Mind's Eye

Growing up next to water, I'm forever connected to it. My life depends on it literally. I love how water finds a path and filters itself. One of my finds i consider priceless are artisian wells. I have yet to come upon an oasis, but I think looking for freshwater in a swamp is a real find.

Question of the day.....

Would you rather go without water in a desert or drink standing water

in a swamp no matter where it is?

I am now on my 7th month of working out and have lost 25 lbs. I started with 159 and am down to 137,8,6,7,140,137....I am a scaleaholic. I'm not as bad as I used to be, weighing in twice a day. Now, it's only once a week. I learned that from infinityfitness.com. Your body takes 4 days to go through a day of food. So what you ate and drank over the weekend, will show up thursday...However, each body is different and mine shows up in 3 days... I have also found a great diet found in the Runner's World magazine that has helped with energy and the mind numbing choices of what to eat. Infinityfitness has a great diet in which you eat 80% of your body's daily requirement of calories Monday through Friday and then Saturday and Sunday eat 120%. It works. My recommendation for EVERYONE... DO NOT try diet pills!! You will spend time earning money to pay for the pills when you could use that time to exercise. They are NOT worth it!!! If exercising and a good healthy diet doesn't work... ask your doctor.

I have this awful habit of thinking so loudly I think people hear me. So when I talk to others, I bring them halfway into my thoughts. They stand there wondering how many people actually have admittance and who have actually paid to be in my head. Unfortunately, my daughter has the same thing. Only her conversations are outloud from the time she got up this morning at 7 am until she falls asleep at 9pm. I should be rich right now making children stories out of the vinettes she tells. Until she figures out the secret of internal dialog I am bombarded with stories of alligators coming out of eggs just like chickens, bandaids that look like sharks on her fingers, swimming under water with the fishes and how her brother Ethan can't leave her color coordinated Legos alone.
