Where was I? Oh yes, dating. Some of my friends love dating, even if they have horrible dates, they still go out, time and again. Me, I'm not so keen on a bad date, I'd rather just skip it. That and living in a big pond has made it harder to meet cool people. I might get ronery every once in awhile, and I know that I should be thinking about finding a mate (says my mom), but I'm cool with being single. As the CREEEEPY Rogers guy who fixed my cable yesterday said as he sat beside me on my couch and looked around my apartment "it must be nice living alone, you can do whatever you want and nobody will bug you". Yes creepy Rogers man, it is nice. I might get a dog or cat to cuddle with at night though.
Anyway, I really got sidetracked there. What I wanted to tell you about was this guy, his name is Awesome. Really. He is another reason why I hide in my basement apartment. The ONE AND ONLY time I drunkenly gave a guy my number, this is what happened. 3 voice mails later. Before I got the chance to give him a call back I had 3 voice messages from him. For other women out there who've felt nervous about a random guy, I'm sure you'll see how his extreme enthusiasm was a little unsettling. Although he did seem like a nice bloke, it was unnerving to see this behaviour escalate to the level of stalker mentality - it's scary out there, especially since I was only 22 at the time! Enjoy my friends, hopefully you'll like it as much as my dad did. He is Awesome's biggest fan. Fact.
UPDATE: I've actually decided to take the voicemail down because someone via reddit is pretending to be AWESOME (not Asim, trust me people, that's how he spelled it) and create a sob story. Unfortunately (and fortunately for me) he got some important details wrong and I was able to pretty quickly assess that it was some asshole trying to get attention by making up a story.

Regan Smith Pulls Off Major Upset at Darlington
By Reid Spencer, Sporting News NASCAR Wire Service
DARLINGTON, S.C. (May 7, 2011) – Nearly three years after a NASCAR ruling denied him his first Sprint Cup victory, Regan Smith finally got the elusive win.
After staying out on old tires, Smith held off Carl Edwards to win Saturday night's Showtime Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway in a dramatic green-white-checkered-flag finish.
Smith crossed the finish line .196 seconds ahead of runner-up Edwards. Moments later, tempers flared between drivers Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick and their crews in the aftermath of a wild wreck that brought out the final caution of the race.
"This is the Southern 500—we're not supposed to win this thing," an incredulous Smith radioed to his crew after the race.
Brad Keselowski, also on old tires, finished third, withpolesitter Kasey Kahne running fourth and Ryan Newman fifth.
The victory was redemption for Smith, who was deprived of an apparent victory at Talladega in 2008 when he was penalized for passing Tony Stewart below the yellow out-of-bounds line that separates the racing surface from the apron.
"This is no knock against Talladega at all, but I would trade in a lot of Talladega wins for one win in the Southern 500," said Smith, who got enough of a push from Keselowski on the final restart to clear Edwards' car. "This race is so special and so meaningful. We were standing there looking at the names and the faces on the trophy, and you just look at it, and you think, 'My face is going to be there right next to these guys, and it'll be there forever.' "
After a final round of green-flag pit stops, Edwards, the Sprint Cup points leader, passed Kahne for the lead on Lap 341 of the scheduled 367-lap race as the cars sped into Turn 1. Edwards was comfortably in frontwhen Jeff Burton's engine blew and oiled the track with 10 laps left, causing the 10th caution of the night.
After Smith, Keselowski and Stewart stayed out, taking the top three spots under caution, Edwards climbed to second after a restart on Lap 363. The previous caution, however, was only a prelude to a wild three-widewreck involving Clint Bowyer, Harvick and Busch later that same lap. That set up the two-lap sprint as the race went to overtime, with Edwards and Smith taking the green flag side-by-side.
Bowyer sustained the most damage as he hit the inside wall nose first. But as Busch and Harvick continued down the track, the two made contact again, with Busch spinning Harvick's car. After the race, Harvick confronted Busch on pit road and appeared to take a swing at Busch while he still was in his car. Later, while Smith was celebrating in victory lane, the crews fromeach team confronted each other.
Tempering the disappointment of finishing second for Edwards was his happiness for Smith, with whom he had established a friendship during their tenure with team owner Mike Mittler in 2002.
"I was driving Mike's truck," Edwards said. "I had run I think seven races and I couldn't run any more and still hold the rookie eligibility for the next year, so Mike hired Regan to drive at Phoenix. I was kind of heartbroken. I was a racecar driver. I didn't want to go work on that truck while somebody else was driving it.
"I went there and I felt kind of honored when it was all over, to have worked with him and met his family. They're really good people. I just decided, all right, I'm going to go ahead and work, swallow my pride. I'm glad I did, because I got to know Regan a little bit better and he's a good guy.
"He could have treated me any way and he treated me like gold then, so I got a lot of respect for him."
Kahne, Edwards and Harvick took turns out front during the second half of the race after Busch made an unscheduled pit stop.
Busch had led 78 laps when a vibration forced him to thepits on Lap 205. A caution for Jimmie Johnson's spin on the frontstretch trapped Busch a lap down. Busch didn't get the lap back until he received a free pass as the highest scored lapped car for a restart on Lap 244.
Busch had worked his way up to 12th before NASCAR called the ninth caution on Lap 280 for debris on the backstretch. He finished 11th.

