Davey: Energy bills only raised in the public interest
Energy Secretary Ed Davey said he does not want to add "a single penny" to energy bills that isn't in the public interest.
Speaking at the Fair Energy Summit in London, Mr Davey said, "I'm quite frankly fed up with commentators suggesting the Government are deliberately increasing energy bills, when in fact we are doing everything we can to reduce them".
"The bulk of the cost we add to bills is for supporting low carbon technologies and energy efficiency ... I make no apology for ensuring that we meet our legally-binding carbon targets and renewable energy targets", he added.

5 Reasons the Right Is Terrified of Occupy Wall St.
Continued from previous page
The Occupy Wall Street movement has begun to inspire people all over America. That's because people are inspired by example. They themselves are inspired if they see others standing up for themselves -- speaking truth to power -- standing up in the face of strong, entrenched opposition. People are inspired by heroic acts -- by commitment -- by people who say they are so committed that they will stay in a park next to Wall Street until they make change. That's what happened in Egypt and Tunisia. That's what happened in Wisconsin this spring.
The legacy of the Occupy Wall Street movement could very well be the re-inspiration of tens of thousands of Progressives -- and the engagement of young people that are so important to the future of the progressive movement in America.
Right-wingers will plant provocateurs in an attempt to stigmatize the Occupy Wall Street movement with violence -- to make it look frightening. But if the Movement continues with the kind of single-minded purpose and commitment that we have seen so far, the Occupy Wall Street movement may very well make history. It has already become an enormous progressive asset as America approaches the critical crossroad election that could determine whether the next American generation experiences the American Dream or simply reads about it in their history books.
Robert Creamer is a long-time political organizer and strategist, and author of the book: Stand Up Straight: How Progressives Can Win, available on Amazon.com. He is a partner in Democracy Partners and a Senior Strategist for Americans United for Change.

Well, I always choose the fire starter, so she got the grass starter. It just seems fitting, me thinks.
Something I've noticed is that Nintendo's designs for their main characters in the Pokemon games have become more "suggestive" recently. Arousing, but in very subtle ways. Just enough to get people (mostly males, of course) hooked.
What with Misty's lack of clothing, to May's large chesticles, Dawn's leggy-ness and deceptively short skirt, Hilda's booty shorts, and even Bel's wide hips.

China Drafts Nation's First Animal Protection Law
BEIJING, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW - www.ifaw.org) applauds China for drafting the country's first animal welfare legislation, which would make animal abuse and cruelty a punishable offence. A draft of the Animal Protection Law which outlines the basic standards for treating all animals in different situations is published online for public comment, from a legal conference in Beijing, China.
Recently, several Chinese cities have forged ahead with dog culls citing concerns of rabies, leaving tens of thousands of dogs brutally killed. Such slaughter would be stemmed should this law be passed.
In addition to releasing the draft animal protection law, changes regarding China's Criminal Law were also suggested, making animal abuse a punishable offence.
Millions of animals suffer horribly every year from cruelty in zoos and parks, on farms, markets and the streets, in laboratories and during the process of transport and slaughter. Often ignorant about how animals can feel pain, people treat animals only as a "resource" and do the cruelest things to them. Foxes are skinned alive for their fur. Bears have open wounds in their bodies to extract their bile. Tigers, with their teeth and claws pulled out, are chained to the ground for picture-taking with tourists. Cats are boiled alive before they are eaten. Dogs are clubbed and stoned to death in the name of "rabies prevention and population control."
"This is a very significant step for China, not only for the millions of animals that suffer from abuse and cruelty, but also for the country's image as it drives for social progress and harmony." Said Grace Ge Gabriel, IFAW's Asia Regional Director, "The cruel treatment of animals not only results in the suffering of the animals, but also in the degradation of society. Imagine what it does to children to witness these brutal acts, and to grow up thinking that it is appropriate to treat another living creature this way."
The need to have legislation banning the cruel treatment of animals is increasingly felt by Chinese people. Recently, after the cruel killing of over 40,000 dogs in Hanzhong, an online poll of 63,000 people found that 89% support the drafting of anti cruelty legislation.
The draft law outlines guidelines for disease prevention and medical care for animals. It covers wildlife, farm animals, companion animals, lab animals and work animals, and stipulates welfare requirements for animals in transport and slaughter.
The draft is developed by an expert team of researchers led by Professor Chang Jiwen at China's Academy of Social Sciences, supported by animal welfare groups such as IFAW. After the public comment period, the draft law will be proposed to the National People's Congress, the legislative body of China.
About IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare)
As one of the world's leading animal welfare organization, IFAW works from its global headquarters in the United States and 14 country offices to improve the welfare of wild and domestic animals by reducing the commercial exploitation of animals, protecting wildlife habitats, and assisting animals in distress. With projects in more than 40 countries, IFAW works both on the ground and in the halls of government to safeguard wild and domestic animals and seeks to motivate the public to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both animals and people.

