This is a journal to help me learn LC tactics and to record LC success as 2007 draws to an end and 2008 looms large and hopeful ahead of me.

Wish me luck! Luck?

Ah, luck is the residue of design.

Found that in a fortune cookie, ages ago.

Fits into the LC mantra about how failing to plan is planning to fail. So my plans start out each day with a hot slosh of WPP+cocoa+espresso+VCO so that I start off feeling like a LC success. Yay, me!

The Recovery Process

Just found a site that shakes me up. Does this apply to my own situation as I work to get with a LC program that will pare me down to a size that is healthier and less cumbersome than my current size? I think maybe this applies to me.

Moving my muscles (aka the excruciating "E" word)

Posted 03-20-2008 at 02:37 AM by Zer
Time to move my muscles! That phrase gets a lot less backtalk than the excruciating "E" word - exercise! Jezzie started a thread on a chap who lost 90# walking in his backyard. What a concept! Got me to thinking how safe and smooth my parking lot is (except for the speed bumps I'm easily able to circumvent at my current rate of speed - hobbling on a hinky hip) and how nearby and private it is for most of the time. Handy!

Good thread, Jezzie! Backyard walking for weight loss. Some of us are too shy to hit the bricks, too shaky to try a treadmill.

Supplements for good health; how much of what?

How to know what to take? I'm wondering if I can curb my nighttime spasms from this hinky hip by taking magnesium, but what dosage? I'm reading at Pure Essence Labs site about 2:3 as optimal calcium-magnesium ratio, about "ionic" being the best delivery for absorption, about cramps that sound a lot like the nighttime spasms that keep me from sleeping, wake me up and make me sit up to sleep easier:

Halcyon days...LC'ing joy

Posted 02-16-2008 at 06:14 AM by Zer
A term - halcyon days - comes to mind, as I contemplate how amazingly good, how calm, I feel with 40g of protein in me this ayem, having just slurped up my hot slosh (WPP+espresso+cacao+VCO) in preparation for a productive day.
Quote:
halcyon: a mythical bird said to breed at the time of the winter solstice in a nest floating on the sea and to have the power of calming the winds and waves; a large kingfisher widely distributed in warmer parts of the Old World; (Greek mythology) a woman who was turned into a kingfisher
(adjective): idyllically calm and peaceful; suggesting happy tranquillity

Why plan?

Posted 02-15-2008 at 08:14 AM by Zer
I think we all need to map out a direction, using our moral compass, else we are drifting - and are lost. Remember what the Caterpillar says to Alice in Wonderland?
Quote:
Alice asks the caterpillar which path she should take and the caterpillar asks Alice where she wants to go. Alice tells the caterpillar that she doesn't know where she wants to go and the caterpillar tells Alice that in that case it doesn't matter which path she takes.
Having a plan and consulting a moral compass in making choices seems better than drifting aimlessly. After all, I got fat by eating randomly, then got fatter and eventually...
