I'm making a little progress
I am making a little progress with my health routine. I spent 3 hours doing yard work today. I have kinda gotten my diet under control. I am eating nothing with preservaties. And I need to confess here. I am not eating any processed foods because the preservaties make me so ill. I can eat something like lunch meat and for hours I feel like barfing. No sodas but that was easy because I don't like them. Carbs are my downfall, but I am working on that. I really have to speed this up and get in shape and lose the weight. I have popped a skin condition with the beta blocker. For the first time in around 2 years, my hands are swollen, broken open and bleeding. So I gotta get serious about this diet and exercise. I am walking again. 4 miles a day. So wish me luck.

Credit bureaus
Don't ever trust that little 3 number score you are shown when you pay those credit agencies that collect and sell your entire life. Those three little scores they show you are not the real deal and if you are trying to make a mortgage or buy a vehicle, those lenders see a totally different score, usually many points lower than what you have been shown. Your life is controlled by business and they will sell all your data at the drop of a hat and usually drop the hat themselves. And banks and credit unions, when you inquire about making a loan whether you have any intention of doing so or not, will sell the information you give them to Every. Damn. Fly. By. Nite. Lending company. Every one of them. You have no privacy any more. And do not ever think that you as a customer matter to any business or bank. You do not. You are just someone to be taken advantage of. Best scenario, go cash only. No credit cards, no checks. It is not as difficult as you think. However, you will have no credit then because every thing hinges on the number of credit cards you have. Have too high a balance, negative. Pay it off every month. Another negative. Use occasionally. Another negative. I really think that those doing those scores just toss a coin and see what comes up. There is no rhyme or reason to these three little numbers. Good luck.

I have had some healt problems
I have had some health problems, so the weight loss was on the back burner. My bad. I have had a sinus infection rocking along and making me miserable. I just thought it was my chronic sinusitis. Well, it was, but it turned into a raging sinus infection complete with dizziness, nausea, chills and general misery. I am now into a week of antibiotics. I hate taking antibiotics, but if I had not stopped taking the Allegra D, I would maybe not be in the mess I am in now. And I also have the beginnings of a kidney infection. Not bad yet. So, time to listen to my body, get it back into tiptop shape and get away from the chemicals.
I buy organic food. In fact I am heading down to the farmer's market this morning to get yard eggs and maybe some veggies if there are any available. We are in between the end of the summer veggies and the fall veggies, so I may not be able to get any veggies for a few weeks. My freezer is full of okra and squash and I have planted green beans, Trail of Tears beans, mustard greens, kale, turnip greens and beets. We'll see if I get anything from them. And I planted sweet potatoes. I need those in making food for my furry friends. I make the food for the dogs. I do not try to make the food for the cats. You can do a lot of damage because cats have such specific requirements.
I am today making a lot of dishes and freezing them in serving size containers. Actually what I do is freeze them in muffin tins, pop them out, and store in freezer bags. And do not discard those freezer bags. Wash and reuse them. More later.