"My hope is to give people who are interested some entrée into further reading, and also to credit the antecedents to my own thinking. Perhaps most importantly, I wish to return to one of the original features of blogging—the documentation of public thinking. I would suggest that more writers, more academics, and more journalists do this, and do so honestly. It have come to believe that arguing with the self is as important as arguing with the broader world."
– This is really cool - Ta-Nehisi Coates is doing a "narrative bibliography" of his reparations piece in four parts. Really fascinating and I think the above is a fantastic recommendation.
My HTDW review.
I'm sitting in my backyard on a beautiful day. Earlier I had brunch with my father who happens to be visiting from California and his college friends. Afterwards, my boyfriend and I walked through Central Park. We lay on the grass and I thought about us and all the people in the city and in the world and how small we all were, how small my little life is in comparison to the vastness of space, time, the universe. Then I got a text from my mom telling me my grandma had two more mini-strokes and might never remember who I am again.
Now I'm sitting here with this stray cat as my neighbor plays pop punk and Katy Perry out her window. I should be working on an essay, and I just found out I'm writing another piece for a big deal publication.
The neighbor started playing The Dodos. I remember when I drove down to San Francisco to see them at Amoeba. The cat is stalking something in the grass.
How strange it is, etc.
I thought this one turned out pretty well.
My Robyn/Royksopp review in this month's Rolling Stone!
"So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten."
If I try, I can envision a series of innumerable mornings, stretching towards my future and into the past, all the same. Sitting alone in a quiet room as the light of dawn creeps in, drinking tea, listening to this song. All these mornings, the same. Awake at the wrong time, as if my bed was a time machine. This is what I do after all else has failed. Insomnia may be the only truly solitary experience I have left.
tUnE-yArDs Has Become Too Quirky for Her Own Good
From the second the out-of-place organ hits in the first few seconds of Nikki Nack's opener "Find A New Way," I knew something was wrong with the new tUnE-yArDs album. As I listened through, there were a few moments of pure brilliance, but more often, there were words and arrangements that made me cringe. As much as I hate to admit it, it's inescapable: tUnE-yArds has become what her critics always accused her of. She's become too quirky for her own good.
Critics like Chuck Klosterman (i.e. white, 30-something, "serious" straight dudes), who wrote a condescending, sexist essay about her in 2012, have always been assholes about tUnE-yArDs and her quirky streak. Despite their disapproval and anger over her alternating capitalization, Merril Garbus, who is tUnE-yArDs, has always been smart enough to understand the potential turn offs of her art, and to not care. Her music is about disarming those who are afraid of unmasked emotion and vulnerability. Her music, and its subjects, is also distinctly feminine, and many of the people who have written negatively about her lack of seriousness or overuse of emotion have denigrated her in a gendered fashion. But she has succeeded despite them, garnering mostly rave reviews and wowing increasingly larger audiences around the world. Garbus, with her willingness to not take herself too seriously while displaying her serious talent both live and recorded, was the perfect foil for the indie rock establishment.
For these reasons, I've always stood up for tUnE-yArds in the face of people who tried to make her into a joke. That is, until now.
I wrote this.

