A recent Forbes article by Andrew Dailey at MGi Research reinforces the importance of "agile billing" to businesses that are serious about creating new revenue streams, meeting customers' needs and doing it fast and well.
The term agile is a good description of what businesses need from their billing systems in order to meet these challenges. At MetraTech, we've been an agile billing solution from day one with our "metadata-based" approach, which is what makes MetraNet flexible and responsive as well as business model and industry agnostic. So "agile" is a good description of how the system should perform and "metadata" is how the billing system actually delivers the agility. Metadata enables you to configure your data model, transaction processing, and user interface through web services compliant APIs and, as a result, enables the billing system to conform to your business model and existing systems. No need to compromise, you can simply innovate.
Recently we have seen (and commented on) an upsurge of breathless comment on the age-old concept of subscription billing, as if subscriptions were a new idea. Of course, any services company that relies on subscription pricing models only (or even mostly) is likely to be ill-prepared for the future as described by Andrew that includes cloud mashups, digital services and Internet of Things. A subscription-heavy service model is not an agile service model. So it was amusing to see that upon the Forbes article being published, one billing vendor put out a press release commending Forbes for their keen observation that the world needed agile billing and that as the inventor of cloud billing (maybe they've been taking pointers from Al Gore, the inventor of the Internet and from the inventor of subscription billing), the world was ready for their type of agile billing.
So you have to ask yourself, if it takes metadata to be agile and flex and change to capture new revenue streams, be responsive to customers, change business models, roll out services in weeks not months, and give customers freedom to run their business the way they want, how do other billing systems fare on the agility front? The answer is not so well. Most billing and for that matter ERP systems expect a customer to flex and be agile in fitting their business model into what the systems can and can't provide.
In contrast, the agile business constantly takes into account all pricing and charging options from subscriptions to one off purchases to usage and consumption models, unconstrained by the limitations of the billing system they use. The first time your IT department tells the product or sales team, "Nice idea, but the billing system can't do it that way ..." then you know that you don't have an agile billing system, you have a service innovation blocker: It blocks the way to creativity, change, customer satisfaction, and profits. And it allows IT to keep saying 'no.' Too bad, you just have to stick with what we can make work.
Although we know that MetraNet was one of the first systems to see action in the field of cloud billing, we don't actually claim to have invented cloud billing. It is a fundamental characteristic of an agile billing system that it doesn't have to be recoded or rebuilt to meet the needs of a new type of service, or a new business model, or a new type of settlement for a partner deal. If there's a billable event out there that can be captured, then your billing system should be able to bill for it, and do so under any pricing/rating regime, no matter how weird the discounts or premiums. Agile, don't you think?
We are proud to deliver business agility to customers across industry verticals that rely on us to be their service innovation engine and believe these customers can speak to our agility far better than we could ever do:
Concur (largest SaaS ERP provider): "With MetraNet, Concur has a large degree of agility in not having to form fit a business model into its system but rather to do the reverse so that the infrastructure and combinations of business processes can come together however the business evolves."
TELMORE (most competitive MVNO in the world with the a Net Promoter Score of +58): "MetraTech understands our pain points and its MetraNet solution can address market demand for the highest levels of customer responsiveness while simultaneously enabling us to deliver the innovative solutions that our customers want."
Guarulhos (GRU) International Airport, São Paulo (largest airport in Latin America): "The ability of MetraNet to be easily configured to support all of our business models in record time made it possible for this milestone to occur. The ease of use and high visibility also helped us to quickly make any adjustments necessary to comply with regulatory rules during certification."
Cetip (leading marketplace for private fixed income securities and over the counter derivatives): "We believe that the right billing system is the flexible backbone on which we will continue to build a successful future; one that will enable us to support increasingly complex and varied products and services. In MetraTech, we have found a partner who will meet our needs both immediately and into the future."

