I like Obama. He has been my top pick ever since I heard him on NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!" I love that show! Obama rocked, BTW!

We got a little white kitten and my kids named it Snowball, but when the kitten developed brown and grey calico spots, my kids renamed it "Dirty Snowball."

We also had a cat that showed up on our back patio that we named Thomas P. Kitty. The "P" stands for patio.

4 people (2 couples) I know met through e-harmony and eventually married. They are really happy and seem well-suited for each other.

Motivation Gym Dropout Jul 23 2007

I am just glad to know that someone else has fizzled on the gym visits. I was going to the gym 6 out of 7 days. Then last week, I did not even show up at the gym once. I truly do not undrstand it myself.

I hope I will gather my motivational tidbits and head for the gym tomorrow.

I am soooooo with you in this! I had a horrible week. I was out of town at a conference where I ate the wrong foods, plus I got no exercise either. Then when I got home, my thought process was that it is the weekend, so I would get back on track on Monday.

A lot of damage can be done in a week. My clothes are tight again and I feel like a failure.

But tomorrow is a new day. Mondays are fresh starts. Good luck with your fresh start!

Health & Support Anyone on Prednisone? Jul 06 2007

Yesterday I took my last dose of prednisone for poison ivy. Yes, it does keep you from losing weight! I have never worked harder to count calories, drink water, and exercise; yet, I weigh exactly the same that I did when I started it. Maybe, in a way, maintenance IS progress! At least I did not gain any weight.

By the way, be certain that you taper off the steroid. The side effects can be brutal if you stop suddenly.
Weight Loss Alli pills Jul 05 2007

My husband (who loves a gimmick!) bought the Alli package. He is exercising and counting fat grams. Well, if he eats a meal that has a lot of fat, the results are pretty gross. He really ends up with a stomach ache.

And...interestingly enough, Alli claims that if you are doing what it takes to lose 10 pounds, Alli can help you lose 15 pounds. Well, that is not such a great loss. In other words, for every pound, he could lose an extra half of a pound--if he is eating right and exercising, too.

Plus they are very expensive.
