Friday I went to the doctor. From my last visit (December 28th) to this past Friday I have lost 4 pounds!!! WOO HOO And you know what? It really wasn't all that hard. Oh yeah I have complained some but the new "diet and exercise" routine is going ok. Ok, I'm supposed to think it of a life change or whatever instead of a "diet" so maybe that is what is helping. And my 2 scheduled snacks are a big help in me cutting back on stuffing my face:)
I really don't like veggies that much but found that I do like some of the Green Giant's "Simply Steamed" microwave able veggies pretty good. And you know what? Morning Star's Veggie Burger isn't all that bad. I have put it on a plate and added catsup to it instead of putting it on a bun. I eat it with the steamed veggies.
As far as exercising I have been doing about 20 minutes 5 or 6 days a week. I do those circle the word puzzles while riding my exercise bike. I average about 1 puzzle page per 10 minutes (I'm slow I know). It really helps to get my mind off the fact that I am riding the bike. In case you are wondering (why I don't know, but you might) you can see the bike I bought -- at the same place I got it -- here -->> Kathy's exercise bike
The poll on computer video games in my last entry? I had bought this great sounding game Crime Stories and when I started to play I discovered it was pretty hard. The first part was to get the guy dressed, get his car keys and out of the house. Took me forever, I mean HOURS to get that done. I plug along but don't seem to get anywhere so I search the web for some help. I found a great cheat (as opposed to ordering the answers for $10 -- hey I already paid $20 for the game). Anyway I started reading the cheat and it hits me that I would have NEVER figured out some of the parts by myself. Whoever came up with this game is crazy. Oh I would recommend the game, but I would also recommend you get a cheat printed out and check it when you found yourself stuck for hours on end.
Mom's CT scan didn't show anything. So she will be going to see a Neurologist (?) later this month. We'll see what happens.
Ta for now,
Kathy

(((((((((((((HUGSTOYOU)))))))))))))))I am glad things are going good for you.
Well done on the weight loss!
I say "keep up the great work!" as I snarf down Planter's peanuts. I'm such a lost cause ;)

Congratulations to you! Four pounds is great! I like Morningstar veggie burgers, too. I don't have a problem with my veggies, but I'm not a fruit eater.

Woo Hoo! You are doing it! I'm stuck, but have lost a lot. This is just an impasse. Remind me not to buy that game. My brain is already over-worked. Blessings to you, my friend Penny http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/FromHeretoThere http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/TimeforaLittlePoetry
