Hi Everyone:

It is a beauoooootiful day! The sun is shining and absolutely gorgeous weather. \:\)

Life is not exceptionally good yet... I need to crank out the last 5 pages of a patent that I thought was finished months ago. I really hate picking up something that was suppose to be finished and revisiting it....

A woman at the alcohol training class talked about how she did the Avon walk for breast cancer. I have always wanted to do that - so today - instead of working - I Googled it! There are two walks in Oct - one in NY and one in Charlotte. It is roughly 40 miles over two days. They reduced it from 60 over three days.

I will talk to a couple of my GF's to see if they are interested - if not - I will sign up by myself. I have never been to Charlotte - it would be a nice trip.

After SD mentioned that 1400 sounded a little low - I also Googled the weight thing. I made a list of what I am eating and well it is more like 1200 - that is most definately too low. I need to be more at 1600. I am gradually increasing the aerobic activity. I am procrastinating about staring weights - b/c well I will be a walking mass of pain again for a couple of weeks ... and that is not fun.

I have been putting off my annual physical b/c I wanted to drop 5-6 pounds first. I am pre-disposed to have high triglycerides/cholestorol. I have a healthy diet - exercise and low stress is the only way for me to keep it in check. The last year of my M - the levels roughly doubled and then dropped AFTER The X moved out and as I was going through my D. \:o And the first few months after The X moved out - I lived on pizza and donuts - so clearly stress is a factor.

And perhaps creating those silly balls of pairs of socks after doing laundry was the main source of stress! I hated doing that! If I live with a man again - I am buying socks that are all the same so no matter which two he picks up - he will always have a pair. Of course if he wants variaty - that is fine - as long as he matches his own socks pairs.

I also want to get my levels as low as possible and apply for life insurance. The rates are significantly lower if your bloodwork is fine. Emailing Man said to fast for 24 hours before the test - as opposed to 8 - apparently that really gets it down.

Other than the fact that I have to work for a living - Life is good!

take care,
AG