In case you missed "Seniors of the Sahara", you can meet many of the same characters in "The Witch in 204." Written by Barbara Pease Weber, it is her fourth play to premiere at Old Academy Players in East Falls and is a sequel to "Seniors." As in "Seniors," which previously played at Old Academy, we find ourselves in the same beachfront condo in Margate, New Jersey, a clean and brightly lit place with white wicker chairs and seascapes on the walls.
Once again action swirls around Sylvie (Marcy Hoffman) and Eugene (Nicholas Lutwyche), her genie boyfriend. (Except Eugene is now free of the painful "lumbago" that plagued him in "Seniors," possibly because he now gets to live entirely outside the cramped quarters of his magic teapot.) As the play opens, Sylvie talks to her old friends. It is Sylvie's wedding day, but where is lover Eugene? I'll bet that old witch in apartment 204 of the condo could tell you!
In "Seniors" the focus is squarely on Sylvie and Eugene. They meet in a curious way, fall in love, fight through obstacles to their romance and so forth. But in "Witch" the focus is scattered, and the lovers rarely seem as vital as their frolicsome friends.
Director Christopher Wunder plays up to the zany antics of the friends because their goofy attempts to resolve the wedding crisis is where the action is. The friends include tearful Fanny (Lauri Jacobs), near-sighted and accident-prone Thelma (Ginny Kaufmann), old Viagra-popping Herman (Steve Blumenthal) and a consummate yenta in Mabel (Norma Kider). They want to help Sylvie, but all prove to be comically compromised by their eccentricities.
The tempo of the production picks up further with the entrance of the Witch, Bella (Brianna Trillo). Bella knew Eugene from the spirit world and is desperate to have him. Trillo is wonderfully threatening in the role, a glamorous young blonde woman in a condo full of seniors, and unstinting in her malice. When she stumbles into Evelyn (Loretta Lucy Miller), she mistakes her for Sylvie and tries to poison Evelyn with a drink. Miller reminds me a lot of Lucille Ball in her mimicry of distress, and the comedy in this scene steals the show.
But where are Sylvie and Eugene while all this is going on? Sylvie has left town. The lovers are not seen together until the end of Act Two. And in his plan to whack the witch, Eugene has to give out all sorts of background information (in case you did not see "Sahara"). At that point, storytelling suspense is dead in the water.
In "The Witch in 204", I loved the comedy and the capers. But all the action takes place on the periphery. Sylvie and Eugene have become minor characters at their own wedding, and the play feels more like a coda than a stand-alone sequel.
Old Academy Players is located at 3540-44 Indian Queen Lane. "The Witch in 204" will run through Oct 2. Reservations available at 215-843-1109.

Small to medium businesses (SMBs) relentlessly seek new strategies and solutions to reduce costs and increase productivity. Every saved dollar goes back to the bottom line to fuel growth. Costs can be recovered in many areas across the office.
One of the most common sources of unnecessary spending is found in the misallocation of office technology. Significant losses occur with underused printers, multifunction printers (MFPs) and document management systems. This misallocation has a number of cost and productivity implications but can be remedied by identifying underused devices and deploying resources more effectively.

