Update on the List of 8

Because I've had several readers send me emails/comments about some of the items on my list, I thought I would go ahead and address them here:

1. Anonymous and everyone else: I am more than happy to share how I lost the weight.
There are some products that I'm taking (non-prescription) that have helped me. I won't share exactly what they are here, as they are not necessarily made for weight loss and I don't want anyone saying I'm pretending to be a doctor/health guru. That said, if you're interested in what they are simply send me an email (I think it's find-able if you click to look at my profile, otherwise it's qatoblog a t gmail.com) and I will email you back. You can still do this anonymously by going to a free email site and signing up for a free email account. Just make sure you put qato or something like that in the subject line.
Mostly what I'm doing is eating less and moving more. I walk as much as I can, and help some friends out on their farm as much as possible. I try to pay attention to what I eat (keeping a food journal helps lots of people, but I can't ever seem to keep one for more than a couple of days no matter how well I'm doing). I don't really deny myself anything, but when I want a brownie I only have a bite or two as opposed to the whole thing.

2. Yes, I will share the skunk vs. ambulance story. Look for it coming up.

3. Yes, I am willing to share pictures of our dogs after their most recent haircut. I just have to figure out how to hook the camera up to the computer and get the picture on the blog. Shouldn't take me more than 6 or 8 months, tops. (Seriously, I'll try to figure it out this weekend.)

4. Yes, I used to use drugs. Lots of them. Frequently. I no longer partake in "better living through chemistry." The only drugs I take are ones that are prescribed, and only when it is absolutely necessary.

I think that about covers it.
