here's the skinny

I figured I had lost some weight. I've been moving a lot more and eating better and less. small E's scale told me I had gained 10 pounds in, like, 6 weeks. So a little test proved the scale was off, and the scale I weighed myself on in the first place isn't this one, so all that to say I'm not a tank.

vitamin report

Scottie says that to tell if the vitamins are going to do any good, they must dissolve inside of the body. To test this out, drop your vitamins in a glass of water, and hope they dissolve.


this is them just after he dropped them into the glass
















this is a few minuets later














The goal is that they break down in five minuets or so. Costco brand vitamins passed the nurse man's test!

I'm not sure if today I kicked the crud out of fitness, or if fitness kicked the crud out of me...

vitamins, shoes, and fiber

I bought vitamins. A huge Costco box of them, it's a 100 day supply of vitamin packets, with about 6 different things. B vitamins, fish oil, calcium, ginseng, a multi. So I'm about 3 days in to the first 100 days of the rest of my life.
Shoes: I was going to buy some, and I went to the sale at Fred Meyer, but nothing was comfortable enough. There was a sale at Sports Authority, and I went to that, too. I tried on a great looking, great feeling pair of gray and pink Asics. The guy said they are the ones. Comfort and longevity. Then he asked why I needed new shoes, and I told him about the blisters and all my problems, and he told me to buy Sof Sole inserts. The ones I got get heated in the oven, then put into the shoes and they are wonderful, and half the price of the Asics. Now, when I do get another pair of shoes, I am going to look at the Asics again, because they felt nice.
Fiber: Psyllium. I guess it's like sand paper for the gut and gets all the stuck gunk out. I'm excited for my 'alone time' tomorrow. I took 2 servingstoday, and should for the next 3 days, and then I should be doing pretty good. I will definately report back on this.