A Glow Run is coming to Quincy on August 8, but wait, what is a Glow Run?
It was August 6, 1945 and the United States was involved with World War Two on two fronts, in Europe and also in the South Pacific. Supplies were waning with fighting going on in two different parts of the world at the same time
This year's 2014 Veteran's Day Parade in Quincy will be held on Saturday, November 8. The Veteran's Parade Committee, led by Chairman Dick McKinney, works all year long on organizing this wonderful event. One of the toughest things to secure for an event like this is a "flyover" of a military aircraft.
Mr. Taxi, a new taxi service, is now operating in Quincy. Mr. taxi becomes the second taxi service company in Quincy, and will compete with Diamond Cab (222-6820) and Mark Twain Taxi in Hannibal (573-248-4242).
Get ready for some fun, because the K of C Barbecue is this week on South 36th street! Here are just some of the happenings going on:
Some 1510 fans turned out to watch the Quincy Gems defeat the Terre Haute Rex last night at Q.U. Stadium. Could they have been watching the final game ever for the Quincy Gems?
It funny when people walk into my office and look around. I have pictures on every wall and people usually stop and ask who is this person or who is that person? One set of pictures always gets asked about.
Back on July 17 I had the honor of being invited to attend St. Louis Cardinal Broadcaster Mike Shannon's 75th birthday party. The event was held at Shannon's Restaurant in downtown St. Louis. Upon arrival, there was a huge birthday card for all to sign next to the steps leading up to the restaurant. On the other side was a Budweiser Clydesdale. For a fleeting moment I actually felt "small."
The 2nd annual Quincy Museum Night Golf event will be held on August 9 at Westview Golf Course.
The days of "Summer Vacation" are winding down for school children in the area and with it comes the need for purchasing school supplies for the upcoming school year. The cost of these supplies are continuing to go up like everything else. With that in mind, the "Stuff the Bus" campaign will be held this Friday and Saturday.

Ship owner gets more than he bargained for: prison time
The Legislature is considering legislation that aims to prevent old vessels from turning into costly environmental problems.
Seattle Times staff reporter
When Bret A. Simpson heard the hulking old barge Davy Crockett was for sale several years ago, "he saw the steel and he saw dollar signs," said assistant U.S. Attorney Jim Oesterle.
Simpson, of Ellensburg, figured he could scrap the 400-foot former Navy ship and walk off with a tidy sum.
"He probably regrets that decision," Oesterle said. Because in the midst of his ragtag scrapping operation, the Davy Crockett began spilling oil into the Columbia River.
On Monday, Simpson was sentenced to four months in federal prison plus a period of home detention, community service and supervised release for violations of the Clean Water Act. The mess cost $22 million in federal funds to clean up.
It was the first time in Washington that a boat owner was sent to federal prison in such a case.
But Simpson is by no means unique as a boat owner. Hundreds of derelict or abandoned vessels sit on Washington's waterways, in constant danger of drifting or sinking. When that happens, the state Derelict Vessel Removal Program is forced to step in, sometimes at a cost of millions of dollars. There is now broad agreement the state has neither the money nor the authority to truly address the problem.
Some of that may change. Both the House and the Senate are considering legislation this week that aims to prevent old vessels from turning into costly environmental problems in the first place.
"The bill changes the focus of the Derelict Vessel Removal Program to prevention over cleanup," said Rep. Drew Hansen, D-Bainbridge, sponsor of the House bill.
Among the provisions under consideration in both bills are some aimed at making boat owners register their vessels as required.
This would make it easier to track down the owners of problem vessels — a huge, and sometimes insurmountable hurdle in these cases. The legislation would create civil penalties for those who fail to register.
Also proposed is a pilot vessel turn-in program where an owner can give the state custody of a vessel before it's a real problem.
A third provision would require owners of older, larger vessels to obtain an inspection before selling. This, said Melissa Ferris, who runs the state Derelict Vessel Removal Program, might dissuade some people from buying problem vessels when they don't have the means to repair them.
Ferris recalled one recent case in which a young man bought a trimaran for $100. Only later did he realize "no marina was going to give him moorage because it was rotten and horrible looking and had no mast," Ferris said.
It ran aground in a storm one weekend, and the state is billing the man for the cost of removal, more than $20,000.
"Talk about a game-changer for your life," she said.
Boat sellers who fail to get the required inspection could be held liable for some of these cleanup costs, under the legislation.
"We're trying to hinder some of these transactions that just happen in a bar somewhere," Ferris said. "Is it the end-all be-all? No, but it's a step in the right direction."
Another provision would prohibit public agencies from selling a vessel that isn't truly seaworthy. The agency would either have to repair it before the sale or dismantle it.
That was at the root of the problem with the Deep Sea. The Port of Seattle sold the 140-foot former fishing vessel to a scrap dealer who didn't really have a good plan for it. The scrap dealer, a Maple Valley man with a long history of troublemaking, parked it in Penn Cove and left it. It caught fire and sank last spring, and cost $5.4 million to clean up.
Another provision under consideration would allow the Department of Ecology to board troubled vessels and check for pollution threats.
With little to no opposition to the House and Senate bills, some version of the legislation is expected to pass.

