House: living room, kitchen & bathroom cleaned thoroughly, went thru toys and to use an old cliche, "cleaned house". Ve & Tuks are very messy with their toys. We clean, organise, threaten them and yet, several months later, it is a disaster AGAIN.
Getting back into shape: BEWARE A RANT COMING UP, still biking 10 miles every morning and watching what I eat, running and walking etc.,, BUT I went in to see the Doc about my ribs cage (just bruised intercostals, but ouchy). I naturally had to step on the scale, the very item I have been avoiding for months.. WOWZERE!! I am the heaviest I have been in my ENTIRE LIFE, (yes, I am shouting now) So, I had lost no weight even tho I have increased my activity level easily by double or triple.....
Well come to find out by reading an article about thyroids, it is one of the leading reason women can't lose weight. If your thyroid is above 2 you won't lose weight AT ALL. If you remember I was diagnosed last spring with a faulty one, I was put on meds and my thyroid level was then in the normal range between .45 and 4.45. My level was 3.35. My doctor let me set for a whole year at this level...packing on the pounds. I feel the extra weight plays a part into my feet problem too, specifically in the heels...my feet are screaming get that big fat butt off of us....I am so disgusted, I plan to talk with my doctor in two weeks and I will insist that she puts me on a medicine that will take my level down to around 1, if she won't help me, I will find someone else who will. Excess weight is the leading cause of a whole ton of other problems...yeah I am MAD, at myself by not being more proactive in my health and at the Doc for not giving me information on this issue.
"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."

RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