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

The global reach of soccer never ceases to amaze me. I travel all over the world, sometimes to incredibly remote areas. More often than not, when I get there, somebody is kicking around a soccer ball.
It doesn't matter if it's Asia or Africa or Central America. Kids make a goal out of a couple of backpacks, throw out a ball and the game is on. The "ball" could be a knotted towel or a tennis ball or a tattered leather shell that's barely holding air.
If The NSA Can't Keep Call Records, Should Phone Companies Do It?
Perhaps the most controversial spying program revealed by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden was the agency's hoarding of Americans' phone records.
Congress wants to change that program.
The House has passed legislation that would end the NSA's bulk collection of Americans' calling data and let phone companies hold the records instead.
As a Senate panel found last week, that proposal could run into trouble.

SANTA ANA - Eleven police officers have been recognized by the Orange County chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving for their efforts to arrest people driving under the influence last year.
Vicky Maciha, senior victim advocate, announced the names of the officers, with their 2011 DUI arrest counts, at a recent meeting of the Santa Ana City Council.
They were Cpl. John Crews, 105; Weston Hadley, 101; John Kachirisky, 76; Cpl. Mark Bell, 75; Cpl. Brett Nelson, 40; Dan Carrillo, 39; Sgt. Matt Craig, 35; Cpl. Matt Wharton, 33; Jimmy Correal, 27; Wendy Beatley, 26; James Berwanger, 26.
Officers with 25-99 arrests get a Deuce award, while those with more get a Century award, Maciha said.
Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly reported Correal's rank.

About Skeeter
Skeeter and Sandy, recently retired, parents to 6, grandparents to 14. They recently purchased the house next door, 'Sandy's Vacation Villa' #3537465, also a 6 bedroom 4 1/2 bath.
Skeeter purchased this house in 2008
Why Skeeter chose Aviana Resort
For many years we have rented vacation homes in the Disney area, as well as ocean front home in Panama city and Cape San Blas area. We were getting close to retirement age, and thought why not try it on our own. Since we have big family, 6 kids and 14 grandchildren we needed a large home. Disney area is so exciting to the grandchildren, and We truly enjoy 'family and friend get-togethers'. Davenport was close to the attractions, yet in a quite country setting. Aviana was a gated resort, so it appealed to all of us. Thus Skeeter's Villa was created, an hope all our guest enjoy it as much as our families and friends.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Dear Sandy & Skeeter,
Thank you so much, We enjoyed our stay,
Your home was so comfortable- in every way,
The pool, the game room, and Playstation too,
Gave the kids (and adults) so much to do,
We are left with memories, we will surely treasure,
May your household be blessed forever and ever!
Aron & families From NJ & NY

Nyack News
Nyack Named a Military Friendly School
Posted by Deborah.Walker on Tuesday August 25, 2009
G.I. Jobs magazine has named Nyack College a 2010 Military Friendly School after the publication's research and tracking of our nation's institutions of higher education.
Dr. Scales was recently notified of the recognition, which places Nyack in the top 15% of all American colleges, universities, and trade schools that welcome military members and veterans pursuing degree programs. A plaque will be presented to commemorate the distinction. In addition, Nyack will be included in the September 2009, Guide to Military Friendly Schools.
In his letter to President Scales, G.I. Jobs magazine publisher, Rich McCormack stated, "Clearly you have an interest in recruiting military students and I urge you to continue your already stellar efforts by improving your military-friendliness every year. On behalf of the eight million military members and veterans seeking a school, I thank you for your commitment to educating our nation's most deserving heroes."

