30 Week Bump Update:
Real Mom Blogs: 30 Weeks Pregnant
Sweat Pregnant Mamas, Sweat!
Staying active during pregnancy has several physical and emotional benefits for mom– including increased energy, reduced complications and pains, easier labor and recovery, and an elevated mood. A new study out of the University of Montreal recently found that participating in an exercise routine during pregnancy can also has a positive effect on baby!
The study followed two groups of women during their pregnancy. The first group participated in 20 minutes of moderate exercise at least 3 days a week, while the second group maintained a sedentary lifestyle. after the babies were born, researchers measured brain activity and electrical responses through a soft electrode hat. They found that in the infants of active mothers, brain activity was associated with what would be expected of a more mature brain, and their responses indicated that baby's brain developed more rapidly than that of their sedentary classmates. The researchers plan to test the babies again at one year old to see if these effects are long-term.
This study is an amazing contribution to the world of prenatal fitness– since many people receive mixed messages about the safety of maintaining an exercise routine during pregnancy. We know that exercise helps release endorphins which make us feel happier and reduce stress, and exercise increases blood flow; both of which lead to better blood flow to baby's brain. As long as your doctor has approved you for moderate exercise during pregnancy, it is now clear the benefits of sweating it out a few times a week are extended to baby.
It is also important to note that the monitoring of lifestyles and exercise habits of the ladies in this study did not start until the second trimester, so if you've skipped the gym during the first trimester due to fatigue or nausea, it is never too late to reap the benefits of prenatal exercise!

Pregnancy Exercise and Placenta Previa
Most doctors encourage pregnant women (and all individuals!) to include exercise in their daily routine. Women diagnosed with placenta previa during pregnancy can often be discouraged from or nervous about exercising, due to risk of bleeding and early labor. This condition, which refers to an irregular placement of the placenta on the uterine wall, affects about 0.05% of first time moms, and about 1-2% of moms who have experienced it in previous pregnancies.
While every pregnancy is individual, cutting out exercise entirely isn't always necessary for those experiencing placenta previa. Adjusted workouts during pregnancy can reduce complications and complaints, so it is important to talk to your doctors about which workouts are suitable for your pregnancy and your health.
A diagnosis of placenta previa traditionally comes in four grades. First grade placenta previa describes placental placement in the lower segment of the internal orifice of the uterus (the opening where baby would eventually come out during a vaginal birth). Second grade refers to a situation where the placenta reaches the orifice, while in third and fourth grade previa the placenta either partially or completely covers the uterine opening, respectively. Each grade also carries increasing risk of bleeding and premature labor– why many moms diagnosed with placenta previa are on low-activity or bed rest.
Depending on the grade and severity of placenta previa, there are a number of low intensity exercises that are suitable during the entire pregnancy. In many cases, a slow paced walking routine or elliptical machine can be safe and comfortable, as well as providing some cardiovascular activity, and helping mom maintain strength and muscle during pregnancy. Discuss a low intensity walking routine with your doctor, beginning as early in pregnancy as possible for about 30 minutes a day, as long as the pregnancy progresses normally.
Another option for women experiencing placenta previa is low impact yoga and Pilates. It is important to eliminate or modify stretches that involve deep squats or involve abdominal pressure. In all exercises that involve twisting, the twist motion should be performed at shoulder level, avoiding twisting the abdomen and pelvis. You may choose to include variations to poses and exercises with the support of foam blocks or chairs, to support the pelvic floor. The goal is to maintain muscle strength in the legs, arms, and back, and to reduce the risk of clotting by encouraging blood flow, which can become an issue when on bed rest. Simple stretches for the arms, ankle rotations, and even deep breathing exercises can be safe even for those with fourth degree placenta previa, and can reduce the aches and pains associated with bed rest.
Enjoying even a low-intensity exercise routine can benefit your physical health, your mood, and your baby's health, as long as individually appropriate exercises are being performed. Don't let the diagnosis of placenta previa scare you out of staying healthy. Talk to your doctor about your individual health before beginning any exercise routine. Please remember, never continue to exercise if you experience spotting or bleeding, cramping, abdominal pain or dizziness, and be sure to contact your doctor if these symptoms persist.

