I have just endured almost a week of the stomach flu.  It is nasty stuff and the only redeeming aspect is the weight loss I have chalked up. I know that this is temporary so I have not gone on to My Fitness Pal to update the weight.  I will wait until Sunday to do that when I might get a more realistic read-out.

One thing I will say for losing weight in this manner, it does give you a good head start and a great opportunity to keep the momentum going.  I don't mean the starvation thing.  No, I mean the eating only when your body tells you to.

I can honestly say I have not binged in 8 days.  Of course, we know the reason for that, but 8 days is 8 days and I plan on building on that number.

This blog was the first one I ever wrote and I began it while taking my first online class. I have since participated in about 8 of classes and loved every one.  I wouldn't say I am a professional student; at least not like I am a professional calorie counter.  I just enjoy studying about writing; all kinds of writing.  I also love to write; all kinds of things.

I am sharing this to give you a heads up as to the changes this blog is going to undergo over the next few weeks.  I am going to begin writing more about the things we face in life--like our eating disorders.  I am moving forward and I would love to bring you with me.  I will be blogging about such things as aging, retirement, not retiring, grief, grand-kids, new beginnings, and so on.  I do hope you will stay with me and perhaps invite a friend or two along.

If there is a life stage or topic you would like to read about, contact me at the email below.  Perhaps you would like to provide a guest post.  Tel me your topic. You can email me here.
