Weight Loss

Last week flew by!  RVTV was Thursday, the day started at 5:30 am and ended just after midnight.  I walked almost 10,000 steps that day.  Friday found me on an airplane headed to Chicago for the weekend with my niece.  We bemoaned that we ate so much, but actually we didn’t. Friday night I had…

My house smells really good.  I have frankincense essential oil bubbling away in the diffuser.  The aroma is warm, earthy and sweet and great for the immune system.  Frankincense quiets the mind, brings focused attention and tranquility.  I recently purchased the book Essential Oils for Health by Kymberly Keniston-Pond and this information comes from that…

I’m on vacation. Friday I wandered three airports and got in 10,000 steps. Saturday I played in the pool at Tanglewood, NC — great park too.  Hung out in the lazy river. Today we are driving to Philly and hanging out with Gigi and her kids. Tuesday we are walking the boardwalk all day. Pretty…

Aging is a powerful thing.  What you used to do easily, now requires forethought and preparation. Think ‘staying out all night and going to work in the morning’.  Thing ‘walking miles without have built up your body to doing so.’ The second one is my complaint today.  We had an event yesterday and I was…