Introducing Real Mom Blogger Brittany, 33 weeks pregnant!
Knocked-Up Fitness is very excited to introduce Brittany Barry to the Real Mom Blogs! At 33 weeks into her first pregnancy, Brittany candidly discusses the highs and lows of her pregnancy experience so far, and her thoughts going into the final weeks before she and her husband welcome their little one!
Q: Tell us a little about yourself.
A: My name is Brittany Barry and I have lived my entire life in the South. I married my husband, Michael, about 3 years ago. We've gone through two deployments together and in December 2011 we moved to Arlington, Virginia. I love writing and am lucky enough to have found jobs where I can do this for a living. We are expecting our first baby in late December 2013.
Q: What has your pregnancy experience been so far?
A: To be honest, the first 12 weeks were very challenging. I had morning sickness 24/7 and definitely fell off the wagon when it came to eating healthy and working out. This was probably one of my biggest challenges since before my pregnancy I went from eating very clean and working out for at least an hour a day, to not being able to leave the bathroom for the majority of the day. On top of that, I experienced some serious depression (something I have never struggled with before) during this time. After the first trimester, things became much better. I have embraced being pregnant and truly cannot wait to welcome our new little boy into the world.
Q: What are you most excited about with this pregnancy? Most nervous?
A: I am so excited to meet our son. My husband and I keep talking about what we think he will look like or act like and it is such an exciting time for us. I am nervous about becoming a new parent though. To have such a little, helpless human being depend solely on you for protection and survival is amazing, yet terrifying at the same time.
Q: What are your favorite prenatal fitness activities?
A: I have a love-hate relationship with the Stairmaster currently, but I always feel like I conquered the world after my workout. I also love taking walks with my husband and our Jack Russell Terrier, Loki. I also enjoy my prenatal yoga class. It really helps me remember to relax and allows me to focus on my baby and myself.
Q: Any activities you're finding more challenging or more enjoyable with this pregnancy?
A: I know that flexibility is supposed to increase with pregnancy, but I guess my body missed this memo! I also have to modify many weight lifting and stretching exercises since my growing baby bump seems to get in the way at times. I always try to stay within a pain-free range of motion in any exercise I do, and sometimes I have to tell myself that it is okay to go for a lighter weight or skip a certain exercise that I normally would be able to do.
Q: You said you have a dog as well, any plans to get him adjusted to the idea of a baby in the house?
A: Our dog is a bit different since she was abused and came from the local pound. She's been with us for about five years now, and is one of the most lovable, friendliest dogs you could ever hope to own. We have been letting her sniff around in the nursery to get used to the fact that the room will no longer be off limits (the room was previously used as a junk/storage room). Once we bring home our new little one, we plan on slowly allowing her to get to know him through smelling his clothes and blanket and being able to approach him if he's in the baby swing or playing with us on the floor.
Q: With an active duty husband, how are you finding time to stay involved with each other and have him involved with the pregnancy? Any tips or challenges?
A: We are both lucky enough that Michael has a non-deployable billet right now, meaning that unless there is a special circumstance, he most likely will not be deployed. However, he still has a hectic and non-traditional work schedule, so one of the ways that he has stayed involved with this pregnancy is by attending a Sunday birthing class with me. This allows us to just focus on the baby for a couple of hours and really take the time to communicate with each other and bond with baby.
For any other military spouses out there, I would suggest trying to do little things like either a birthing class when he is free, scheduling doctor's visits around his schedule, or bringing him along to a prenatal exercise class. If he is deployed, look into mommy support groups on base. Other military spouses know what you are going through and there is no need to suffer through this emotional time alone! Another tip is that when my husband couldn't attend ultrasounds, I videotaped them on my phone and emailed the video to him. While he couldn't be there in person, I know these little videos allowed him to feel like he was still involved in the pregnancy.
Q: Do you have a birth plan?
A: We actually just finished our birth plan! I am going to try to get through the entire process without drugs and hopefully do most of the early laboring at home. For me this decision is mainly about being able to trust my body and being confident that as a woman, my body was naturally designed to do this. However, we also made the birth plan flexible in case an unexpected circumstance comes up and we need to adapt in order for our baby to be healthy and safe.
Q: Any baby gear you have to have or really want?
A: I had two must haves on my list: a jogging stroller and an Ergo baby carrier. I know that some of the first opportunities I will have to exercise after delivery will be walking with the baby and eventually slowly jogging with him. This is why the jogging stroller was a must have on my list. The Ergo carrier was also a necessity mainly because my husband really wants to be involved in holding our son. We talked a lot about baby wearing and my husband thinks it would be a great way for him to give me a bit of a break and interact with our new baby.
Q: What 3 words best describe the kind of mom you hope to be?
A: Patient, supportive, flexible
Q: Any pregnancy cravings?
A: I have been craving sushi for the entire pregnancy. This will probably be the first thing that I want to devour after giving birth.
Q: What is your favorite thing about pregnancy?
A: My favorite thing is feeling him kick. Once I was able to feel him kick and move, it all became so much more real for my husband and I. It reminds me that this miracle, this new life is growing inside of me and he will always be a part of our lives.
Q: On the flip side; your least favorite thing?
A: My least favorite things would have to be the nausea and the uncontrollable mood swings.
Q: What have you found most difficult to adjust to during pregnancy?
A: This may seem superficial, but the most difficult thing I've had to adjust to is my weight gain and growing baby bump. Before getting pregnant, I was training for a figure fitness competition, which meant I was spending two hours a day lifting weights and eating a bodybuilder type diet. I have always been thin and before becoming pregnant, I was honestly proud and happy with how my body was beginning to look. After getting pregnant, I realized that no amount of cardio or weightlifting would make this growing bump disappear. Even 33 weeks into my pregnancy, I have to remind myself that I am a beautiful woman, and that my bump is something to be proud of!
Q: Anything else you want to add?
A: I am so excited to chat and write about issues that many pregnant women are also experiencing! I cannot wait to hear from all of you about your stories and little bundles of joy.