Hurricane Sandy Reliefby Senator Nancy Pelosi
Posted on 2013-01-01
PELOSI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, if you've ever had a natural disaster affect
your area or if you have ever visited a natural disaster, be it in
California, my home State, or on the east coast or in the Midwest,
whether Iowa and the floods or Missouri in recent times, and spoke to
and listened to the pain in the voices and saw the fright in the eyes
of the people affected, you would wonder why we are not bringing this
legislation to the floor. It isn't about a natural disaster; it's about
a human experience.
When I was a very new Member of Congress in the late eighties, we were affected in California by the Loma Prieta earthquake. I bring that up because the very next day after the earthquake, the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, Mr. Jamie Whitten, came to the floor of the House without anyone going to him or asking him. He went to the floor of the House and said to the people of California, Congress will honor our responsibility to the American people. We will put forth what meets the needs of the people. We need to work together to get that done. It was such a comfort.
These were just words. It was such a comfort to the people just to hear that and to know that a chairman would act upon that. And for the past few weeks, I know that our colleagues from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, some in Pennsylvania and other surrounding areas, have been assuring their constituents and the people of their areas that the Federal Government would be there for them. It is a social compact. It is the most important tie they have to us.
Again, if you could hear their personal stories you will know they'll never be made whole. The rug has been pulled out from under them in terms of their housing, their belongings, their pictures, their memories, the character of their neighborhoods. The rug has been pulled out, and now tonight, is this Congress, this House of Representatives, going to pull the rug out again from them legislatively? Just as a reminder, the Senate of the United States, in a bipartisan fashion, passed a $60.4 billion assistance program for this natural disaster. It met the documented needs that were put forth by the people of the regions, by Governor Christie, by Governor Cuomo, by Governor Malloy, Governor Bloomberg, and so many others. So, documented need.
Again, it's not going to make everyone whole emotionally in their personal belongings and their memories and the rest, but it is a sign of respect that we cannot let what happened stand and that the resources will be there to try to return them to some sense of order and home and home life.
I don't know if any decision has been made. I hope not. I hope that as the leadership meets and considers a possible agenda for tomorrow, they would reconsider this because this goes deep into the hearts of people as they feel a sense of helplessness for something they had no responsibility for, a natural disaster.
Remember last year when we visited some of the places where homes were uprooted? It's earth, wind, and fire. When something like that happens, it's the wind, it's the water, it's the fire. It's every kind of thing assaulting people. Let's not be a part of that assault by putting doubts in their mind as to whether there is an appreciation for what they have lost, a respect for who they are, and honoring of our social compact that the government will be there when people are in need.
Again, I hearken back to Jamie Whitten. We never had a moment to fear that our needs would be met. Let's just make this night pass as if it never happened. Let's just replace the impression that is out there with the idea that tomorrow we will take up the Senate bill or take up the compromise that has been worked out to take this in two tranches. We cannot leave here doing nothing. That would be a disgrace.

If you are like me, you enjoy adding depth to research about your female ancestors by learning about the context of their lives, the time periods in which they lived, and the environment, work, and leisure activities which may have occupied their time.
A site that may be of interest to you is Harvard University Library's Women Working, 1800-1930. Before exploring this site, I assumed that it focused on women who worked as wage earners, either at home or outside the home. There are parts of the website that focus on this kind of work, but there are many other resources for all kinds of work (and leisure activities) performed by women and the work of women's organizations.
You can search the website or browse by key events, notable people, or topic. A brief timeline is also available. Within the timeline are links to some of the resources in Women Working.
The collection includes scanned images of
- books and pamphlets for perusal by region, by topic, by types of work
- diaries and memoirs of a farmer, actress, school teacher, and secretary
- institutional records including those from trade unions and bureaus; scrapbooks; and others
- key organizations relating to women who worked outside the home such as Bureau of Labor Statistics, National American Woman Suffrage Association, National Women's Trade Union League of America, Vocational Adjustment Bureau, Women's Educational and Industrial Union (WEIU)
- magazines that were either written by women or for women, including some issues of The Delineator, Dorcas Magazine, The Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's Home Companion, among others.
- manuscripts include correspondence, diaries, journals, albums, and scrapbooks
- photographs include individual photographs and albums
- trade catalogs for beauty products, toiletries, and pharmaceuticals; clothing; groceries and recipes; home appliances and technology; household goods; machinery; medicine; office and school supplies; reading materials; recreation; and transportation. These are delightful because they are illustrated -- and there are so many!
This is part of the description from the website:
Though it is a relatively recent field of study, women's history is inscribed across all of the Harvard Library holdings gathered since 1638. By examining those holdings afresh and querying them in a new and feminist light, the curators of Women Working have aggregated thousands of items that cast light on women's history. The result is a unique virtual collection, comprising over 650,000 individual pages from more than 3,100 books and trade catalogs, 900 archives and manuscript items, and 1,400 photographs.Images of the pages are shown full size, which means you'll have to scroll vertically to see them in sections. Some pages have the option to reduce the size, some do not. Images cannot be pinned on Pinterest but they can be downloaded and saved for future reference/use.
Women Working is a digital exploration of women's impact on the economic life of the United States between 1800 and the Great Depression. Working conditions, workplace regulations, home life, costs of living, commerce, recreation, health and hygiene, and social issues are among the issues documented in this online research collection from Harvard University.
There is more at this website than can be read in one day. For this reason, I believe it will become one of my go-to websites, along with HEARTH, when I want to research the time periods of my female (and sometimes male) ancestors. I hope you may find it useful, too.

