Weighty Matters

So here I am about the weight again. I did mess myself up, and had a false start on the Simmeons Protocol. My husband, Bob is doing well. He has lost 9lbs in 7 days. Not bad at all when you consider that 2 of them were gorge days. Yes, gorge days. He stuffed himself silly. I get to redo this too. I am debating whether I should start as early as Sat, or whether my body needs a few more days to adjust to the new thyroid hormone.

He has never, in the last 10 years ever made past the point he is at today. I won't post his weight yet, if he continues as is, I will post his weight along with pictures. I will also post where you can go to get more information on the Simmeons Protocol and HCG.

A Hero We Should Be Hearing About.

This came around in an email today, and I have to wonder why we keep hearing about the childish and rude antics of the so-called celebrities, instead of the the wonderful actions of heroes like this.
Courage.You're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .. It's November 11, 1967. LZ (landing zone) X-ray.
Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 yards away, that your CO (commanding officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in. You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter. You look up to see a Huey coming in. But ... It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it. Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway.
Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come. He's coming anyway.And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctors and nurses and safety. And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!! Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm.
He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey.
Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise, Idaho . May God Bless and Rest His Soul. I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch about Michael Jackson and Tiger Woods.
Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman
Shame on the American media !!! Now ... YOU pass this along to YOUR mailing list. Honor this real American. Please.

First real motorcycle ride here in Florida.

OK. Bob is planning a nice little ride for just the two of us, since his dad isn't here to take our son on his bike. We are riding to Ocala State Park and packing a picnic. Bob has been riding ever since he got down here, and he took me on a couple of short rides, but this will be the first real one. We will take the camera and post the trip.

Is it just me?

I was watching the news today with growing atonishment and bewilderment. How can our congress sit there and point their fingers at the people from Goldman Sachs, when half of them were on the dole, and at leats 6 former members of the company are in the Whitehouse? And why are they so into blaming the private sector, when THEY were saying nothing was wrong, each of the 16 or 17 times this was brought up before them before the crash?

Do you remember the kid in school who caused the trouble and then sat there and tattled on everyone else? Remember how that kid was always in the center of the storm, but always wiggled out by blaming the noisier children? Sounds like our congress. No wonder we hate the weasels so badly!

I think 80%+ would sell their own mothers to the devil for a vote. What will they do to this country for a vote? They are short-sighted, spoiled, self-indulgent, untrustworthy, spineless, and some are down right traitorous. We need to get fresh blood and not keep them long enough to get corrupt. While we are at it, this was never meant to be a career path! How about we do away with perks and pensions?!?

How can we seriously expect people who call Arizona a police state, and at the same time call for the Guard to rule Chicago to be intellectually honest? Stop and think about that. They are calling Arizona a police state, because police can ask for both license and proof of residency at traffic stops, but they want marshal law instituted in Chicago. And they see no conflict of interests, no irony, no hypocrisy in that?

Really!! Is it just me?

Weight issues

Weight is my bane, and it is, quite frankly, killing me. I was an undiagnosed hypo-thyroid sufferer for years. Three times I endured undiagnosed postpartum induced hypothyroid. I gained 30lbs with each pregnency. Long story-short. I gained over 100lbs, and feel like I am suffocating.

Forget what you read in the MD's offices about true hypo-thyroid people only gaining 10lbs. I have been on the blog, and web support sites and have read way too many post from people like me. Dr. Mark Hyman also reinforced our experiences in his books.

So I did something drastic, and I will be letting you all know about it. I got on HCG. Now I tried this once before, with injections in belly fat. It worked really well until someone dropped it out of the fridge and it got warm. That made it loose it's potency. I just didn't have the money to do it again. But I found a homeopathic version that can be used in drops absorbed under the tongue. I may have to restart the thing, because I messed up at the beginning.

Tomorrow if I have not started the weight loss process, I will go off of it for a few days and retry it.
Here I am entering the digital world! If you noticed the an' 'at, you too are a former resident of Western PA. Welcome all of your Bible clingin', gun toten' scared losers! All other are also welcome.
