As usual, I don't have a lot to report beyond a couple of pounds and perhaps another fraction of an inch.
It occurs to me though that taking a good multivitamin is essential to lose weight so I decided to look into that a bit. I've recently changed multivitamins and the new one is producing better results than the cheaper Target brand.
It turns out that I am at least partially right in my intuition about it. It's said that as we take the vitamins, it boosts the immune system so our bodies don't hang on to the fat in fear that more nutrients won't be coming.
Since I've been on the new one for a few weeks and pounds are beginning to drop off instead of just inches.
I am not an active person by nature. I live a very quiet, sedate life that doesn't include the usual busy-ness that many others experience. In some ways, my daily life is actually rather contemplative. I sit a lot. During spring and early summer, I walk a good number of miles but I need all the help I can find on the "off-season".
So this week's discovery is that a good multivitamin helps even those of us who are not overly active. Green tea also seems to be boosting my metabolism. I am still walking 30 minutes a day, even if it is only walking in place.
For the next few weeks, I have a motivator. I spent quite a bit of money (which I can ill-afford) on another shipment from Thailand. The wrap pants I bought are a bit tight so I'd better get the exercise on.
Chok dee (good luck) to all this next week. :)
Peace,

MILF Friday on Saturday

Since I was puzzled by your title, I went to search on Wikipedia and found this:
" slang) Mother I'd like to fuck: A (putative) mother found sexually attractive.
* 1999: Movie American Pie - "Dude, that chick's a MILF!"
Usage note
* MILF has become a much-used descriptor on the Internet for pornography sites featuring women mostly between the ages of 35 and 50."
So, I wondered two things(if this is what you mean by MILF):
1.Are those MILFs only fuckable on Fridays ?
2. Is it impossible after 50, because, in this case, I have no more chance !!!
Chani,
bravo. and good thoughts on the multi - i've wondered that myself.
am wondering if you might take a picture of the box of thai loveliness. i'd love to see all the colors and fabrics. i know you'll say no if it's not your deal.
Mayou, I am sitting here laughing and blushing. I had no idea of that meaning, only that it stands for "Melt Inches, Lose Fat".
It just goes to show how utterly naive I am. ROTFL!
Peace,
~Chani
Jen, I will try to take some pictures when I can fit my fat hiney in the wrap pants. LOL
I bought some more for spring. Thai clothes seem to wear out a bit faster than western clothes so each season requires its own shopping.
:)
Peace,
~Chani
Oh, that's a riot that you though MILF was for Melt Inches Lose Fat. I had sort of wondered why you chose to use that acronym, because i only knew the other meaning.
And hey, slow progress is what it's all about when losing weight. Keep it up.
I didn't have any idea in any context what MILF was!
I'm with Jen. Why don't you take pics of what's in the box when you're opening it. That would be fun. At least for us!
I'm a sedentary body and soul too, and I really hate the diet culture in which we leave. I've been on a good vitamin and green tea every day for years, but I'm not sure it's doing me any good.
Good for you! I started taking a multi-vitamin again too. I'm always anemic and my thyroid was removed a few months ago so I'm tired all the time-even though I take a thyroid supplement. I do notice a difference in how I feel and walking actually gives me more energy. *HAHA!I thought you were using the same MILF definition as Mayou did!!
OH WOW! I never would have thought that taking vitamins would help promote weight loss...
It completely makes sense. I can't wait to try...
Thanks so much and good luck! It's so not easy. ~M
Chani - happy taht you are continuing to add incrementally to your "diet quest". In your case, tho, I feel it is more of a health quest.
I wondered about you using the term MILF, not because I find it offensive, but because I don't often see you using language like that in your blog.
Oh yes - pics of the fabrics, please!
This MILF discussion has me in hysterics.
Chani, I, too, thought it was funny you were using the term...and now, I am on the floor.
woohoo, sisters.
The whole thing just cracks me up! Honestly, I just got the idea from another blogger who is sponsoring the weekly check-ins. LOL
Even though I am certainly no spring chicken, there are many things I don't know about. I've always lived kind of a quiet, introverted life and.... (still laughing)... this one just reached out from my ignorance and bit my butt.
I will just continue to think of it as "Melting Inches, Lose Fat".
ROTFL
~Chani
Oh! I am disappointed. I thought you used the term by derision, and I found it fun...
Your picture is wonderful. I have copied it for some of my exercising friends with pets! As for the slang title...I prefer your take on it. My generation has a hard time with the F---- word.
So funny this little mix-up! Chani , hang in there. You are doing everything right. Down the line your weight loss will be permanent. That's what counts. We are all cheering you on!
Let it never be said that the blog-world isn't a world of learning. LOL
Ginnie, I have trouble with the f--- word as well. It's a violent, aggressive and disgusting word. That isn't to say that I've never dropped an f-bomb in my life.. but truly, I don't like it.
The "it's only a word folks" always amuse me. If we extrapolate that, well, I guess the n-word is "just a word", too.
Words matter.
Peace,
~Chani
I'm glad the whole MILF thing is out. I was wondering too...Mayou, thanks for coming right out and asking.
Also, as a Poodle owner, I love this picture. My dog could not gain weight if she ate nothing but liverwurst, as she'd prefer.
I slacked off on taking my vitamin when my husband stopped setting it out for me every morning (that says a lot right there, but let's not go there), but this gives me another reason to get back in that habit.
Hilarious picture. And thanks for reminding me about the vitamins. I started taking them today and had no idea exactly how they helped with the weight loss. Good to know! And I love the clothing you are showing on your site. So pretty!
And to Mayou - You can be a MILF anytime in life lady! I hope I'm still f'able afte 50!
Don't worry, it works VERY well after 50!!!
