Changes

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...
Surprise, Surprise

My husband never says much about my weight one way or another. I guess I'd rather have it that way than have him nagging me when I gain. I've told him how much I've lost every five pounds so he's known I'm down 20 pounds and that I consider the next pound a big deal. (I don't actually mention what I weigh primarily because I know my scale isn't accurate and it only gives me a relative idea of where I am.)So I was absolutely gobsmacked last night when he gave me a little package to celeb...
Hot and Hazy
Thursday, August 2nd 2007
It's gonna be a scorcher. Fortunately the humidity isn't bad so it's still possible to do some light chores outside with frequent breaks for large glasses of ice water.My little lapse on Monday has cost me. After all the raspberry seeds I've been eating, the peanuts at the baseball game on an empty stomach, followed by more berries when I got home, were too much. Whatever my underlying IBS problem is, it was a problem on the past couple of days. Maybe it's a good thing; I've finally sc...