The Pelé versus Cristiano Ronaldo discussion about who's the greatest has two new Onboard Lounges to spill into after Emirates received a double A380 delivery over the Dubai weekend.
Emirates' 46th and 47th A380 aircraft arrived in Dubai in the early hours of Friday, the same day the airline released its new digital campaign featuring a light-hearted moment between Pelé and Ronaldo in the Onboard Lounge of an Emirates' A380. Click here to see the video. Both players are now Global Ambassadors for Emirates, an Official FIFA Worldwide Partner, with the announcement that Cristiano Ronaldo was joining the airline's ambassadorial ranks made at a press conference in Madrid on Friday.
The two new A380s – coded EEU and EET – are already in active service, having completed their first flights on Emirates' Bangkok and Melbourne routes respectively.
Six years after Emirates introduced its first A380 into service, the airline's A380 onboard experience has firmly established itself as the benchmark as reflected in its tremendous popularity with travellers. The A380 Onboard Lounge in particular, continues to be talked about around the world. Available to First and Business Class passengers travelling on the upper deck of the aircraft, the A380 Onboard Lounge provides a relaxed social environment to exchange travel tales and talk business over a drink at 43,000 feet.
Emirates currently operates four weekly flights from Dubai to Larnaka using a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. From 1st August the airline will add three more flights a week and will be operating a daily scheduled flight between Dubai and Cyprus and onwards to Malta.

Play Deep-Sea Dress-Up
If you can put lipstick on a pig, can you put it on a fish?
The answer is yes, and you can do it for a good cause. The Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, of which Oceana is a member, is asking people to create funny pictures of fish and send them to the UN Secretary General to get his attention about the need to protect deep-sea species – even if they aren't cute or cuddly.
As many as 10 million species may inhabit the deep sea, but bottom trawling and other destructive fishing practices are destroying some of the planet's most diverse frontiers. High seas fishing nations have failed to implement UN resolutions to protect deep-sea life from destructive fishing, though they were supposed to comply within two years and five years have passed.
I created the fabulous fish you see here, you should make one too, and spread the word!

