I love getting the "Doctor Dictionary" emails every day and try to use the daily word in conversation at some point. It doesn't always work out pleasantly. I'm reminded of the great billingsgate debacle of '02 - it isn't a good idea to yell out examples in mixed company.

Today's word is a good one and has been my primary purpose for the past 303 days. It has been a gradual process of good intent, planning, and massive action and I'm becoming more pleased with the results daily. I still have a ways to go to hit optimum healthy weight but hey, one weight goal at a time.

Speaking of goals, I set a goal of losing 15 pounds by March 20th about a month ago. I'm one day a little more than 1-1/2 pounds away from making it a reality- and you know what? I'm going to make it, abso-posi-lutely! You might say that I'll transmute into a lighter human being over-night.

Oy! There I go again.

This morning's smoothie was a simple mixture made different only because I just happened to be out of a couple of my regular ingredients.
