This morning I woke up actually excited by the idea of doing a real workout this evening. Maybe my excitement is from the aching muscles on my shoulder and abs from playing the Wii Fit Plus with my sisters all weekend. There is just something about aching muscles that make you realize how wonderful it feels to use them. Or maybe it is from my tighter pants. Whatever the reason, I am just happy to get my workout mojo back.

Sometimes it just makes me feel “holier than thou” when I strut around the office with sore muscles the next day like some poof up peacock. I know that exercise is for my own health and for my own benefit.

It was pretty neat clicking through my online health record to find out why I had an appointment with my doctor on May of 2007. But as I click through the appointment list, I notice that the online health record also list my “official weight” at every visit. I knew I should have taken off my shoes before hopping on the doctor’s scale!

This article provides the latest information on how to prevent generic drug substitution on your name brand drug prescription. The drug manufacturers have a higher profit margin on name brand drugs, but the profit margin is higher on generics for pharmacies. Without a patent, any drug manufacturers can make generics, so a pharmacy can shop around for the cheapest generic on a particular drug.

According to Reader’s Digest, most women gain back the weight they loss for a wedding within a year of the marriage. I might have set a new record with my 2 months. It has to be the weather. Or it could be my serious face time with yummy food during my two week honeymoon. Whatever the case, my weight is up and my pants are tight.
