Carole - 10 May 2008 18:37 GMT I know some of you are following my weight loss progress on my website.
I've decided to finally do something with my photography (since everyone has convinced me that I should).
SO, this afternoon, I will be moving my Healthy Weight website to my personal website. It will be now be located at http://carmay.com/carolemay
The site that I have now, carolemay.com, for Healthy Weight will become my Photography by Carole May website.
So change your links :))

OK :) Well, I'm working on a new website now for my photography, so carolemay.com will become that. There are a few pages up for now, and I'm working on the galleries and then will add an online shop for anyone who likes my photos and wants a copy (I hope, LOL :)))

Navy - 13 May 2008 20:08 GMT I had read somewhere that if you think of a new life and habits, rather than that dreaded word diet (which implies temporary - doesn't work), it sometimes helps. I guess it's like making a spending plan, instead of a budget. They both allow you to decide what you *are* going to do, rather than what you *can't* do. We are all so proud of you, Carole, you are a true inspiration.
 Signature Navy Take out the FISH to email me.

We are all so proud of you, Carole, you are a > true inspiration. Thanks, Navy. I knew when I started this that it had to be a complete lifestyle change. Not only did I have to change what I ate, and how I ate, I also had to start moving my butt and not just sitting on the couch. As I lost weight, I got more energy. And I was lucky to get into hte program at the local university for adults with diabetes, as I get to workout 3X a week with a student personal trainer, which is something that I never could have afforded to do. He has taught me so much that I'll be able to continue once the school year ends and he graduates.

Navy - 17 May 2008 21:07 GMT It sure is hard to make that first move, though. If I don't do my exercises first thing in the morning, before I get out of bed (no way I can do them on the floor), they don't get done. But I had found if I just start, they seem to sail along on their own (well, I do have to make some effort LOL, but they do go easier). I'm lucky in that I was able to lose over 20 pounds after I retired (no candy/cookie machines at home!) So far, I've managed to keep it off. Mom and I weigh every day so we can catch any sneaking pounds before they get a headstart. I would love to have a personal trainer, but the problem is, with the neuromas in my feet right now, anything involving standing or walking I don't do. I go back to see him in a couple of weeks or so. I found I have to wear some kind of shoe most of the time. He approved my SAS sandals. At $100 a pair, I hate wearing them out just at home.

So just do a short walk and then add to it each day or every other day. When I first started on the treadmill I could only do 5 minutes.
I do my ab exercises in bed as I can't get on the floor...if I do, I can't get up without help or pulling myself up by holding on to a piece of furniture. I have to weigh myself every day since I have CHF.
I've never worn SAS sandals, but I was just on eBay and there are quite a few pair on there. Check out online places as they often have overstocks and are much cheaper.

Navy - 19 May 2008 13:29 GMT I can't walk for very much at all, puts too much pressure on the bottom of the feet. I used to love to walk - would always walk if there was a choice. I do love my SAS sandals and the podiatrist approved of them. I do have a stationary bike that I need to get started back on. If only the oddball events would stop messing up my schedule! We heard last evening that our senior pastor just got elected as bishop of the South Carolina area. So, that probably means search for a new pastor either for that positiion or, if the junior pastor moves up, for that position. He was kind enough to email everybody in the church with email, that our pastor had gotten the post, so we wouldn't see it in the paper this morning without some preparation. Well, must dash - off to OT for my hands. My therapist has helped a lot, even if it is only providing a list of "things not to do with arthritic hands!" LOL
