You all know how when someone goes through massive weight loss that they stand around in their old pants and can fit into one pant leg? I always thought that was awesome; I wanted to do that.
I'm getting rid of the massive amount of clothes I have and I found some size 18s. I haven't worn size 18 since high school (in college and grad school I went from a 16 down to a 12 before start the biggest leg of my journey last year) and I still am kicking myself for not weighing because I'm sure I was over 200lbs…
So anyway I grabbed one of those size 18s and stepped into it. I could fit into one pant leg. My whole body. Wow. I need to take a picture!!
Today my hip measurement came in at 33.5" so I've lost a bit more around my hips without losing weight (yay weight training) This also means that my hips are now close to the same measurement my thighs once were.
I'm also guessing that I've probably lost over 100lbs total then, from my highest weight…whatever it is.
Holy crap. I still have trouble seeing all of this stuff in myself.
You guys.
I tried on a bikini today for the first time ever in my life today. I even showed my fiance.
The only reason I didn't buy it was because I hated the pattern and wanted a yellow one.
FFFFFFF I NEVER would have had the confidence to rock a bikini ever. Thank you, new healthy lifestyle.
Got a crapload of stretch marks but I don't really give an f
Went for another run today, I'm still sore from my 3.57 mile run on Friday (first run since August) so all I could manage was a 2.83 mile run today.
Still trying to get faster, but I'm getting there and I love it :)
I just need to let everyone know that I fucking love tomatoes.
That's it. Back to your schedule lives now.
Yesterday I had my weight training class. My general rule of thumb is that when I don't feel sore enough and I can walk perfectly the next day, it is time to increase the amount I am lifting.
Yes, I'm crazy.

Pro Football Weekly recently sat down with Branden Albert to find out how he is enjoying Kansas City's BBQ, what the transition from guard to tackle has been like, and who has he made friends with on the team. Here are some excerpts:
Kansas City is famous for its barbeque — have you been able to sample any great BBQ yet?
I've tasted a couple of places: LC's Bar-B-Q and Gates Bar-B-Q. Those places have great food.
Being a guard in college and now moving to left tackle in Kansas City, how is the transition going?
It's going pretty well. There are times where I'm doing very well and there are times where I'm struggling. But for the most part, I'm getting it and learning on the run.
Which Chiefs players have you become friends with?
Dwayne Bowe and Brian Waters. Most of my rookie class I am pretty good friends with, too. A lot of guys, but those two that I mentioned, I talk to and do stuff with on a regular basis.
Which player are you most looking forward to playing against in the NFL?
I would have to say Julius Peppers.
Now go check out the rest of the article to find out why he wants to go against Julius Peppers and how Brian Waters has been helping him along.

