dysmetabolic syndrome x and high blood pressure
I went to the doctors yesterday and got those 2 things written as a diagnosis. This syndrome is nothing new but I thought it was just called pre-diabetes. I think it's the same thing?

almost out of calories!!!!
I had some "extra" things in my diet today. I really wasn't aware of how many calories there were in those "innocent" extras. My question is I only have 35 calories left today.

zumba gold
I just wanted to share that I recently joined a zumba gold class this month. It's only once per week right now but I'm told if I feel I need more once I'm used to doing that on a regular basis, there is more classes available to me. This is a far cry from where I use to be before I had my children. It's also very humbling…

logging in is so time consuming
I am just not sure that I want to continue this route. I find that I'm avoiding logging in food, exercise, etc because it's so time consuming! How does everybody else handle this? I would literally be logging in maybe 10 or more times a day and that's too much.
