My friend Allyssa is doing a 30 day challenge. I have done a 30 day challenge before, but this list is different than any list I have seen. I will be starting today.
Day 1: Something you hate about yourself.
As a woman there are plenty of things I dislike or even hate about myself. That is normal for a woman. But I would have to say I hate how easily I let things get to me, I am such an emotional person. I cry so easily. I have always been this way even when I was a little kid. Sometimes all you need is a good cry but most times its really annoying and the emotions get in the way.
**What is something you hate about yourself?
Keep up in between posts, I Tweet , A lot.

Midnapore (WB), Nov 19: A day after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee slammed ally Congress for taking out an anti-government rally, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh today said his party had not taken 'political VRS' and had a right to do so in the state.
"We have not taken political VRS in West Bengal or taken any vow that we will not bring out any procession. This is part of the political process," Ramesh, the Union Rural Development minister, told reporters at Lalgarh in West Midnapore district.
"Congress and Trinamool Congress belong to one family and it is the right of all to take out political processions. There is nothing wrong in it," Ramesh said when asked to comment on the chief minister taking umbrage at the Youth Congress rally in Kolkata.
"I don't find anything wrong that can spark a row," Ramesh, who visited villages to supervise implementation of the central Integrated Action Plan Aid scheme in junglemahal, said.
Congress MPs Mousam Benazir Noor and Deepa Dasmunshi had led a silent procession through Banerjee's assembly segment in the metropolis yesterday against attacks on Congressmen and police inaction.
Banerjee's assembly segment is part of the Kolkata South Lok Sabha seat where a bypoll will be held on November 30.

O11y Harlow, 1961-2017
Post this page to popular social media
Oliver (O11y) Harlow, who passed away on New Year's Eve after a long illness, was a very popular and highly valued volunteer at the Museum for many years. His career was in electronic engineering working mainly in defence systems design and he brought a wealth of experience, knowledge, skill – and personality – to his volunteering at the Museum.
O11y (he used digits in his nickname) arrived on the museum scene in 2011 and soon offered his treasured 1960s Elliott 903 on which he had first developed his computing expertise. Generations of computers had superseded that Elliott 903, but O11y was very attached to it and when his old school decided to consign it to the rubbish tip, he rescued it, storing it first in his bedroom, then his attic and various other places before it found its home at the Museum. With fellow volunteers Terry Frogatt and Peter Williamson, he delighted in restoring it to its former glory. Today, it plays an important cameo role in the Learning Programme for students learning about ASCII
At the Museum, O11y created the spares and components (especially valves) store. His friend and fellow volunteer, Colin Eby explains: "O11y was our quartermaster. He could be found in his lair — a workshop stacked to the rafters with parts, donations and projects. He'd be wearing his overalls emblazoned 'Nerd Grade III'. He was a lynch pin and a constant. He contributed his warmth, humour and expertise to almost any aspect of museum work you could imagine."
That work included being volunteers' association treasurer, accessions team lead, co-ordinator of the 8-bit home computer and home-gaming systems (especially his favourites, the Ataris and Commodores), keen supporter of robotics projects for Bytes festivals, often creating his own mini-robots, and the logistical brains behind the acquisition of the Royal Navy Combined Tactical Trainer simulation system.
Along with his technical expertise, came a very personable rapport with everyone at Block H: museum visitors, young and old, fellow volunteers, staff and trustees. Throughout his long illness, he came to the Museum whenever he could, always with a smile and a friendly word, despite what we imagine was his considerable discomfort and pain. He would often break his Friday journey home from work to drop in with a cheery chat with staff. Even when hospitalised, his emailed updates from his sick bed were frank and funny. Everyone marvelled at his resilience and good humour.
O11y would also act as an unofficial mentor for some. Steve Kay recalls "When I started volunteering at the Museum, O11y and I sorted, identified and stored away many boxes of valve donations together - his dry sense of humour ensured this was never boring. He could turn his hand to most things, but did once respond to my idea about a circuit that he couldn't help because he 'didn't do analogue'. TNMoC will be much depleted without him."
Colin Eby speaks for so many at the museum: "At the end of a Saturday, we'd gather round a pub table. O11y's drink was a Coke – no ice – or, at the height of summer, perhaps one cube. We'd nurse our drinks, swap tales and crack each other up with laughter. O11y passes into our legends and stories – but at Nerd Grade I, not his self-proclaimed III. I'll remember him with every pint I drink and every resistor I solder."

Conventional and PALS practices were used as inputs for the EPIC model to simulate the effects of the systems over 108 years on an Athena soil. Total erosion over 108 yr under PALS was 40% less than the conventional system. Nitrogen loss through water was 25% less under PALS than conventional. Percolation loss of N was zero for both systems. Neither system had significant increase or decrease in yields after 108 yr of erosion.

