My last week was about 70% successful in diet aspect. I still have not added any significant exercise as my feet have been hurting and I pretty much wanted to just stretch. I have been stretching my feet and the pain is getting better. I am happy with the changes I made this past week although it could have been better. I need to get organized little better so I can make best use of my time to do my things and also relax. I lost 2 lbs this week but I think it is just water weight.
This week my goals are
1. incorporate at least 20min of real exercise a day.
2. Become more mindful of what goes in my mouth.
3. practice more self control.
4. Organize my schedule better and in advance.
I am feeling real good this morning. Had a good night sleep and woke up at 6am very fresh. had my coffee and watched some Utube videos for my son's math lesson (10th grade geometry). I have to refresh my knowledge before I tutor him.
I did almost well yesterday with my diet and I am going to improve that today. Thanks to my Spark Friend WOBBIE who corrected my way of thinking. So today I will be mindful of every bite. I will prepare my meal in advance so I will not fail when I am busy & hungry...(Burger king sandwich yesterday )
I did pretty good in the exercise department. I worked out on my elliptistrider for 35 min. I stretched my legs before and after exercise. My feet are hurting little less today. I am not walking bare feet in my house anymore and I am stretching my Achilles tendon and calf muscle few times a day that helps with the Plantar Fascitis. I am incorporating squats and lunges in between what ever I am doing. And I am stretching through out the day a little bit. My little steps at a time to become more flexible in my joints and muscles.
Its my day off today and kids are off because of election day. So I want my day to be organized and productive so I can have both fun with kids and business...
I hope all Sparkers have a nice day too.
I have been away from Spark People. Many reasons to account for but mainly because I lacked motivation, I have been busy with my family and sickness and most of all my feet hurt a lot all day from Plantar Fascitis and knees hurt that even if I do one day of exercise then next few days are very painful. Got the steroid shots, got all the different orthotics and insoles for the shoes and motrin around the clock but it just does not get better.
But I need to get myself back together somehow and no one else but I can fix myself. I am the one who has to control what goes in my mouth. I have lost my buddies that I can relate to and kind of feel alone. But I just need to do it without excuses and by myself.
So here's my new plan until new year...
1. I will log on Spark People daily..no matter what.
2. I will log my weight daily on daily tracker and weekly on weekly tracker. So 60 days or 8 weeks to a New Year 2015.
3. I will try and exercise what ever I can to gradually build my stamina up.
4. I will try and be mindful of what I am eating.
Good Monday everyone....
Life is very short and unpredictable. On this mothers day I am wishing all the mothers out there a very Happy Mothers day!!! I spent my day with my mother in my house. I had never been able to do that in a long time since I was married in 1997.
Earlier this year my dad came to stay with me to take care of my kids in the end of Feb when my husband had to go to India.He did not look good physically and had lost a lot of weight and slept a lot all day. I called my mom and she said that since he retired he is always like this but I was uncomfortable and it did not seem normal to me. I took him to be checked up at the hospital and 4 days later we found out that he has stage 4 cancer. Most likely from Pancreas but its already spread to the liver and lungs. The prognosis was very bad. In exactly 7 weeks from March 8th my dad was gone from our lives. There was nothing anyone could do to save him. My heart cries a lot. Life can be so unpredictable.
But as I am trying to recover from his great loss, I am trying to keep my mom close to me. I bring her to my house on the weekends to spend some time with her as she stays with my brother. Who knows who will go and when. I realize there is no perfect time to do things in life. There is no money or exotic food or big house or better car or better clothes that can make me happier than spending time with my loved ones. My kids and husband missed me a lot while I was gone from the house to take care of my father in the hospital. Atleast I have no regrets that way that I could not be there for him. But while he was living, most of the times I had avoided him then because he was a tough man and did not express his feelings very much. He never showed his insecurities to us that he needed help.
I am trying hard to break my cycle of being busy all the time. We get so busy doing something all the time, running after things to catch them that we do not enjoy our present...TODAY...NOW...
I am not going to run after things. I have decided that I am not going to work any extra hours to make that extra money which keeps me away from my kids. In the end my father left us on that hospital bed, in that hospital gown and not being able to eat or drink anything. The car, money, clothes, jewelry..everything stayed behind. While I cried in the hospital many times because I knew his end was near, he would ask me, why do I cry and then I would go hug him and say, "nothing dad" and he would hug me back.... I miss him a lot. I had never hugged him in my life before and realize that today I have more to be thankful to him than things about him to complain about. I was not able to see it this way when he was alive.
I want to enjoy my mother just not on the Mother's Day but everyday of her time until she is still alive. I want to be a good mother to my kids and be with them as much as possible to give quality time to them.
Happy Mother's day to all the mothers out there. Please enjoy your day today and everyday!!!
So, I have been thinking about what I want to achieve in life for my weight goal and what am I doing to achieve those wishes. I thought about all those efforts that helped me last time I lost weight. I remember all the changes I made in regards to diet and exercise. I need to do that one more time. I succeeded then and if I focus I can do it again. I wanted to post the pics in my blog of my success that time
This was me in August 2006 at 175. (Arjun was 6months old)
This was me in summer of 2009. Lost 40lbs.. (Arjun was 3 yrs old)
Me at a colleagues wedding recently. (Gained 40lbs that I lost). Back to almost same weight as August 2006.

Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick
Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.10 oz.) was an incredibly disappointing formula. The majority of the shades were drying, difficult to apply, under-pigmented, and uncomfortable to wear. The brand made some big claims like 10-hour wear, which was hard for most shades to live up to, but the surprise was more in just how dry and stiff many shades were. The stiffer consistency made it hard to get even, rich color payoff on the lips. It's such a shame, because the range has a lot of interesting colors in it. Overall, the shimmery shades performed better than the matte finishes, but few shades were worth considering at the end of the day.

Meet TaTa
September 4, 2014 11:33 am - No Comments
We have a new furbaby. Her name is TaTa, I think, she doesn't seem to answer to it. Maybe I'm saying it wrong?
Anyway, last Friday while browsing my Facebook feed I see a post that the animal shelter had a female chihuahua. When I first saw her she was hiding and shaking in her cell. I don't think the two huge dogs in cells next to her, that would not stop barking, was helping her nerves a bit. She was also in a cell with some other type of dog, which I think was a poodle or something close to it. This dog had come in with her. They said that the reason they were in there is because the owner rented and the landlord wouldn't allow them to keep the dogs anymore.
When we finally got her out I held her for about ten minutes. At first she was very scared but seemed to calm down. The animal shelter workers informed me that she would need some work as she was very shy and skittish.
We were not able to bring home at the time of adoption due to being spayed and chipped. I was told that it would be Tuesday before she would come home with me. I was surprised when they called me about four hours later to pick her up the next morning.
As of today she seems not to be so skittish. She is getting over her shyness more and more every day. She is leash trained. She does not like being outside without a leash on her. I tried not using a leash and she just runs back to the front door and sits there wanting back inside. Hence why the photo above is in front of my front door. As we live in the county we do not put a leash on our dogs. Walking a dog on a leash is new to me. I have never had one to cooperate on one. Every dog I have had would just stand there looking very confused.
TaTa demands attention ALL.THE.TIME. unless she is asleep. If you are not giving her attention she will whine. I have figured out that the pointing of a finger and a stern hush will quiet her down for about ten minutes. I do feel that she was a very spoiled dog with her previous owners.

