Weekend Stories Part 2
My weekend was bad--just bad. No riding. Felt bad most of weekend. Hot and humid here, and I mean HOT AND HUMID. Just gross. And WINDY on top of that. Church functions both days, which are fun but mean FOOD (and desserts, although I did only have 1/2 a brownie Saturday). Yesterday, I ate too much sodium laden-stuff, too at…

Mmmm I smell donuts....
I've been craving a donut for the past two weeks and of course this morning my supervisor pops her head around the corner and chips "Hot donuts in the conference room!"

A small victory
Today I had my usual mini lunch....a smart ones frozen entree with some added veggies, and a glass of green tea. The strangest thing happened about 3/4 through my meal. I felt full.

Cholesterol down 60 pts thru diet and exercise
First...If you have not had your cholesterol checked recently-do so. It is very important we know what is IN our bodies. Mine went up due to early onset menopause, and most women do not know that the lowered estrogen in our bodies increases our cholesteral levels. The main reason I started on this journey was for my…