Working to remain positive in negative circumstances
I learned today about Russell's Truck and Travel Center in Glen Rio, N.M. Learned by stopping there for the first time.
Diane and I woke up this morning Moriarty, N.M. where we spent the night. We are deadheading east from Arizona to better position ourselves for freight.
It does not happen often but it has happened to us a few times in our expediting career that everyone we know is doing well while our production sucks. I have talked with fellow Landstar BCOs who have been at the company a long time, others who have been here about as long as us and others who are brand new. All of them are running well while Diane and I find ourselves with nothing.
This happens to every expediter every so often and it is hard to take when it does. Emotions kick in that are not pleasant. Thoughts come to mind that normally do not. Time passes slow.
To get un-stuck, Diane and I decided yesterday to deadhead east. We love the West but this time we are finding ourselves with too many days between loads. We could go to Los Angeles but that would likely keep us west. Oklahoma City is our destination now and if necessary we will continue to Saint Louis.
Driving did not eliminate the mental and emotional struggles I mentioned above. I am not liking it that we are driving on our own dime to chase freight. Given our current circumstances, it is the best option we have but that does not make it any easier. We have called agents, talked to friends, and talked to people in our carrier's office to scope things out. The best choice is to chase freight so that's what we're doing.
Some good has come out of this. We called one agent that we otherwise would not have. That new contact produced nothing good today but may serve us well in the future.
Getting stuck in a black hole like this prompts one to look for new sources of light. I have looked before and looked again today into using outside load boards to get freight. When we are running well, there is no need to pay for access to these boards. But when we are in a fix like this, the expense seems worth it.
Do we spend the money and gamble that freight might be found on outside load boards? I'm not sure. Maybe the thing to do is to try it for a while to see. But as soon as we write the checks, freight will likely pick up for us and the need for outside boards will fade.
So ran my thoughts as I drove today.
One nice discovery was Russell's Truck and Travel Center on at I-40 Exit 369 in New Mexico. We have never stopped there before because they do not offer a fuel discount like the brand-name truck stops do. Not being in a hurry today, we stopped for a stretch break.
Even from a distance this place was inviting. Its curb appeal was great compared to the truck stops we usually stop at. Diane went in while I stayed in the truck. When she came back she said the store offered an interesting mix of 50′s, Route 66 and New Mexico merchandise, in addition to the usual truck stop mix. The store also features a small car museum and was very clean. Sadly, the cell phone signal was very weak. We cannot afford to be cut off from the outside world so staying there for more than a few minutes is not an option.
We continued on to Oklahoma City and stopped for fuel at the TA there. People we knew from our former carrier came to greet us at the fuel pumps. We decided to spend the night there and join them for coffee and a visit in the restaurant. The visit was nice but when we returned to the truck Diane said to me, "I don't miss complaining about dispatch."

Has anyone else noticed the amount of black and white pictures that get awards on this site. I think Mono's are becoming more and more popular again. Do you guys like black and whites and if so on what ? For instance i take a lot of wildlife pictures which would be no good at all in mono, i think people shots, and street photography work well in Mono.
Anyway i just wondered what your thoughts were on this
Quote: For instance i take a lot of wildlife pictures which would be no good at all in mono, i think people shots, and street photography work well in Mono.
i take quite a few mono landscape shots. im starting to do it alot more. im also starting IR BW landscapes
to me only certain shots that i take work well for mono, and i have to think mono if i want a decent shot at the end of it.
i also think alot of portraits work well, or even better in mono, as does documentary photography
mono has the effect of removing colour distractions so is helpful in these cases
overall i cant comment on the long term (being a photographer now for about a decade) but i certainly see a lot of popularity for mono....which to me is a good thing
still its probably worth mentioning i dont take mono shots because its 'in' or anything, i guess my style is just (and i hate to use this word) maturing
I always used B&W with film only very occasionally used colour.
With digital the amount of control you have with B&W is greater and well beyond what could be done in the darkroom with LR/Silver Effex. It all begins with colour shot in RAW leaving me to visualise its effect in B&W.
It removes the glamour of colour stressing the texture and shapes.
Much of what I shoot lends itself to B&W which suggest I must have become tuned to B&W.
Street photography does work well with Mono although it was interesting that Martin Parr moved over to colour some years ago from B&W possibly to capture the glamour.
What shots I have done leaving it in colour is right on the borderline.
have you looked at the mono groups....here and here. There's also a weekly challenge
no reason why wildlife shouldn't work in mono
Quote: Natural history/wildlife can be brilliant in mono, just look at Nick Brandt's book "A Shadow Falls" for proof of this. This has some of the most amazing images
I always believed that, despite the fact that a photography teacher once questioned my use of B&W in a portrait of a Jaguar. It can bring out character in an animal in much the same way as it does in a human being, and there's no better exponent of the art than Nick Brandt. I felt rather gratified when I first saw his work!
I don't know about the ratio of awards though - personally I don't think ePhotozine is a particularly B&W orientated website, probably due to its sheer size. A well taken colour photo is always an assault on the sensesanyone's senses, whilst black and white without being superior may be more of an acquired taste.
Quote: I like to do some shots from Colour to B&W, but apart from Cats_123 making comment on them, Get no feed back, have tried all the 3 Mono group on site.
Quote: To a certain extent i agree most of my monos in the B/W and mono groups don't get commented on but i love doing B/W shots so i won't stop Cats is one of the few that comment regularly , maybe thats more a reflection on me i don't really knowRod
I think it's a cultural habit thing...so if we can persuade others to join in, then it can only strengthen the groups. it's easier in colour to understand why a photo was taken and so it's important that we try to explain what we have done to the image to convert it. I would also like to see more uploads of the original colour shot as a version (and mods allowed where possible)
Maybe so Jeff i did hope to get more B/w feedback upon joining the group as opposed to the main gallery , so its a wee bit discourageing as i feel its a great way to learn but its just not happening ! I know most of us are busy with work and life etc but it sorta defeats the purpose of the group.
Quote: Has anyone else noticed the amount of black and white pictures that get awards on this site. I think Mono's are becoming more and more popular again
I haven`t seen any changes, its always been around 1 in 4.
I just saw more than a few cracking mono wildlife/natural history images in the VS gallery!
Quote: Get no feed back, have tried all the 3 Mono group on site.
You keep making that same complaint Eric and I keep telling you the same thing.
The only place on this site where you're even remotely likely to get the response and feedback that you're looking for, is the critique gallery.
That's the whole point of posting your shots in there.

