The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
I was warned by the physiotherapist and doctor about spending a lot of time sitting at this here computer. Tonight I have gone about 2 hours! Just terrible. The clothes have been in need of hanging out for some time but instead I waste time on here. My neck is going to pay for it tomorrow!. Cho.
I'm trying to lose some weight before my next Jamrock trip in June. So am really focussing on the calories. You'd be amazed by how a handful of cashew there...a spoonful of peanut butter there....a slice of bread there, adds up.
I have started using this website to track my foods. Try it. It has a lot of the stuff I eat. Better than Fitday.com I think.
For this first week, I have done between 1700 and 2000 calories. I think I need to go down to 1600 to see any real weight loss. I am weighing every Sunday. I have also been doing weights again, though only for upper body so it shouldnt add too much on the scale.
Just came back from seeing this film and totally understand why it won all those Oscars, BAFTA etc that it won. A totally engrossing film with a wonderful story line, many humourous parts and great directing.
Danny Boyle did a great job in how the story line was presented. If you haven't seen it yet, rent it today.
I never realized how dark my natural hair was and how it didnt do my face any justice. I had peroxided my hair myself many years ago, and frosted it once. Then in 2007 July I had it done professionally. Then my hair grew, and the highlights disappeared once I cut my hair (which I don around my birthday every year).
So here are three pics. One of the very dark hair, one with the me undergoing the highlighting process and the other with the finished outcome. Long life highlighting! Will never have dark hair again.
SORRY...PICS DELETED
And just for good measure, here is that high school pic again!
Maybe you don't remember the following extract from this entry in November 2007.....Let me refresh your memory, and then read below the extract....
It reminds me about what the young Customs Officer said to me on Friday when I came back from Barbados. He was waiting on the CSME stamp and he says "so what happen to your husband?" I was taken aback because he usually does not strike up a conversation like that. It's usually something like "how are you today". So I tell him that I don't have any, nor do I want any because oonu man is pure stress. He agreed to some extent, but also said the woman could be stress too.
He then asks me if it's because I am not looking. Yes, I reply. Then he said something which took me by surprise. "You must keep an open mind". After we ended the conversation, I asked him where the toilet was. On my way back from using it, he called out to me and said "Remember, keep an open mind!" I promised to.
So I will have No Reservations next time someone asks for my number to get to know me better. Well maybe not on the first meeting. I still want to keep that bit of anal-retentiveness about me!
So have you ever been in a situation where for years you maintained a certain viewpoint, and then out of nowehere, something or someone causes you to do a shift in thinking. Shift in thinking = fun......
