The Deadline
Monday, August 13th 2007
A couple of days to decide whether or not to renew with CK 9 months early at the old rates. As of this moment I don't think so. I've just spent the last 15 minutes trying to upload a new photo. Phooey.
Brandywine
Sunday, August 12th 2007
The first Brandywine of the season, over one pound of diet-friendly goodness. With a good supply of wonderful homegrown tomatoes I should have no trouble sticking with it for the next few weeks.My hike this morning was marred by the empty verio nest. A friend sent me an e-mail last night to tell me she found the nest empty Friday afternoon. I wasn't really surprised; it looked like an ill-conceived plan from the get-go. But this morning I swear I heard a healthy little begging call fro...
Changes
Saturday, August 11th 2007
I've reached the goal I set for myself before I started CK, the weight range where I was when I turned 50. I still can't quite believe it. I pulled out several pairs of my old jeans last week and tried them on. It was strange to be wearing pants that are so fitted but fit they did. I'd put them away shortly after my weight went over 150 and started wearing looser pants, ubiquitous Blassport things.I am getting tired of the diet regimen but I think I'll stick with it until October 1. I...
"Sicko"
Thursday, August 9th 2007
Does your serum cholesterol go up when you're losing weight? If in fact, I'm 'consuming' almost 2 pounds of animal fat in a week, wouldn't that have some impact on my blood lipids?I feel like I'm living my own version of "Sicko". I went to the doctor's office because I had some lightheadedness and I thought I should check in after 12 weeks of weight loss with another 8 to go. I assumed my blood pressure was low and thought someone could take a look at my diet and tell me if I ...
Hatchlings
Tuesday, August 7th 2007
It's warm and humid but not oppressive so my hike this morning was actually quite pleasant. On Sunday I came across a little nest of newly hatched birds but I didn't have my binoculars or my camera; today I had both so I was able to identify the adult, a red-eyed verio.I hope they manage to stay in the nest. I'm surprised how active they are and without much in the way of control I can see how they could easily tumble out. Actually I thought I saw three on Sunday and today there were d...