It's nearly the end of 2016, the year that brought us endless celebrity deaths, #Brexit and…um, Donald Trump… But we don't like to dwell on the negatives here at SocialB! 2016 was a great year for social media platforms to expand and for brands to utilise the ever-changing features that these channels had on offer. We also saw brands become bolder with their social media presence, from taking the mick out of themselves to providing hilarious customer service. We're taking a look back at some of our favourite campaigns and social posts from 2016, from experimenting with 'AI' Twitter bots to the daring reactions taken by some on the controversial news to heartwarming charitable campaigns.
Brands Voiced Their Opinions
As we mentioned above, 2016 had it's fair share of controversial news and some brands decided to speak out this year instead of staying silent. You can argue that brands should always remain neutral on certain subjects but these companies did not hold back on subjects like the EU Referendum and Trump's presidential win.
The fashion parade was amongst the first to voice their strong opinions on the EU Referendum, with Vivienne Westwood, Sibling London and Simone Rocha posting their thoughts to Instagram through powerful images and text, or just a blank screen to display their sadness.
Others tried to look on the bright side and shared humorous posts to spark a laugh no matter what your view on the subject, just like Paddy Power and Scotland Now;
Charity Begins On Social?
This year we saw many brands take on a more humanitarian side by sharing their charitable campaigns on social to raise awareness and get the wider public involved with interactive hashtags and features. Make-A-Wish Foundation and Disney Paris partnered together for their #ShareYourEars campaign which called for users to upload and share selfies of themselves with their Mickey Ears on using the hashtag on Twitter and Instagram. Each post that featured the hashtag unlocked a $5 donation from Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The campaign became a trending topic on Twitter and Facebook and the success of the campaign resulted in Disney doubling their original pledge and donating $2 million to Make-A-Wish Foundation.
To raise awareness on climate change, The WWF partnered with TINT to launch an ambitious interactive campaign on the London Underground. They displayed all social media content that was tagged with #EarthHourUK across LCD screens, encouraging passengers to engage in conversation around Earth Hour and drum up support for the cause. WWF displayed all its social media content (tagged #EarthHourUK) across LCD screens in the London Underground, encouraging passengers to declare their support for and engage in conversation around Earth Hour.
Live Video Reigned Supreme
Live Video on Facebook, Twitter (via Periscope) and, most recently, Instagram seemed to dominate the feeds in which we were subscribed to this year. The sports sector naturally adopted this platform with ease, sharing live interviews post-match, Q&A's with athletes and in some cases live streams of entire matches! But the fashion industry was keen to jump on this feature quickly too, with exclusive backstage passes, Q&A's and live runway shows. Periscope caused a buzz for Burberry when they live streamed their fashion show, London in Los Angeles. Viewers were able to get an exclusive inside look at new fashions as well as seeing live entertainment. Burberry's followers and customers were treated to something that was once shrouded in secrecy and exclusivity by giving them a glimpse at the glamorous world of fashion. Check out our recent blog on how the fashion industry and publications are using live video.
Social Media Fail Of 2016
In the name of science and research, Microsoft created an 'AI' Twitter bot in March called Tay. The creation was supposed to learn from Twitter users and engage in real-time conversations by itself. And of course trolls took advantage and ruined Tay for everyone… this is why we can't have nice things. The chatbot was designed to take its conversational cues from the internet but poor Tay quickly picked up on the trolls of Twitter and became extremely hostile, generating racist, sexist and generally offensive tweets. Microsoft quickly deleted the offending tweets and took the bot offline, stating "that they are making adjustments … [Tay] is as much a social and cultural experiment, as it is technical." Most notably it highlighted how Microsoft, one of the biggest technology companies in the world, grossly underestimated the power of the internet… yikes.

West End's Criterion renames bar in honour of Richard Attenborough
London's Criterion Theatre has renamed its bar in honour of the venue's former chairman, Richard Attenborough.
The Lord Attenborough Bar was unveiled on September 28 to a group of invited guests, who included Stephen Fry and Michael Attenborough, Richard's son.
Criterion Theatre owner Sally Green said: "I'm so proud and privileged to be able to rename the Criterion's bar in Richard's honour. Hopefully this will help to keep his memory alive for future generations. He did a great deal of work for the theatre and on a personal level has very much been an inspiration throughout my career."
Attenborough died in August last year.

Art Jackman is the better choice for Circuit Court judge. Let's look at what he's bringing to the table.
He graduated law school in the top 4 percent of his class. His military experience as a colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve and judge advocate for 27 years speaks volumes to this judicial watcher.
Of our current military veterans coming home, one third have been diagnosed with PTSD. Some will end up in family court. I cannot think of a better person to handle this situation than Art Jackman.
Our current family judges and magistrates are ill-equipped dealing with such matters. Often they bring in so-called "experts" who have never been in the military to help them with family court matters.
Digital Access For Only $0.99
For the most comprehensive local coverage, subscribe today.
This would only put additional stress on our veterans. Art Jackman has the military experience to understand the effects of PTSD of the veterans coming home.
Art Jackman has defended our country and swore to uphold the Constitution not only in defending our country but in the judicial and family court arena as well.
Art Jackman would make a fine addition to the Twelfth Circuit Court, especially in the area of family law for our veterans. Art Jackman would protect our constitutional rights to be a parent, which have been lacking under the current administration. In addition Art Jackman is a veteran prosecutor and former defense attorney.
It's time to bring our courts back in alignment with U.S. and Florida constitutions in which all officers of the court has taken that oath to uphold. The choice should be clear, Art Jackman, Circuit Court judge.
He has my vote.

This recipe appears in the July/August 2017 issue of Zymurgy magazine in the article Style Spotlight: Scottish Ales by Amahl Turczyn.
80 Shilling Scottish Ale | Scottish Export 80/-
- 11 lb. (5 kg) Golden Promise pale malt
- 5 oz. (142 g) 500° L roast barley
- 2 oz. (57 g) East Kent Goldings, 5% a.a. @ 60 min
- White Labs WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish Ale or Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale yeast (2L starter)
- 1 Whirlfloc tablet or 1 tsp. (5 g) Irish moss @ 15 min
- Original Gravity: 1.055 (13.5° P)
- Final Gravity: 1.016 (4° P)
Mash grains at 154° F (68° C) for one hour. Mash out at 168° F (76° C), and sparge at 170° F (77° C). Collect enough wort to account for evaporation from the long 120-minute boil.
After an hour of boiling, add the 60-minute hops. At 15 minutes, add either 1 Whirlfloc tablet or 1 tsp. (5 g) of Irish moss. After the boil, stir wort vigorously to create a whirlpool and precipitate out the trub. Chill wort to 63° F (17° C) as quickly as possible, run off into a fermenter, pitch yeast, and oxygenate for 1 minute using pure oxygen.
Fermentation should be allowed to free-rise to 67° F (19° C) during the first 4 days. It can then proceed at that temperature for another 10 days until terminal gravity is reached. Transfer to secondary (glass or stainless steel preferred), and cool to 36° F (2° C) and cold condition for 2–4 weeks.
While it is not traditional, some brewers choose to forgo the long boil and instead run the first 3–4 gallons (11–15 liters) of strong wort into the kettle, then stop runoff and boil that wort for 30 minutes. This creates caramel-like flavors and darkens the wort. Then the remainder of the wort can be run into the kettle and boiled another hour with the bittering hop charge.
Extract Version
Substitute pale malt with with 8.5 lb. (3.86 kg) Maris Otter liquid malt extract. Decrease roast barley to 4 oz. (113 g) and steep in 155° F (68° C) reverse osmosis (RO) water for 30 minutes. Remove grains. Dissolve extract and top up to desired boil volume with RO water. Add hops and boil 60 minutes. Proceed as above.

