It’s been ages. My last post was five years ago - but that was a private post. The last time I posted publicly was six and a half years ago. Every year, posting here was one of my New Year’s resolutions. I wanted to post the first day of the year, but the longer I went without posting, the more I altered my goals to just posting at all. Last year ( Read more... )

I was standing in our room a couple of weeks ago, and I suddenly turned to Mike, and said "Oh my God, it's almost three months until the wedding." I've kind of been in a steadily escalating panic ever since then. I think Mike's starting to join me. Mike marvelled today that we have less than three months to go and when I broke down exactly how many ( Read more... )

I had my first doctor's appointment in ten years last week (and when Mike told the doctor about that they both kind of laughed/shuddered.)I have this really weird habit that when I'm nervous or get agitated I start smiling a lot. The first thing I did after I found out my father died was start laughing. All throughout my talk with the doctor I just ( Read more... )

I definitely didn't plan on picking a third wedding date. When we changed it the first time, we discussed it and even though I was the one that picked out the date, Mike gave the okay and I really liked the idea of having our honeymoon on Valentine's Day. But Jean came to us the other day and she said that she thought we should change the date ( Read more... )

Happy Almost New Year!

I don't plan on making any resolutions to own any good smelling leather pants (anyone who watched Friends should get that reference. ;) But since I was finally able to keep my resolution last year, I thought I would make a few more this year. I'll hang on to my resolution from last year - to lose weight. Though I will amend ( Read more... )

Like so many others, over the years I've constantly made a New Year's resolution to try and lose weight. Most years I fail miserably and don't even get to the point to even start trying to lose weight. I've lost weight a few times before, but this year feels different. It probably helps that I got to a weight that I found unacceptable (almost 200 ( Read more... )

I've always used Clorox bleach spray to clean the kitchen and clean Michael and my bathroom. I didn't use it at first. I used regular bathroom cleaner and this machine that machine bought to get rid of mold. But neither of those worked for the mold in our shower, but the Clorox does, for the most part. So I use it all the time. But I'm always ( Read more... )

After the first time I weighed myself, I didn't do it again right because my monthly visitor had arrived and I didn't want any bloating to affect the results. We exercised at our gym last week and we used the scale at Gold's, but the scale is the same as the one they use in doctor's offices and neither Michael and I really trust those. But we used ( Read more... )

I've basically been trying to lose weight for four years. I'd exercised and "dieted" before but that was when I got serious about it and kept up with exercising. I haven't had complete success with it. When I first started, I did lose 20 pounds but then gained it back. And there was another time when I lost about ten pounds, but again I gained it ( Read more... )