Persimmon bids to increase size of Carlisle housing estate
Last updated at 13:58, Monday, 09 June 2014
The surging housing market has prompted Persimmon Homes to enlarge its Brackenleigh development on the south-western fringe of Carlisle.
It says the Government's Help to Buy scheme – which assists those who can afford only a five per cent deposit – has boosted demand, particularly from first-time buyers.
The company won planning permission in 2012 to build 253 homes off Wigton Road.
Now it wants to increase the number to 273, replacing some previously-approved four-bedroom houses with smaller two and three-bedroom properties. These are more likely to suit first-time buyers.
Persimmon Homes Lancashire has already sold 65 homes at Brackenleigh, including 18 this year. Another 13 sales are awaiting completion.
Managing director Mark Cook said: "The housing market in Cumbria remains positive thanks in part to the Help to Buy scheme, which has boosted confidence across the UK and is enabling purchasers to move more freely.
"The re-plan at Brackenleigh is primarily to offer a wider range of properties at the development, now to include two-bedroom properties as well as three-, four- and five-bedroom homes in a wide range of prices.
"This will reflect the changing nature of the local market and offer something for everyone."
Persimmon has applied to Carlisle City Council to substitute 44 mainly four-bedroomed homes at the north of the site with a mix of 64 two-, three- and four-bedroomed properties, including some "affordable" homes available at a discount to local buyers.
Meanwhile, official figures from the Land Registry show that Cumbrian house prices rose in April for the fourth month running.
The average home sold for £122,151, up from £121,690 in March.
Prices were 1.5 per cent higher than April last year, when the average was £120,391. But they remain well below the market peak in December 2007 when the typical home sold for £143,067 – nearly £21,000 more than today.
The Land Registry figures also show that more people are moving. An average of 590 Cumbrian homes changed hands each month between December and February, up from 443 in the same period of 2012-13.
Across England and Wales, house prices rose by 1.5 per cent to £172,069 in April and have risen by 6.7 per cent over a year.
But the national average masks big regional variations.
In London, prices have soared by 17 per cent in a year. The typical home in the capital costs £435,034, three-and-a-half times' the Cumbrian figure.

New projected sales show Eminem's Recovery album en route to sell up to 750,000 copies in its first-week in stores.
Additional reports show Drake's Thank Me Later easily earning a Top 3 spot in its second-week.
Shady's back, all right. Eminem's sales continue to grow, and in our latest upward revision this morning, we're now calling the Recovery number 700-750k. That means the album isn't just a lock to top the first week of his previous release, Relapse, it's on track to be the biggest debut since AC/DC's Black Ice bowed with 784k back in 2008. With the weekend ahead, it's now just a question of how high it can go. Here are the seedings for next week's Top 15 * Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 700-750k Drake (Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown) 150-160k (HITS: Rumor Mill)
Em's new album is expected to become the biggest music debut of 2010.
Offering conclusive proof that Marshall still matters, Eminem's aptly named Recovery will score the year's highest sales debut. Look for a total of between 590-615k for the Shady/Aftermath/Interscope album, easily beating Sade's 503k back in February. It could also beat his last album, Relapse, which sold 608k in its first week in May '09. (Hits Daily Double)
Earlier this month, Fat Joe gave his opinion of Em's latest effort.
"That sh*t's crazy," Joe said in an interview. "That sh*t with him and [Lil] Wayne, [track] number two ['Talkin' 2 Myself']. All that sh*t, man. That n*gga spittin'. Hard…I thought I wasn't gonna like it, cause n*ggas was sayin', Yo, it's rock, and this and that,' but that sh*t was hard. I was expecting just more regular hip-hop type sh*t. You know what I'm sayin'? It was more like Just Blaze-[produced] rock sh*t…I like that sh*t. A lot. I can't lie to you…I think he's back to where he once was…For real. I think lyrically, he's back to where he was. That's what I got from the album." (XXL Mag)
Recently, Em talked about not worrying about first-week sales.
"I don't think I've actually stopped to think about it," Eminem said referencing being named artist of the decade. "I never thought that my life would amount to this. But to be able to sit back and digest it is so strange to me, because I still feel so regular. I don't understand what people think the big deal is about me. It's a very strange relationship that I have with fame…Honestly, as long as people enjoy the music, that means the most to me. I could sell 80 million records in the first week, and if my peers or fans of real hip-hop didn't like it, it really wouldn't mean anything." (Rap Radar)