First Week of School 2014
August 27, 2014 10:21 am - No Comments
The kids have been in school for a week now. Landun started the fourth grade and Mikayla started the 7th. This puts them both on totally different schedules. I am slowly getting into a routine.
In the morning I get up at 5:30 in order to get Landun on the bus at 5:50, which is the same as last year. Only last year they both got on the bus at the same time. Mikayla's bus comes at 7:15. I am not a morning person so having to stay up almost two hours is torture to me, especially since I don't make it to bed til 1am or 2am at the latest. I am a night owl. After both kids are off to school I head back to bed and sleep til 11am - 12pm.
Landun comes home from school at 2:45pm. Which gives him an hour and a half home without his sister. He is able to do his homework peacefully. If his sister were here they'd be fighting as soon as they stepped off the bus together. Landun is coming home in a good mood and happily doing his homework. Looks like this year is off to a good start.
So far both of them seem to be doing good. Mikayla started at a new school this year. This new school was where I attended high school. They converted it into a middle school since we got a new high school (that looks like a college campus) a few years ago. It is a very difficult school to navigate, so you get lost very easily. Don't know who thought building a school in pods was a good idea back in the 70's.
Here are some photos that I took of the kids a few days ago:

The EMC XtremIO 3.0 Disruptive Update Debate - Customers Don't Care
Last week news quickly spread that the EMC XtremIO 3.0 update will be what's politely called a disruptive update (DU). What this means is the changes are so fundamental to how the flash arrays operate, that all data will be lost when upgrading to 3.0. All prior updates, the most recent being XtremIO 2.4, were on the other hand non-disruptive updates (NDU) meaning they could be done in-place with no damage to data. As a refresher, XtremIO 3.0 is due for GA this month and brings many improvements including online data compression, performance boost and increased scalability. For XtremIO customers, these are welcome enhancements but there's a cost. EMC had to make material changes to the way data is structured on the arrays, which is the core reason the DU is required for 3.0. For all the excitement that has spread about this update via Twitter, enthusiast blogs and XtremIO competitors, one fact remains; the online vitriol is largely one-way. XtremIO customers don't seem to care all that much about the update being disruptive.Read more

After treatment for breast cancer, many women experience cognitive problems, as determined by objective neuropsychological tests. However, the ecological validity of these tests has been questioned. This study explored the trajectory of perceived attentional function from before to 24 months after surgery in women with breast cancer and examined the effect of adjuvant treatment on this perceived attentional function. Women with breast cancer (N = 200) were assessed for perceived cognitive function by measuring attentional function using the attentional function index (AFI). Covariates included anxiety, depression, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. Perceived attentional function declined in 54% of women at 1 month after surgery. At 1 and 2 years after surgery, 41 and 30% of women, respectively, still perceived this decline. The mean AFI decreased to the lowest point 1 month after surgery, but improved gradually afterward, taking about 1 year to return to the pre-surgery level. Decreases in perceived attentional function were associated with increases in anxiety, depression, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. After controlling for baseline differences and covariates, mean AFI scores were not associated with adjuvant treatment. Perceived cognitive function deteriorated after surgery but improved over time. It was not associated with adjuvant cancer treatment.

Additional Information
Grey, the WPP-owned advertising agency, has acquired a majority stake in German digital media agency k102.
Sir Martin Sorrell: group chief executive, WPP
The company, which is based in Dusseldorf, was founded in 2006 by Lars Moltrecht and Jane Guntner and has worked alongside Grey since January 2010.
Key clients include Deichmann, Transparo, MBT, Gard and Toshiba.
According to WPP, k102's unaudited revenues for the year ended 31 December 2011 were approximately €1.3m with gross assets as at the same date of approximately €1.2m.
WPP said the investment will continue its strategy of "developing its services in fast-growing and important markets and sectors and strengthening its digital capabilities."
WPP's digital revenues totalled US$4.8bn in 2011, representing approximately 30% of the group's total revenues of over US$16bn.
WPP has set a target of 35%-40% of revenue to be derived from digital in the next five years.
Collectively, WPP companies in Germany employ around 7,000 people (including associates) with revenues of approximately US$1.3bn.
On this basis, Germany is WPP's fourth largest market after the US, UK and China.
The news follows WPP's recent $540m acquisition of digital agency AKQA in June this year.
In August, WPP claimed that it had seen 7% year on year growth in profits.Follow @nickbatten2

