  • Passport Came!

    I haven’t said much in the blog, but my husband and I are traveling to Monte Carlo in March. He’s going to play in the European Series of Poker.

    We’ve been slowing gathering things we might need — I’ve got a battery for the CPAP so I can sleep on the airplane.

    I’ve got a few none health related things on my list, but the biggest thing is making sure I have a legal carry on bag so I can have everything with me.

  • Bummer Dude.

    code: theWebSocket; : code: theWebSocket;

    I’m several years ahead of him on this — was hoping to comment on his blog, not sure if his blog allows track backs, but I invite him to take a look at my journey, he might be able to take some short cuts.

  • Personal Challenge Day 7

    Today is
    CE 5/8
    CT 6/10
    ST 5/8

    I was 200 calories over iShapes plan again. Still less calories than I burned by a substantial amount.

    I am losing weight though.

  • CPAP and airlines

    Interesting website on using a CPAP on a airline … why, next post.

    First Human Trials Scheduled for Diabetes Vaccine – Elites TV – Your Elite News Source

    One of the reasons I suspect stem cells won’t be successful is the same reason that Islet transplants haven’t been very successful. There is something ELSE going on.

    After we fix the something else, the body will probably regenerate or THEN islet transplant will be successful.

  • The Bell Curve

    The New Yorker: Fact

    What happens when patients find out how good their doctors really are?

    Very fascinating reading and I wish that the ADA would get in on a similar bandwagon as the CFA has.

  • “The Biggest Loser”

    I’m watching this show — I think it’s the third episode I’ve seen, and they are down to six and cutting them lose — no longer on teams.

    Some of what they are doing makes sense — they showed a temptation dinner — which was typically of a family, church or work “spread”. Will it seems cruel, the participants saw it as something helpful. They used the experience to find the right food, and stay away from the wrong food.

    I still think there are a lot of wrong things about the whole premise. Weight loss isn’t necessarily less calories eaten and more burn. A lot of other factors go into it, for example, read the article on sleep I posed about earlier. Insulin is also a factor for me.

  • Food Pet Peeves

    Servings radically different than package size. They should do the math not us.

    What brought this on?

    Bought lunch meat with different flavors in the package and serving si1 shows 3 slices but 4 slices in package.

  • This is another one of the issues I have with the surgery

    One of the things I want to know, is why doesn’t the skin go back after obesity suervery AND is this a problem I’m going to deal with no matter which way I go?

    An answer from one of the medical doctors would be nice.
