6/100
I ‘m following the Hundred Day Head Start. The premise is that, instead of waiting for the new year to make a resolution, you make that change. Now. My hundred day head start goal is simple: minimum 30 minutes of exercise, every day, with a blog update at least once a week on my progress.

1/100
Today is September 23, 2007, also known as 100 days until New Year’s Eve.
I found the beginnings of a very neat site called Hundred Day Head Start yesterday. The site has just made some big changes to gear up for the next hundred days, so I’m interested to see what happens with it!
I’m also inspired [...]

PhotoHunt: Paper
So I’ve missed a few weeks of PhotoHunt lately. Whoops!
This week’s theme is paper, and I’m being a little loose with it. My picture this week is from a snow day last winter, when one of the free-newspaper boxes got a little dusted!

QOTW: Don’t sit still.

I went to see my doctor today, and filled her in on my fatigue and other symptoms.
I have to make an appointment with the lab to get a variety of blood tests in the next week. She wants me tested for anemia and thyroid disorders, as I expected, but she also wants me to be [...]

Occasionally, I’ll be writing about the products I try or use in my quest for a healthier lifestyle. These are NOT provoked or supported by any of the companies whose products I may write about; they are simply things I’ve tried and either found useful or bunk. You can find previous product reviews under the [...]

Progress
After weeks (months!) of maintenance, I’m losing again. I’m glad to see this long plateau come to an end, and even more excited about my goals.
I’ve joined a challenge on the 3 Fat Chicks forum that ends when The Biggest Loser ends in early December. My goal for that is to hit 180lbs, then knock [...]

Dr Google
Dr Google is NOT your friend.
I have a doctor’s appointment next week. I’ll write more about the reasons after the appointment, once I have a better idea of what’s up.
I’m clearly not functioning 100% today, because I decided that I would Google some of the things that are sending me to the doctor. The results [...]

QOTW: Courage
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney
I chose this week’s quote because, all too often, I see people saying “I would to do XYZ, but …” Just as the wishes are varied, so are the excuses. On the 3 Fat Chicks forums, there are many [...]
