Only One More Day

Today is Saturday, only one more day of the cabbage soup diet.  It looks like I will have soup left over to freeze. Today I will have a steak for dinner and tomorrow RICE!!! Carbohydrates YES. Final weight posted Monday Morning when I get up, at which point I will move on to the 4- four hundred calorie meal plan until I get rid of the spare tire.  Might try Special K cereal as I can pinch More than an inch.  Not good news about the exercising on Thursday and Friday.  That would be a No, but will make up for it today and tomorrow.

Spell Check and Vegetable Soup

     Well I think the reason that I don't have spell check is that my version of Microsoft windows is not new enough to support it.  Sorry about your luck!!!

     I have lost the holiday weight and the headache that I had for the past two days detoxing from something.  Sugar maybe???   Now I am back to where I started so it will get more difficult from here.   It is very cold so I have not walked but I have exercised each day and will again as soon as I write this.  I have not cheated on the diet YET!!  I am addicted to carbohydrates I think.  I don't miss meat at this point but would REALLY like to have bread, rice, oatmeal or  COOKIES!!! 4 more days to go after today.
HEre is a link to the cabbage soup diet:  http://www.cabbage-soup-diet.com/  I put a lot of herbs that  I froze from the garden and it is good soup, not bland, just not satisfying today day 3 of 7.

My Own Resolutions

Well, it is that time of year when people make resolutions that they are not able to keep.  I am one of those people, but I am hoping that this blog will help me stay the course.  My colesterol is high and has been and I just read that this is a contributing figure to alztiemer's(spelling)  WHERE OH WHERE IS SPELL CHECK?  I think I wondered this before.  I resolve to find out but not today.  And I am daffy enough already, I don't need to contribute to my own mental deterioration!!!

1.  follow cabbage soup diet for 7 days.  One day done...have not cheated.
2.  Eat 4 400 calorie meals per day after that until I reach 118 lbs.  (15 lbs to lose)
3.  In 90 days be able to do 5 real push-ups
4. Exercise 4 days per week.  Exercised yesterday, going to today.

Future Intentions and New Year's Resolutions

I am pretty sure that I intend to keep writing this blog.  Even though my one constant reader (albeit forced b/c he has to read it) will now be gone because I have finished the 23 things project. Good Night Mr. Anderson where ever you are!  I want to have my thoughts handy since I have so few of them and It will be a good way to record my successes, failures and self-flagellations, and "finds" here in Oz.  New Year's resolutions:  Educationally I would like to more fully integrate technology in my classroom and to give my students more choices. I have some sort of fitness, mental health, nutrition resolution but it is not yet fully formed.  I'll get back to you on that.  Here is a link to my classroom blog,There Are No Excuses .  Hopfully this will be one of the success stories.  Happy last day of 2009 and Blessings in the New Year!!  By the way, Avatar is awesome!  Saw it in 3-D  liked it (:  Was going to add a picture from the movie how do you know what yu can use and what you can't on the web??? Next tothe picture it said may be subject to copyright.  What is that?!! I thought it was a YES of NO thing???   HELP

Apologies to Edublog

Well I feel that I must apologize to Edublog.  I still can not get the batch feature to work where you can add 15 users at a time but I did successfully add my students individually so I'm happy.
