View MOUGHI's food & exercise for this day
I started reading the Beck Diet Solution last night. I haven't been able to put the book down. It is a tough book to read a lot of pages through at one time because after a few pages I just stop and start thinking about just how in a few words she has changed my thinking process. So much of what I have learned already this past year is covered in this book. The questions I ask, the things I have said and thought. It is as if this lady has read my thoughts and written a book. Then I realized, no, I just am a typical person like everyone here at Ck who is probably experiencing the same things when it comes to overcoming and succeeding at weight loss. We may all come from different backgrounds, but we all have that one thing in common, human nature and the weakness thereof. I can't wait to get through this book.
Yesterday when I was at my endro doctor he took me off one of my cholesterol drugs and decreased the dosage of the remaining one. This is what I have been working for. WE will re-test in six weeks to see what my levels are. In a way it eaves me happy that I am off one of 20 meds. On the other hand, it is scary because now I know I can't mess up on my diet an exercise routine. I had lost 13 pounds since the last time I was in his office and he was impressed. ( 6 weeks ago ). The doctor and nurses told me my face was beginning to show more weight loss. Good, I'm hoping my face will thin up a bit more. I wonder how much if any will the skin under my neck will go?
Had another MUA today, so I need to go sleep. Talk to everyone tomorrow. Night all.

Lory, Your dog is adorable and yes my little dog (Rex) is part rat terrior and the the taco bell dog ( can't never spell that word) he is dear head I think; and the bigger dog is his son (Buddy). We had the mother dog and she was fixed on June 8 and died on June 9th last yr. We miss her so much she was a
****zu-poodle. We love animals. My daughter's baby is also the cat; Pepper.... I am hoping, praying an trying to loose; this weigh kills the left ankle I broke in 2003and all that weight on my right knee with the crutches; it has not been right since. Please do drop in anytimes and iw ll check your blog also. thanks for the comment and info. Yah for being dropped ona medicine.

Hi Lory: I love the new photos of you.
:y: What great progress you've made! Excellent to get off a med! Thanks for the book recommendation. Your description of the Beck Diet Solution book is compelling -- I've placed a copy on hold at my library and look forward to reading it.

I've been enjoying the book too. It's really made me look at some of bad habits (besides nighttime nibbling) that I thought I was okay with--like eating sitting down. If you had asked me two weeks ago if I ever eat standing I'd have said "No way." Well, I apparently do! congrats on getting off one med and reducing another! That's a savings of money and time too! Happy Resting!

You are so funny. Evidently the exercise agrees with you!! The grout guy told me to use diluted ammonia/hot water to clean the tile and nothing else. I haven't tried it since he told me (obviously!) the tile guy, however, told me to use white vinegar & water. The grout guy said vinegar will break down the grout over time...so who knows, I would think ammonia would --- and P.U.!!!
