After the bike ride Saturday that included a couple challenging climbs I
decided I needed to do some leg work.  I set the treadmill at it's highest
incline, set the speed at 3.2 mph (I have short legs) and walked two miles

I'm a big fan of snowcones during the summer and I'm wondering if anyone
knows of a topping I can buy for them that isn't loaded with sugar.

(I hate chain restaurants, but had to go because I didn't have a say

Monday: Went to the gym in the morning, then to work, then stopped for
groceries, then home.  Got in a walk at lunchtime with my friend Ted,
even though it was drizzling.  We had a disturbing thing happen late

According to FitDay I burn about 1600 kcal a day.
So far I've been eating about 1400 kcal a day.

Due to meds (I'm crazy) I have gained a rediculous amount of weight.  I
am 29 and I weigh 180 pounds.  I am just over 5"1.  When I had my son 8
years ago I weighed 143 pounds.  When I married my husband 11 years ago
I weighed 95 pounds.  I am currently going to Curves women's gym ...

Upper body weight workout.  I use one of the workouts in the "Body for Life"
for women.  I've never followed their diet but do like their workouts.
It was a busy day at work and I didn't eat an afternoon snack so I was
starving when I finally arrived home.  I know better but I ate ...
