Tired--what happened to the workout???

Well, I promised myself I would go to the gym at least four times a week! i can do Saturday and Sunday mornings. But I have been getting home late from work--around 8pm. And, like tonight, all I want to do is get something to eat and relax. And, I don't see that changing...my schedule will be hectic for the next 30 days. But one of my colleagues is a shiny example of what kind of results you get by going to the gym--no matter what! She's lost 22 pounds in two months by going to the gym 5 times a week and eating nothing but protein and vegetables. Plus, she loves coke--but has cut it back to one a day vs. six!

Carbs

I'm watching my carbs, and I have been for years. And the person who used her "celebritiness"--hey I think I just made-up a word, or mispelt it--was Suzanne Sommers. About ten years ago, she wrote a book about eating carbs with protein or vegetables. It's some thing she learned while vacationing in France. I lost 9 pounds, just by reading her book--"Eat Great, Lose weight." Truly, I did follow the instructions and dropped 9 pounds in less than 3 weeks. And now, I better pull out the book, again, as my metabolism has slowed down with age. I think it'll make for good bedtime reading tonight!

My Yogurt

I like to feel good everyday--both mentally and physically.
But, at times, I do find it hard to do. That's because it can get real confusing as to what's good for you--or not!
For instance, food! Today, I am thinking of giving-up my yogurt because on my way to work the other day, Dr. McDougall, a radio guest said, "yogurt is bad for your digestive system, and that includes all dairy products." Oh well. But he does offer a solution, take Probiotics in supplement form. So, before the end of the week, I'll head to Henry's and pick up a bottle.
