Ways to lose weight …

by

In my last post I asked how do you lose weight?

I asked if you increase your activity by doing more workouts, going to the gym or taking long walks. Or if you try diets?

when you try to lose a few extra pounds, perhaps when you have an upcoming event or simple because it won’t be all that long before summer will be here … do you try to eat a little bit healthier? Do you eat more vegetables and fruit substituting them for carbs or sugar heavy snacks?

What about weight loss supplements ? Have you ever used them? If so did they work?

When I was a teen I tried some diet pills and they didn’t do much for me … but then, now that I think back I really didn’t need to lose any weight back then, I was a fairly skinny teenager. I think I just tried them mainly because that’s what my friends were doing.

So .. specifically … what do you do to lose weight when you need to lose maybe five pounds fast?

How do you loose weight?

I’m on a search for the best diet products. I’ve been helping a friend try to find some good weight loss products as she wants to lose several pounds within the next month.

Now she tells me that her boyfriends on the bandwagon so she wants me to try to find out something about the best fat burner for men. I have no idea!

I’m kind of a non-dieter. When I need to loss weight I eat a little less or add more veggies and fruit to my diet and I try to up my activity level. Sometimes the extra pounds don’t come off quite as fast as I’d like, but it always works if I keep at it.

How do you lose weight? Do you eat healthier? work out more often? use diets or diet products?

My head is going to explode

by

Have you ever had a headache or migraine where you thought your head was just going to explode? Yeah … if you suffer from migraines I bet you have!

I’ve had a headache all day along with visual symptoms which makes me think it’s more of a migraine and it’s getting worse and worse. I’m pretty sure that in an hour or so it’s going to be a real pounder that will have me lying on the couch moaning in pain.

Oddly enough when I was doing a search on Google a little while ago I came across a product called no xplode. It’s not a migraine product, but for people who suffer from severe migraines – don’t you think that would make a great name for a headache or migraine product?

Ok … think I’ll go rest now.

Signs the economy is improving

by

I think I found a positive sign that the economy is getting better. I’ve noticed over the last few months that the magazines that I read regularly are getting thicker.

Huh? Well .. they do have a few more articles than they did a year or so ago … but most of the extra heft of the magazines is an increase in full page and half page advertisements. I guess advertisers are more willing to put money into promoting their products via magazine ads. Of course a lot of the extra new ads are for the best fat burners but it’s a start.

I’ve also noticed that I’m getting more private advertising interest on some of my blogs and websites and my Adsense earnings have gone up over last year at this times earnings.

Have you been noticing signs that the economy is improving whether it’s your earnings going up or an increase in some kind of advertising that you’ve noticed?

I hate it when scammers come to the door!

by

I think – no I know – we just had a scammer come to our door.

My husband and I were sitting in the living room watching TV (darn House rerun!) and we heard a knock at the door. Of course this got our dog barking and Chaos erupted (as it does just about every time someone comes to the door).

We opened the door and found a guy standing on the porch with a clip board. He said he had a good look at the brick work on our house and that we were in serious need of his companies services. He said we had some cracks between the bricks that looked serious and that they needed to be taken care of soon or we’d have draught problems in the house.

The problem is … it’s dark outside and he didn’t appear t have a flash light, nor did our outdoor security lights turn on when he check out the side of the house (as he said he did) … so we know he didn’t really look at the brick work on our house and we also know that while we do have a few cracks in the brickwork none of them are in the places he said we had them. On top of that the guy had acne so bad that he should be at home applying accutane rather than bothering us!

I hate it when people try to scam home owners. You know, like those companies that try to sell you a gas or oil home heating contract, locking you in at set prices for five years and then the price of gas goes down? Argh

I think we’re just going to stop answering the door when it looks like the person knocking is some kind of salesperson.
