Climbing A HillDon't you feel like sometimes your whole life is an up-hill walk!
Even when I wasn't walking today I felt as if I were dragging my butt up a long and rocky hill. But you know I was not
derailed I stayed the course. I was in the pool more than usual and we had a quick passing thunder-head. All the combining
variables may be taking my energy stores. We are going to the health food store this week end :) Maybe I will go to the local
alchemist for some 3S's
you remember SSS tonic (like Geritol TM). Then I'll be sure to have my minerals. I keep
walking I'm up to 57 miles (total). Till tomorrow

Happy SolsticeWell; hope you all enjoyed the long lazy, firery Solstice celebration.
Did you take advantage of the longest day of the year? Boy we did. Spent it in the pool. Wish I could walk as easily as I
can tan. I shouldn't even be in the sun. Just had 3 skin cancers removed. But I must confess I am a sun worshiper.
I live in the pool in the summer. So very little walking 5 more miles thats it. But the tan is great. And oh, dare I say it
I cheat so mush on the high protein low carb food regimine. I forget my protein shakes and my insulin gets off schedule. Darn
it's a pain to keep up with. Then I think of the little children that are insulin dependant and I am ashamed of myself.
I'm a grown woman acting selfish an irresponsible. What a sorry example I am. I must do better. Please pray for me.

Walk and blood sugar level updateHi everyone did you think I virtually walked off the end of the Earth?
No such luck! I have barely made it to virtual Moulton only 37 miles from my virtual home. I am feeling great and motivated
to walk every day but my body does not co-operate. My knees get weak fast. Usually a mile on the treadmill and I'm wincing
in pain. I suppose it is that extra roast on my rump. So I'm moving at a slower pace for now. Been super busy with all
our websites, groups, directory listings as well as weddings and related travel. Da has been to Tn, N.C. , Fl,
Ka, Mo, and I have been to S.C., and N.C. I also gave lectures this past week to NAMI-Winston. All this cumulates to the bad
news that I gained weight in my endeavour to control my blood sugar levels and the cardiologist was not happy. So now I'm
high protein low carb and calorie limiting and it is harder than ever to control my blood sugar. But I am happy to report
that I am getting a lot more exercise now that it is warm enough to swim at night as well as during the day. Boy do I swim
a lot of laps. Good to be home and I'll not stay away so long next time.

Virtual WalkHi everyone, busy tring to get into the grove of summer. This is my plan. It
is my aim to spend the summer on a virtual trip from my home in Alabama to LA California. just under 2000. miles. I will start slow on my Nordic Trac treadmill. It has a fan and T.V. and all sorts of games and
sessions to choose from. I want to pick up to 20 miles/day and in about 100 day's I should have completed my walk I am
allowing an extra 20+ day's for blisters and the unforeseen. I hope to have completed my journey by October 01, 2008.
I will be posting the towns along my route that I will virtually pass through and the distance I made that day. My attitude,
any weight loss :) or any set backs I may encounter. If you like what I'm doing join me. Send me a email and let me know
your stats. Or if you want to do something more productive please I ask you to support
The Missing and exploited children
call 1-800-THE-LOST tell the I sent you and please make a contribution or support your local pet shelter everything helps,
give money,food, treats,toys,bath items or better yet volunteer. Tell them I sent you.
What started all this is my out
of control diabetes. I have an eating disorder complicated by a sugar addiction. I was moody, quick to anger. Always tired
nervous, headaches, bloated and always hungry. I have made some great discoveries about the "Sweetie" "Sugar"
"Honey" lurking inside of me. That brutal MONSTER has been identified and delt with on an on-going basis and I shall
be sharing my tricks of management with you all. Stay tuned.