John MacLean (Ontario politician)
John MacLean (born c.1927) was a Canadian politician and businessperson.
He was a candidate at the 1967 leadership convention of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, a centre-right party that formed the official opposition in the Canadian House of Commons at the time. He was also the operator of a Hertz car rental agency and British Petroleum gas station in Brockville, Ontario.
The convention had been called after a revolt by party members against the leadership of John Diefenbaker. The party was badly divided between supporters and opponents of the former prime minister.
MacLean had worked as a journalist for the Toronto Telegram, Quebec Chronicle, Ottawa Journal, Financial Post and Toronto Star newspapers.
MacLean was an unsuccessful PC candidate in the 1965 election in which he won 10,066 votes (47.1% of the total vote), compared to Liberal candidate Ross Matheson's 10,365.
MacLean was the first to declare his candidacy for the party leadership in 1967. MacLean set himself up as the spokesperson for youth in the party, and ran largely in order to create a larger role for himself in the party. He was not successful in doing this: he failed to win a delegateship from his home riding of Leeds. During he campaign, he was also defeated for the PC nomination in Leeds riding by Desmond Code, who was the sitting MP for neighbouring Lanark riding.
He said that the party should declare a moratorium on tax increases, and aim to "squeeze" government spending in order to reduce taxes, and train a corps of military specialists for civilian emergencies in Canada and abroad. His speech at the convention also did not increase the party's respect for him: he spoke without a prepared text for only 12 of the 19 minutes allotted to him. He funded the $10,000 cost of his campaign by himself.
Toronto Star and Globe and Mail newspapers, August–September 1967.

Beyonce: Pregnant For Real This Time?by Free Britney at . Comments
Beyonce Knowles is pregnant with her first child.
According to Us Weekly, at least, and while we've heard this before - and it's been wrong before - the magazine seems sure about it ... whatever that's worth.
No one was more stunned than Beyonce herself, apparently: "B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn't ready to be a mother just yet," says a source.
Congratulations, we think, to Jay-Z and Beyonce!
"She really wanted to get her album done and tour again," adds the source, but she realizes, of course, that "this is a gift from God and she's so happy."
"Jay has been all about family since I met him, and he's always going to be," record executive Kevin Liles, who has known the rapper for years, says.
"I wish them the best."
So do we if it's true! We wouldn't doubt if it's not, but we can also see these two keeping it to themselves for awhile longer, even if they're expecting ...

I put in over 1000 minutes of exercise during the 28 day bootcamp just finished. It's so rewarding to feel the new strength in my body, along with the creaking joints of arthritis! I sort of ended with a stumble, though, because I simply forgot to do yesterday's video, though I got in 45 minutes of cardio. I was going to go ahead and claim the reward, but on second thought.... you don't get first place if you lead all the way till right before the finish line, so I think I'll just do the boot camp over again, starting next week (I'm going to leaving town in two days).
I'm sure I'll get some walking in while I'm gone, and I'm going to take my stretch band and my laptop so perhaps I can take advantage of some of the SP videos, but my experience with hotel rooms tells me there's not always room to stretch out on the floor and do anything.
Will be with my husband, who's been gone for 3 weeks. So looking forward to spending time with him, though he'll be working.
Happy summer to everyone!
I've been doing way more cardio exercise than is "required" but I'd already started that habit. The daily videos are much easier than the first time around, but I still feel my 68 years when I do them. It's a little sad that when I moved easily and could go all day, I didn't appreciate what I had. Now my body constantly reminds me that it's wearing down.
The consolation is what is driving me.... use it or lose it. Stories about a 94 year old woman still practicing medicine and a former WW II fighter pilot still teaching "barnstorming" and tricks with a bi-plane... that's rewarding to hear. It's been a while since I read those stories, but the year I read it... I almost walked a 1000 miles (984 miles - stopped by too many late night walks and the resulting bronchitis).
My own grandmother lived to be 97, twenty years past my more sedentary and overweight OTHER grandmother. Both fell in their old age, but the active one did not get a broken hip like the other one did... stronger bones because she was more active and took supplements her whole life. This Spark People area if full of those active engaged people. Love it.
P.S. To those people who like to write really long blogs.... shorten them a little, please? And add some white space.... I see a huge long blog and my eyes cross. I truly enjoy reading blogs.... make it easier! I don't have a lot of time to read blogs, and as much as I like them, the really long ones are daunting! Thank you for considering my plea.
Down 1.6 lbs. since starting. That doesn't sound like much, but it's the first real loss in a month or more... I keep bouncing up and down.
The really cool thing is how much stronger I am. In some ways, I'm in better shape than I was while I was in college, where I existed on a candy bar in the afternoon before I went home for dinner, or maybe some custard... can't believe I ate so poorly.
Just watched Dr. Oz and yet another fitness expert on his show. He seems like he's throwing mud on the wall--get a big handfull of information and throw it out there--some will stick to someone somewhere. He seems really fit himself. I've noticed something, though. Watching TV shows about fitness doesn't actually make any changes in MY body.
I experienced drinking a protein drink the other day that seemed to give me a lot more energy. Going to try it for supper tonight. I'm out of fresh fruit but I've got some frozen blueberries I can put in the mix. With my husband out of town, I'm struggling to cook real meals. It just seems to be pointless when I'm not cooking for someone else, too. There's tons of single SP people out there, I know. Gotta pretend I'm one of them and get serious with these healthful meals.
Just as the day before was a no-energy day, day 7 was a full-of-energy day. It pays to rest! I did 30 minutes of Curves, 45 minutes walking with Leslie, and day 6 and 7 of the bootcamp videos.
I'm gratefully aware of how much more easy the videos are than when I first did them. Definitely more fit, although if you were to meet me, I'd just look like another aging lady. That means..... get acquainted with those aging ladies in your life... they might be pretty cool!

