Adventure in the Grocery Aisles

Ever since I began living a healthier lifestyle, grocery shopping has become a time-consuming adventure. Even though I’m a fairly fast reader, skimming through all the fine-print nutrition information on food packages takes time. You can’t believe anything you read on the rest of the package label; I hope the nutrition information is at least close.

Weird Day

The day started out rather well, with a few chores then a great swim and workout at the Sherwood YMCA pool. I picked up a Subway sandwich on the way home and, after lunch, I took my morning pills.

Comes the Revolution?

I understand totally why all these people are marching in the streets. What I don’t understand is why they’ve come to the party so late. Where were they when the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were started to suck billions into the purses of greedy contractors?

Attitude

Our T.O.P.S. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Club members are given an assignment every week to follow through and report at the next meeting.

Good Vibes

I’m feeling pretty good today. Sunday I had a wonderful visit with my son. Then my daughter called to say she’ll be taking a week trip with her best friend. Their husbands can’t get away, so the two of them will be visiting her friend’s relatives in Texas.

Lunch with my Kaiser weight loss program friends yesterday was very enjoyable.… click here to continue