El Sueño del Caimán
- For Violin & Cello -
El Sueño del Caiman is inspired by the poem with the same name by Peruvian poet Jose Santos Chocano, one of Ivonne's favorite poets. The piece is divided in four movements, and each one of them represents each stanza of the poem.
Performed by two thirds of the trio forty/sixty at the 2017 Women Composers Festival of Hartford.
Performance on March 31, 2017 at 4pm at the Charter Oak Cultural Center in Hartford, Connecticut.
Duo Para Cajón
- For Cajón Duet -
Dúo Para Cajón is inspired by Steve Reich's percussion music, which Paredes always find very enjoyable to play. In this piece, Reich's methods of repetition and sequence have been infused with a dash of Peruvian flavor.
Performed by Matteo Cammisa in Lucca, Italy.
Hoguera de Silencios
- For Two Sopranos, Mezzo Soprano & Piano -
Hoguera de Silencios (Bonfire of Silence) is based on the poem by Peruvian poet Blanca Varela. Everything from the melodies to the sound effects that happen throughout the piece have been inspired by the text. This is the first work that Ivonne has done inspired by one of the poems by the Peruvian poet. She happened to discover Varela after looking for poems for this commission, and found Hoguera dark and intriguing.
Performed by JACOPERA (Jennie Legary, Anastasia Rege, and Christina Hourihan).
Performance on July 3, 2016 at Magazzino Musica (MaMu) in Milan, Italy.
- For Paetzold Recorder & Percussion -
Duet for Paetzold recorder and percussion performed by Hunter Long (recorder) and Ivonne Paredes (percussion).
Performed on July 25, 2015 at Charlotte Street Studios in Kansas City, MO.
- For Mallet Trio -
Oye (Listen) is a composition inspired by Peruvian singer-songwriter Eva Ayllon. Called "The Queen of Landó," Ayllon has a long history as a Festejo and Landó musician which are two popular styles of Peruvian music derived from African and indigenous Peruvian music. Paredes loves her music and the way she delivers it, she has such a passionate presence and penetrating voice. This is a tribute to her music, her legacy, and to Peruvian music in general.
This piece was initially for brass trio, then arranged for percussion.
Performed by Paula Battista, Gerard Sullivan, and Ivonne Paredes.
Live recording on December 10, 2012 in Studio 312 at Brooklyn College, New York.
- For Chamber Ensemble -
Being from Peru, Paredes focuses on highlighting her background by writing pieces inspired by various types of Peruvian music. This piece, Amazonia, is based on Amazonian music. It is an upbeat composition, accompanied by tribal dances native to some of tribal communities of the Peruvian Amazon.
Performed by Sarah Kuzma (flute), Tais Szilagi (flute), Paula Battista (percussion), Arsid Ketjuntra (percussion), and Gregory Post (piano).
Live recording on November 19, 2012 in Studio 312 at Brooklyn College, New York.

When a disaster like a flood hits a certain State, there are certain destructions that are inevitable especially to furniture when the water enters the residential houses. The most crucial thing in such a disaster is to save the life of the victims and perhaps restructure their houses in other places. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in collaboration with its contractors has been on the ground assisting those individuals who have been affected by hurricanes, tsunami, floods, earthquakes, blizzard, landslides, famine, drought, volcanic eruptions, and other common natural disasters. Follow Barbara Stokes on Linkedin.com.
Green Structure Homes in Huntsville has been a close ally and contractor of FEMA especially in 2017 when there was a hurricane that overwhelmed FEMA when it was dealing with more than 28 natural disasters. Green Structure Homes (GSH) was founded by a couple Scott Stokes and his wife Barbara Stokes. Currently, Barbara Stokes is the CEO of GSH who previously had been having engineering jobs, thus it was not hard for her to sail through in the same line. In 2008 the couple established GSH and started their contracting business.
By 2012, the business had seen the light and was able to secure an emergency housing contract worth $49 million. Their focus was to deal with the temporary housing after a disaster and fortunately their efforts were recognized and became the certified Disaster Relief Construction Contractor. Since then they have been supplying modular homes that are usually assembled in the site in just a few days. The homes are specifically designed to properly fit in a normal driveway and come along with various flexible configurations and are very cost effective. The home abides by all the rules of Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Barbara Stokes has become a great relief for families who had been hit by disasters by enhancing their safety in the comfortable Green Structure Homes. The company basically uses the engineering, art design, and manufacturing techniques whenever they are putting up a building. This definitely leads to using quality materials, right procedures, quality workmanship, and well-maintained houses. These factors have made GSH become one of the best reputable firms as far as craftsmanship is concerned.
Barbara Stokes experience in engineering combined with the experience of the other people in the management enables the firm to soar higher than equals hence making GSH the best known and reliable manufacturers of good quality structures. To increase their effectiveness in quality and accuracy, Barbara has CNC machines and AutoCAD incorporated in Green Structure Homes' production facility.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
No fancy outfit posts or reviews or anything today.. just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! For the next day or two, I will be enjoying this:
I also wanted to reflect on the true reason for the season, and that is the birth of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Christmas is always so busy that it's hard to think about anything other than presents and cooking and so on, but I try to stop and remember the importance of this day, and why I do everything I do. I mean literally, everything, in my day to day life. I do it for Christ, because of what he's done for me.
One last thing I will leave you with:
"In a couple of days another Christmas will be over. Decorations will be taken down and the grind of daily life will resume. We must do something to remember that the message and meaning of Christmas does not cease when the celebration is over. Christmas is not really about a celebration, Christmas trees, and piles of gifts. Christmas, the coming of Christ, is about everyday life. God is with us and we need to do anything we can, to remember that fact the rest of the year."
-Bruce Goettsche

