Women Talking
Monday, December 10, 2018 20 comments www.theguardian.com/book s/2018/aug/18/miriam-toews -interview-women-talking-m ennonite I seldom read "literature" (even though I have a couple degrees in it) because so much of "literature" is written in what seem... Read more
Intense Flavour!!
Sunday, December 09, 2018 24 comments Yes, the scales moved in the right direction for me yesterday at the gym. Thankfully. It is ALWAYS tough to move a few pounds and I expect it will take time . . . but am feeling encouraged. Hope to see another lurch down next Saturday . . . ... Read more
Checking the wardrobe . . .
Saturday, December 08, 2018 22 comments Yup. No point in having lovely clothes if I cannot wear them with comfort and joy. . And those few up pounds are keeping me from wearing everything I own with comfort and joy. All right then. It will not take much, but I've got... Read more
Jaw Pain
Friday, December 07, 2018 21 comments Thanks you, Spark friends, for educating me about some of the side effects of that bone density medication that I (guiltily) had stopped taking -- because of nausea and tummy upset. However, I was also experiencing severe jaw pain and stiffness... Read more
Bone Density
Thursday, December 06, 2018 25 comments Went for my annual bone density scan first thing yesterday morning . . . which was first scheduled after the spontaneous broken foot in August 2017 , , , and apparently I'm no shorter than last year at this time, Which is a good thing! I ... Read more
Re-Characterizing Band Width
Wednesday, December 05, 2018 16 comments Sometimes just blogging about a problem -- like yesterday's blog about spending my "band width" on exercise and experiencing weight gain -- helps me think it through. And your comments always help too. I did MUCH better with the food yest... Read more
Band Width
Tuesday, December 04, 2018 28 comments There IS (contemporary brain science tells us) only so much band width to go around. That's why it's hard to focus on two areas of weight maintenance simultaneously. Susan Peirce Thompson of Bright Line Eating, for example, recommends focusin... Read more
Climate and Weather
Monday, December 03, 2018 27 comments We're having a melty slushy interval here . . . with a brief burst of sunshine late yesterday. And we took advantage of that to go for a brisk walk around the block!! I was wearing my new sheepskin boots barefoot!!! My goodness that was plushy... Read more
Big Heads
Sunday, December 02, 2018 25 comments I really enjoyed the comments on yesterday's blog, where I riffed on my difficulties with the Spark Trivia questions (got a couple wrong again this morning . . . ). And joked about how useful this is in combatting my big head so that I can at le... Read more

Saturday, December 01, 2018 25 comments www.sparkpeople.com/mypa ge_public_journal_individu al.asp?blog_id=6545874 Yes, the OKM blog yesterday made me giggle. She's blaming me for getting her hooked on Trivia A: mostly because I moan about my Trivia A fail... Read more
Warm, Dry, Comfy!
Wednesday, November 28, 2018 38 comments Yes, the saga of the sheepskin boots has come to a happy conclusion . . . the boots arrived, they fit beautifully and I tested them out yesterday on a recess walk. Ahhhhh! I'm thinking: absolutely well worth the rather extravagant investment!!... Read more
Purple Finch!!
Tuesday, November 27, 2018 27 comments www.allaboutbirds.org/gu ide/Purple_Finch/id# I haven't seen a purple finch at my bird feeders for at least five years -- and so I was thrilled when an adult male spent at least a half hour right outside my back door on ... Read more
"I'm not judging . . . "
Monday, November 26, 2018 26 comments "I'm not judging." I hear this phrase more and more often (for example, Michael Douglas uses it in his Kominsky Method role). We say we're not judging because we believe it's better NOT to judge. That judging others is wrong. (I'm... Read more
This 'n That
Sunday, November 25, 2018 22 comments The Kominsky Method -- on Netflix -- is pretty hilarious: an 8 part series entirely suitable for aging baby boomers!! Got me laughing for sure. Michael Douglas is superb. Alan Arkin too. And: just watched the initial episode of Dogs docu...
