Choose My Plate

Found a very interesting site while I was helping my daughter coupon.  Wanted to share it with everyone.  Even if you don’t need to lose any weight everyone should be interested in eating healthier.  Choose My Plate is a government run web site.  Now, I am not interested in the Government telling me what to eat or how to live but I do like getting the info I want easily to live healthier.

You can pick up this great little book at the Pharmacy desk at your local Publix.  It has some really good high dollar coupons that you can combine with manufacture coupons for even better savings.

Since I have decided to start recording my progress on my weight loss I have had just the opposite situation.  I have GAINED weight.  I have had absolutely no self-control.  I have had no desire to put that coke down or those chips.  And I have had an addiction to chocolate like never before.  I know it’s a mental thing but I am going to have to re-think this weight loss thing.

I haven’t been working on the diet thing lately.  Took two weeks off because I was sick as a dog and then another week because of some health issues.  Everything seems to be back the way it should be now and I am feeling better than I have felt in a while.  I did revert however and am back up about 8 lbs.  I have been walking for the last week and a half and am really starting to feel better.

To Pierce or Not to Pierce!!!

That is the question plaguing so many teens and parents today. I would have to say it’s right up their with should I or shouldn’t I get a tattoo. I personally have had a piercing and I have tattoos. I don’t see anything wrong with either as long as you make the choice yourself and don’t allow peer pressure to influence you. Their is nothing worse than seeing the same 6″ cross on a guys chest that every other guy in the room has. That goes the same for all these girls who seem to think it’s cool to have angle wings tattooed on their back. Please, like they are anything close to being angles. But I digress.

Weight Loss…What Loss???

Posted in Just a Thought, Public Issues tagged , , , at 9:00 pm by careenw

I know this is Valentine’s Day and we just had New Years and all those pesky resolutions but it’s time to discuss something that everyone is talking about.  The reason for this need is because no matter how much we talk about it we don’t really do anything about it.  At least we don’t do anything that will really work long term.  Most of us are what is known as yoyo dieters.
