Just getting over pneumonia

by

Wow it’s been a while since I’ve written in this blog. Well the reason is that darn cold that I had from January through to March (ok it was two colds in a row I think) eventually turned into pneumonia. Figures doesn’t it.

I was feeling so bad at one point two weeks ago that my husband took me to the hospital. When they put the finger pulse oximeter on me my oxygen rate was only 88%. My chest was heavy and I had trouble breathing and my head was foggy. It was awful.

The good news is that I’m starting to feel better so you should start to see more posts from me in the near future!

I hope that all my readers have a very Happy Easter weekend or if you aren’t celebrating then perhaps just a great long weekend. Enjoy!

Ways to lose weight …

by

In my last post I asked how do you lose weight?

I asked if you increase your activity by doing more workouts, going to the gym or taking long walks. Or if you try diets?

when you try to lose a few extra pounds, perhaps when you have an upcoming event or simple because it won’t be all that long before summer will be here … do you try to eat a little bit healthier? Do you eat more vegetables and fruit substituting them for carbs or sugar heavy snacks?

What about weight loss supplements ? Have you ever used them? If so did they work?

When I was a teen I tried some diet pills and they didn’t do much for me … but then, now that I think back I really didn’t need to lose any weight back then, I was a fairly skinny teenager. I think I just tried them mainly because that’s what my friends were doing.

So .. specifically … what do you do to lose weight when you need to lose maybe five pounds fast?

How do you loose weight?

I’m on a search for the best diet products. I’ve been helping a friend try to find some good weight loss products as she wants to lose several pounds within the next month.

Now she tells me that her boyfriends on the bandwagon so she wants me to try to find out something about the best fat burner for men. I have no idea!

I’m kind of a non-dieter. When I need to loss weight I eat a little less or add more veggies and fruit to my diet and I try to up my activity level. Sometimes the extra pounds don’t come off quite as fast as I’d like, but it always works if I keep at it.

How do you lose weight? Do you eat healthier? work out more often? use diets or diet products?

My head is going to explode

by

Have you ever had a headache or migraine where you thought your head was just going to explode? Yeah … if you suffer from migraines I bet you have!

I’ve had a headache all day along with visual symptoms which makes me think it’s more of a migraine and it’s getting worse and worse. I’m pretty sure that in an hour or so it’s going to be a real pounder that will have me lying on the couch moaning in pain.

Oddly enough when I was doing a search on Google a little while ago I came across a product called no xplode. It’s not a migraine product, but for people who suffer from severe migraines – don’t you think that would make a great name for a headache or migraine product?

Ok … think I’ll go rest now.

Trying to lose a few pounds before summer

by

It seems that almost every where I look these days I keep seeing ads for one quick weight loss program or another. I see them on public transit ads, in the magazines I read, on TV and even hear about them on the radio.

Maybe it’s a sure sign that spring has arrived? LOL

Naturally … just about everyone wants to lose at least a few pounds before summer arrives so they’ll look good in shorts, summer dresses and bathing suits. I know I do!

I don’t think I’m going to diet though. My husband and I eat very healthy and in smaller proportions … so I think the best way for me to lose a few extra pounds is for me to step up the outdoor activities. Go for long walks with the dog, maybe bring out the bike and try to use it at least three times a week … things like that.

Hopefully that will be enough to get me in summer shape.

Are you trying to lose a few pounds before summer? If so, what are you doing to try to lose the weight?
