Well to answer that questions, I guess I and better own up and say Nothing! I knpow that sounds a bit contradictory but nothing did happen, I just forgot about it. Ever since Thanksgiving and before the holidays at Christmas I promised my wife, in fact she insted, that I tried to cut down some on what I eat. Actually it was just the volume that I get through that she said was the problem.

But for me it ain’t easy at all! I just love food and I don’t mean junk food either. We eat pretty good most of the time and that is normally when we have time to prepare stuff properly. Only when we are out for the day do we find we don’t get what we really should get or we are just to lazy after a long day to make the effort to find what we know would be best.

But i do have to admit I have a tendency to eat more than I should and even I now think that I should cut down some on my daily intake of food, even though  I really don’t want to! So just how I am I going to do this? My wife has a few ideas, as always…

She says I should get a couple more hobbies to keep me busy, especially in the evenings when I can easily get bored, even watching TV or listening to FM radio. It’s not even that I am very overweight. The concern is that if I don’t do anyhting about it now then before I knwo it I may have a problem which is just that much more difficult to resolve. So I would much rather tackle the problem now than wait until the problem is much bigger lol!

So this is one of the reasons I started blogging but this is already proving to be a double-edge sword. Ok my mind is active on thinking and planning what to write but I do tend to spend a whole bunch of time just browsing the internet looking at stuff that interests me. Trouble is before i know it a couple of hours have gone by and I did even egt to logging in to my blog to start writing a post. So I am having fun, but not doing what I should doing.

However, I am not going to feeel guilty about this as I am enjoying myself and for the most part I am busy enough not to get bored and think about eating something. The only problem with be “at” the computrer for so long is that I am sitting for the whole of this time and this is not good. I am getting no exercise at all at this time and I should be at least getting up for a break and to stretch my legs every half hour or so, but it ain’t happening.

Also looking into the future I can seemyself spending more and more time at the computer and this could defeat the whole object of what I am trying to achieve.

So I need something else as well , but for the life of me I have no idea what!

Somebody please leave a comment and give me some ideas…

Have you noticed how we seem to have had many more natural disasters in the last few years than compared to when I was younger when they were major news as they were pretty much infrequent. These ice storms that have just hit Kentucky are just typical of what I am talking about.

The weather just seems to be getting worse and worse! Ok we still have nice days where I live, but I continually see bad reports of disasters around the world not just in the US, where nature is getting it’s own back for what we are doing to the planet. Well at least that is what it seems like to me!

In Kentucky they even had to call out the National Guard to fight the ice storm to rescue folks stuck in theri homes for over a week, some with out power and heating. That’s just crazy!

Also I guess as thing begin to thaw out many of those poor folks will be faced with leaks and potential flooding and the frustration and hassle of dealing with the insurance companies who I always feel never really want to pay very easily. So good luck to them with that and the recovery from that really bad storm.

I must also admit our local weather is not quite what it used to be either.  I don’t ever remember having droughts before at least not like last year’s and the rain and thunderstorms also all seem a lot worse than they used to. What worries me the most though is that we now seem to get bad stroms at times of the year when before the weather was always pretty calm and not stormy at all!

I can only think that this really is the effects of global warming, but what is really worrying is that this is probably just the start of worse things to come. As the planet warms even more I have read that the dramatic differences in weather patterns will be become more extreme as so will the weather that comes with these changes. Must admit that is not something I am looking forward to…

Guess we’ll just have to hope that somewhere or somehow this all settles down and goes away – just dreaming! In reality I think we have a lot of bad stuff coming our way and that combined with the current economic problems were are all probably in for a tough time ahead.

Be happy!
