OK, I’m going to test my will power by joining Weight Watchers® before the Christmas holiday. Think I can stick with it?
Every year at physical time, my doctor’s scales
seem to creep up and up and every year he says, “Join Weight Watchers. It’s the only program that works.”
So as I sit here typing away in my too tight jeans and wishing I could live in my pajamas, I am making a new commitment to lose this unhealthy weight. I am going to give the new Weight Watchers Points Plus program every effort. 100% dedication.
Amidst gingerbread men and decadent fudge, my weight will fall! If I waited until after the holidays to begin my new diet, I would only have that much more to lose. Why wait?
I checked the WW site and found my closest meeting place is only 5 miles away! Another goal! With my trusty pedometer, I’ll strive toward the day I’ll be able to walk that 5 miles.
This is exciting! I know I need support and motivation to lose weight and after researching other plans I really feel Weight Watchers will work for me (and with me)!
Wednesday night will be my first meeting. Wish me luck! By joining Weight Watchers before the Christmas holiday, I should be well on my way by New Years!

Bed Bug Invasion in the Empire State Building!

The New York Daily News has reported a bed bug
invasion in the Empire State Building!
The blood sucking bed bugs have become a problem for the whole country but now they are striking our landmarks.
Previously in New York City, the bed bugs were found in a movie theater, a Victoria’s Secret lingerie store and the clothing store of Abercrombie & Fitch.
The nasty bugs are hitchhikers and travel in suitcases, handbags and even your laptop bags. They can live a whole year without eating which makes them especially hard to get rid of.
All they need to be happy is a warm body to suck blood from. They don’t care if you are young or old, rich or poor, dirty or sparking clean. They’ll suck your blood at night and you won’t even feel it. They’ll leave you with red, itchy bites.
During the days they will hide out in mattresses, bed springs, bed frames, under carpeting and even electrical outlets.
It’s suggested you encase your mattress and box springs
You can also smooth Vaseline on the bed legs to prevent the bugs from crawling up the legs. Vaseline also works well around the electrical wall switch plates.
Dark ink like markings (their droppings) on your sheets and pillowcases is an indicator you may have bed bugs. Check your mattress folds and bed skirts for the markings too.

Unfortunately, even though an exterminator was called promptly, the bed bug invasion in the Empire State Building will probably not be the last for New York City.
