If you THINK healthy, you will BE thin. For me it all boiled down to learning, and listening, and googleing and doing.......and thinking…

An Silly Observation
Last night a friend posted some pictures of the Ohio wildlife. She laughed because it was a squirrel and a few deer. So this morning I am sitting in the Sun Room, drinking my coffee, looking out the window. I have a fence close by and I see birds land on it, then fly away. Not pretty birds, those black things and gray…

Do NOT give up!
I started here last year after 2 years of feeling sorry for myself. When the doctor advised me I would be on cholesterol medicine for the rest of my life for a level over 300, and gave me the list of side effects of the meds including liver damage (my mom died of liver disease at 54) I decided to get off my *kitten* and do…

BMI using pants size too
http://www.webmd.com/diet/calc-bmi-plus I found this website that uses your pants size along with weight and height to give your BMI. I believe this is much more accurate.

The difference a year makes.
Last year I went with my husband to Virginia and DC. We had a wonderful time, riding horses, walking the streets of Washington. One day we were driving and I saw a sign for a waterfall.
