Hoodia turn to?

I really should be packing for my vacation, since it's now Thursday night and I fly out first thing Saturday morning, but the only thing I have packed so far is my beach bag! I guess if I plan on living in my bathing suit for the whole ten days, then I'm all set, but I think I might need a little more than a swim suit and a beach towel! I went on a shopping venture trying to find some shorts to take, considering any of mine that I like don't fit like they used to, and that make me pretty sad. I really have to get this weight thing in control. I think when I get back home I'm going to see my doctor and ask him what his thoughts on hoodia are, and if I could take it with being on my medication. I can't really see why I couldn't since it's not all chemicals, but then I'm no scientist or doctor for that matter. Overall I eat pretty healthy, but it's the night time snacking that I just can't seem to nip in the butt, so I think an appetite suppressant like hoodia, which seems to be the best there is just might do the trick to stop that bad habit. I'll keep you posted what the doctor has to say.

Whale on the beach!

Just two weeks until my vacation! W00T! But then again, when I look in the mirror I'm reminded that I haven't been on my Gazelle as much as I should have, or done as many Turbo Jam workouts as I should have. Then again, perhaps I shouldn't have just had a bowl of potato chips either. Losing weight and firming up is hard work. Number one, I love food, and especially foods that aren't necessarily good for me. I'm a freak for potato chips! And Number two, exercise is hard work, and takes time. Time away from doing other things I like to do, like sit on my butt and watch TV or play around on the computer.

I was checking into some quick fixes to shed a few pounds. Like those natural remedies that are available these days without a prescription. Products like Hoodia and Phentirimine (the non-pharmaceutical version of Phentermine) that work to suppress your appetite and are composed of natural ingredients instead of amphetamines which I would never ever consider taking anyway. But even with these natural products, there is a warning to consult with my doctor first, because although I'm not pregnant, I do have high blood pressure. So I guess the only way I'm ever going to slim down is to do it old school... no pain, no gain! Until then, it looks like it will be another vacation of "Whale on the beach"!