6 Overlooked Early Pregnancy Signs & Symptoms
Nausea. Heightened sense of smell. A missed period. There are dozens of pregnancy symptoms we are familiar with. Many of the traditional pregnancy indicators are not unique to pregnancy, and often present the week of a missed period or in the weeks following. For many women, the time spent waiting for delayed menstruation (weeks after trying to conceive or when you think you may have become pregnant) can seem like a lifetime.
Women who are in tune with their bodies might be in luck! Earlier than any pregnancy test on the market, your body could be showing several signs and symptoms of pregnancy. Here are 6 often over-looked pregnancy symptoms that could appear before a positive.
1) Spotting
Was that my period? If it was a little light and a little early, you could be confusing early menstruation with implantation bleeding. Usually occurring between 6-12 days post conception, the embryo implants itself and can cause light spotting.
2) Fatigue and Tiredness
If you're almost falling asleep at the dinner table, or sneaking to your car at work for ten minutes of shut eye, your body could be telling you baby is on board. In the 1st week after conception, progesterone levels rise, blood sugar can lower, and blood pressure can drop to provide greater blood flow to baby. That afternoon energy drop might be telling you something.
3) Dizziness
Along with feeling fatigued, you may experience dizziness or light-headedness, which can also begin to occur in the first week after conception. As blood vessels dilate and blood pressure drops you can be at risk for dizziness and even fainting, so be sure to take a seat and a drink of water if you're not feeling yourself.
4) Shortness of Breath
When did the stairs to my office triple in height? Baby needs oxygen and blood to develop and grow, so even though a pregnancy test won't tell you for sure, in the first few weeks after conception sharing your oxygen and blood with baby can cause shortness of breath. While not usually dangerous, this uncomfortable and sometimes exhausting pregnancy symptom can be reduced by maintaining an exercise routine and listening to your body (aim to get to work a few minutes early to slow down on the stairs and take a short break before beginning your day).
5) Swollen/Tender Breasts
Your hormones begin to shift as soon as conception occurs, and within 1-2 weeks, many symptoms can present. Some breast changes, including darkening or leaking, are more often associated with later pregnancy, but swollen and tender breasts can begin 1-2 weeks after conception. Often confused with tenderness associated with PMS, many women note that breast swelling as a pregnancy symptom is much more intense than PMS tenderness.
6) Food Aversions
If you find yourself nauseated by the thought of a meal you used to love, it might not be the flu or changing tastes. Although cravings get the bulk of the pregnancy cliche attention, food aversions can have a stronger effect on women. Food aversions can present within two weeks of conception, and are attributed to hormonal changes. Many experts agree that aversions to some foods are a biological response to pregnancy so women avoid foods that are dangerous to baby, including alcohol, and processed or spoiled foods. Strong food aversions, coupled with a heightened sense of smell can be a strong contributor to pregnancy-related nausea.
So if you're staring at your calendar, waiting for the day you can successfully take a pregnancy test, ease your mind by paying close attention to the signs your body might be giving you.

Real Mom Blogs: 28 Weeks Pregnant
At 28 weeks pregnant, the third trimester becomes a reality. This is the home stretch, baby will be here in the next 10-12 weeks. For me, having had my first baby at 36 weeks, I am officially on high alert– even though I could be waiting around until I'm 40+ weeks. At this point, physical fatigue is a way of life. My feet hurt after work, and I have an appointment for a prenatal massage that I'm hoping will help the annoying pinch in my back; but complaints aside, I'm convinced this baby is about as healthy as they come– if the strength of his kicks and punches are any indication!
This week, we did most of our baby shopping, since waiting until I am nine months pregnant and waddling around the mall during Christmas shopping season didn't seem like a good plan. I have to say I forgot how much I love the smell of baby laundry soap in my house!
Taking out my yoga mat, even if for just ten minutes a day has really helped me relax the last few weeks. Some simple stretching and breathing exercises has been extremely energizing, relaxing, and calming as I get wider and less capable of putting on my own socks. If all else fails, I've also taken up a regular bubble bath schedule, I highly recommend it– we deserve it! (just be sure the water temp. is very mild and not too hot)
Measuring in around 15 inches, and weighing in at about 2.3lbs, baby at 28 weeks gestation has an almost perfect survival rate (about 9 in 10 babies) where medical intervention is available. While it is ideal to keep baby baking as long as possible, its pretty comforting to hear that all the work you've put into this little person is about to come to fruition.
More about baby this week:
Baby's eyes are now partially open and can blink– those peepers might even have some pigmentation, although experts say it can take months after birth for their eye color to develop; it took my son almost a year to get his chocolate brown eyes!
Light and sounds now contribute a great deal to baby's understanding of the world– I know this because some strategically placed headphones or flashlight can cause what on the outside appears to be an earthquake of kicks! Baby is also slowly filling out and packing on the fat, making those kicks and punches a little more power-packed.
Your body:
While many symptoms, including sciatic pain, stretch marks, and swelling, become more common in the 3rd trimester, I have been lucky enough to avoid these so far. If you're like me, you might be stopping in your tracks a few times a day.. (Why did I come into this room? Where did I put my wallet?), pregnancy brain. Doctors attribute this memory lapse to the emotional impact of pregnancy and hormonal changes– but most of the time I just tell those around me I need a nap!
You might also be noticing an increase in bathroom breaks, thanks to the little 2.5lb weight on your bladder.
Gestational diabetes testing should also be done by this point. This is the only legal form of pregnancy torture I am aware of (kidding), where we get to drink what is essentially cold, flat, extremely sugary soda, wait for an hour, and be pricked with needles. While it can be uncomfortable (nauseating, annoying…) it's an extremely important test to ensure you are maintaining a healthy blood sugar level, which is an indicator for mom's risk of high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, and baby's risk of high birth weight, jaundice, and low blood sugar. ┬áIf your early blood work showed you are Rh negative, you'll be receiving an extra needle this week to prevent complications.

