Llamas?
Thursday, August 23rd 2007
Maybe one reason we're so taken with the llamas is that we haven't had any animals of our own in a long time now. And the main reason is that since we haven't had any dogs in particular the property has become something of wildlife hangout and we get a different kind of pleasure from that. And no vet bills.The past few mornings at least two does and their fawns have been in and around the yard. A couple of times I've stepped out and almost gagged on the strong smell of 'livestock'.

Bloomin' Onions and Llamas
Wednesday, August 22nd 2007
We're moving up our first jaunt to The Great New York State Fair to tomorrow to avoid the heat and humidity predicted for Friday. This presents the question of how count the calories should we have our annual bloomin' onion. I found a source that listed 1700 calories for one without the sauce but I knock off at least half of the coating so I'm not sure what to do. I'm tempted to pass on the bloomin' onion but I think The Mister would miss it and he certainly can't eat the whole thing by himse...
Ode to an Arch Sleeve
Tuesday, August 21st 2007
I saw a posting about plantar fasciitis the other day and since my weight loss has become obvious, people have been asking me how I've done it.I would not have been nearly as successful if it weren't for these arch sleeves. One reason I gained the weight in the first place was because I had so much heel pain, in my left foot in particular, that I'd drastically reduced my walking/hiking/snowshoeing over the last few years.
I'd tried custom orthotics and all kinds of shoe inserts but n...
Tick Tock
Monday, August 20th 2007
Chilly this morning, 54º/12º, and we left the house open last night. It's hard to type; I don't want to put my warm coffee mug down.I now have 10 pounds to go to reach my personal goal. 10 pounds or 6 weeks, whichever comes first. I'm ready to be done with this and I want to establish a 'maintenance' diet before the weather changes.
And the weather is beginning to change. The birds know it. The hummingbirds are chubbing up at the feeders and the agastache rupestris. ...
Now They Tell Me
Saturday, August 18th 2007
I guess it's my own fault; if I'd done CKU at THE BEGINNING I wouldn't have been confused on this point."The general recommendation is that 40-60 percent of your calories come from carbohydrates. At 1200 calories, you should aim for around 40 percent (120g per 1200 calories), and at 2500 calories, aim for around 60 percent (345g per 2500 calories)."
So it turns out the targets that the CK Diet and Exercise Manager have set for me are accurate and the note I get in the online...
