Herbs and Splices

It's like a pilot breaking the sound barrier...

Okay maybe that's a little dramatic, but I've broken the 190lb barrier. All the way to 186!

It's about time I went over to the blood pressure thingy at the drug store and see how I'm doing...the last time, around Christmas, rather than give me a read out it just said "check yourself into the hospital, you fat out of shape pig"... or words to that effect.

Anyway, now I'm Mr. Healthy, the weather's great and my shorts are waiting... I'm feeling Herbalicious.

By the way, if you're in the Cobourg area, there's a great deal at the Elgin Street Herbal One. The first ten people who come in and sign up for the full program get a starter kit free (worth about a hundred bucks). They're right beside The Party Place, kitty-korner to the Northumberland Mall.

Halfway Herb

I'm doing my happy dance!

Today I'm half way to my goal of dropping 40-pounds. This surprises me, because I usually go for the comfort foods when I'm stressed.

Last week I had to rent a more powerful sump pump after the two I have just couldn't keep up. Needless to say, some minor water problems in the basement before I could get it hooked up. Evereything's fine now but the stress of dealing with that and having laryngitis for the second time in about two months ( I see my career ending before mandatory retirement...I'm very paranoid about these things) and I'd usually be headed for the Haagen Daz.

Anyway, the thought of a scolding from the Herbal One ladies sent me straight on a route to the apple dish. A nice Courtland can be very comforting, doncha know. And don't get me wrong about the Herbal One girls... they're very supportive, they don't scold... but I know what they're thinking. Did I mention my paranoia?

Anyway, it's the start of week-8 and I'm Herbaling along.

Herbal One Day Later

Yesterday marked the beginning my fifth week on the Herbal One plan. So the good news, I've dropped a total a 30-inches....no, I'm not shorter... I'm talkin' circumference (waist, neck, butt, chest, legs, arms etc.).

I'm also down 16 pounds or about 4 a week, which is a little better than average... mind you when I started I was also somewhat larger than average, so I guess it all averages out.

My buddy at Energy, JC Coutts is doing phenominally well... 40-odd pounds since November... he's a shadow of his former self.

Herbal One.. try it.. it works!! Peterborough and Cobourg.
