Another week has passed

Another week has passed and I just got around to getting back on the treadmill. There a couple weeks that I didn't update my stats, so they are off and I'll probably remove that from my sidebar. I have skipped my exercising for about three weeks. I am still trying to accept the fact that if I eat anything salty, my feet swell like crazy. If I exercise and drink plenty of water and stay away from chips, peanuts and such, I seem to be ok. I really think it is a temporary thing, but I am having to be mindful of it.

Not much going on here on the home front. I'm still overweight, but I take no medications, my blood pressure is good as are my cholesterol levels. I feel really good. Imagine how great I would feel if I lost forty pounds. I'm not going to ever give up on this quest, but man it is an ongoing struggle and sometimes it's a bit tedious to know that you "need" to lose weight.

I know you all struggle with these same feelings, otherwise you would not follow my journey. I am very proud of my friends that have lost weight, especially Tina. She has really worked hard and she is looking and feeling great. She and I met through our blog surfing and she has become an inspiration in several ways. Let's give Tina an "Atta Girl". Stop by her blog and see her and her art and maybe you'll make a new friend today.

That's it for me. Take care and enjoy your weekend.

I'm still here

Just popping in to let you know that I'm still around. I've been doing a lot of art lately, and have sort of let my blogging here sag. Sorry about that. I have no weight loss to report, but I will mention that I'm dealing with swelling. I have periodically had a problem with swelling of my fingers, especially if I sleep a long time. This happened as a teen quite often as I loved to sleep in. Now I'm noticing that my left foot is swelling if I nosh down on salty snacks. So for the next few days, weeks, etc. I'm going to really be monitoring my salt and sodium intake. What about you? Do any of you have to deal with this? What's your take on it?

Have a great weekend, eat healthy, drink plenty of water and watch that sodium. Read your labels carefully and make good choices.

Talk soon.
