Been a while

How do you know you have not blogged in a while? The site changes the look and feel completely and you were totally oblivious to it.

Things have been insane at work... on many levels. Anyway, hopefully a bit calmer now.

Have embarked on weight loss campaign. I tried the WeightWatchers method... for a day. Mind you, I did not want to fork over $20 a month, so I got hold of the calculators and tried to do it that way. Nope, not for me. There is absolutely no way that I will be calculating how many points all of my foods have. It's either not worry about the point value at all or eat on the 0 points side. I'm guessing that if you actually pay the money, they give you easier methods.

So, back to eating the good carb/bad carb way. Basically, no bread, pasta, rice, or potatos. All of them make me sick anyway. Now, if I could only eliminate sugar. So far so good on this approach. Not sure if I lost any weight, but my tummy is smaller (less bloating), so that has to be good.

I thought I'd get the Women's Health book of exercises. It's like a bible of exercise. But when I got to the store and looked at it, I realized that I can't just look at a book while I attempt some of these contortions (most of which require a home gym). So, I got Jillian Michael's DVD instead. I was only able to do one circuit of it. She kills me. Was in pain for three days after. Have not done it since, but I realize that I do need to. Sigh. Yoga just no longer cuts it, though I still love it.
