my first mammogram yeilds no positive results. That’s a good thing! Doctor says I need to cut down (or stop) drinking coffee. That’s a very very bad thing.

I just noticed I am on the tail end of exercising for six months straight. Half of a year! Sweet! Today I jogged for 40 minutes straight. I don’t think I’ve done that in the last 13 years.

I just read a book a friend gave to me last week when I told her about my quit date: The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. If you know someone who wants to really quit smoking then give them that book. It’s not a scare tactic book. It does not beat us over the head [...]

My stop smoking date is today. I think I’m doing well since my last smoke was 5pm yesterday. I really don’t have cravings. Mostly like a ‘hmm what should I do now’ thought. I meant to weigh myself this morning – Will have to do that tonight. I want to weigh myself once a week [...]

I was going down the stairs and saw a little bit of a leaf that had made it’s way into the front door and up the stairs a little bit. So I leaned over and picked it up. I had an empty bowl in my hands and an empty beer bottle (I’m not drunk – [...]

I bruise extraordinarily easy. This week the bruise factor is exceptionally high. (I never can figure out where they come from). I have four nice green/yellow/black marks on my left forearm and three nice ones on my left thigh. However, all on the left side? I find that interesting. If anyone has seen the movie [...]

I lost my appetite about a month ago. Then last week I had temporary caps on a couple molars waiting crowns put on. Yuck. It’s amazing what you are scared to eat for fear of your caps falling off. On the bright side the loss of appetite and caps have helped me loose about 15lbs. [...]

I went to a GP doctor today and came out with a lot of drugs. I had scheduled an appointment to get on some type of anti-depressant medication and so happened to be sick at the same time. I think I got something while visiting Utah. He gave me: Metrogel for my rosacea. Efexor for [...]

I don’t have asthma. I don’t suffer from allergies. Last night I woke up at 4am unable to breathe. It was the most… disconcerting feeling I have experienced in my entire life. My body bolted upright and then I woke up struggling for air. I could feel a blocking in my lungs. I could inhale [...]

I smoke and can quit at any time (trust me on this). The problem is – I don’t want to quit! It seems that everyone I know who smokes is quitting and is now getting on my case to join the band wagon. This is my addiction of choice please let me have it. I [...]
