Oh my friends....I am lost some where between here and there and feel like I am on some merry-go-round that is on high speed. What happened? How do I get off this thing? I am not complaining.....I don't think I am anyway. Just some slow paced days would be very nice. This is the last week of an 8 week class I have been taking and I "graduate" on Wednesday. It is on health and nutrition and coronary health. My cholesterol dropped 87 points in 8 weeks with me only tweaking my food choices.
I am on the right path. I am wearing a pedometer every day and trying to get at least 10,000 steps in per day. I am doing it...it is my own personal challenge now.I've been wanting to post a series of photos taken in February...I call my February delights....but now I guess I should just recap winter and call it Winter Delights...that will be forth coming.
My son Will and I have started do this neat thing we call "Drive Bys." We set out with our cameras and put both our windows down in the Explorer and while he drives I shoot pictures of ....anything...and then I drive and he shoot pictures of...anything...
Then we fly in the door and load our pictures and see who got the best ones. We have had so much fun doing that. We went out last week in 10 inches of new snow to A. Practice driving in snow for his driver's test...and B. To take drive bys.
I did all the shooting since he was too busy having fun driving in the snow. I will post some of those soon. This has turned into a wonderful activity we love doing together.
My husband road with us in the back for a little bit of this last one and he kept saying..."when will the window close..I am getting snowed on"....Well Honey...the window never closes. We just turn up the heat.
This week there is a new contest up and I entered. I took so many pictures for this category and then had a terrible time deciding which one to enter! So after the contest I will put them all up. So for now...if you would kindly take a peak at the iliveinmycamera site and vote for your favorite...that would be grand. Everyone who entered would really appreciate that! Thank you!!!

Hi! Great job getting your cholesterol down so much.... we are doing much the same ... and the "drive bys" sound like fun....

it's so good to hear from you. hope al is very well in your home. love, mari
Wow you are very busy! That is great that you lowered your cholesteral. Could you give me some tips on how you did that? Mine is usually at 240. Dr wants it about 180. Me too!
@mariqueenofscots - I love you Mari! I am so glad you are up and about and doing well. I missed you so much!
Actually...I am still eating wheat occasionally.
I am doing a totally vegan thing here and loving it. My 8 week class was a refresher from a prior one David and I took several years ago. So....now...meat free, dairy free and gluten free....sounds dull but it sure is not.
@sloggy - It has been fun experimenting with different foods and enjoying this new "lifestyle." Blessings to you!!!
