Is There Another Marathon In My Future?

I need to lose weight desperately. I also need to get into shape desperately. As I mentioned in my previous post, one look at my vacation pictures reminded me that I am not a pretty picture right now. I am involved with a charity right now and got an email today mentioning they were wanting to sign up people to do the local marathon and half marathon to raise money for the cause. Hello! Training for a half marathon, in my case, would take care of both of my goals. I did three full marathons a decade ago for another charity and know what fun it is. The more I think about it, the more I might do it again. But just the half marathon this time, as the route in my city is very tough. I will have to ponder this some more, but it is appealing. In the meantime, I need to lose weight. I am still wondering does alli work? I will have to ask my pharmacist.

Need To Up My Beauty Routine

I just looked at my pictures from my cruise, and yuck--do I look bad. Some of this may be taken care of when I lose weight, but I feel like I need to pay more attention to my beauty routine. I used to be so good at it, and then law school and the bar exam.....and you know where I am going with that. It was a good day if I could get dressed during bar exam study, so you know I didn't have a lot of extra time for beauty routines. Maybe I will look int arcona and see what that has to offer. I think it is good to vary your beauty routine every so often.

Devastated. Mass You Let Us Down

Massachusetts, what is wrong with you? You have your healthcare, but you won't let the rest of us have ours. Shame on you. You let Ted Kennedy and the rest of us down. Please dems, take this as a wake up call. I know we are diverse, and harder to corral than repubs, but we must hold our place. It is too scary to think of what will happen if we don't. The only saving grace is that Brown seems a lot better than Palin. Maybe he will prick a hole in her balloon.

Massachusetts--Don't Let Us Down: Vote Dem

Please Massachusetts: carry the torch and vote dem tomorrow. Everyone in the country has a dog in this fight. I know Coakley may not have asked for your vote, said the wrong thing about the ball player, yadda, yadda, yadda. Please see past this and vote Dem tomorrow. Our healthcare depends on it. We are depending on you!

Gonna Get My Exercise

I really love treadmills. I especially love them now that they have individual TVs on them at the Y. I love to go over there and watch one of my favorite programs. I like to watch hour programs, so that I will stay on the treadmill that long! I need to start going more often, so I can burn my calories, and see my body tighten. I have no excuse--I just haven't been going. But as soon as I get back from vacation, I will be over there hopefully almost every night.

Warding The Flu Away

I spent New Year's Eve in New England. Brr, it was cold! Coming back, my planes got delayed with increased security and such, and I missed my connection. Luckily, the airline put me up in a hotel, but I didn't get enough sleep. I felt terrible by the time I got home, and all the next day. I was very tired, felt all stuffed up, and achy. Oh no, the flu I thought. I can't get sick because we don't have sick days (cheapskates) and I am going on a cruise in a couple of days. I needed a quick flu cure. I tried respiratory guard lozenges. http://www.respiratoryguard.com/
They are elderberry flavored, which is unusual but good, and the claim is they are supposed to boost your immunity--helping to prevet the flu and fight the symptoms. I took a couple in the morning and at night for several days in a row, and I feel amazing today! No more snufffles, and actually no more aches either. I have a lot of respiratory ailments every year, so I am going to keep these in mind. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but these lozenges seemed to work. I'll take them again!

Going On A Cruise--Doing A Quick Diet

I am heading on a cruise on Saturday. No, I am not packed, and I am still overweight. I will start packing in a few minutes, and I did go on a quick diet The four-day diet. I am on day two. Unfortunately, my fourth day will be the day that I am flying to my port. But, oh well. Supposed to lose 5-10 pounds from this. That would be great. You eat healthy food, but the diet claims it is not nutritionally sound (probably too few calories) so you are not supposed to do it more than once a month. But to me, that is doable. For the first time, I really feel psyched again about losing weight.
