Kirstie Alley gained all that weight back!

by

I was just reading this weeks People Magazine this morning and I was surprised to read that Kirstie Alley had regained all that weight she lost a few years ago! Ok .. maybe not that surprised, but she had been looking good so it’s a shame that she started over-eating again.

Apparently butter was her downfall. She put butter, tons of it, on everything. That poor girl, with her weight going up and down every few years you have to wonder how much it’s affecting her heart!

In the story she said she’s working on a new diet and she’s getting a trainer to help her start working out again. Maybe she should read some Patentrim reviews as that stuffs supposed to work.

Do you yoyo diet? Or have you ever lost a lot of weight only to gain it all back plus more … maybe more than once?





I need to find better magazines to read

by

It seems that every magazine that I read lately is doing their annual top 50 or top 100 most beautiful people. I hate those types of issues. I just sit and turn the pages … totally un-fascinated by the very short stories and photos.

Do you like those types of issues or do you hate them like I do?

Even worse is when they talk about celebrity diets! Fasting, cleansing and of course ones that discuss the best diet pills etc.

Maybe I need to read other types of magazines. LOL Ok well I do read other types of mags – gardening ones, Canadian ones like MaClean’s and Chatalaine and others, but I do like ones like People and Hello too and those are the ones that have some issues that I just totally hate and might as well not bother reading.

What kinds of magazines do you like to read.

I’ll be in shape for summer

by

The other day I wrote a post on my other blog about how I’ve been losing weight lately thanks to having been sick at the end of April. That’s one thing about Crohn’s … when it’s acting up you can lose a lot of weight – often weight you don’t need to lose – quite quickly!

I certainly won’t be needing any weight loss pills to get in bathing suit shape by summer!

I’m actually starting to worry that I might lose too much weight if this doesn’t stop or slow down soon!

What’s worse, I feel awful. I had to stop one of the Crohn’s meds that I just started taking in April, last week because I have to have a biopsy on a thyroid tumor on Thursday. The medication I was taking can thin your blood so I had to stop taking anything that might slow clotting and thin the blood. So I’m in pain!

Hopefully when I can restart my meds at the end of the week they’ll kick in and make this Crohn’s flare go away! That will stop the rapid weight lose and of course all the abdominal pain that I’ve been having. I hope!

God, I hate being sick, I really do!

Side effects while on Depro Provera

by

You’d think that once you reach adulthood your skin problems would be over, wouldn’t you? I never had really bad skin as a teenager, but it seems that I’m starting to have a few problems now.

Maybe my skin problems are caused by the Depro Provera that I’ve been on for a year now. My face is breaking out a little bit and so are my shoulders. Nothing bad, but considering that I’m used to not having any kind of skin problem it’s bothersome.

Oddly enough I’ve started paying more attention to acne skin treatment ads. I know that I don’t need any heavy duty acne treatments, but maybe I’ll by some Clearasil or something the next time I’m out shopping.

Anyone else experience skin problems while on Depro Provera? I think it’s also causing other problems too … I’m sweating more when I walk or when I’m active than I ever used to do. I think I might go off it soon!

I think I deserve a holiday

by

Sorry I haven’t written for a while. I’ve just been feeling awful lately. I actually had a reaction to a new medication I was trying, Sulfasalazine, two weeks ago, and it made me feel so bad that up until a few days ago I was basically just laying around trying to get through each day. It’s awful when you medications that you’re taking to feel better make you feel 10 times worse!

I think that after all I’ve been through this year alone it might be time to try to take a holiday … well if my body will co-operate and let me feel good enough to go away for a few days. I’d love to go to Vegas for the weekend, maybe our long weekend in May … hmmm, that sounds good! One of our friends recently went to Vegas and stayed at the Stratosphere hotel. She really enjoyed the place so maybe I’ll see if they have any deals coming up.

Don’t get me wrong … I’m glad spring is here, but after being so sick for the last two weeks I could use a break from home. I’m sick of looking at my house. I need to get out.

Do you need a vacation or short get away too?
