is the War of Jenkins Ear I found the German site first: War of Jenkins Ear
Things have been "crazy busy" this past week and will continue that way through the weekend: I have to come up with three new course proposals for the college catalog by Monday. Plus write a slew of recommendation letters for students planning to go off campus in the Fall. Plus the usual weekend chores like shopping and laundry and ironing.
I started Weight Watchers on Wednesday and since we hadn't shopped appropriately was left with fewer options for healthy snacking that I would hgave liked...I really do feel quite constricted by the whole points system...but that's just because I have over-indulged with food and snacks (and wine..) for quite a while now. Tomorrow I will go and stock up on the usual suspects: salad, more fruit and veggies, some lean meat, some low-fat dairy products etc...I feel thinner already.
I was initially pretty depressed by the fact that according to the Body Mass Index with my current weight I am verging on the obese...and I would have to take off over 30 pounds to get into the normal range...that most likely will not happen...I will be happy if I can loose and keep off about 20 pounds.
I was a bit apprehensive about dieting while being so busy but I think it will be ok.
The main thing I have to keep in mind is not losing sight of the research/article/presentation. This weekend I won't get to it much-it will have to wait until Tuesday.