The wine funnel became common towards the end of the 18th century; a few rare earlier examples exist. With the modern wine making methods wine funnels are generally used just for decanting wine however in olden times the wine needed to be filtered before drinking it. The pierced platform is not normally sufficient to strain the wine properly and needs a piece of muslin fitted between the pierced section and the spout. There are two main varieties: the first has a spout which detaches just below the bowl of the funnel, the other has a detachable inner bowl with a pierced centre inside the main bowl. Occasionally there is a further detachable ring which held the muslin firmly. Funnels exist without a pierced strainer and were probably used to decant liquor or possibly perfume; these are normally smaller in size.

My life has gone through a major transformation the past year. My marriage failed and I thought my life was over. However one day, after days and days of being miserable, I decided I had to change. I did a major mental overhaul and I have never been happier nor have I ever felt better. I chose life, I chose happiness, I chose positivity!! Despite the imense pain I endured with my divorce, I think if not for that traumatic event, I wouldn't have made the changes I have made and I wouldn't be the awesome person I am today. It still hurts, but I got so much more out of it than I lost. To anyone reading, choose happy. Just do it. It's such a waste of time not to.

On a fitness note, I have taken up running...and I have to say, it's addictive and ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! I LOVE it!!!

March 2010 282 pounds

Feb 2011 219 pounds

65 pounds down. I know I should be further along, but hey, I'm getting there. Slowly but surely.

email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641513943797749171.post-68164878071635097592010-07-25T19:51:00.000-05:002010-07-25T19:51:56.414-05:00HEY hey HEYI haven't written in a while. I guess because not much has been going on on the weight loss front. I'm still at what I was about a month ago. Insulin resistance sucks!! But I do have to say I'm not behaving like the best bandster. I've gotta get my butt in gear. I tried to get another 0.25 ccs put in about a month after my unfil but it didn't work. It's like anything over 5cc is too much for me. But at 5cc I can eat more than I would like to be able to. I really wish I could tolerate 5.25cc. It seems like that would be the perfect spot, but at that point, I can't even get apple sauce down. It's so odd.

Anyway, I'm starting cosmetology school next Tuesday. I decided to throw caution to the wind and just follow my dream. I'm going down to part time at the hospital, which scares the crap out of me as far as money goes, but we can do it (I hope!) I'll be going to school Tues-Sat, and working at the hospital Saturday and Sunday nights. Whew! That's gonna suck! lol! But I can do anything for 10 months right??

On top of all that, I've been seeing a reproductive enocrinologist. I had a sonogram of my ovaries and he said they looked great for having PCOS. I then had to have an HSG done where they shoot dye into my uterus to check for blockages and I passed! Wednesday I have another ultrasound, then in a few weeks I have an endometrial biopsy. Doc says this is the "investigation" period so after this cycle I'm sure the next one is where we'll get down to business. I'm thinking he'll put me on a mild fertility drug called Clomid to help induce ovulation. I pray it works for me.

On the home front, our garden is thriving, our chickens are growing, Mike quit smoking, we just celebrated his 46th birthday on Friday... Life is good. Now if only I could eat right and exercise...

So i'm 3 months post op, 37 pounds down and now my hair is falling out! wtf?? I take vitamins and get plenty to eat, whats the deal? I already have somewhat thin hair, i can't afford to lose any. This sucks. Has anyone had this? what should I do? I heard to take extra Zinc and I'm going to get back on my protein shakes, but other than that I'm out of ideas. Help!

Just wanted to drop in real quick and say I'm still alive! Things are going good. I've felt much better since the unfill but I'm finding that as each day goes by it seems as though I can eat more and more. Not that I'm pigging out or anything, but for instance, I got a flat bread turkey sandwich from Subway last night. It's like a pita folded like a taco with stuff in the middle. Anyway, I was able to eat the whole thing. It wasn't huge by any means but I'm not used to being able to do that, and it kind of scares me a little. I don't want to fall into bad old habits. I'm going to plan on scheduling another fill in about 2 weeks. By then, it will def be time. I only want to go in .25cc increments though. I've learned my lesson. It doesn't pay to be too tight. Screw that!

Anyhoo, I'm sure I've lost 30 pounds by now, but I haven't weighed myself for a few days. Speaking of weights, my doctors scale weighs like 2 pounds less then mine does, which I love! Because no matter what I weigh at home, I know I really weigh LESS than that! lol!

Exercise is still an issue for me. I suck at it! It's been rainy the past two weeks with highs in the low 60 so that hasn't helped in my motivation much. But this week is supposed to be NICE so I will be out burning some cals. I bought this workout dvd the night before last. It's a country workout. I've never seen a country one so I thought I'd give it a try. It's so funny, when the girl comes out, she's got on a sports bra and a mini jean skirt (the kind that fans out a little) with a giant belt buckle. lol! The majority of the time you're supposed to have your thumbs hooked on your belt in "holster hands" position! lol, it's cute.

Did anyone else get an email from a guy asking if we wanted to join some cause against obesity? He works for Allergan.

Anyhoo, it's about bedtime for me. Don't forget to treat yourself to some at home shopping at my Avon store (www.youravon.com/ashlimarlow) Right now there's a special on our brand new product called Luminocity. It's AWESOME!! It gets rid of age spots, sun spots, acne spots, rosasia, it evens skin tones and brightens skin. It also takes away fine lines. when you buy it now, you'll get a full size container of Anew Eye Lift ($28) for FREE!! I'm using both these products and love them! It's never too early or too late to start a skin care regiman!

