I am pleased to report that not only am I still exercising daily but now I am doing something about the way I eat. I deliberately did NOT put “dieting” here.
Last night we watched Paul McKenna’s television program: “I can make you thin” and now we are following his regime.
There are several episodes to this program and I will miss some of them. However so far we have been given four Golden Rules.
1. Eat when you are hungry. If you think you are hungry, drink a glass of water because often we are dehydrated not hungry. If you are still hungry after that then eat.
2. Eat what you want.
3. Eat conscientiously…put your knife and fork down between bites and chew each mouthful at least 20 times; have no distractions (no television, reading or puzzles while eating).
4. Stop when you are full. (eat one meal with your eyes closed so you can really concentrate on what you arae eating and listen to the signals from your stomach).

Paul McKenna has shown us the results from several people and they are dramatic. Not only have these people lost a lot of weight but they have kept it off for several years… and they eat the foods they like! No more yo-yo dieting!

Certainly worth a go. What I like about it is: If you are hungry then eat! I don’t know about anyone else but if I am forbidden something to eat then my mind cannot stop thinking about it!
Here’s to success!!!!

For over a week now I have been doing a few Qi Gong (pronounced Chi Gung) exercises. This is thanks to my exercise buddy, who sent me a cd of Qi Gong exercises that i can follow. It is about 25 minutes of a simple exercising regime - I just put the cd into the player and watch it on tv. However although it is simple, it doesn’t mean I amm doingthem correctly yet. However I am sure I am more energised because of them.
I am also still maintaining my cycling, weight lifting and steps that I have been doing for many weeks now.

I have received the birth certificate of Mary Ann Holley and it gives her parents as James Holley and Mary Ann Willand. Now I know I have the right parents! (They are my GGGrandparents)
The marriage cert. of Mary Ann Holley and James Maddock however only lists their ages as “Full Age” so we know they are at least 21 years old. The birth cert. gives Mary Ann Holleys Birthday as 14th Dec 1863.
The marriage certificate of Mary Ann Holley’s parents show the names to be James Holley and Mary Willan (no “d”). I know I have the right people here, so maybe it is a transcription error?