Most students interested in a career in veterinary medicine major in biology or chemistry, but Wofford has many choices to consider, and you should pursue the major(s) that interest you the most. You will need to fulfill the prerequisite requirements to gain admission to the veterinary school of your choice.
The Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS) is a centralized application program for participating veterinary medical colleges. Of the 27 U.S. veterinary medical colleges, 26 participate in VMCAS, and there are schools in Scotland, England and New Zealand that work through VMCAS. The organization's website provides helpful information for pre-vet undergraduates.
The VMCAS has links from which you can download application/prerequisite information from the veterinary colleges that you are interested in. If you are a South Carolina resident, you should plan to apply to the University of Georgia (in addition to any others you're interested in) because its vet school reserves up to 17 spots for S.C. residents.
The prerequisite requirements for UGA's Veterinary College include:
* 6 hours of English
* 14 hours of humanities or social studies
* 8 hours of inorganic chemistry (full year with laboratory)
* 8 hours of organic chemistry (full year with laboratory)
* 8 hours of physics (full year with laboratory)
* 3 hours of biochemistry
* 8 hours of general biology (full year with laboratory)
* 8 hours of advanced biology courses (recommended: comparative anatomy, microbiology, cell biology, genetics)
Pre-veterinary students have designed various types of independent Interims, including working with veterinarians, interning at UGA's College of Veterinary Medicine and working at the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, S.C. It is important that you gain as much hands-on experience as possible prior to applying for admission to veterinary college.
Dr. Lori Cruze (Biology) is the pre-veterinary advisor and would be happy to meet with you and discuss your career plans.

Those who were blessed with a long and oblong face shape can choose from the multitude of hair styles that are available on the market. However, it seems that not all that glitters is gold!

AMD's new 785G chipset has just launched, and fresh-from-embargo reviews have hit the streets from a number of hardware sites, including HotHardware, TechReport, PCPerspective, Tom's Hardware, HardwareZone, and Hexus. Of these, the HotHardware and Tom's Hardware reviews are probably the most interesting; Tom's in particular pays attention to graphics performance in comparison to AMD's other integrated chipsets, the 785G's legitimate competition.
The 785G packs a number of feature upgrades, small things like HDMI 1.3, DDR3, DirectX 10.1, and support for socket AM3 processors. More significantly, though, the new northbridge features dynamic clocking features that allow its GPU and other cores to downclock by a factor of eight, to a mere 60Mhz from 500Mhz, at idle time, saving power. As one review points out, this means that a Blu-ray-equipped 785G PC with a low-voltage processor can probably be configured to consume less power than some standalone Blu-ray players. Tom's showed that at idle, a 785G system consumed 17W, 19 percent, less power than a 790GX system with the same components. Over five years nonstop, at Chicago electricity rates, that's more than $110 worth of electricity.
The most interesting feature of the 785G is, of course, its beefed-up Radeon 4200 IGP, and the comparative performance of this IGP with others is the subject of lots of work in multiple of the reviews. Unfortunately, none of the reviews directly compares the 785G with its 780G predecessor and 790GX competitor, but the picture can be knitted together. For context, all three IGPs feature 40 stream processors. Those in the 790GX are of roughly the same design as the 780G's, but clocked up to 700Mhz from 500Mhz, while the 785G's GPU is die-shrunk and mildly redesigned, and clocked at 500Mhz. The overall picture is this: 785G is marginally higher-performing than 780G, but lower than 790GX, and can be overclocked to be faster than the 790GX.
This new northbridge is no breakthrough, but it's high-performing, sips power, packs lots of nifty features, and is very low cost. Using the 785G in almost any new AMD build that isn't a Crossfire gaming rig is probably a slam dunk at this point, and by almost any measure, this is a design win for AMD.

