Recently, my doctor told me that I am deficient in vitamin D. She instructed me to take twice the daily recommended amount and to come back for further blood tests. I started out okay by taking a tablet with 1000 IU (whatever that is) of Vitamin D, which claims to be 250% of the daily rec. dose. But, as per usual with me and pills I’m supposed to take, I slowly forgot to take them and eventually stopped completely. Today, though, I got a newsletter that I subscribe to through email telling me that new research indicates women with PCOS…

More to Love. It’s basically the Bachelor with so called “real” people. Plus-sized is the P.C. term. Obese is probably the technical term for many of the people on the show. Yes, big girls need love too, we all know that. But something about the show comes off as too much of a gimmick to me. Also, I was expecting voluptuous women with confidence who ate what they wanted freely and without guilt and who loved themselves despite their weight. I don’t know what dream planet I was living on there for a minute, but apparently Fox couldn’t find 20…

I have a doctor’s appointment this morning. Last time I went to the doctor for my annual physical, they did a blood work up and found that I have a high vitamin d deficiency. This was something I had never really heard of before, but apparently, not getting enough vitamin d is a problem. After looking it up online (where, yes, I know you can’t believe everything you read, but still, most sites tend to have similar information on this subject), I found out that lack of vit. d can result in cancer, osteoporosis, and other diseases. It can also…

Determined to get back on track with my fitness and my goals for the year (okay, really goals for my life), I actually got up early this morning and went to Jazzercise class. I have missed it, really. Sure, it’s sweaty and hot and hard work, but now that I’m home, I feel great! And by going to the earlier class at 8:20 (I used to only go to the 9:30 class), I’m giving myself an extra hour to work before lunchtime. My life has been filled with starts and stops… starting on a path towards my goals and then…

Last night, G and I experienced a rare but terrifying event. We got stalked and attacked by a kitty cat. We live in a community of townhouses situated side by side, and it just so happens that one of our neighbors about 4 townhouses down has a cat. They seem to let this black and white cat roam the neighborhood, and it has often been seen hanging out under our cars or around our doorstep. I don’t particularly mind as long as it isn’t attacking me. It’s just a cat. From time to time, I have tried the old method…

When I decided to try my hand at writing books, I started reading things and hearing things about “finding your process.” Everyone talks about how every writer has their own process, or way of producing. For some people, the best thing to do when you have a solid idea is to sit down and start writing. Pantsers, they are called, because they fly by the seat of their pants. They know that eventually a story will be formed out of their ramblings and that is all they need to know when they start. They don’t care usually if they have…