Goodnight all!

The doctor and I agreed that 0.25cc was how much he was going to take out. Once he got in there however, he said that the fluid "jumped" into the syringe without having to be sucked out, meaning I was too tight (duh). SO, he decided to go ahead and take out a half cc. I have to tell you, I FEEL GREAT!! I'm so glad to be back to normal!! I came home and ate and didn't have pain, didn't get stuck, it was beautiful!!!

Anyhoo, I've signed up to be an AVON representative. I'm going to share my eStore link with you guys if you'd like to do a little shopping. Right now we have our Glazewear Lip gloss (#1 lip gloss in the country) on sale for just $1.99 (reg. $6) and for every tube you buy you can enter to win a brand new Chevy Malibu!

I'm going to have a half cc taken out I think. I'm not getting enough protein in and I find myself relying on slider foods because good wholesome foods are too hard to eat. Whenever I try to eat something real I get stuck 1 or 2 bites in no matter how good I chew. It's ridiculous. On mother's day we had dinner at my mom's and it took me an hour and a half to eat and that was without eating the meat because I couldn't and I pb'd twice. Awhile after dinner I got some dessert and it took me all of 10 mins to get it down. UGH!! I can eat bad things sooo easy. My thought process on all this was that I knew I was a little too tight, but that I'd probably just lose weight faster and it would loosen up on it's own. NOT! Since I have to eat unhealthy things to even be able to eat, I'm not losing any faster than I was before. So why suffer?? I'm going to have a little unfil and I can't wait to start eating protein again and not get stuck on my first bite.

I found a great snack yesterday. It's a cracker made by WASA and it's light rye. It's made with 100% whole grains and has 3g fiber, zero fat and only 60 calories for 2 big crackers. They're the size of graham crackers so 2 is plenty. I just had them for breakfast with some laughing cow cheese. I was pleasantly surprised it went down nicely and was yummy to boot!

I walked my first 5K today. It was great. Too bad it was so cold (50 F) and windy but at least it was sunny. We finished in 55 mins. I only fell once! LOL! I'm notorious for falling. It's a gift. Can't wait to do another one!

Drinking is not a problem and I can even chug if I want to. As far as eating is concerned, I have to take it VERY slow and be extra careful. I don't really think that I'm too tight (well maybe a tiny smidge) but this is all a new feeling to me. Before this fill, I became full sooner but could still eat somewhat normally. Now I understand why some of you post that you had a HALF a protein bar for breakfast or just ONE egg. I get it now. I think this is how its supposed to be. I believe I'm at my sweet spot (for now). I was experiencing some heartburn for the first few days after the fill but that is gone thank goodness. The day before yesterday begin my TOM and I definitely noticed a difference in the tightness. I went back to being too tight. The only thing I was able to eat all day and KEEP DOWN was m&m's and mashed potatoes. I had WAY too many m&m's and about a half cup of potatoes. The next day I had an Easy Mac bowl and protein shakes. Today has been better. I was able to eat good, except when we went out to for Cinco De Mayo. I ordered a lunch size chimichanga (chicken). It was all juicy an delicious and I took 2 small bites and chewed super good but it wasn't going down well. I had to stop. You get to a point where it just pisses you off. You just want to EAT!! My all day PB fest the other day pissed me off too. I was just angry about it. It wastes my time. I can't do anything or concentrate on anything when I'm in the middle of stuckville. It sucks. I had to go into an important meeting at work that day while being stuck and I pb'd in the car on the way (I guess it was more like sliming, I just hate that word) and before the meeting and I still wasn't clear so I had to talk to these ppl feeling like crap. To make matters worse, my throat was making the occasional sound, like tiny bubbles coming up as my food went down. It was a bad day. But TOM will be over soon and hopefully that will be the end of the issues. If not, I'll go in for a slight unfill, but I really think it will be ok. Being this tight takes the fun out of eating lol! Which I guess is kinda good. I can't mindlessly shove food in my face. I just can't, it won't go! I have to be slow and take my time. However I did find a very yummy treat today and it went down with ease. Chocolate Peanut Butter Bugles. OMG, SOOOOOO gooooood!! But sooooo bad cuz you can't just eat one. Do any of you use your TOM as a pass to eat yummy treats?? I think I'm totally guilty of it, and I need to work on that. I know it's ok to indulge every once in awhile but not three days in a row! I understand what people have said about when you're too tight you'll turn to slider food. Candy really does go down great...booo!! Stupid candy!

Tomorrow I plan on drinking an ass load of water and packing a good nutritious lunch for work, no sweets!!

Well, today I am officially 25 pounds down. I decided to take some pics. So here's me today (right) and me 6 weeks ago (left)

So I just got back from the doctors office, getting my 3rd fill. I had restriction prior, but I could still eat a good amount of food and stuff so when he asked me how much I wanted, I wasn't sure whether I should go with a half cc or a full cc. I asked his opinion and he basically said, "I don't know, it's whatever you want" So we went with the full cc. I'm a little nervous about it. I hope I'm not too tight. You guys will have to tell me what you think. When I take a drink, I feel a little pressure, then an air bubble comes up and I feel better. I burped a few times and the tiniest bits of water came back up with it (hasn't happened for a few hours now) Do you think I'm too tight or is it pretty normal to feel weird like this right after? I'm a worry wart and my doctor flat out told me he won't drive back in to unfill me tonight (not that I would expect him to) But he said I could come back in the morning if I had to. Im at 5.5ccss now. I'm excited that I might be at my sweet spot on so little fluid. We'll see. I'm gonna do all liquids tonight (like I'm supposed to) because I'm scared to even try anything. I don't know why I feel terrified, I've PB'd before but I guess it's just the new level of tightness that I'm not used to and it makes me nervous. I'm sure it'll be just fine.

And a sad, crappy note.. I won't be joining you all in the Chicago trip due to a mandatory class at work I must attend. :(

Can someone tell me about these gadgets that you wear that tell you about calories burned and whatnot. How do they work, DO they work, which would you recommend, how much are they?? TIA!

