Health and Wellness

The Google 15
An excellent weight-tracking tool that keeps track of your moving weight average over time so that no single weigh-in is a cause for ecstacy or despair.
Understanding Your Tests
A good preliminary resource for understanding your lab work (though of course it's no substitution for discussing results with your doctor)
FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal
An essential tool for me during my first 6 post-op months -- and a good reality check for anyone keeping track of daily food intake (e.g., calories, fats, carbohydrates, etc.) and activity levels
Gmaps Pedometer
A wonderful tool that allows one to map exercise routes and calculate miles covered and calories burned

Products I Like

Spanx
A line of comfortable foundation garments (and even easy-to-pack clothing) that comes in handy post-op to corrale that wayward, formerly obese flesh and make you feel comfortable. Available online, at Lane Bryant in larger sizes, at Nordstrom in smaller sizes, and sometimes at outlets for less.
Pure Protein RTD shakes
At an average of 35 grams of protein, 3 grams of carbs, and 160 calories, these ready-to-drink shakes work for me because I can chill them, grab them, pack them, and go. Available from a variety of online sources or at GNC stores.
Perfectly Sweet
Expensive but excellent source for sugar-free and no-sugar-added bakery and candy items.
Low Carb Corner
As near as I can tell, this site sells nothing but two kinds of breakfast cereal -- but as one who's avoided cereal since my DS surgery because it contains virtually no protein and far too many carbs, Protein Crunch is a wonderful option (i.e., 27 grams protein, 2 net grams carbs). It's horrifyingly expensive but for WLS cereal lovers, it's worth the occasional splurge.

100 Notable Books of the Year

Link: 100 Notable Books of the Year - 2007 - New York Times.

And I've read precious few of them. How sad is that?! However, now I have a list of sorts to refer to when I'm picking my next book to curl up with.

I've just read the kind comments that some folks left on yesterday's entry and was so touched. Happily, today is a much brighter day. As *S* observed, some days are just ... grey ... now and then. It happens.

But today's not grey. Today is actually a beautifully clear, crisp autumn day, inside my head and out. I'm getting some work done at home this morning, and then heading out for some shopping this afternoon. I see a delicious sugar-free gingerbread latte in my future today.

Comments

Man, this is why DH reads the culture section and I do the less guilt-inducing sections, like business. ;) Glad today is brighter. Got quite a bit written yesterday and, after a brief foray into genealogy this morning (we have another almanac deadline looming), I'm back in the saddle.
