Viagra Tips

So what does one do while waiting for the blood pumping results of Viagra to kick in?

I like to take advantage of the time, so I stretch and use my stretchy band.  They can  help with stretching, makes it easier to stretch further.  Besides I like to tune into the exhibitionist side of my personality and put on a “floor show” for my favorite guy.  Besides I might need a helping hand to put my limbs in their proper position in case I stretch too far!

This is one occasion where leering is good, and jaw dropping stares are better!!  Actually I would like for him to  join me in these stretching exercises….I think we would both enjoy them even more.

I’ll just keep extending the invitation and, who knows, maybe someday he’ll join me!!

Why I Quit

I quit watching SCI: Crime Scene Investigation because it was always dark….why not just turn on the lights instead of walking around with flashlights?

I quit reading Dr. Kay Scarpetta books by Patricia Cornwell because it was always dark, dreary, and rainy.  Why can’t the sun shine?  Why can’t it be warm?

I quit watching a lot of TV because I finally realized I was investing a lot of my time watching about people that don’t exist live a life that isn’t real.  Reading fiction is the same.  Oh reality TV you say….that is just very contrived….if you want reality TV watch surveillance videos.

Time is finite and as your time dwindles you have to become more selective about how you spend it.

Does It Jiggle??

Can’t say it enough…..I people watch.  I notice some obese people whose fat jiggles when they walk.  Not really a nice observation to verbalize, but there it is.

So one day I asked Rex to watch me walk toward him and away from him a couple of time.  After he did and I did, I asked if my fat jiggled.

He laughed and said no it doesn’t and actually, I have noticed that before.  Oh, OK, thanks.

This  man  can also take one look at me and tell which bra I am wearing. So I know how sincere and true his comments are—he is VERY observant. I am truly blessed to have a man that still notices me at 60!!  Thanks Rex for being you and in my life!!

Word Economy

“A stitch in time saves nine”

“It takes two to tango”

“In for a penny, in for a pound”

Don’t you just love those sayings?  They say A LOT with very few words.  For example “a stitch in time saves nine”…how true, if you fix a repair, situation, or whatever when you first become aware of the need for action  you will save yourself a lot of time and grief.  Waiting and letting things fester or get bigger is not good for your mental health….don’t put yourself through the stress.

Wow, I got totally off topic!!  I was talking about sayings and how cool it is how much is said with very few words.  My parents must have appreciated then also because I heard some growing up.

My Mother’s favorite--- “Can’t learn any younger”.

My Dad’s favorite (he actually had 2)

1.  Pay attention, you might learn something.

2.  You might as well be useful as well as ornamental.

Word economy—gotta love it!!

I Like Your Attitude!!

I read several blogs and some  stand out.  One such blogger is Elle.  I have not been reading her blog for long but it has become one of my favorites.

Why?

I really like the way she expresses her successes along the way of her weight loss journey.  She describes in wonderful detail how thrilled she is about collarbones or the small of her back.  Or being able to physically climb stairs, walk long distances, sit comfortably, cross her legs, and other physical movements that can be challenging to an obese person.

Elle is very focused, upbeat, and enjoying the journey.  She describes her journey as an exciting exploration of new sensations.  And takes the time to describe how she feels in really nice detail.

She  appreciates each stage of her journey to a healthier lifestyle.  I have no doubt that she will be successful in reaching her healthier goals.    She doesn’t whine about setbacks, she describes how she avoids setbacks, sometimes in dialog format.  It’s a refreshing and interesting outlook and approach. 

She can be found here:

Bone Structure

I read or heard recently that when a person is obese, their skeleton adjusts itself to deal with the added weight.  Sometimes, when you lose weight quickly using gastric bypass, for example, the skeleton doesn’t return to it’s natural alignment. At least that is the impression I got.  That was kind of an interesting concept for me.

I have noticed that some people have a sort of rolling gait, if that makes sense.  And I think some of that is due to excess weight.  There is one woman that has had gastric bypass and, although she has lost A LOT of weight she still walks the same.  I wonder if her bone structure will change as she loses weight.  Seems like it should but doesn’t sound like it does.

Since your skeleton does something “un natural”, does the same thing happen to your internal organs?  Do they behave in a way that is not what they were designed for?? 

All food for thought.