text: Idea Exchange: Triage your phone messages Aug 01, 2006 By dvm360.com staff VETERINARY MEDICINE Our busy four-doctor mixed-animal clinic developed this phone message template to help receptionists take more effective messages. At the top of the memo pad is a list of the doctors' initials, and the receptionist circles the initials of the doctor the note is for. Next, the receptionist fills in the client information—name, phone number, and pet name. The receptionist jots down a short message, notes the duration of the problem, and circles the animal's species. Then the receptionist initials the note in case the doctor needs more information. Lastly, the receptionist circles an abbreviation that indicates the message's priority (Emerg = emergency, ASAP = as soon as possible, WA = call when available, NC = nonclient). The message is then posted in the central treatment area, where it is checked regularly. This memo pad system has greatly improved communication among clients, receptionists, and doctors.

CHICAGO – The awesomeness of history loses any of its stuffiness with the incredibly fun, indeed educational show "Drunk History" from Comedy Central, its two seasons now released on DVD. Hosted by its creator Derek Waters, the show is a celebration of various historic figures and their under-appreciated true tales, as expressed by funny people narrating in the universal language of inebriation; their recounts are then reenacted by famous actors working with their given dialogue, dressed with the comic cheapness of a bloated biopic.

Blu-Ray Review: 'Gossip Girl: Season 3' Sports Skin-Deep DramaSubmitted by mattmovieman on August 24, 2010 - 6:37am
CHICAGO – "Gossip Girl" isn't a show, it's a living fashion spread. Everything in the frame is on sale, though at a price few viewers could afford. I suspect a large portion of the show's fans are the type of celebrity hounds who devour gossip columns, alternately envious and repulsed by the lives of the rich elite. Any pleasure to be derived from such a column is of an inherently guilty nature.
DVD Review: Season Two of 'Gossip Girl' With Blake Lively, Leighton MeesterSubmitted by BrianTT on August 20, 2009 - 9:36am
CHICAGO – It's senior year for the spoiled socialites of "Gossip Girl" as the second season of the hit CW show finds the characters applying for college amid scandals, new romances (and old ones), and shifting alliances. It's just another crazy year in the life of "Gossip Girl: The Complete Second Season," now available on DVD in a gorgeous box set from Warner Brothers.

