  • ^^^^ Very solid plan indeed! I have an ultimate goal, but my monthly goals are what I focus on. I know I can achieve them, when the total goal seemed impossibly hard at first. Now I am 1/2 way there! Keep with it, even when you occasionally fall.
  • I never understood the "collar bone" comments until this morning, when I realized I could see mine!
  • Before I got serious about a change in lifestyles, I used to grab a Snickers as a snack in the afternoon. Now I bring a mix of cashews and almonds, 28g of each. The total calorie count for the nuts is higher - but, the macro nutritional benefits are far better! Plus, it takes longer to eat the nuts, since I tend to chew…
  • Did your Dr. give you info on the side effects of Lyrica? I only ask because it was like pulling teeth to get my Dr. to give me details about side effects of the thyroid stuff he prescribed, or even when/how to take it - like not to take the multivitamin I take for FOUR HOURS after, or not to take any calcium related foods…
  • Weighed the cashews and almonds I bring for my afternoon snack, instead of 'guesstimating' a serving size. Boy was I way off before! The scale's 28 grams is a lot different than my eyeballing a 1/4 cup! And yet it is still enough to kill off those mid-afternoon blahs.
  • I walk the same route every day - over 14,000 steps in about 80 minutes according to my FitBit. Since it is on a Greenbelt Trail, at the same time each day, I often see the same people. Every body-shape from very fit runners to people like me - out there on the way to getting fit. For me, it is almost an accountability…
  • Kidney Stones. Largest was 9MM. Ouch.

  • "Keaton always said, 'I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him.' Well, I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Keyser Söze." -- Roger "Verbal" Kint Mr. Soze said if I don't say "this" movie he will off me like a rival Hungarian
  • Wait! There's a bar code!!???! Like, for how to behave in a bar? Maybe i wouldn't have been thrown out of so many when I was young had I known this.

  • It has bacon! That cures everything, and trumps pop tarts any day.
  • I like mine oven roasted, with just a touch of oil to keep them from sticking to the cookie sheet. Remember; The green ones are cream filled!