Romney's private-sector approach to government includes realigning pay, downsizing workforce
It's no secret Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney envisions broad changes to the federal government and its workforce. In campaign speeches, Romney has spoken of aligning federal pay with that of the private sector and reducing the federal workforce through attrition. But federal unions say Romney's comments and proposals should give feds pause. This story is part of Federal News Radio's special, week-long multimedia report, The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years.

The White House has threatened to veto a House bill providing funding for the Homeland Security Department, taking issue with many of the bill's provisions, including a denial of a civilian pay raise. The committee bill also doesn't include any new funding for the agency's data-center consolidation efforts or construction for its new headquarters.

Zen 101: Is nothing better than something, or anything?
How much do you know about Zen? For example when, if ever, is nothing better than something, or anything? Is it desirable to be the bullseye if your opposition is the gang that couldn't shoot straight, Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wonders.

I always make sure to enter game and get a good zoomed close up on facial features whenever I make a new character. I hated having to drop a thirty-something paladin because she her skin wasn't quite what I thought it was when I chose it on a lower resolution.
The other problem is that I end up with many characters that look too similar. Sure, there are a lot of options in customizing appearance, but 95% of those aren't viable because they make a character ugly; the remaining 5% can only be combined in so many ways, so that my druid ends up looking exactly like my warrior and rogue, but with a slightly different haircut.

» Want to pre-order the iPhone 4s in Hong Kong? Too late. You're stuck waiting in line. The phone will be available in stores this Friday and analysts are expecting "long lines and serial stock outs." It's a good sign for when the phone hits mainland China — a date for which has not been announced. It's led to a black-market Apple-smuggling industry between Hong Kong and China, which is likely to only continue with the iPhone 4S
[Analyst Nigam] Arora believes that Siri could change users' mobile habits, making them search for information via Apple's Siri rather than directly through Google. He thinks Siri is a better solution because it provides a small number of relevant results rather than a long list that users must sort through. Plus, he views advertisements on a small screen like an iPhone as a distraction.
To support his hypothesis, Arora cites a small study he conducted, in which a total of 40 iPhone 4S users were queried about their mobile search habits. All 40 said they see no need to search Google if Siri can answer their question, while 27 indicated they have not done a single direct Google search since they obtained their iPhone 4S.
Is he full of it? Or could you see Siri replacing some of Google's usefulness on cell phones?
» But they're not so worried: Parsing the present-day meaning of past quarter business reports can be a sketchy task, especially considering that in Apple's case, the recently released iPhone 4S is expected to lend a surge to their profits, though that won't come across until the current quarter's figures come out. (One company official specifically blamed iPhone 5 rumors for hurting the company's bottom line.) And despite the dip in share prices, Apple's actual business in the 3rd quarter was yet robust; profits increased by 54%, and sales went up 39%. And since we're talking Apple, we'd be remiss not to mention also that there's a Steve Jobs memorial exclusively for employees that's happening today; Apple's Cupertino campus is hosting, and Apple stores nationwide will be closing for the duration to allow staff to watch.
The iPhone 4s has sold 4 million units since friday. PCMag has a few ideas why Apple's latest product has done so well so soon. There was hype surrounding the 4S, as there usually is with a new Apple product; rumors floated all summer about the phone, giving it an air of mystique. Add that to the passing of Steve Jobs, and you have a good amount of buzz. The phone is now available on more networks and in more countries, two demographics that the iPhone 4 didn't have for its release. Plus, owning an iPhone comes with some sort of blood contract, right? source

