Trim is in and my continuing quest to become my thinner me is still...

My slim is in the works but progressing rather slowly for my liking.
I even increased my reps again tushy roll to fifty and all other exercises to thirty!
Let me give you the run down again:
1.tushy rolls, 50 reps, lying on back legs bent towards chest then roll from side to side
2.bent knee tummy crunches, 30 reps
3.straight legs together lifts on back half way up, 30 reps
4.side leg lifts bottom knee bent extended half way up too, 30 reps
5.other side leg lifts knee bent extended half way up too, 30 reps
6.three pound free weights(still) on either side of Yoga mat lying with knees bent, lift clenched weighted hands to the count of thirty from the elbow simultaneously and done!
Altogether now, sound good? I do think so.
Remember this is coming from a woman who was basically sedentary for nearly three years, no walking or anything! And if you recall I did start with only five exercises with 10 reps way back on December 22.2010!

Sadly I scoured the net today to find out why this weight thingy to lose has become so difficult for me and what I found out was what I was most afraid of…my medication is causing the countering of my determination to lose this weight!
As I first investigated four of my prescribed medications, including my daily injections are doing me in!
I checked one of the many discussion groups and found out that many felt that they had to weigh whether having no more active lesions was more beneficial than becoming obese, some gained as much as forty to eighty pounds, and unable to move with their limited abilities, either way it is a lose, lose situation. Only no weight losses, ha and not funny at all! I was wondering if that was the case since I did know the other medications that I am on were weight gainers for me and now with this additional confirmation of my newest addition I will be reevaluating when this year is up in July. Since I seem to be stable at this time, perhaps my time will be right to try either a new pill form of medication or go without for a while… only time will tell.

Hubby was Mr. Edward Scissor hands but with actual shears in hand and mechanical clippers, he pruned back our Bougainvilleas, one by our patio and the other down by the water and our Hibiscuses alongside of the fence and also the Cape honeysuckle on the garage side which has a tendency to drop those pretty orange flowers all over the place; it does work well as a canopy there though.

On some nights I may sound more articulate than others I am sure you all have noticed those nights that I so enjoy utilizing my Thesaurus! Oh what fun to learn new words for the common ones I definitely redundantly use. I am sure you all remember the power of the Thesaurus on those school papers that those teachers loved to read.
Any-who, it’s always a plus to encourage lexis expansion, true?

On that somewhat pretentious usage of a fifty dollar word, ha, kidding, I am just a simple semi-illiterate gal who tries sometimes a little too hard!
Let me please be the first to wish you all a very happy good night to all and ask you to kindly count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
