I had a wellness check yesterday - a very puzzling one. In the past, she has always insisted that I'm on the verge of immediate physical breakdown despite the fact that I feel well and strong and healthy (considering my age and general condition of sloth that is). Yesterday I went in, determined to take charge and not let her brow-beat me. Some ( Read more... )

It was a bit on the high side, which wasn't really much of a surprise after 3 days of Thanksgiving pie ... and a week without oatmeal & cinnamon ( Read more... )

It's been almost seven weeks since I learned of the results of my recent blood test. In these past 46 days, I've lost about 15 pounds. That's approximately 2 pounds a week, the safe, 'recommended' loss rate. That's pretty good, right? Time to rejoice, to celebrate, maybe have a piece of candy. I've lost the weight ( Read more... )
