I was fascinated by an episode of Oprah last week that featured tips on slowing down the aging process and preventing cancer. Because of this, I find it highly necessary to link to the info because everyone should know what they are doing in the bathroom and how what is put into the body affects what comes out.

Read the third little ditty about "Everybody Poops." Actually, read them all, but this one is fascinating. I never have seen or really understood what the colon does, but now I have! And I'm not too ashamed to say that I enjoyed it. It's good to know how your parts function.

Hello, world!

I've been adjusting to some changes in my body's hormone level for the past couple of months. I've become more introverted and have had feelings of depression. It really sucks, but my doctor has suggested that it should even out in the next month or so. It's certainly not an overwhelming thing that I feel is beyond my control, but it seems to have affected my blogging. Heh.

I've had all these projects around the house to do and have done nothing. And while I have started a terrific walking regimen (the new pedestrian bridge over the beltline from Meredith College to the NC Museum of Art is open and I hit it just about every day during the work week), I have slacked greatly in my Curves workouts since mid-April. I'm really trying to keep an eye on what I eat and my water intake while I'm slacking off. I'm hoping that if i keep walking that the strength training I am lacking at Curves won't be so hard to return to.

I really just don't like myself right now, though I know that's probably just the hormones.

This is fun stuff, let me tell ya.

I'll check back in a few.