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A spokesman for Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin on Monday defended the state's decision to cut off federal funding for three Tulsa-area Planned Parenthood clinics in the wake of a lawsuit that alleges the action was politically motivated retaliation for supporting abortion rights.
Planned Parenthood sues Oklahoma over WIC funding
Planned Parenthood of the Heartland filed the federal lawsuit filed against the state's health commissioner Friday over its decision to terminate Women, Infants and Children, or WIC, contracts and the three facilities.
But Fallin spokesman Alex Weintz said the governor was not involved in the decision, which he said was based more on the cost-effectiveness of the clinics.
"(The health department's) explanation is that they found other service providers that can offer WIC services at more affordable rates, and the governor supports good stewardship of taxpayer dollars," Weintz said. "The question simmering below the surface is if this has anything to do with abortion, and the answer is 'no.'"
Planned Parenthood maintains that women and children who receive food and nutritional counseling at the three clinics will be irreparably harmed if the Oklahoma Department of Health pushes ahead with its decision to terminate the contracts at the end of the year. They maintain they will be forced to lay off staff members and possibly close one of its health centers in the Tulsa area. This year, the three Planned Parenthood clinics received $454,000, combined, to provide WIC services.
Health Department spokeswoman Leslea Bennett-Webb declined to comment on the suit Monday, but agency officials have said previously that the decision to terminate the contracts was based in part on Planned Parenthood's cost per participant exceeding those of other clinics in the Tulsa area and the uncertainty of future federal funding.

Dr. Page tells the full story of the discovery and development of radar, the most valuable weapon of World War Two and one of the marvels of our technological age. He starts with the accidental discovery of radar when in 1922 A.H. Taylor and L.C. Young noticed that ships on the Anacosta River interrupted radio transmission and follows the development of pulse radar to its present applications in navigation, weather forecasting, astronomy and other technical fields. Woven into the story is a clear explanation of radar equipment and the physical principles involved.