All About Poop
Solid Switches
Once your baby starts eating solid food (usually between 4 and 6 months), her poop and her poop schedule will start to change. She'll go less frequently, and the stools themselves will become thicker in consistency.
Because baby's first food is usually rice cereal fortified with iron, you may notice some constipation: Rice and iron are notorious for backing things up, so to speak. If that's the case, you can switch to iron-fortified baby oatmeal or limit rice cereal intake to once a day and mix in some pureed prunes.
But consistency and frequency aren't the only diaper surprises. Dorre Kleinman, of Brooklyn, New York, opened her 8-month-old's diaper one morning and had quite a shock. "Sasha's poop was striped in orange, green, and blue, almost like a scarf," she says.
"I would have panicked, but then I remembered she had eaten sweet potatoes, peas, and quite a few mushed-up blueberries for dinner the night before." When babies start solids, Technicolor poop is very common and nothing to fret over; if your baby has a penchant for Blue's Clues yogurt, expect even stranger hues ahead.
An even bigger shock is when the corn you fed baby for dinner arrives several hours later -- whole and intact -- in her diaper. "Certain foods will pass through undigested. This is normal, as babies don't chew their food well and tend to process food quickly through the digestive tract," Dr. Pittman explains.
By your baby's first birthday, when he is eating a wider range of solid foods, poop starts to change its style again. You might notice that the smell, color, and texture of the stool varies throughout the day, depending on what the child has eaten, says Dr. Brown. In general, it will start getting browner and thicker and will look more like grown-up poop.
A word of warning: Now that your toddler isn't pooping as often as when he was a newborn, you are probably changing diapers less frequently. That's great for your sanity, but not so great for your kid's tush. Prolonged exposure to a wet diaper filled with bacteria-ridden poop can cause diaper rash. "It's a good idea to change diapers after meals and before naptime or bedtime to prevent the diaper area from being chronically moist," says Dr. Brown.

Take an airline that, in spite of being privatised, is still considered the national airline and, on the other hand, a strange approach towards a national symbol such as the state president and you get an embarrassing incident. This leads to asking, "How did this incident happen?".
Any business should be based on commercial rules, but also on what is referred to as "sensitivity to the environment", and this time not in the context of pollution. Last week Israeli airline EL AL lacked that sensitivity, which caused the the national airline huge embarrassment and even commercial damage.
Israeli president Shimon Peres flew on Sunday to Canada for an official visit on an Air Canada flight that took off from Ben Gurion international airport.
With no Israeli equivalent of Air Force One for leaders, before every official visit abroad, the prime minister's or the president's office issues a tender to one of the airlines. The preference, of course, is an Israeli airline. This time EL AL submitted an offer.
One of the demands for air travel for 88-year-old Peres is that his personal paramedic will have an oxygen tank on board. When EL AL got that demand, it asked for an extra $4,700.
The president's office thanked EL AL and within hours obtained an offer from the Israeli office of Air Canada.
Air Canada offered a significantly lower price for the president's travel, and did not ask for an extra charge for in-cabin storage for the oxygen tank.
After the tickets were issued, EL AL finally understood that a big mistake had been made – but that was too late.
The EL AL official comment was strange, like the decision itself. A spokesman for the airline said: "We salute the president."
The pilots of EL AL were furious and their association chairman, Captain Nir Zook, sent a letter of apology to the president.
So instead of EL AL appearing on almost every TV screen in the world this week, Air Canada will be there, benefiting from EL AL's lack of sensitivity.
In my opinion, EL AL's recent financial loss, even before the open skies agreement with the EU has been signed, caused its management to lose its cool. In the aviation business, this is a bad thing.
Extra fee for presidential travel an embarrassment to EL AL
Take an airline that, in spite of being privatised, is still considered the national airline and, on the other hand, a strange approach towards a national symbol such as the state president and you get an embarrassing incident. This leads to asking, "How did this incident happen?".

