Well, well, well…I think I may have figured out the mystery of my coughing fits that just won’t quit. I think it is/was a combination of factors. I have no doubt about when and why it started – it was the dust from the construction at work. That’s why it didn’t bother me when I [...]

Had a good day at work, everything was fine, but shortly after I got home the coughing spasms kicked back in, out of the blue, and they won’t stop. No walking tonight, and no blogging, unless you count this. I’m gonna go to bed, because I usually don’t cough when I’m lying down. What a [...]

Not much to report, actually, folks. (And there’s nobody reading this, anyway, so it all kind of works out!) I woke up with cramps last night in my calf. Twice. I can’t believe it’s from walking 8 minutes a night, but my calves aren’t feeling too hot, so I’m taking a break from the walk [...]

Uh, kinda sorta, but not really. In keeping with my newly adopted policy of moderation when it comes to adding distance/time to my walks, I’ll be walking for eight minutes. It doesn’t sound like much, I know. I might burn off 50 calories or so, if I’m lucky. However, if this policy of moderation keeps [...]

That’s a good question. I know I’ve said (at least) two or three times that I’m going to start posting on a daily or almost daily basis. I said it again in one of my most recent posts. But here we are, and it’s been two and a half weeks since my last post. And [...]

Ever since I’ve moved to Beaumont, I’ve fought a lack of energy. Some days at work it was an all day battle not to doze off. With my weight, I probably have sleep apnea, but I put off going in for a sleep test until I could save more money because we have such a [...]

Losing 100 pounds… can I really do it? Boy, that’s the $64,000 question, isn’t it? On the one hand it’s easy to say that thousands of people have lost 100 pounds or more, and if they can do it, there’s no reason under the sun that I can’t do it. Heck, some people have lost [...]

Mine hangs waaay over my belt and onto my lap when I sit down. Trying to get back in the habit of walking every night. Did an hour and 9 minutes last night. An hour and 3 minutes the night before that. An hour the night before that. Of course, this isn’t straight through. I [...]

Back in the early 2000s, I had a far right wing blog. I would get home from work every day around 3:30, and, except for hourly cigarette breaks, I would research and write all night, until about midnight. On the weekends I blogged even more, because I didn’t have to work. I kept up that [...]
