The heat index is what I care about lately. How hot does it feel? How much more heat can we stand?
The temperature, humidity and lack of a cool breeze have made it feel like over 100 degrees for almost 3 months straight now. We still have all of August and most of September as our summer. Ugh!
We sure could use a couple of weeks of cooler temperatures.

With the problems in the Gulf of Mexico and the big oil spill, I am worried that buying fresh fish at the market is going to become a problem here. I asked the seafood and deli clerk at Publix if they are having any trouble getting the fish and she said that they are fine, no trouble yet. Thanks good to hear, but I worry about the winter and spring as the full effects become more evident.

My best friend Beth has decided to have the Breast Augmentation surgery and I support her decision 100%. She did a lot of soul searching and got a lot of input from me, I do not know if that was much help or not. One web site that she has used to help herself with this important decision was the web site Looking Your Best. They have a great web site with so much useful information.
After a lot of talking and checking information Beth has decided to go forward and I think she made her decision from the web site at Looking Your Best and I know she will be alright from what I have learned from their very helpful web site too. I will be thinking about this life changing procedure myself and when I start to make that decision I too will be checking out the web site at Looking Your Best.

With my annual check up due this week I will find out if I have done my part to reduce cholesterol, this has been my goal for over a year now to get my cholesterol back into the right range. I have been working at it, watching what I eat and having a bowl of oatmeal every morning to help in my quest. I have been checking out the web site for Reduce Bad Cholesterol, it has a lot of very useful information on it and I love the articles they have on this very nice medical web site.
Reduce Bad Cholesterol has so much information that I had to read all the information a second time to make sure I got it all. I do not consider myself to be a medical professional but I know a lot from many trips to the doctor over the years and I worked as an EMT many years ago, and what I learned in the field and in the Emergency Room have given me a leg up on bad cholesterol and I plan to make sure that I beat this killer before it gets its hooks into my heart. Eating right and going to the doctor when I am supposed to are the ammunition I am using against bad cholesterol, I hope this is enough in this important battle, because my life is on the line.

It seems that every year I do battle and a losing battle at that, against weight gain. I know that since I turned 30 it has been an uphill struggle and now that the swim suit season is here it has just become a all out war. I have dedicated myself to losing weight and fitting into the same swim suit that I wore last year, lets hope that this is a battle that I win this year. The swim suit I wore last year is stunning and I want to be able to fit in it again, soon.