Hey all!
I know I've been quiet, so here's just a quick update:
School is moving right along...tough week though, too many things going on - lots of distruptions, but whatever...it's going to be like that here & there!
Maintenance, just fine...my usual junk still...the monkey on my back, but I'm maintaining, so that is a positive in my book!!!
And just a quick note to those who feel the need to advertize on people blogs...it's a real thorn in my side, so DON'T do it on mine, thank you very much.
Why do I even bring this up????? Because it is a pet peeve - a BIG ONE.
I do NOT care if some pill or herb or drink helped you out, because, you see - I've done all that crap and ya know what? It does NOT WORK!!!!!! (in my humble opinion) Why would I be busting my butt eating right and exercising (when I can) to keep this weight off if there were a magic pill out there????? Why would I be going to school for Nutrition for Pete's sake if I didn't learn a bunch of stuff on HERE to go and want pay it forward by helping others?????
Oh yes, I will delete you as fast as it is put up...and in fact, I'm going to take note and jot some names down too, and report it to the higher ups.
If that is what you want to do on YOUR page....BE MY GUEST! but have the courtesy to keep it OFF OF MINE!
I don't go around preaching about anything in the form of politics, religion or race either. The only thing I could possibly be called preachy about is nutrition tracking! Repect other people and talk amongst yourselves in a team forum if you want to...just don't go splattering your stuff on random people's pages.
There - I feel better. Best of luck to you and your "whatever" too.
Hey all!!
I'm BAAAAAAAAACK!!
Back to tracking.
Back to feeling the most normal and sane in a while...and yes, I will attribute it to the tracking.
Food tracking is my passion! There you go - I openly admit it...I am a nutrition tracking junkie!!
In front of me now is a calendar CHOCK full of well...you name it...but ya know what? It is not daunting me - laughing at me - or provoking me into insanity which, honestly a few days ago, would have.
A couple of calculations and writing things down helped a bunch, and just like Sparking, I'm attacking my calendar in the same way. Step by step....and day by day.
This is my comfort zone now...I will get everything done in due time. I will put the effort in when needed, but I will also note and pay attention when to take a break. There, in black & white, it is a bit easier to handle. Trust me, I wigged out and did not sleep well a few days once everything was put onto this calendar, but now that I'm implementing the first crazy part, it's not so bad.
Bit by bit....day by day...things will get done....just like weightloss, it takes perseverance. I got that...it's time to use it in a different genre, that's all.
Now....all I have to do is s-q-u-eeeeeee-z-e in some cardio time. What? are you surprised? Hey, there are only so many hours in the day! LoL Don't worry...I'm planning on walking to work a few days a week....see? Time management at it's finest!!
That was a text I shot back at my girlfriend this morning....she asked me if jellybeans were fat-free! LOL Of course they are, but we just talked about how we've fallen off the wagon since Easter hit...so PUT...the candy....BACK!!! Or rather....put them in the garbage! Which she texted me back "Put in sink and soaped them up good" - well, that'll work too! LOL
What's funny about our 10 minute conversation this morning is that I confessed to her that I ate rainbow cookies and brownies in the last week ***GASP!!*** {Let me digress for those of you who do not know me very well - I usually stay away from these things ENTIRELY because they can make me sick...literally, if I overdo it. No joke.} and yes, my dear friend's face and jaw hit the floor in shock!! Yup...I ate a Keebler graham cookie on my nieces birthday on April Fool's Day...and I didn't get sick...and that lead to a bite of cake on her birthday again the next weekend...and some rainbow cookies...and then the brownies. There - the Spark confession is now over too. Whew! - now that wasn't so bad! LoL
But here is the kicker....if I keep doing these little snacky thingies...I really will get sick...which is HORRIBLE, so I think I'm done being naughty.
It's a bummer, because right now, all I do is study, work, mom, wife, study, work, mom, wife....you know - the grind we all go thru, and in talking with my girlfriend who is in the same boat as me....well, the food is that bit of control and comfort and guilt that we get to indulge in that is ALL OURS!!!!! and it's ALL ABOUT US in that moment there. A silly stupid moment that ends in regret as soon as it's over...and then the guilt starts in again and then there we go! the emotional rollercoaster of eating begins ONCE AGAIN!!!
....and to stop it is like going through withdrawal or detox - she was just telling me that too....how she gets the shakes (which I've heard before from sugar lovers like herself) and then satiates the symptom with the sugar again. So when she texted me....she broke her cycle a bit - which (to me) is awesome.
So today is my own detox day. I have a buttload of fruit I bought at Costco because it was cheaper..but geez it's a lot!! So instead of letting it go bad - I am on a fruit kick today. Between that and my water, I'm on the road to detoxing the refined sugars out of my body once again....and again...and again. LolL - I know exactly what to do, I've been here before you see, and I've come to far to let the sugary lovely baked good win. Strike that....to let the sugary EVIL baked goods win.
Funny - but I was thinking the last time I felt like this.....kinda stressed out, not happy about gaining a few back and not exercising, the eating drinking & being merry had caught up with me....and it was right around my 10th anniversary and 1 year maintenance sparkiversary in July of 2009. I took control then....I can take control again now. The last time I took control I lost 10 pounds. Hmmm....i wonder where this one is going to take me? My minigoal is 135 (honestly I haven't weighed myself in a week - I think I was 137 then) and I'm due for a SparkCheck tomorrow....but it's not so much about eating, it's about moving again!! The whole studying thing is me on my butt - the biggest change EVER! - and I need to get moving again - whether it be simple stuff at night or walking to work here & there during the week. Something is going to give....I just have to fit it in and do it once and for all.
Boy - I bet I sound like a broken record to a few people, but you know what? I'm keeping this journey real for you as well as me...it's about accountability...transparency....all those good buzz words people use. It keeps me in line. It's like that text that my friend sent me. In essence, this is MY text to you,
Everyday I weigh myself, or at least I try to....it's part of my maintenance.
And part of maintenance is to go up....and go down...and go up.....and go down...and go up...
Well, today was an up day.
And I HATE the up days.
I don't care WHO you are...those days are just NOT FUN!!!!
So I flipped the bird at my scale.
Juvenile - oh yes....did it feel good...meh (as my friend Taso would say)
It's just the constant reminder that this takes work...along with everything else, and sometimes, you just want something to be easy....just for once.
This ain't it...even on maintenance.
But then again....all things good in life do not come easy.
Raising a family - hard.
School - hard.
To find a job you like/love - hard.
Maintaining a marriage/relationship - hard.
But you know what....for all that hard work...to say you are happy, well, then... that is priceless and worth all the effort in the world.
OMG...this thing is HUGE!!!
Right on my CHIN!!! Why oh why God, do you HAVE to still bless us with these huge, painful sebumlicious clear oil oozing things when we are in our 30s???? WHY!!?!?!?!
I must be going through some huge hormonal shift or something...my skin looks disgusting
Hmmm...maybe it's sympathy pregnancy or something...a bunch of people I know are expecting.,,,maybe it's the increased bit of carbs I've had...maybe it's the stress about NOT eating the chocolate and peeps and jellybeans sitting at my table.
I can be completely honest that it's NOT from eating the easter bunny's loot he left behind. I only had 1 measly piece of candy this year. Maybe it's because my body is stressed and it WAAAAANTTSSSS that ----but sorry Charlie...no can do....it's bad enough that I've eaten the hardboiled eggs. WHOA - hold on a sec....the EGGS!!!! I have had an increase in EGGS!!!!! More than any other time...since I can ever remember!! And in the last 3 day especially!!
Maybe it's that...I'm betting on that one now.
But in the meantime...my chin looks like Mount Etna is going to blow. No makeup can cover this thing up tomorrow...that's for sure.
I'll take suggestions...toothpaste? windex? I'll try anything!!!!!!