When I change my routine, I don't see results on the scale for about 4-6 weeks afterwards. I can see other things happening like pants getting looser, belly getting smaller, but the scale hangs in there for a few weeks after. This is just one of those Rules of GOINGALLIN2013's Body and we just need to work with it.... For now!
I got a fitness assessment on May 29th. I did both RMR and VO2 Max. I'm a runner and recently I noticed my body can go more than my lungs can. That's a normal hurdle, and doing the VO2 test was the next step in the performance evolution chain. But the RMR blew me away! I found out that I was eating 600 calories a day LESS than I need. That's a major meal's worth of calories there! My RMR is 2150 and I was eating about 1500 calories a day. I started my new food plan on June 2.
It's taken a couple weeks to be able to eat that much healthy food in a day. I mean sure I can go eat a Big Mac every day and get my 600 calories, but that's not how we do it here people! 600 calories of fruit, veggies, healthy fats, healthy carbs and proteins is a lot of food. I've gone though some ups and downs while integrating this change into my life, and I thought I would share the pluses and minuses with everyone...
1) I am no longer cold all the time. I was cold ALL THE TIME. And it wasn't just that I thought I was cold all the time. Ask my boyfriend how cold I was when we snuggled. I was cold.
2) I'm not hungry all the time. My stomach actually stops growling now. I don't feel like I am actively starving myself.
3) My mood is a lot more level. 2 things in life that I really can not stand are being cold all the time and being hungry all the time. See #1 and #2 and you can see how #3 just sort of fixes itself. :) Plus I'm not on a food roller coaster, so my mood isn't either.
4) Less aggressive cravings. You know the ones... The ones where you are completely obsessing about a certain food and you can not function until you get it. The cravings that take over your world? I haven't felt that way about a food in a few weeks. So that's pretty good.
5) Way more energy. I actually have energy to work out 5 times a week. Before if I was able to work out 2 days I was DONE after that. This is helping out tremendously with my running goals.
1) Instant 4lb weight gain as my body says, "WTF ARE YOU DOING?!"
2) It's actually challenging to consume this volume of healthy food. 2 cups of spinach? Seriously? It's taken me the last 4 weeks to get to a point where I can eat all the food without feeling overstuffed. A good salad can still put a hurting on me though, especially if it's included in dinner.
3) I feel like I am eating all the time. This is a new dietary change and it will take time to adjust. But I feel like eating is a full-time job right now.
4) Gastrointestinal upset. Don't think there isn't a physical side effect of suddenly eating more... Even if you were already on an eating right track. It's more food for processing, and we'll just say there are repercussions during the adjustment period.
Maybe you're sitting there wondering where you even go to get an RMR or a VO2 Max test done. Maybe you're wondering what kind of information YOU could learn. Well, I am a member at LifeTime Fitness and that is where I got the tests done. I am told you do NOT have to be a member in order to get the RMR and VO2 Max tests done there, you just pay like $10-$20 extra or something like that. There are several other facilities/clubs in my area that offer similar services for varying prices, of course. :) If you don't have LTF nearby, call the gyms near you and see if anyone offers these tests. For RMR it was a 12 hour? fast and then 15 minutes of breathing while sitting in a dark room. The VO2 is a "smaller" version of that test you see hard core athletes doing on the treadmill. At my gym it's just with a HR monitor and the mask; no wires stuck to your body everywhere.
Anyways, I hope some of this information helps one of you all out there in Spark Land. Maybe you're getting discouraged and see some of the same patterns. Don't fret! Maybe you need to go through the 4-6 week adjustment period before things happen... Maybe you actually AREN'T eating enough... Start looking for the pattern, and get yourself some extra data if you have to.
Tis late Saturday/Early Sunday. It's a Saturday like many other Saturdays before it.
Earlier this week I decided that today was no holds barred cheat day. I can eat whatever the heck I want in whatever quantity I want and damn the scale, the tracking, the whatevers. The boyfriend is out of town so I can eat all the stuff he doesn't like. I have been looking forward to it.
I got up early, and had a bowl of cereal. Total permission to fill the bowl and not get out those measuring cups or anything. But I noticed I grabbed the little bowl I use when I measure my food. And I noticed I filled the bowl about as full as it looks after I measure the cereal. Hm, look at that. This measuring thing is catching on. Well, that's not really a big deal, I am pretty good with certain food items (cereal being one of them) so this really isn't so exciting.
It IS that exciting. I just didn't appreciate it at 8am this morning!
Next, I bounced out the door to take the cat to the vet. I didn't have coffee beforehand, so I stopped at Starbucks on the way home. I ordered a tall chai and a slice of that lemon poundcake I love so much. I don't remember savoring the chai, it was gone pretty fast. But I DO remember eating the poundcake. I was hyperaware of it. I kept waiting for each bite to be amazing and WOW THIS IS SO GOOD like I had remembered it was. It wasn't as good as I remembered it at all. The only part that was good was the top where all the frosting was. And now the frosting is so sweet that it wasn't really all that amazing.
Uh what? Did I just eat something, decide it didn't taste all that great, and that it isn't worth putting in my body anymore?! That's... new
Somewhere between getting in the car to take the cat to the vet and getting home from running some errands, I realized I had a migraine. I immediately blamed a lack of coffee and dehydration. I started chugging water immediately, took some Excedrin and rested for an hour or so. When I woke up I realized this was one of THOSE migraines, and no amount of water or caffeine were gonna make it go away. Today, Mother Nature was in control of the throbbing in my skull. I was gonna have to just tough it out.
I went for a mani/pedi, did a few more errands and then headed home. It was time to build the main course for today: Scratch made deep dish cheese pizza. I made the dough and set it aside to rise. Once it was in the pan for the second rising I started to shred the cheese and make the sauce. By now I'm hungry so I grabbed a tupperware of watermelon and got my snack on. I probably ate 1 cup of watermelon balls. As I was putting the watermelon away my brain said "Hey! You shouldn't do that! Even for fruit. Take a portion out of the tupperware next time!"
At this point, I can no longer deny it: SparkPeople has totally invaded my brain.
The pizza was a work of art. It was amazing. I intended to eat the whole thing. Ok well I can't actually eat a whole pizza, but I can usually eat half a pizza. I was almost full at 2 slices (8 slice pizza) but I went for the 3rd anyways. I wasn't uncomfortably full but a 10 minute break after 2 slices would have worked.
I was going to make frozen margaritas tonight. I bought my absolute favorite flavor of ice cream. I had food devouring plans here, people! I was on a mission!
Round about 10pm I decided I was bored and went out for a 3 mile walk. I do run pretty regularly between 9-10 at night so that isn't so unusual, but it is when I have a migraine. I so should have just slothed myself right into bed.
I am sure thousands of people have said it before, but I will say it now: This time, something IS different. I beat myself up for going over calories for the day or for not tracking precisely or whatever other stupid thing I come up with. And all the while I am focusing on the little things, there are BIG changes happening.
Aside from measuring my food and being more present when I eat, I joined the run club at my gym. I started going to the yoga class again. I'm trying to figure out how to fit other group fitness into my life. I'm actually looking for the support I need to be successful. I explained the importance of my gym days to my boyfriend and have rid myself of any guilt for going to the gym instead of spending time with him.
Wonder what the next month brings....