All that stretching and breathing during yoga makes me feel centered in both body and mind. A couple of weeks ago, at the end of my yoga class, my teacher announced that she was teaching a prenatal yoga class three days a week. I opted out of the class because I'm not pregnant—but I couldn't help but think about the benefits of yoga for you and your baby.
Your body goes through a great deal of change once you become pregnant and yoga can help your breathing, flexibility and strength. The poses provide relief to the discomforts of pregnancy because yoga is both relaxing and healing.
I study Anusara Yoga, a practice that is life-affirming and empowering. The poses are therapeutic for the alignment of your body and you learn a deep, full, steady breath. Anusara means, "Following your heart," which is an integral part of the practice. Every pose is expressed from the inside out, which originates from a deep and devotional feeling inside. This is a great way to connect to the life inside you when you're pregnant.
The alignment principles of Anusara Yoga create more space in your body especially from the pelvis to the top of your rib cage. This is done by engaging your core, which can help strengthen and stretch the areas greatly needed to push the baby out. Movement and actions within every pose are coordinated with the breath, which can help prepare you for labor and delivery. Students learn a more mindful conscious breath. Taking deeper, full, steady breaths during yoga becomes more habitual and when you're in labor it allows your cervix to open and not tighten.
Pamela Greaves, my Anusara Yoga instructor in Santa Fe, NM, says she did a hand stand on the day she went into labor. The prenatal yoga class she teaches is exactly like a typical Anusara Yoga class but some poses are modified depending on your comfort level. After 20 weeks, she discourages any pose that will compress the abdomen, like deep forward folds or twists.
At the end of each prenatal yoga class, Pamela serves Nettle and Red Raspberry Tea to her students. Both are mild herbal teas that are safe to drink during pregnancy. Red raspberry (Rubus idaeus) is often used during pregnancy because it improves digestion, uterine tone and blood supply. Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is packed with vitamins B, C, and A. Nettle strengthens the kidneys and relieves fluid retention. For more information on herbs you can rely on during pregnancy, read Herbs for Pregnancy.

The Class of 2003 used their class gift funds to purchase a glass display case and plaque for the senior class horn. For more information on the tradition of senior class horn.
The Class of 2004 donated several couches that were placed in the library to create a more comfortable study area for all those all-night study sessions.
As their senior class gift, the Class of 2005 donated a computer station to go in the Kellogg Center outside of the Eat Shop.
The senior class of 2006 decided to donate several benches that were placed outside of the newly completed Science Complex.
The senior class of 2007 selected two projects for their senior class gift.
Over 97% of the class of 2007 received a scholarship or grant; therefore the senior class gift committee selected annual scholarships as one focus for solicitations.
Furthermore, the class raised funds for several Bartlett Pear trees and a commemorative marker, which were placed in front of Goodrich Chapel to replace the many campus trees lost in the past several years to age, disease, and the emerald ash borer.
The senior class of 2008 provided two gifts: a plaque commemorating the Rock and a memorial gift honoring two professors who died while this class were students. Their gift was in memory of philosophy and neuroscience professor Ned Garvin, and chemistry professor David Green.
The Class of 2009 donated a four-foot globe suspended in the Stockwell-Mudd library. The globe is a visual showpiece in the library and may also be used for academic purposes.
The Class of 2010 senior gift provided for campus beautification, supporting the development of the green space at the corner of Hannah and East Erie Streets. This site includes a garden featuring the sculpture that was originally installed in the Gerstacker International House courtyard.
Albion College's original 1835 cornerstone, displayed at the south face of the Ferguson building, adds a highlight to the green space, with a plaque commemorating the Class of 2010's contribution to the site.

What the West Can Learn From Islamic Banking
Across the Middle East and South-East Asia, Islamic financial institutions hold aggregated assets estimated to be worth $50 billion. To some, this cash-rich sector represents a huge opportunity for growth and investment. But perhaps, what Islamic banks can really offer is a set of guiding principles that can enhance financial stability, four years after the crisis.

Blue horizon. View of the Atlantic Ocean from a viewpoint in Azores islands.
Hello, my name is Gaspar Avila. I'm a portuguese (azorean) photographer/designer living in Azores islands. I always try an artistic and aesthetically pleasing approach to my subjects. My photography work is mostly about the Azores islands, their landscapes, architecture, culture and traditions, etc., but I also do conceptual work, mostly in studio. Over the years I had many of my photos published worldwide in books, advertising and magazines, including National Geographic. Sometimes I also do some Design/Digital art work. In my gallery you'll find geometric abstract digital art that was produced by software that I created myself. I was a computer programmer for 15 years. All my images available here were made using professional...

