The value of CK
Friday, August 7th 2009
What do we get from CK? Of course, our food database, nutrients and calorie contents of hundreds of foods we don't have to search through volumes for. A diary that adds up all our calories and water and steps and nutrients. Articles and info to educate us as we strive not only for weight loss but to learn how to live healthier lives. There's lots here -- that's why we pay our dues, right?But the one thing of most value to me is the Community. Friends mirror back to me what I've though...
Keeping up
Monday, August 3rd 2009
I haven't properly exercised in the last two weeks. I know I have a few friends who might be aghast to read that, friends who run/exercise/Wii to the max. I really admire those folks, but I also accept that I'm not one of them.When we went camping weekend before last, I climbed hills to get back to camp from the beach or to get to the easy trail (!!!)

Last night I ate almost a whole sleeve of RITZ CRACKERS, and that's at least half of the calories I'm allowed in a day. I could have had a 200 calorie snack, I had that many left at the end of the day. I would have gone to sleep and dreamed of green checks all night.Uh-oh. I've got to rein it in.

HOT!
Tuesday, July 28th 2009
Hot! it's hot here!I was born and raised in Georgia, land of southern heat which starts in April in ends in early November. Hot land. (Oooohhh, maybe that's why they nickname the city Hotlanta!) I didn't know it when I was growing up though. Oh, I knew when we were having a hot day or many hot days; I knew our summers were hot; I thought I knew what hot was.
