A Note for All of my Subscribers . . .

Hi, guys,

I know quite a few of you have signed up to receive e-mail alerts whenever I update this blog. I had been using Bloglet to send the alerts.

Well, guys, I gotta tell ya . . . apparently it's not working, and hasn't been working for a while. I know, because it's "broke" every time I check. Also, I'm actually signed up to get the alerts myself -- and I ain't a-gettin' them. I figure you aren't, either. Contacting Bloglet's owner hasn't helped, either (can you say, "no reply?") . . . so I'm going to drop the Bloglet service.

It's time for a new subscription program.

If you direct your gaze to the top right portion of the screen, you'll see a new sign-up form. It's an e-mail widget, powered by TypePad and FeedBlitz. IMPORTANT: I have already imported from Bloglet, most of my subscribers . . . but a few were not able to make the jump. If you're reading this post, had previously signed up with Bloglet, and did NOT get a notification from FeedBlitz, you may want to sign up again.

And it goes without saying . . . if you want to subscribe, please do! All that will happen is that you'll get an e-mail whenever I update the blog, and you're free to un-sub at any time.

Thanks, guys, for your patience, and your readership. See you down the FeedBlitz road.

Hi.
Just wanted to say that I am feeling really out of control right now. It seems that during the week I eat right and exercise and then comes the weekend and I'm a mess. I had it under control for quite a while and lost 50 pounds but now I see I'm starting to inch up and I'm getting scared. I know what to do but I don't have the same passion I had as in the beginning. What should I do?

Miriam, sometimes you just have to view this as your job. It's part of body maintenance, life maintenance. You have to wash your clothes, right? Balance your checkbook? Pay bills? All of these things can be boring, and sometimes they can be a downright chore. But we have to do them, to live our "best lives," as Oprah would probably say.

Remember that you don't always have to like it; you just have to do it. But be sure to eat foods you like. Deprivation does not work in the long run, so be sure to eat "smart" and fill up on healthy options like veggies. Look into the "Volumetrics" books by Dr. Barbara Roll.
