With Farrah Fawcett dying of cancer, it makes me think about cancer and that it’s such a horrible disease. One that we really need to find a cure for. In the area where I live, there is a lot of cases of cancer. My dad and father-in-law died from lung cancer (they were both smokers) but I’m all the time hearing of people dying from cancer. If you watch t.v. during the day, you get to see the commercials about Mesothelioma cancer and I didn’t even know what kind of cancer that was. So I did some researching. I found out that it’s a cancer associated with asbestos exposure and it can develop up to 40 years after exposure. Now that’s scary. I heard just last week that a rep from my work, her dad was just diagnosed with cancer, so I guess it got me to thinkling about it and what a terrible disease it is.

It’s time for me and Krista to get our eye exams. We both wear contacts but we both are in need of eyeglasses too. I have been looking online at some eyeglass providers. By ordering glasses online, you can really get some GREAT savings. At prices starting around nine dollars a pair, we could get a couple of extra pairs (even though we still plan on wearing contacts). The prices include the prescription lenses and you never know when you might not be able to wear your contacts, so these would make affordable back up eyeglasses. You could even make them into sunglasses. That would be great!

With a new year just a few weeks ago, I think it’s a good time to make some changes (aka New Year’s Resolutions). First, I am going to try to save more money this year. I’m going to try to achieve this by not eating out as much and not spending money on things that I don’t need or, if clothing, won’t wear. Second, I’m going to do some remodeling around the house, fix things that need fixed and make some changes. And last but certainly not least, I am going to get serious about losing weight. I talked about the lady from work, who’s on diet pills from her doctor. I also plan on working an exercise routine and sticking to it. If I decide on trying some diet pills, I can click here for the best diet pills and get the best prices that are available on the internet. Well, I guess that’s my changes for the new year….I just hope that I can stick to them. I’m going to try really hard.

With the holiday season upon us, I have been eating some type of holiday goody every time I turn around. So I’ve already started thinking about a diet after the first of the year. I don’t really want to call it a New Year’s resolution because those are usually broken. I’ve been considering the different kinds of weight loss products, such as diet pills, diet plans, and exercise programs. There’s a lady at work that’s been going to a local doctor for diet pills and a diet program. And she has lost about 35 pounds now (in about 3 or 4 months) and it’s working well for her. But I’m a little scared of pills, so maybe I’ll just try a new healthier way of living by diet and exercise.

My daughter has been wanting to lose weight for a long time now. She’s tried different diet plans (like Weight Watchers) and exercise programs (such as Curves) but nothing has worked for her…long term anyway. She’s talked about trying the Alli weight loss products because they are the only FDA-approved weight loss product available without a prescription. I not so sure about that. I feel if she would make the change to a more healthier lifestyle, by eating healthier and getting more exercise. And maybe if she started taking a CLA supplement to help reduce fat while increasing muscle that she would be more healthier and feel better about herself. Maybe this is something we could do together!

Sometimes I wish we had better health insurance. I work for a small company and it seems like the cost is higher and the benefits are not that great for us. I think maybe if I worked for a larger company with more members maybe the insurance coverage would be better and cheaper. And starting in January, most of the doctors in my local area will not be accepting my insurance. That means I’ll have to be finding a new doctor. I found this website for North Carolina health insurance, I wished Georgia had something like that. I might would just get my own insurance and then I could drop the coverage through my employer. Oh, well. I sometimes wish we had coverage like in Canada but then I have heard that it’s not so great. What’s your opinion??

This morning I was watching an informercial about Lipozene. And it sounded too good to be true but things like that usually are. I mean, a pill that says that it reduces body fat and weight without any negative side effects is too good to be true. The main ingredient in Lipozene is Glucomannan which is a soluble fiber that absorbs water which makes you feel full and then you don’t eat as much. So over a period of a couple of months you might could lose a little weight but I would suggest a good healthy diet plan such as Weight Watchers to help lose weight safely. Plus with a complete lifestyle change including a healthy diet, you could lose the weight and keep it off. Now, that would be good.

I have been trying for months now to lose weight and it is so hard to do. I really like to eat and I don’t like to exercise. I am ready to start looking for some top rated diet pills. I mean all the dieting I have been doing just isn’t working. But I want something that is safe, not too expensive and actually works. I know if I lose weight that I would feel better and have more energy but it is so hard. So maybe it’s time for a little help.
