I can’t believe I wrote about this a little over a year ago, but this just showed up again on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and I thought it was so ironic that nothing had really changed in all that time that I thought I’d write abut it again.
It looks as though the decision on whether Pennsylvania [...]

Most people tend to think of the calendar year as January through December.  Around here we don’t use the standard calendar and instead our year goes something like this…

New Year’s Day.  Say goodbye to our favorite foods.  Diet starts tomorrow

Daycare.  Pre-School.  Elementary School.  All of them are just giant petri dishes of sickness.  Colds, chicken pox, strep throat, etc.  I don’t know about your kids, but mine really dislike getting a throat culture done to test for Strep, plus it takes too long for the result.  I know they now have a rapid test, [...]

So far, so good.  No cheating.  No huge desires for sugar any more.  Results after 1 week - down 13 pounds.  Not too bad.  You have to like the first week where you lose some water weight along with the rest.  As much as I still don’t like it I am exercising 5 days a [...]

Putting Christmas behind me

Each year the build up to Christmas seems to increase. Stores seem to decorate for Christmas earlier and earlier. I don’t get suckered in to it very often, but I can honestly say I’m glad it’s over. Once Christmas day is done I look forward to taking down all of the decorations [...]
