countless times a day greeting our [...]

With my shoulder aching it slowed me down a lot.  I tried a few things my physical therapist taught me after my stroke and it helped. It’s finally better but is still achy at times so I’m off the weights for a bit longer.  It’s been chilly all week — not like June at all!  I’m gonna ask [...]

I’m putting the hand weights away for a while.  My left shoulder is sore which indicates a problem so I’m going to see if it gets better if I stop the weights.  My ibuprofen bottle is my best friend.  I’ve been better about eating my veggies and having regular meals.  Some setbacks and some triumphs.  [...]