Dean Alberto Godenzi from the Boston College School of Social Work proposed a suggestion for how the National Football League (NFL) can take an "unequivocal stance on domestic violence" in an op-ed for the Boston Globe.
Godenzi suggests that the league should ask team captains to read a statement against domestic violence and sexual abuse prior to the kickoff of games. It's an idea Godenzi borrows from the playbook of soccer's major governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), who launched an anti-racism campaign in response to repeated acts of intolerance from players, fans, and management.

I have the opposite of premature ejaculation..
When I'm having sex I find it takes a long time to come during the sex itself or even during a BJ.
I love the fact that I can go for hours while gettin a good workout or just sittin there while shes on her knees for an hour but I feel a little stupid when the girl looks at me like "can you please cum now?"
i think i made this chick sad last night cuz she wasnt able to make me come.
Any ideas on why this is the way it is or how I can get myself to blow my load more easily?

It depends. I have noticed the longer I have been with a female the longer it takes me to cum when she does certain things. The newer the girls, the sooner I cum. On most occassions that is. Is it a girl you have been with for awhile?

You're not as into it as you think you are. I can practically go on command usually. Never met a girl who liked it for hours non stop (breaks in between yeah) When you hear "can you cum now" that means get the f uck off lol.
When you beat your s hit do you cum quick? Or does it take long too? Try a different position if you need to. There's a few for me that just kill me..in a good way.

And you're complaining about it? I have the same thing, and it's even worst with a rubber on, but it's a blessing. Would you rather be able to bang a girl for an hour or just nut as soon as you put it in?

You have to consult biographies like Brian Boyd's for the full, remarkable facts of Nabokov's life. A millionaire at 17 (his sister danced in Diaghilev gowns with Fabergé gems at the Winter Palace), repeatedly exiled, forced to bust out of one chrysalis after another into new lives, the writer retained only the infinite wealth of his memory and art. This book is a mosaic shaped by a mind so metaphorical that, as a babe, Nabokov perceived letters as colors, the alphabet as a rainbow.
The loss of his father is at Speak, Memory's core. This memoir is worth owning for a single paragraph alone, about the sight of Nabokov senior being tossed aloft by grateful peasants he'd been generous to--a dozen or so with locked arms flinging him up in a hip-hip-hooray ritual.
There, for an instant, the figure of my father in his wind-rippled white summer suit would be displayed, gloriously sprawled in midair.... Thrice, to the mighty heave-ho of his invisible tossers, he would fly up ... and then there he would be, on his last and loftiest flight, reclining, as if for good, against the cobalt blue of the summer noon, like one of those paradisiac personages who comfortably soar, with such a wealth of folds in their garments, on the vaulted ceiling of a church while below, one by one, the wax tapers in mortal hands light up to make a swarm of minute flames in the mist of incense, and the priest chants of eternal repose, and funeral lilies conceal the face of whoever lies there, among the swimming lights, in the open coffin.Nabokov recaptures the paradise of his youth, and acquits himself of the coldness of which some accuse him. He plays literary games, but he plays for keeps. --Tim Appelo