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Tuesday Tip' category.
Dads, if your kids are growing and your wife is pregnant or nursing, it's possible that you're the person who's body could best handle skipping a meal. So consider not taking the biggest piece of meat or spoonful of mashed potatoes.
Dads, teach this to your sons and daughters:
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
Add the word "sister" in there. Teach them what you think it means.
Dads, if you have the resources, go buy two of these:
… and the next time you and your wife have a free hour, go get some cool drinks, find a nice park and sit and talk. It will be a blessing to both of you.
[Another Perhaps-more-helpful-for-large-families tip]
I have a little ritual I do at family meal times, right before I pray. I say, "Love, Joy, Peace". This is my indicator that I'm about to pray (or ask someone else to) and that all talking (and other activity) should stop.
It works. When they hear those words, it becomes quiet fairly quickly. At least for those few moments. And then, after I say "Amen", it goes back to the general din of family chatter.
[This might be helpful for all families, but I think it's especially helpful for large families]
Dads, at the dinner table, my wife and I tell our kids a modified version of Luke 19:26:
'We tell you that to everyone who eats, more will be given, but from the one who eats not, even what he has will be taken away.'
In The Pastor's Kid author Barnabas Piper gives advice to Pastors that I will generalize to all dads:
Dads, don't just say, "I'm a sinner" when talking to your kids, admit and apologize for real and specific sinful deeds done against them.
Dads, encourage your children to determine and then consider the message or idea encouraged by every book or comic they read, every song they hear, and every TV show or movie they watch.
And this includes subtext or implied messages.
[This might be helpful for all families, but I think it's especially helpful for large families]
Dads, invest in a water bottle for each of your kids. Choose different colors so they immediately recognize theirs.
– Good for picnics.
– Bring them on Vacations.
– If you're going to an informal gathering, bring them along.
Dads, one way to live out the gospel with your children is to be willing to apologize when you've sinned against them. At the very least, this shows them that you know you aren't perfect.