I've been eating about 1200 calories a day and I'm not really losing much weight. I thought cutting out any more calories would make it worse, but after reading that, I'm thinking that's what I need to do. So starting tomorrow, I think I'm going to cut it back to 1000/day. At least until I get a regular exercise regimen going. We'll see how it goes. I think my next fill is going to be May 5th or May 14th. I haven't decided yet. I'll decide by Monday and give them a call. That should help too. I'm doing much better with this 2nd fill compared to the first one but I think I can still eat more that I should. Like for instance, tonight, Mike brought home a thin crust chicken, spinich and artichoke pizza (We hadn't ate all day, and I hadn't felt good, so we wanted something easy). I was able to eat 2 pieces and probably could have ate 3 if I wanted to, but didn't. When you're at your sweet spot, should you be able to do that?? I'm thinking I just need a 1/2cc or so more. I do have to say I'm getting a lot more used to band life. At first, it seemed that I was somewhat resistant. What I mean is, I didn't want to take the bun off my burgers and the thought of not being able to eat EVERYTHING on my plate, or finish that last bite made me irritable. But now, my brain has finally wrapped around it all and everyday gets easier. It's becoming routine. I'm glad. :)

Right after I got it out of the oven I got really tired and just wanted to go to bed. (without a piece of cake first!) and as soon as I got in bed, I started getting the chills. The, "I can't get warm no matter what", chills. I took my temp and I had a fever. The fever lasted all night long. I woke up today feeling much better. I slept for 14 hours! (Whhaat??) No fever today. I wonder what that was all about? Anybody ever have a random fever for no damn reason?

Well, that "random" fever totally ruined all my plans for the day. I was supposed to do the MS walk, go to the brew fest and go to my friends birthday bbq. Missed it all. :( Anyway, I'm hoping the fever stays away and I can enjoy the next two days I have off. I drank a couple of those airborne tablet things in hopes to ward off any impending sickness.

So I decided to ask my mom to go to Chicago. I thought about it long and hard and I don't believe I'm bringing her so that I can hide behind her. That's just not me. I'm bringing her because she's one of my best friends and I think this trip is going to be so much fun with so many good people that I want to share it with her. I think it will be a great bonding experience and very memorable.

Anyways... Can somebody tell me how to get one of those cool signatures to sign all my posts with? I like the ones that actually look like handwriting. firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641513943797749171.post-76239406182172737102010-04-23T17:26:00.002-05:002010-04-23T17:29:14.167-05:00BYOC! <----I just found out what that stood for lol! I've been so confused!1. Name a career you would NOT want to do and tell why.

I watch Lock Up and I agree with Drazel, working anywhere in a prison would not be something I'd ever want to do. Kudos to your hubby. Also, I'd never want to be a nurses aide. I work closely with many of them and they have to deal with a lot of CRAP, literally. Kudos to them too!

2. What's the best present you ever received for your birthday?

My sweet little pom pom, Mocha!

3. What do you hide behind?

I've never admitted this before, but I hide behind the fact that I have PCOS. Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. I've always blamed my weight on this, my moods on this, my inability to get pregnant on this... In reality, it DOES play a HUGE part in all of these things. BUT, I didn't help the situation by eating the wrong things and not being active enough. I didn't help the situation by letting my hormones ruin my day or letting all of the negative pregnancy test make me feel like a failure. I have to power to change and choose to be happy and make the most of things. I can't let a a 4 letter acronym run my life anymore.

4. Where were you born?

Kansas City, Missouri

5. Which comment affected you the most this week.

Well, I know this may sound stupid, but Drazel commented on my blog asking if I was going to Chicago and that I should totally come. I know we didn't need a personal invitation but it felt good to have someone care if I was there or not. Thanks Draz!

*Isn't it amazing how honest we are in our blogs? It's great that we can all be so open and feel comfortable in doing so. If only in "real life" we could all be so free*

Onto a different note...is anyone bringing anyone with them to Chicago? Like a friend from home? I was thinking of asking my mom to come. We've never had a mother/daughter trip and she's battled with her weight as well. She's super fun!! Would that be weird if she came? I doubt she'll be able to but I'd like to ask. What do you think? Give me honest answers, I don't want to mess anything up.

Our MS walk is tomorrow. I wish we would have known about it sooner so we could have fund raised a little bit. Registration for this thing is so confusing. Not to mention the donation part. It's crazy confusing. I think we're just going to show up tomorrow and say, "we want to walk today, here's our donation, what do we need to fill out" I doubt they'll turn us away. It's supposed to rain. I hope it doesn't.

Anyway, that's all for email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641513943797749171.post-1776902889776992932010-04-23T08:13:00.000-05:002010-04-23T08:13:12.546-05:00Under Construction!Excuse the mess, I'm trying to find a new look for my blog :)firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641513943797749171.post-12597748442160800142010-04-22T21:55:00.000-05:002010-04-22T21:55:25.844-05:00~Chicago~So, I slacked off on blog reading for like a week, and when I came back there's all this Chicago talk. Draz asked if I was going and I started to think about it. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I've always been a bit shy. Now, don't get me wrong, I open up and then there's no stopping me lol! But I've always let that initial shyness/fear hold me back. I think a ton of it has to do with me being overweight my whole life. It started as a kid and has followed me into adulthood. But anyway, I think that this would be a great opportunity to do something out of my comfort zone and just go for it! If not now, WHEN?? So, I think I'm gonna come! I'm totally out of the loop so I'm gonna need to do some reading to get the when, where and what's. It's so easy to get behind in blog land when you miss a few days lol!