Score from 158 reviews Very good
Stunning views from the room.
Room I stayed in needs updating and decorating. It was clean. Would have like small tea and coffee making facilities in the room rather than have to go upstairs (via outside) to the shared kitchen first thing in the morning. Concerned to witness the cleaner smoking while cleaning the rooms when I popped back at lunchtime.
Loved the site and the location was also very good, 10 minutes walk from downtown Tofino
the rooms are in need of tender loving care...
Great to be off the beaten Tofino path! Fabulous reception when we arrived and regular checks to be sure of our comfort and car trouble remedy. Really hospitable and aside from a noisy shower fan, the lodge was perfect for us!
We liked the situation and the outlook it was gorgeous and in the town. There was as very comfortable spacious communal sitting room, dining room and kitchen with lovely views over the water and the mountains. It rained all the time but it doesn't always. Despite the bedrooms
We did not have a view from the front as our bedroom was downstairs with sliding doors and it was a bit darkbut we did not spend time in it. However it was well equipped and comfortable but I would ask for a room with a view if you are planning on going there.
There's a harbour view here, not a beach view. We found it stunning, especially when the sun shone. The deck has a picnic table, Adirondack chairs, a barbecue, a crab-boiling setup and a fire pit with firewood. Host Chris Barker is personable and helpful.
The rooms are standard motel-type rooms, rather old-fashioned. Ours had a huge bed and a sliding glass door so you could see the view. The TV was small; however, we didn't watch it, so no big deal. I would have enjoyed a bathtub, but our room didn't have one.
View was fantastic.
We were below ground level and didn't care for that room but that was not any reflection on Swell Lodge
Tofino as itself
Uncomfortable bed Attitude of manager No service during stay
Loved the common room and the opportunity to meet other travels. Gorgeous view, walking distance to town and fantastic amenities. Hot tub,fire pit, full working kitchen and barbeque!
I could never find the front desk staff when needed.
The beautiful views. The garden the hot tub the common area with a a great kitchen big table comfy armchairs and fabulous picture window.
We had a dark bedroom with no view
THe outdoor BBQ, fire pit and hot tub space is amazing, bed was amazingly comfortable, and house was immaculately clean. Great stay!
Wifi password ends to be written down somewhere as there is not always someone around!
Comfort of lounge diner and the best equipped kitchen facilities I have ever used. Wifi was instant and we were able to use house phone for any local call. The views were fantastic as we're the cheeky blue jays. Would have liked to stay longer and will if I am able to return.
We were greeted by the owner when we arrived, and he showed us everything we needed to know, including the common area/kitchen that we could use, and the barbecue and outside sitting area which were all great. Our room was clean and comfy, and very quiet. We even were able to do a load of laundry which was great. The location was just a lovely short walk from Tofino and the restaurants and shops. It was a great place to stay, and we'd definitely stay again.
Nothing - it was all wonderful.
Location, beautiful views of inlet and Islands, lovely gardens and sitting areas. Kitchen facilities and lounge great.
Our Downstair Room very dark and musty.
This accommodation was a nightmare!! The owner wasn't around much and didn't really care what's going on around! The rooms were not what I consider clean! This Lodge must be completely refurbished asap!! The availability of accommodation in Tofino is really limited – that's the only reason why this one still exists! The price is absolutely not justifiable!! I've been in many far better motels for less than half the price…
Everything was fantastic. ocean view, hot tub, fire place, bbq and full use of a kitchen, couldnt get any better than that!
Gorgeous setting, ten minute walk to town. Friendly hosts and access to a hot tub and firepit overlooking beautiful water views.
Had trouble with WiFi
The communal kitchen was very well equipped and the view was first rate.
Location and fantastic view. Common area for cooking, dining and entertainment (contemporary equipped) with water view. BBQ and fireplace on the grounds to make friends and share stories. Friendly host.
Room very musty. Drain pipe from shower upstairs runs through the room below. Do not think sheets changed regularly. Found chips in between the sheets before going to sleep.
The outdoor and garden area were very nice .beautiful view of the ocean inlet. Comfortable outdoor seating.
Our room was very musty. smelling. This smell permeated even our clothing so that the clothes smelled this musty smell until hey were cleaned.
Location, view.
Shower, bed, unclear booking.
the stunning views of the bay, the hot tub that we can use 'anytime', free use of the fully equipped communal kitchen, the lovely gardens, comfortable king size bed. It would be my pleasure to stay there again . . .
I had a bit of trouble with the wifi but no other complaints whatsoever.
Amazing location + fantastic view from the garden Well equipped kitchen
We had a room at the back which was extremely damp, dark and smelly - if you had a room at the front of the hotel it would be worth the money
very people freindly,a nice place after the long drive.
consistant rain,we picked the wrong week-end

If we know people are going to hate it, why make plans to build it?
We need to stop planning how to create stupidity and ugliness in our city!
There's enough of it being created by accident already.

Why must they have so many units crammed in that they are relying on using a type of parking structure people detest? And "190 square feet of common open areas..." Um, that's the size of a small living room. And they think a discounted eco-pass will make up for the extreme inconvenience to anyone willing to live there? How about building what there is room for, including accessible parking.... and enough space that you can't stand at your window and spit into your neighbor's apartment? The planners sure seem to be on a campaign to pack people in like sardines.

I'd like to see good long term planning that would truly benefit our community - beyond just focusing on "more property tax revenue" from building as much high-density housing as we can (and high density retail), without adequate consideration of traffic, parking, schools, open space, and general quality of life.

First, at 9:00 AM in the front parking lot, we will witness a flag ceremony performed by the VVA 528 color guard. At 7:00 PM, we are pleased to welcome some of the members of the Michigan Philharmonic to perform some patriotic music. If anyone wishes to share memories or experiences of that day, please contact Marcia at 734-397-0999 x1079. God Bless America.
