A little off topic...
It's not right, this feeling you have. You aren't sure when it came to this. Maybe weeks ago, maybe much longer. All you know is, this feeling is not right. You call. The other person doesn't answer. You wait for a return call and eventually it comes, but it's hours later. Maybe even days later. You ask why the person…

Alright the last three weeks I lost 6lbs, this week I think I've gained about 2lbs back. I've been following my diet, if anything I haven't been eating enough maybe. I've been working out fairly hard, been packing 60lb pack four times a week four miles each time. Plus been doing some calisthenics on the side. I would think…

Quitting smoking...
Okay, so I've decided that it's time for me to quit smoking. I've cut down to 4-5 cigarettes a day to start weaning myself off of the nicotine slowly. I've contacted my doctor about starting the prescription, Chantix, to help me as well. I know I can do it...if I can find the willpower to exercise and count 1200 calories a…

Triumph!
I had a retreat this weekend with some friends out on a beautiful ranch in the Texas hill country. It was an overnight, Sunday to Monday. Sunday is usually my "day of rest" when it comes to this new lifestyle; I don't count calories or worry about a workout. I knew we were going to have lots of junk food and sweets and…

Hard one
An old man woke up in the middle of the night and found, to his utter astonishment, that his pecker was as hard as a rock for the first time in two years. He shook his wife by the shoulder until she woke up and showed her his enormous boner. "You see that thing, woman?" he happily exclaimed. "What do you think we ought to…

I think we have the flu!
:sad: I just want to cry! I'm a big baby when it comes to being sick! My two year old boy got it first. I'm about two days behind him, so I am able to watch him and see what I'm about to go through. It's so hard to see your kids going through something like the flu. We have been sick so many times this year. I think I have…

How do I say it politely?
I am getting really tired of people pushing cakes and cookies and junk on me, and getting offended when I say “no thank you, I am on a diet.” People say, “you look fine, you don’t need to lose weight, one piece won’t hurt you, or tomorrow is a new day.” Or they say, “You don’t need to diet, just eat right and exercise.”…

Drinking water?
Does drinking water really make that big of a difference? I drink water but not the recommended eight glasses. Would that make that big of a difference?

A couple of laughs
Honey A teacher was working with a group of children, trying to broaden their horizons through sensory perception. She brought in a variety of lifesavers and said, "Children, I'd like you to close your eyes and taste these." The kids easily identified the taste of cherries, lemons and mint, but when the teacher gave them…

The Broken Mower
The Broken Mower When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, playing golf - always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived…

exercise and exhaustion
I started exercising about 3 weeks ago on my treadmill and stationary bike. I figured that by now I wouldn't be so tired all of the time. It seems like the more I workout the more tired I am. I walk 40 minutes on the treadmill at 3mph and 15 minutes on the bike at 12mph. Is this to much??? Is that why I am so tired??

Now that was with three days of excercise and 30 minutes a day. I've been doing a lot more then that and burning a whole lot…