A B&H Guide to Podcasting
An introduction to Podcasting equipment
By Sam Mallery
Printer-Friendly Version
A podcast is a homemade audio program that you create on your computer and share with the rest of the universe through the internet. All that is needed is a computer, some audio equipment, and compelling ideas. B&H is here to help you with the equipment.
When selecting equipment to buy, first determine two things:
In order to bring your podcast into reality, you're going to need to record your voice into your computer.
The four primary ways podcasters record themselves are:
Consider getting an audio interface
Using a computer's built-in microphone input or a USB microphone is a more affordable and simplified approach to recording. Unfortunately, they have a major limitation; you will never be able to use more than one microphone. Audio interfaces are more flexible. Some offer multiple microphone inputs and multiple headphone jacks. They also allow you to use better sounding microphones. Portable recorders offer mobility, but are limited by recording time, battery life, and flexibility. Ideally you'd have a portable recorder and a home set-up.
If you decide to use an audio interface, you're going to need to purchase some microphones to plug into it. B&H sells a wide range of microphones to fit any budget.
You're also going to need to own audio software that allows you to record, edit, and mix your project. A variety of audio applications are available at B&H for both Windows and Macintosh. Audio software takes a little getting used to, so be patient when you first get started. You will quickly realize that the creative possibilities are endless.
Use headphones when you record, this way you can monitor yourself as you speak into the microphone. For multiple guests it's useful to own a headphone amplifier and extra pairs of headphones. You will need odds and ends like microphone cables, microphone stands, and good computer speakers. It also doesn't hurt to own an iPod. You'll want to hear the final product the way your listeners will.
B&H sells a variety of pre-packaged podcasting kits. They're handy all-in-one solutions to get up and running.
Most importantly, don't be intimidated by all of this unfamiliar equipment and software. Podcasting is an exciting and powerful new medium and B&H will be there for you, should you have any questions.

text: Home > Medical > Allergy > What happens to my body Updated 24 June 2014 Why does my nose cause such trouble? Your nose has the task of filtering out the unwanted substances and preventing them from entering the lungs. 0 iStock Could you have a caffeine allergy? Sponsored by Your nose has the task of filtering out the unwanted substances and preventing them from entering the lungs. As you inhale, the circulates through the nasal passages, being filtered, moistened and warmed as it does so. When you inhale an allergen such as pollen or pet dander, it's filtered out the usual way and becomes lodged in the nasal passages, where it encounters mast cells. If you're allergic to the substance, the mast cells react by releasing histamine, which causes the blood vessels in the nose to dilute and secrete fluid intio the surrounding tissue. This causes itching, swelling and inflammation, creating symptoms such as an itchy, runny nose and sneezing. Mast cells are in all the places you experience allergic reactions: in the mucous membranes lining the eyes, in your digestive tract, lungs and skin. They're also in your sinuses.(Picture: Baby rubbing nose from Shutterstock) Read more: Sinusitis Nosebleed Allergy Society of South Africa (ALLSA) From our sponsor Trouble in the air for hayfever sufferers Students preparing for finals should beware of caffeine allergy Read Health24's Comments Policy Comment on this story 0 comments Add your comment Thank you, your comment has been submitted.

The Philadelphia Flyers have five players currently playing in Canadian Major Juniors, led by 2012 first round pick Scott Laughton. Four of the five prospects are forwards, with Colin Suellentrop being the only defenseman of the group.

Team Rankings: Columbus Blue Jackets feature improved prospect pool after busy off-season
Below is the bottom third of the NHL Team Rankings in terms of prospects as voted on by Hockey's Future staff. To determine the ranking, each team's entire prospect pool was taken into consideration. For reference, just the top five prospects are listed. To be eligible, a prospect must meet HF's prospect criteria. The rankings are done twice a year, with the second scheduled to be published in the Spring.
Hard working depth players populate Philadelphia Flyers prospect pool
While the Philadelphia Flyers prospect pool consistently hovers near the bottom of the league, it is not for a lack of production. A steady stream of graduates has kept the team rotating through young talent since the end of the 2004-05 NHL Lockout. Though they once again lack blue-chip prospects within their pool, most of the weight for the future of the team is carried by young NHL players such as Claude Giroux, Jakub Voracek, Sean Couturier, and the Schenn brothers, Luke and Brayden.
Numerous defensive prospects for Philadelphia Flyers expected to have big 2012-13 seasons
With an incredible amount of young talent on the NHL roster, an intriguing group of prospects on the verge of becoming NHL regulars, and championship aspirations, there is a delicate balancing act going on within the Philadelphia Flyers' front office. There is also a vital need to keep the defense from falling into disrepair with Chris Pronger's injury problems and Kimmo Timonen's inevitable fall from the upper echelon of NHL defensemen.
Scott Laughton new top prospect for Philadelphia Flyers
While the Philadelphia Flyers do not necessarily have a deep or talented prospect pool, it is not because of poor drafting and prospect development. On the contrary, the Flyers' prospect pool is shallow because the organization does a masterful job transitioning their prospects directly to the NHL, with Brayden Schenn, Sean Couturier, and Matt Read the most recent to make the jump.