"Total waste of time"
From the Edge of the Cliff: Understanding the Two Phases of Recovery and Becoming the Person You're Meant to Be provides addicts with practical lessons on how to understand and successfully navigate the two phases of recovery from drug and/or alcohol addiction. However, it is also a remarkably touching, real-life story of someone who has used these same lessons to maintain 28 years of successful recovery. This audiobook contains an entire section on the hazards of drugs prescribed by physicians not well versed in addiction recovery.
Subjects include being a person of influence, values beyond validation, and life choices and balance.
Emmy Award winner Rita Coburn Whack's writing has been favorably compared to the work of Maya Angelou. In Meant to Be, Whack tells the story of a wise young woman named Patience who is about to embark upon a journey of the soul. When a traumatic incident causes Patience to lose sight of God's path, she must find a way to regain her spirituality and cross the bridge into womanhood. With a heartfelt dual narration, listeners will savor this tale of reflection and spiritual awakening.
We frantically started to run toward the road... All the guys were the first ones to make it to the car. I purposely stayed behind, keeping an eye on the ladies, particularly the one that was pregnant. She had looked tired most of the day and understandably so. It couldn't have been more than three hundred feet to get to the car. The only ones left to make it were her and me, and everyone else yelled out to me, 'Just leave her there or you're staying there too!' I just couldn't do it.

Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, is an expert in fatherhood - in part because his own 'fathers' failed him so badly. His biological dad was an alcoholic. His stepfather deserted him. His foster father accused Jim of trying to kill him. All were out of Jim's life by the time he turned 13. Isn't it odd - and reminiscent of the hand of God - that the director of the leading organization on family turned out to be a guy whose own background as a kid and son were pretty messed up?

The decline of congressional oversight, in one chart
The number of hearings held in the House and Senate has been steeply declining since the 96th Congress (1979-1980), according to a Brookings analysis cited in a recent report by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). There was a slight increase in House hearings from 2005-2007, but the total number of hearings are about two-thirds of what they were in the early 1980s. The number of hearings in the Senate has gone down by half since then. And they continued to decline in the 111th Congress (2009-2011), which held 318 fewer committee hearings than the previous one, the report points out.
Coburn laments this trend as another sign that government oversight has declined. "Committee hearings are not the only means of conducting oversight, but they are a prominent tool. Hearings give lawmakers the opportunity to unearth valuable information about federal programs and to question agency officials about the effectiveness of their management of those programs," his report argues. Bruce Barlett points out that there was a particularly steep decline in House hearings during Newt Gingrich's tenure as Speaker.