- Mankiw gave an attack in an interview from 2005. Since then, there was a fun debate in July 2006. There was another debate last November (here's a summary). Another one this January. But lately, the debate has been even more fun to watch.
- In March, Krugman indirectly called Mankiw evil for criticizing the assumptions behind the CEA's forecast. Mankiw replied by asking Krugman to put his money where his mouth went. Krugman did not reply back publicly. To my knowledge, the bet didn't go through.
- Just last month, Mankiw wrote a piece in the New York Times on why he does not see much hope for a public health insurance option. Krugman attacked the post by calling Mankiw "wide-eyed and innocent" and "either remarkably ignorant or simply disingenuous." Mankiw replied by saying "I think I understand Paul's point of view" three times. At the same time, he effectively discredited Krugman. Krugman's response? Silence.
That leads me to my poll question of the week: Who would win in a joust? Krugman or Mankiw?
As with all of my polls, please vote ealy, tell your friends to vote and even your local Nobel Laureate. The poll is open for a week. I look forward to seeing what you have to say.

Melissa Rach, vice president of content strategy at Brain Traffic and coauthor of Content Strategy for the Web, Second Edition, sees far too many organizations making similar mistakes in their outreach attempts. The "throw it together" approach that most people employ tends to create havoc, rather than useful information for potential customers and clients. She shares 10 of the most common (and dangerous) pitfalls that everyone should learn to avoid.
Web pages, mobile apps, print materials, and social media create an endless stream of content that can be a challenge for any organization. A content strategy can help ensure that all of your content efforts are beneficial to your business, and ultimately to your content users.

Weight Loss Stories
77 Pounds Gone – From Severely Obese to Healthy, One Mom's Story
I didn't get a wake up call until my son was two years old. On November 12, 2011, we celebrated his second birthday by spending the day with our families at a local railroad museum. When I got home, I started going through all the pictures. That was the very moment I realized that I was done with it all. I was beyond devastated that I was actually balancing my son on my fat roll in pictures.
I was sitting on the sidelines of my life watching my little boy grow up. I wanted to be an active part of his life, not just standing behind the camera taking pictures. I wanted to run and play with my little boy, not be too exhausted and sitting in the recliner in the evenings. I was missing being a part of his childhood and that was enough to make me take control of my life.
I started counting calories and keeping a food journal. I would make one healthy change at a time and let it become a habit before introducing something else. It seemed so much more manageable that way! During the plateaus, I kept looking at my before pictures and realized how far I have come.
It made all the difference in the world! It was my biggest motivator! When times were tough, I stayed accountable on my blog, A Daily Dose of Del Signore, and had the biggest outpouring of support! My readers kept me accountable and cheered me on.
Slowly, I began eating clean. I dropped inches like crazy when I cut out processed foods from my diet!
I do two to four hours of Zumba each week (which I am completely addicted to). There's nothing better to me than completing two hours of Zumba. When I walk out, I have a Zumba high! It's an adrenaline rush that makes me feel like I can conquer the world.
I have also rediscovered my love of running! I can actually run now without feeling like I'm going to die! It feels so empowering to know that I am no longer held back from doing the things I enjoy. I'm always in awe of what my body can actually do now.
My life is simply amazing now! I am no longer living on the sidelines of my life. Instead of watching my little boy grow up, I am actively participating in his life. When you can finally do something as simple as swing next to your child or chase after him in the yard, you become so grateful for the ability to do that!
You notice all the little things….when your once too large behind can fit in a seat at the amusement park….when you can wear the latest fashions because you can find them in your new size….when your husband says that you just look so beautiful, but you realize he loved you no matter what size you were.
There are just so many things we take for granted each and every day. I have my health back! I said goodbye to the daily heartburn, the constant back issues, and depression medications as I lost weight. I have been given a second chance to live since losing weight and I will cherish each moment now!
There will be times that you won't see the number on the scale. Take before pictures so you can see how far you've come! Also, take measurements because as you replace the lost weight with muscle your inch loss will decrease and may not show when you weigh in.
I have lost 77 pounds, 50.5 inches overall so far. I've gone from a size 18 to a comfy size 8! In my waist alone, I have lost 12 inches! Now, I am looking to hit 100 pounds lost overall. That's my number than I'm shooting for. I never imagined I could meet my original weight loss goal (60 pounds), but once I passed it I knew I could aim for greater things!
I am a busy wife and mom who works full time and runs a household. If I can find time to make healthier choices in life, anyone can. I struggle with weight loss, but there is not one moment of regret for any effort I put into this. {Source: iReports}