OMG, I'm getting email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641513943797749171.post-27003049613181361782010-04-22T02:10:00.000-05:002010-04-22T02:10:58.479-05:00I finally brokemy 261 plateau! I weighed 259 the last two days, bringing my total weightloss to 23.1 lbs. Yay! However, I probably just ruined that tonight. I finished off my day at 1658 calories. Boooooo! What got me was the Dunkin Donuts someone brought in. I tried to resist. I truley did, but then I got tired and bored and I began hearing the call of the beast. "Eaaaaat meeeeee" they called from the breakroom. Nasty little devils. I ended up eating 2. Yes 2! Why couldn't I have stopped at 1? I don't know. So after I ate them, I went to my calorie counter and learned the extent of the damage. 700 Calories for those 2 donuts. Yep, 700. Anyway, all I can do is move on.

Saturday morning, Mike and I will be participating in a walk for MS. We learned that it happens to be starting right across the street from our house. How conveinient. I'm not sure how long it is, but I read on their website that they typically have a short and a long walk. The short is 2-4 miles and the long is 4-6 miles. I don't know which one we'll do, but I'm thinking 4-6 miles is a little much for me at this point. I'm a little disappointed that I won't be getting a t-shirt to remember this walk by but you have to donate $100 to get one. Isn't that crazy? I plan on donating, but not quite $100.

Saturday afternoon, we are going to a beer fest, lol! I've never been to such a thing, but I thought it would be fun. My husband likes weird, dark beers so we're gonna check it out. I guess you pay about $10 to get in, and they give you a cup and you go around sampling all kinds of beers from around the world. Like a wine tasting, but with a little redneck added lol!

So, I'm still struggling to get a structured exercise regiman going but a few days ago Mike and I took the dogs on a 1.5 mile walk around our neighborhood. I got this really cool app on my phone that tracks you via GPS and tells you how far you've gone, how many mins you've walked and how many calories you've burned. It even tracks your path on a google map. It's awesome. Technology these days.

I started to get my summer tan on. Being tan makes me feel thinner, isn't that weird. I guess it just tones down those glaring white fat rolls, lmao! Brown fat rolls are much more soothing :P

That's all for now, I'll try and take some pics of this weekend's festivities. email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641513943797749171.post-42037182802780276152010-04-15T21:25:00.001-05:002010-04-15T21:28:15.188-05:002nd FillHey guys! Well I had my 2nd fill yesterday. There was no student this time but it wasn't any better. The doctor had troubles. OMG it hurt sooooo bad!! Took 4 pokes or so and a lot of prodding. I was so glad when it was over. He gave me 1.5 ccs. So now I have a total of 4.5ccs. All yesterday was liquids/mushies so I was eager to "try out" my fill today. We went to Bob Evans. We decided to share a turkey wrap. I was able to slo0o0ly eat almost my whole half (it was very loosely stuffed). I was satisfied. :) Then, about 3.5 hours later, I was starving. So when we got home from shopping, I heated up some chili I made the other day. I made myself about 1 cup. I got most of it down, but took about 2 bites too much I guess, cuz I was stuck. Blahhhhhh! I pb'd like 5 times. Nothing violent but annoying none the less. The first few times it was actually food, the other times it was just saliva I guess (but thicker, sorry tmi) It's different because I don't actually feel totally FULL before the pressure in my chest starts. I could feel it a little bit when I was eating my turkey wrap but I knew I didn't feel FULL yet. I just wasn't hungry anymore. I started to feel a little chest pressure so I took that as time to stop. I guess I've always ate till my stomach felt like it was gonna pop and that's just not whats supposed to happen anymore. Anyway, this is definitely a learning process. I know now that when I feel a little chest pressure, better stop. Something else I've noticed with this fill is that when I eat, it seems like with every bite, little air bubbles come up. Like, food goes down, air comes up. Weird. But I'm happy. I actually feel like I might get somewhere with this fill. It's exciting.

Anyway, Mike and I went on a big shopping spree today. The fan in our bedroom died so we had to buy a new one. We've been wanting a fan in our livingroom for awhile, so we bought one for it too. We're currently trying to put it up...but of coarse, we're running into problems. Mike's off to the hardware store for the second time already. We also bought a carpet cleaner (dogs can be so messy), took us 3 different Wal-Marts to find the right one. Then we bought paint to do our bathroom, along with the rugs and towels. We own a 100 year old farm house and completely remodeled it (basically built a new house within a old house, not a fun project, never will do that again!). We still have lots to do, and painting is a big one on the list. If I had the energy, I'd load some house before and after pics for you, but I don't. Some other time. I picked a seafoam blue color. The original one I liked wouldn't work for the type of paint Mike wanted. So I had to compromise with one close, but a little lighter. Hope it doesn't look stupid. We had to buy this special paint with no VOC's (I don't know what that is) but they're bad for you. I guess paint can leak chemicals into your house for up to 6 years and Mike wants a "healthy house". So alright then, healthy paint it is. I saw this commercial for this painter's tape called Frogger. It's supposed to be awesome and make super crisp lines (no bleeding). Cost me $8 for one roll! CrAzY! So that will be on the list of things to do tomorrow. Mike has to work tomorrow night so it'll be a good project for me to do. Well, I've rambled long enough.

How many calories do you aim to comsume on a daily basis? I've used those calculators online but it tells me I should eat at least 2080 (based on my current weight/age/height) for "extreme weight loss". Does that sound right? It sounds like a lot if you're wanting to loose weight. I also read that consuming less than 1500 is not good for you. I've been aiming for 1200 but now I'm thinking I should up it a little bit. What do you guys think?? I'm not really loosing much as of right now. I've been getting 1200-1500 cals a day which is way less than pre band but I've just been juggling the same 4 pounds since surgery. I'm between 265 and 261. So, since surgery, almost a month ago, I've only lost between 3-7 pounds. I'm not frustrated YET. I'm excited for my fill on Wednesday! So tell me your daily calorie goal..email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641513943797749171.post-12037968031858828622010-04-09T23:24:00.000-05:002010-04-09T23:24:47.283-05:00Random Picture Day!Hello all! I don't really have anything important to say really, but thought I'd drop a line. I haven't exercised in the past few days cuz I'm LAME! I have been keeping track of my food intake so that's a plus. I work all this weekend so I won't have time for much over the next three days. I work 3 12's in a row so once I get off work and get home I have about 8 hours till I have to get up and do it all over again. Next week I have off Monday, Tuesday and then have a four day weekend! Woohoo! I get my fill Wednesday. I'm excited about that. My port burning sensation or PBS as I like to call it (lol jk) has improved. Haven't felt the burn since Tuesday. YAY!