Softball sweeps East Tennessee State, 2-1 & 6-2
Related Links
The JU softball team inched closer to a berth in the Atlantic Sun Tournament after the Dolphins swept East Tennessee State, 2-1 & 6-2, to close out the conference schedule on Saturday afternoon in Johnson City, Tenn.
The Dolphins (23-29, 7-13 A-Sun) earned the game one win on timely RBI hits from sophomore Katie Kelly and freshman Amanda Schmidt, while freshman Sarah Sigrest pitched out of jam in the seventh to secure the victory.
Junior Ashley Mora had a two out, three-run homer to put the Dolphins ahead in game two. Junior Kelly McKeon also had a two-run single and junior Ashley Iveson kept the Lady Buccaneers (24-21, 5-11) off balance at the plate to get the win.
With the win, the Dolphins sweep the Lady Buccaneers for the second year in row and put themselves in position of the fourth or fifth seed in the conference tournament if the season ended today.
The Dolphins currently have bye during the final week of the league-wide conference schedule. ETSU, Stetson and Belmont sit behind JU in the standings with six games left to play.
"We were very resilient today," said JU head coach Amanda Lehotak. "I was proud of the way we put yesterday behind us and was able to get two big wins. We made some big plays on defense and pitching to put us in a position to win. I was glad we played all facets on the game well today
"Overall, I'm really proud of the way our team has battled all season. Hopefully, the wins today put us in position of getting a conference tournament berth so we can keep on playing."
Sigrest (12-15) earned the game one win after allowing a run on eight hits and a striking out one in seven innings. Iveson (9-10) surrendered two runs on seven hits and three strikeouts in seven innings to get the game two victory.
ETSU starter Marissa Hardy (14-12) was tagged with both losses in the doubleheader. She surrendered two runs on four hits and five strikeouts in seven innings in game one and allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits in 4.2 innings in game two. Angie Boyd gave up two runs on four hits in 2.1 innings to close out the second game.
Offensively, Kelly finished 4-for-5 with an RBI in two games to pace the Dolphins, while senior Alexis Novak had a pair of doubles in game two.
In game one, the Lady Buccaneers took a 1-0 advantage in the fifth on a throwing error by junior catcher Simone Bruemmer. Katy Jett led off the inning with a single to center and stole second in the next at-bat. After a pop out by Trisha Massenzo, Jett scored when Breummer's throw on her stolen base attempt at third went into left field.
The Dolphins battled back with RBI hits from Kelly and Schmidt to gain a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning. McKeon had a pinch hit leadoff single to left center field to break up Hardy's no-hitter. Junior Amber Moseley moved McKeon to third with a single to right field. After McKeon was forced out at third on a fielder's choice, Kelly plated Moseley with a single to left field. With two outs, Schmidt put the Dolphins ahead on a ground ball single through the left side to score Kelly.
Down to their last out in the seventh inning, Cheniece Cason hit a single to right field to keep the game alive for the Lady Buccaneers. Vicki McCoy followed with an infield single, while Jett was intentionally walked to load the bases. Sigrest got Massenzo to ground out back to her to end the game.
In game two, Massenzo gave the Lady Buccaneers a 1-0 lead with an RBI single in the second inning to plate Amy Campbell.
The Dolphins plated four runs with two outs in the fifth inning to take a 4-1 advantage. Sophomore Kat Engler legged out an infield single to second base for JU. After stealing second, Kelly advanced Engler to third on a single up the middle. Mora followed homer over the center field fence to give the Dolphins a 3-1 lead. Novak followed with a double to the left field fence and scored on the next at-bat from an error to cap off the inning.
In the sixth inning, Cason led off with a single for the Lady Buccaneers. Cason stole second and then moved to third on McCoy's bunt single. In the next at-bat, Cason was picked off at home by Iveson after McCoy stole second. Jett reached on an infield single that moved McCoy to third. The Lady Buccaneers pulled off double steal to get a run, but Iveson retired the next two batters to quash the rally.
The Dolphins got some insurance runs in the seventh inning with a two run, two-out single by McKeon to plate Mora and Schmidt for 6-2 lead.
Iveson pitched a scoreless seventh to secure the doubleheader sweep.
The Dolphins are off for finals next week and will return to action on Wednesday, April 29 for a single game against Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach, Fla. The game was originally scheduled for April 14, but was postponed due to rain. First pitch is still set for 4 p.m.

Fit Food: The Benefits of Sweet Potatoes
Whether you want to bulk up or lose weight, working this fiber-rich vegetable into your diet will help you reach your fitness goals. Here, six easy recipes.
1. Sweet Potato Chips
Why buy a bag of gross, greasy snack foodwhen you can make these nutrient-packed chips at home? To get started, turn your oven to 375 degrees. While it warms, nuke a couple of medium peeled sweet potatoes for a minute. Cut the warm spuds into very thin slices. "Then toss them with fresh diced herbs—rosemary or thyme is perfect—plus a bit of oil," says Lyniece North Talmadge, author of The Sweet Potato Lover's Cookbook. Bake them in single layer on a nonstick baking sheet for 30 to 45 minutes, or until crispy. For more flavor, use salt and pepper or a bit of balsamic vinegar.

