Busy Times - POSTED ON: Oct 23, 2011
Between my current house repair crisis, and handling the DietHobby YouTube Channel activity spike, I find myself incredibly busy at present.
This is actually serving me well with regards to my food-intake, and my "zero-wheat experiment" is going well. At the end of today...assuming I am successful...it will be 4 weeks. However, my exercise is almost non-existent right now, and I'm having trouble getting the other routine, normal things done. I will continue posting frequently, but for awhile, my articles may not have a great deal of Substance. There are many, many such articles in the Archives, and they are worth reading, or re-reading.
For those who are following my “Ask Grandma” videos click to see my latest one: “How To Get A Girl” which is located in DietHobby under RESOURCES, Videos, Ask Grandma.

Extremely busy right now, just checking in to say Hello, and to let you know I am eating correctly for Maintenance.
This would be a good time to check out the Archives to see if there are articles you've missed or would like to re-read.
Back Home Again - POSTED ON: Oct 19, 2011
Update on my recent mini-crisis.
I am back home again after my absence due to the Plumbing Rerouting. I looked upon it as an adventure, which is a very positive way to see things that I'd rather didn't happen.
My cat Boodie, could not tolerate being in the hotel away from home, and after the first night, was boarded by our vet in his little office kennel. She is also really, really glad to be home.
During the next few weeks, I will be dealing with construction people coming in to repair the holes in some of my walls, which will include replacing the wallpaper in both bathrooms, and painting the entire master bedroom. But, I won't have to leave home for that.
So far, I've been able to stay on my food plan during all this. I'm very tired, and am minus any other inspirational thoughts today, except for the Words of Wisdom video that I uploaded today.
Breakfast Cookies - POSTED ON: Oct 17, 2011
Recently I posted another cooking video, Cranberry Breakfast Cookies, which is located at DietHobby, under RECIPES, Sweet Tastes. This is a low-calorie, reduced-carb food when eaten in small amounts.
The Donkey - POSTED ON: Oct 16, 2011
Sharing something with you. My sister-in-law recently re-wrote this old fable and posted it on Facebook.
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal hew-hawed for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old and would surely die down there. And the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. Even if it were, he wasn’t sure how he would go about it. So he invited his neighbors to come help him bury the donkey. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey kept on crying. A few shovel loads later, the group noticed the donkey shaking the dirt off and taking a step up. As the farmer’s neighbors hurried to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he shook it off and took another step up. Pretty soon, the donkey stepped up on the edge of the well and trotted off. MORAL: It’s not what happens to you that matters, but what you do with what happens to you.
I'm working to apply this to myself, Feel free to join me.
