Good Old Exercise

Well, once again I have started an exercise program.  How many of these over the last 50 years, I couldn't even count.  But a few of the women in the marina go for a walk at 7 in the morning, and when I first heard about it, I put it down to "NOT ME" but was feeling rather yucky for a couple of days, and thought I had better do something about it, hence, the walk thing.  I have been pretty faithful to my Cinch program, and have dropped 35 pounds or so, but weight never seems to go and fast as it comes, ergo, increase exercise.  Little did I know that when I agreed to walk with these people that the 2 Jack Russel terriers would set the pace and the women would dash to keep up.  So for the past couple of days, I have been last man on the totem pole, and waaaaay behind the rest.  I assume this is going to improve with practice, altho, I think that maybe I should get a Basset Hound to walk, which is about my pace.

The first place we all go is to Majuro, which is the check in port for yachts coming mostly from the south. But don't let yourself get stuck here, and miss the other atolls. I know how easy it is, there is a Tues. night yachties night out, and it seems hard to get away when Tues is coming up soon. Also shipping boat parts and even coffee in from the US is relatively cheap because of the US postal service here. So many distractions that keep us all tied to buoys. But drop the buoy and go exploring. it is really worth it. The atolls are all really different. They have had a variety of influences. Woje and Maleolap in particular played a large part in the wars, so there are sunken ships and planes to ...

Diabetes, and What you Should Know

What You Should Know About Diabetes Actors Tom Hanks and Halle Berry. Former  American Idol  judge Randy Jackson. Tennis champion Billie Jean King. Former major league pitcher David Wells. Singer Patti LaBelle. Comedian Drew Carey. Former  The View  cohost Sherri Sheppard. What do these celebrities have in common? They all have type 2 diabetes: a disease that anyone – even world-class athletes and the rich and famous – can be diagnosed with. With more than 5.3 million Canadians living with diabetes and more than 5.7 million with prediabetes (that’s almost one third of all people in this country), it’s easy to think that this disease is unstoppable… …until you listen to what Dr. Jamie McManus, Chief Advisor of Medical Affairs for Shaklee Corporation, has to say about it. This is absolutely not true. In fact, type 2 diabetes is 100% preventable. Look at Sherri Sheppard; she credits type 2 diabetes with  saving her life . In her book  Plan D: ...