my challenge was to have 1 or 2 small snacks after work
how i am doing day by day
i am still struggling but doing better. last night i came home from work literally starving. i stood and thought about what i wanted. i even opened a container of yogurt and said, no i dont really want that. i went with my old standy-peanut butter and jelly sandwich. but instead of scooping out a ton of peanut butter, i measured a tbs. man, i gotta tell you, i was going way over that before,. no wonder i couldnt lose weight. peanut butter really can quench my appetite.
so i felt the need to munch a lttle more after that and i had a cup of dry cheerios.
this is a huge step for me. i would still like to cut back tho. i have def made huge strides compared to a few weeks ago.
what can i improve on
i am doing well, but i need to keep tv off and occupy myself with book, crossword puzzle or something that requires my mind. that way i will keep it occupied and not be thinking mindlessly about food.
i also need to go to bed earlier. right now it is around 2 am. i would like to go around 12:30 or 1 so i can wake up earlier.
my spark challenge is to eat every 3-4 hrs. and record how i liked it.
i normally do this all the time. i just get too hungry if i wait longer. what i am finding that is working for me is to much on carrots, celery, cup up apple, or grapes. i work afternoons. i take a combination with me to work in a baggie. between 2:30 and 6:30, i munch on them and it is working out quite nicely,
what i need to do, and i will chanllenge myself to do this, is to follow the same routine on my days off. usually my day off is a disaster. going out to eat and munching on all kinds of things.
so this `is my challenge to follow this same tactic on my days off
these are some things i do when i want to encourage myself, which seems to happen every weekend.
i get on spark and read blogs
i comment on other peoples blogs.
read spark articles
read quotes and ideas on spark website
play with my cute little dog
look at an excercise or fitness magazine
read bible or uplifting book-- like a joyce meyer book
listen to uplifting songs- like spark people workout mixes
notice a common them here: they all involve spark people webiste
well today, i have done nothing. no excercise, not a good day of eating, but i am paying for it now. i am just having a lot of stomache problems and feel yucky. but i am not giving up. this is a journey and i will have days like this.
so in general, what am i doing to encourage myself?
i did not buy any granola bars or low fat ice cream to snack on after work. instead, i will sop at speedway or sheetz. they have healthy snacks and i will buy 1 serving so that way i will not go crazy eating too much somewhat healthy stuff.
the peanut butter is still here, which is my weekness. my husband said he would hide it, but i am trying to just restarin myself and be strong.
i am looking at the big picture and how i want to look and feel. i started the beck diet solution book. i downloaded an app on my phone for flashcards. this is step one of the book. it is to make flashcards for the reasons you want to lose weight. i am still at the beginning of the book, but we will see how it plays out.
good luck to all my spark friends.
this week challenge is blogging.
what new habit do i want to develop?
i really would like to get into a habit of just having 1 or 2 small snacks after work. i usually go crazy and consume about 400 calories after work. this is really sabatoging my effort at losing weight.
most of the time, my calories are ok but i dont want to consume that much before bed. even if you consume 400 calories of healthy food ( which i do plenty of times) , it is still calories
how will i go about this?
i will have to do a lot of pre planning. i have to keep peanut butter out of my sight. this is a big weakness, but my husband insisits we have to have some in the house.
i must think about what i want to eat before i eat. it has to be some kind of comfort food llike a granola bar or pudding.
maybe i could try blogging or doing crosswood puzzles or reading.
this will require a lot of effort but i can do it.

Guest Designer, Callie!
I've got a sweet card to share with you from our dear friend, Callie today!
But first - I asked Callie What Inspires Her and When her mojo is lacking, how does she jumpstart it? Here's her answer:
Country nitch is what I would call my style. I'm inspired just by the things around me. I'll see a bird, or something in the field and I'm inspired to create. My kids are a huge inspiration to me. When I'm lacking mojo I like to grab a big steaming cup of joe and blog hop through some of my favorite ladies... looking for something to CASE and get me going.
Here's a wonderfully embossed card that she created just for you
Thanks for sharing, Callie! I really love the colors and embossing on this card!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
