The 8 hr diet

by Leslie Jacobs


Yes, I’m on a new way of living. Staying ON THE DIET four or five days of the week I don’t eat befor 11 or Noon. Drinking two coffees black and then switching to tea helps to keep me full until noon. Then it’s a big salad, chicken and something sweet. See, with this diet you eat whatever you want for the 8 hrs and then only black coffee, tea or water.  I’ve gone from a 3x ( yeah I can’t believe it myself) to an XL. 

Now on to that L.

A Table

by Leslie Jacobs


Is this my new line of work? I love the whole process of finding or being gifted a piece of furniture and deciding on colors and function of the piece. I was going to stack the table and use as shelves, but I think it needs to be a table.

I was harassed by a College Professor

by Leslie Jacobs


Twice a week I’d go to my English class on the University of Bridgeport campus. It was an okay class except for the Professor. He turned me off with his sexual humor.  

One day, I was looking at college rings in the student center. The Professor stop by and told me infront of the women selling the rings. If I wanted an A in his class I’d have to meet him at the motel down the street.  

The women’s mouth dropped open. I laughter it off and walked away from him.  

The next week a fellow classmate and I decided to tell the head of the English dept. the secretary was there-and after hearing our stories-she assured us both of us would pass and he’d not be teaching at UB anymore.  

I’m very thankful to all the women who speak out and I pray one day -every woman will be believed-like we were.  

 


New Organizing Tips

by Leslie Jacobs


Use the excess from your animals’ water dish on your plants-then refill the bowl. It helps the planet and you won’t waste the water. I’ve been doing this for six months as I received the most wonderful dog “Snickers” a year ago.   He has made me feel happier and healthier as I have lost a few pounds this year.  I’ve lost a total of 50—but it’s been over a few years. 

To lose weight change your taste buds. Trade in your soda fix for non caloric drinks such as flavored spring water or seltzer. This will jump start your taste buds to change over the next few weeks. You’ll lose weight and you will get to a place where soda will taste horrible. 

Its feels great to not crave soda anymore. You can feel that way too!  

Have an Organized Day!
