A Fun Tag

So I always enjoy a good tag, especially when the questions are interesting.  Today I was tagged by Spunkysuzi and I though I would play along.  Since I did the same type of tag last week (with different questions), I thought I would change things up and do a video for this one instead of text.  I think many of my readers have already done several tags so I wont formally tag anyone, but if you have not done it yet and would like to, please feel free and consider yourself tagged.  I love your comments, so let me know what you think!!!

Thoughts On Turning 46

Well I used to always hear that 50 is "over the hill".  If that is true than I darn sure am near the summit of that hill.  I have to say so far things are OK.  With my weight loss efforts, I weigh less now than I have in 10 years.  To continue to lose weight and exercise is probably the best thing I can do to help my overall health.  However, there are some things that are changing that I cannot seem to control.

 First, I have noticed it seems like people mumble more often then they used to.  Sometimes, I find myself doing that awkward act of agreeing with someone just because I can't make out what they are saying.  People, when you are talking-SPEAK UP!  It is strange that this problem is so wide spread.  I have thought it could be my hearing, but I can hear the radio just fine.  I just turn it up.

The second thing I have noticed is they are making the print on pretty much everything too small.  I really am starting to think this could be some sort of a conspiracy.  If I want to read the label to see what is in a product-forget it-I just can't do it.  The eye doctor keeps talking about getting progressive lenses.  I am not sure, but I think that is fancy talk for bi-focals.  Silly doctor, everyone knows bifocals are for old people.

The third change I am noticing is hair.  Now ladies, I am sure you do not have this problem.  It is probably just a guy thing.  The hair on top of my head is getting a little thin, so why is it being diverted to where I don't need it.  Between my nose and my ears, I have enough extra hair for two heads!

Another change is my mind.  My wife says my memory is going because I cannot seem to remember to do all these little things she wants me to do.  I tell her that my memory is fine, it is just simply because I have my mind on more important big issues.

The last thing is....well...um...I think I forgot my last point and it was a real good one too.  I must have had some big, and more important thoughts come in and.............

Weight Loss Comedy A Fun Look at Portions

I have been on my weight loss journey for four months now and I am starting to learn the ropes so to speak.  I remember when I first started to take note of the number of calories.  You know the drill, turn the food item over to look at the nutritional information..  Of coarse if you are getting older like me this means you have to look over your glasses to read the fine print because I refuse to get progressives (a nice name for bi-focals).  Then you see the number of calories.  But it doesn't stop there.  If it's a can of soup that you plan to eat, you must now do the math!!!  Multiply the number of servings in the can (usually some odd number like 2.5) times the calories.  Wow, to a fat guy like me with a life long habit of overeating, it seems the little can of food has about half the calories I should eat for the day. LOL!  So in this sense, I made this video a while back that is looking at proper portions from the eyes of this fat guy.  Remember, it is just a joke and not serious...hope you enjoy!