Grand Forks, ND – Last night, UND head coach Dave Hakstol had this to say about the University of Alaska Anchorage Seawolves.
"This was a team we expected to face," Hakstol said. Highly competitive – good players – guys that battle hard together."
That's exactly the team that the University of North Dakota Hockey team faced tonight in the second game of their WCHA series.
The Seawolves came out at the start of the game and were a miserable team to play against as they got into the shooting lanes and forechecked UND hard. UND had a Seawolves forechecker on them all night long.
Sweeps in the WCHA are hard to get and it didn't matter that UND had beaten UAA by a grand total of 9-1 in two previous games.
UAA proved to be a very difficult team to play against and they gave UND fits, UND also appeared to come out a bit flat to start the game. UND head coach Dave Hakstol agreed.
"I thought it took us 20 to 30 minutes to work our way in," Hakstol said. "It wasn't pretty – we we did work our way in – the were tenacious I thought throughout the 60 minutes and we gave the lead away in the third period – which put us in a pretty tough spot and we found a way to come back and salvage a point. That's a positive."
The Seawolves took an early lead in the first period as a result of their hard work as sophomore forward Scott Allen gave his team the lead as he scored his fourth goal of the season at the 04:05 mark of the first period, assisting on Allen's goal were Seawolves Austin Sevalrud and Alex Gellert.
Ironically, that was the first goal that UND had given up in the first period this season, albeit it's only three games into the season. It also didn't hurt that UND came into the game as the second rated defensive unit in the country.
UND would get on the board and even the score at 1-1 with goal from Corban Knight at the 13:39 mark of the First period.
UND would get the go ahead goal at the 12:55 mark of the third period and it appeared that UND was taking control of the game.
Not so fast, UAA scored on a shorthanded goal by senior Tyler Currier at the 10:25 mark of the third period, UND freshman Jordan Schmaltz lost control of the puck at the blue line. Currier pounced on the puck – raced in on the UND net and shot the it through the five hole of UND junior goalie Clarke Saunders for the game tying goal, that was the fourth goal of Currier's career.
UAA would take the lead as they cashed in again at the 10:25 mark of the third period, with a goal from senior forward Jordan Kwas. UND would answer tie the game at the 18:25 mark of the third period and after a lengthy review, Derek Forbort was given credit for the goal.
After the game Forbort wasn't even sure that he should have been credited with the game tying goal.
"Got a rolling puck and just threw it to the net," Forbort said. "I think it went off Corbin Knight, I don't even think that I scored."
The two teams would go to over time and trade opportunities – but would settle nothing.
Midway through the overtime period, UND freshman forward Rocco Grimaldi brought everyone in the building with a great opportunity but was denied by UAA junior goalie Rob Gunderson.
After the game, Grimaldi described his glorious opportunity after the game.
"I thought I had him beat there," Grimaldi said. "So I just tried to turn the jets on and beat him wide, and drive it into the net, whether it's through the goalie or whatever, probably had a little more time than I thought, I could have pulled it a little wider and maybe tried to get it up but I just tried to jam it and he was there, he [Gunderson ] played really well tonight I got to give their goalie credit."
After the game UAA head coach Dave Shyiak was pleased with his team's effort tonight.
"I think that was probably our best 60 minutes of the year," Shyiak said. " It was a hard earned tied It was a great hockey game. What we learned as a hockey team tonight is how we have to play. I thought we pressured the puck well, I thought we executed our game plan, we got good goaltending and we got contributions from everyone tonight."
If UAA keeps playing like they did tonight, they're going to give a lot of teams fits.
