This is my daily lament!  I think when God created food, the Devil got busy and invented calories.

I have to have a talk with my mother about this, because when I chauffered her to her music class last week, she had a lot of trouble getting out of the car. It would be a pity if she couldn't go anyplace because she can't get in and out of the car. Her muscles are atrophying because she doesn't use them. And no, I'm not going to pull her out of cars and have her lean on me to walk, that's just ridiculous!!

My mother was like this. She never exercised, never even walked, and eventually could hardly get around. When there's a choice of an escalator or elevator vs. stairs to go up (or especially down) a floor or two, I tell my kids that if you don't take the stairs you eventually won't be able to take the stairs.

LOL Chuck!

They're all good!   


Love the name of that cartoonist. Glasbergen means "the glass mountains" in Swedish.

So here goes!

I bought orthotic gel inserts at CVS for my shoes and I'm going out for my first walk/jog right now.  I'm posting it here so that I have to come back and post how I did.  Accountability.

The plan (should I not return - Ronny/Paul/Andrew  ) is to take West Springfield to Tremont, go east on Tremont, to Rutland.  From Rutland, I am going north (toward Copley) back to Columbus and home.

Baby steps.  But I bet it takes me 30-45 minutes, which is what I'm after.

Work it, Lynne!

I'm still working on the Fat Smash diet......progress is slow at the mo.....but I'm still eating right and exercising.  5 pounds in 5 days.....can't complain.

I should have more drop off soon.

Avoid the cobble stone.  Watch where you step.   No sprinting.   Dress warmly.

Today was the first day since late November when I put on my corduroy pants and they fit comfortably around the waist. I'm jazzed!!

Also I'd like to pass along a lunch tip. I've learned to make sandwiches with no bread. Two cucumber, parsnip or turnip slices with filling in between...I use spicy guacamole. It makes a tasty, filling, healthy sandwich!!