So, since I bored you with the last paragraph, I thought I'd entertain you with some random pictures!!

This is my house

Another spring storm rollin in

Look how they've grown in just a few weeks!

Playing with a few chicks yesterday. Not a good idea to let them on our carpet, the two of them pooped 2 times each in the 5 mins we had them in the livingroom. Little shits!!

Me and my BFF "working hard"

My awesome new water bottle! That little spout, is a straw! Luv it!

Monday, Mike and I went to the gym. I did 25 mins on the eliptical and then we walked a few laps around the little gym track. We then went swimming for a bit and topped it off with a little hot tubbing.

I've been tracking my food with an app on my phone. I have Android technology on my cell phone and the app is called Calorie Counter. It's pretty cool. It even has a barcode scanner, where I can scan the barcode of the food I'm eating and it will input it right into my food diary. Very handy. I also have an iTouch and I used to use the app called Tap n Track. I like that one better but it doesn't have the bar code scanner.

Today, I did tons of house work and then did 20 mins on my treadmill. Mike started P90X today. It kicked his butt. I want to do some of the workouts with him. Maybe tomorrow. Mike's blog <----here's a link to his blog. Check it out! He needs some blog buddies too!

I weighed in today, I'm down 20 pounds! :-) My 2nd fill is scheduled for next Wednesday (4/14/10).

The weather has been pretty stormy lately. Spring is coming in like a lion, but hey, at least it's comin in!!

Does anybody take frozen dinners to work for your lunch?? I do. I recently discovered Kashi's frozen dinners. They are a little more pricey than the Smart Ones I usually get, but they are totally worth it. Each entray has almost 20 grams of protein. 20 grams!! Also, they're packed with fiber and whole grains. Sounds like the perfect bandster food to me! I'm currently enjoying

Ok so that came out huge, but I don't have the energy to fix it. Well, better get back to work. 6 hours left, then it's 2 more days off with the hubs. firstname.lastname@example.com

Restaurants looking to move into La Cañada Flintridge may be required to provide parking spaces based on the size of their operations, rather than a set number.
Currently, eating and drinking establishments outside of the Foothill Boulevard area have at least 12 parking spaces. The rule is the same for all restaurants, from small fast-food joints to roomy sit-down restaurants. Planning officials don't think it makes sense.
"So, even if it's a little hole in the wall, it has to have 12 spaces," said Fred Buss, the city's Senior Planner, "and that's generally prohibitive in terms of trying to find a space in the city for a restaurant."
Members of the Planning Commission discussed a proposal Tuesday night to amend the law so restaurants would be required to provide 10 spaces per 1,000-square-feet of dining space. The proposed changes also reduce the parking requirement for commercial spaces from five spaces to four spaces per 1,000-square-feet.

The Fallacy of Being in the Process
Previous e-church recordings on YouTube:
Are you living on a promise of something in the future, or are you living on the premise that all is done in Christ. As a believer, you are already blessed and living in the Spirit. Abundance is all around and there is no lack. The truth will make you free.
Righteous., spotless, perfect and complete are not just legal terms in God's heavenly courtroom. If anyone is in Christ he is made new. The terms are not legalities. They are descriptions of who you really are. When the Christian finally knows this, absolute Love and godliness become as automatic as breathing.
Take heed what you hear. Both Judas and Peter made horrible mistakes. One went to the legalists and left hopeless. One went to the place where Jesus was revealed. Blessed are those who hear the joyful sound!
Ephesians 5 speaks of Christ and us in a marriage. He is the Spirit in us, and He is the husband. We (our souls, or minds) are the bride. When they disagree, it is like a marriage in disarray. Heaven on Earth is the unity of our mind and Spirit.

|Steptoe & son was a popular British comedy about the original rag trade.
"Make Good Use of Bad Rubbish."Having just returned to the area after a long break away, I have just had the pleasure of having the peace disturbed by today's incarnation. A man and his daughter in a modern pick up truck, clanging his bell for attention. I found myself wanting to give him something for old time's sake, but due to my recent move I find myself with a dearth of the things I actually need, not a glut of things I do not.
Quaint and reassuring in a strange way, but I wonder how indicative of the times it all is. What with onerous recycling programs and financial austerity not seen here since the last time I witnessed such a phenomenon in the 1970's.

Delivering to:
It should arrive:
16.39% of people buy Lulla Doll – Baby and Child Sleep Companion and Baby Shusher.
Lulla's unique patent pending design was inspired by research on
kangaroo care, the effects of heartbeat and breathing sounds, and the effects
that smell, sight and touch have on babies and small children.
The Lulla Doll imitates closeness of a caregiver at rest with its soothing sounds of real heartbeat & breathing and soft touch. Lulla's unique design is based on scientific research that shows how closeness improves sleep, wellbeing and safety.
The aim of Lulla Doll is to help babies:
Lulla Doll Features:
Hear – When the chest is pressed, Lulla plays a real-life recording of the breathing and heartbeat of a mother at rest. Her name is Gudrun, she is a dear friend, a mother of four and a Kundalini yoga teacher.
Look – Babies prefer to look at something that resembles a human face. The colors of the doll were chosen for the purpose of making the doll unisex and unirace.
Touch – The outer layer is made from soft natural cotton. The filling is made from ultra-fine microfiber that is hypoallergenic.
Smell – The fabric of the doll can absorb smell from parents if they first keep it close to their skin before giving it to their child for extra feeling of security.
Clean & Safe– The doll is machine washable in warm water making it safer for small babies with underdeveloped immune and respiratory systems.
