Possibly because I am doing it so fast. I hate the comments since you can't go back and change them! But I agree when I am writing so quickly I often seem not to spell things wrong as much as type a homonym for some reason... like it is the first spelling my brain assumes and I just freakin' type it and then of course I read it the way I meant it... and added bonus spell check won't catch it either!Mrs Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082932653215907248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-41337692019688813192007-09-30T21:39:00.000-04:002007-09-30T21:39:00.000-04:00Spelling mistakes.

Our brain "fixes" it for us. I shared that theory with my kids when I was a teacher and they used it all the time. "Miss Tierney--I didn't even see that--my brain fixed it for me!" It was cute. Obviously some of them were full of shit, but it let the really bad spellers off the hook and they didn't feel as ashamed. I am personally a very good speller. I am not always careful, especially in casual writing like in a blog--or late at night--but I honestly think it is an innate skill. You either have it or you don't. I know plenty of very intelligent people who can't spell to save their lives and others of us have always been able to spell correctly. Some of it I attribute to reading--I read like crazy my whole life and I think the more you see words, the better you spell them. But I also think for some people it is just missing--like a genetic quirk or something! And I hate for kids to feel bad about that. Some kids are careless but many simply don't know how to spell and don't see their own errors. Parents often get all worked up about it and want to know what I (teacher) or they could do to fix it. I tried to establish the difference between being careless and simply not knowing and pretty much encouraged them to back off and let it be. Okay--holy tangent, BatMan. :)E.

My mom has exercised for 30 mins several times a week for years and still managed not to be able to lose weight at that level. #1 you are a man.... and ten years ago you were a man in his 20s! Women need to work harder to lose those pesky fat stores! #2 age is a factor here. I think 30 min for cardio health or to maintain is probably ample for most people.... as long as they work hard for 30 min. My mom, for one, is definitely not running! I think it depends what you want out of your weight loss and how quickly you want to see results. Obviously I am pushing myself and seeing big results.. I find that much more motivating .... I'd rather kick it out a little longer and see bigger changes. I'd also rather make up more of my calorie deficit with exercise than food :)Mrs Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082932653215907248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-90704556840200108232007-09-30T17:42:00.000-04:002007-09-30T17:42:00.000-04:00too... shmoo.. that's nothing!lol.

I don't disagree that 60+ minutes of exercise will show big results, I don't agree that it's a necessity. If you're working on your eating habits, you can see good results with 30 minutes a day. I also think it's much more realistic for most people. <BR/><BR/>10 years ago, when I lost 50 pounds, I did it by exercising on a machine (called an airwalker) 30 minutes a day, and following good eating habits.<BR/><BR/>I've never gotten back to that low point I was at over 10 years ago, but I have had my ups and downs. My problem is I eat whatever the hell I want. It's only the exercise that's keeping me from exploding.michellinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034726778989565660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-58833061932357613102007-09-30T17:16:00.000-04:002007-09-30T17:16:00.000-04:00Dammit..

From the day with the picture of the scale at 117--you typed 'pubic' instead of 'public.' Hee, hee. Yes--my mom will eat something half rotten if it means not throwing it away. And I think that is why I am overboard in the opposite direction. When I go to their house I am always checking dates and sniffing everything before I dare eat it. GROSS!

I don't have an issue with throwing out food, really. Obviously I am not purposely wasteful, but I don't really overeat just to save food. (I'm the opposite--"This is one day old. Does it smell weird? What's that funny spot? Mold must be invisible before you can see it so there could be mold...ew! Throw it out!") By biggest mistakes, I think, are: not being prepared. (Packing my lunch on work days can be hard.) Snacking out of boredom and/or habit. Example: popcorn when I watch a movie. Empty carbs. I do have a bit of an emotional eating issue, too--not like I am distraught and eat a tub of ice cream, more like--I'm tired, bored, cold--I want a hot chocolate. There's a perfect apple in the fridge, but I'm "not in the mood"--I want something else...I am a moody-eater. Good for your mom! I don't feel like I lost anythign real this week but I dragged my ass o the treadmill at 6:30 even though I wanted nothing to do with it and--like almost always--once I started I actually liked it! Oka--this time, I really am goign to bed. ;)E. Broderick Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885689928800846073noreply@blogger.com