Hyatt To Buy AmeriSuites
N.Y. Hotels Seek Rebound
Leading Lodging Cos. Increase Presence In China
The 25 Most Influential Business Travel Executives Of 2012
High-End Hotel Brands Make Inroads Into Tokyo
September 14, 2011 - 10:25 AM EST
The World Travel & Tourism Council is moving into the
second phase of its project with the International Tourism Partnership to
develop carbon reporting standards for hotels. Several hotel
companies—including Accor, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Worldwide,
Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, InterContinental Hotels Group, Marriott
International, MGM Resorts International, Movenpick Hotels & Resorts,
Premier Inn, Red Carnation Hotel Collection, Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide and Wyndham Worldwide—are working with the groups to develop the
standards, which largely will be informed by the GHG Protocol standards. WTTC
president and CEO David Scowsill recently updated BTN lodging editor Michael B. Baker on the project's progress.
It's something in which WTTC has been involved for a long
time. If you look at greenhouse emissions from airlines or cruises, it's
relatively easy to compare across countries, across groups, etc. Within the
hotel industry, everybody uses different standards, different ways of measuring
things and different things that they measure. It's very important for us, as a
global body with a lot of hotel groups as members, to play a leading role in
this in order to provide a bit of power to the numbers that people are producing.
It's a three-phase project. The first phase ran from May to
August of this year. We haven't yet decided on the timeline for phases two and
three, but those will come out fairly shortly. The working group will reconvene
this fall to work out the next phase. We'll work to further develop more
comprehensive methodology and fine-tune what we did in phase one through to
June 2012.
We're looking along the lines of air conditioning output
from hotels against heating output, restaurant usage, electricity usage and
everything from cleaning equipment to purification systems, all of which have
greenhouse gas implications. It's every part of the hotel supply chain. The aim
very much is to come up with a base guideline with these methods and then
calculate the carbon footprint of individual rooms. You can take it down to a
room level by looking at the overall greenhouse gas emission of a particular hotel
divided by the number of available of rooms.
It's been the aim of this from the very beginning to ensure
that this does align with the most commonly used standards of the GHG Protocol.
There were a number of difficulties with that. Clearly, the group has been in
the process of fleshing this out, and we don't have all of the answers at the
moment. Different companies measure in different ways. We're trying to take a
number of existing standards, like the GHG Protocol, and make sure it all hangs
together under the banner of the initiative.
It's a possible use of the data, but it's just one of them.
We're not doing this in order to compare one hotel against another or one hotel
group against the other. By the range of people involved, you can see it's a
pretty cross-industry and serious group. How the data would be used eventually,
it's impossible to say at this stage. It will have a very wide range of uses. Corporate
travel managers absolutely could be one set.
You could use the data that way, absolutely. It isn't
necessarily an explicit goal of the project to do that, but it would be one of
the implications of the data.
It's a set group for now. If others wanted to join the group,
there'd be no pushback. With the range of companies that are involved, individuals
aren't looking at it for a competitive advantage. It's about trying to set up a
series of common standards, so we would welcome anybody else and particularly
their data set into this. We'd love to have them as a part of the research.
IHG Owners Association president Eva Ferguson—who has been with the association for 30 years, including nine in her current leadership role—spoke recently with Business Travel News senior editor Michael B. Baker about some of the most recent initiatives facing owners that affect both the look and design of hotels, as well as how owners manage their business mixes.
More stories
BCD Travel this month appointed 10-year company vet Craig Bailey to serve as president of its North America operations (encompassing the United States and Canada), overseeing "client management, contracts, budgets and relationships with all other regions," according to the travel management company. His role was created in conjunction with promotions for Mike Janssen (now global COO) and John Snyder (now CEO). Bailey most recently had been BCD Travel's senior vice president of the North America Central region and TBiz. He spoke recently with BTN executive editor David Jonas about account management, technology and the TBiz integration. Excerpts follow.
Los Angeles - Accor Hotels senior vice president of global sales Carlo Olejniczak in late July discussed with BTN editor-in-chief Chris Davis the implications of the global hotel company's move to a Salesforce customer relationship management system, the state of corporate negotiations, business travel and meetings demand and Accor's distribution strategy.
"We are building our own expense tool," Steven
Mandelbaum said during a recent phone conversation. "It won't be oriented
around expense reports but around line items." And so it is, yet another ambitious, perhaps audacious,
project for The Advisory Board Co. vice president of business solutions and BTN's 2014 Travel Manager of the Year.
Los Angeles - American Express Global Business Travel president and CEO Bill Glenn took the stage here last month during the Global Business Travel Association's annual convention. During his speech he discussed the ambition to "create the curve." The BTN Group editorial director David Meyer and executive editor David Jonas later sat with Glenn to discuss that point, as well as development of the new Amex GBT, following the creation of a joint venture with outside investors.
Los Angeles - Following his appearance here at the Global Business Travel Association's annual convention, American Airlines Group CEO Doug Parker late last month spoke with Business Travel News senior editor Michael B. Baker about the impacts of the American-US Airways merger on corporate share and business, the merger's next steps and possible effects of recent attention to airline route safety.
A difficult negotiating climate has not soured
