Well I got my test results back! And everything looks normal I did have them test my T3 and T4 levels, and they both came back within normal ranges. I know I should be excited that nothing is supposedly wrong with me, but these results simply put me back at square one! What is wrong that I can't lose weight?
I do have high blood pressure, so it's been argued that my HRM is giving me a false positive and I'm not burning as many calories as I think I am. Of course my calorie intake is directly related to how many calories I expend, so I could be eating to many calories. So I guess a call for new meds is in order. Something that will lower my bp, not cause water retention, and something that won't prevent me from loosing weight.
I've had issues before with meds not allowing my heart rate to rise during exercise so I was burning minimal calories because I couldn't get my heart rate into the target zone. And I am not one to expend energy working out and not see results. Yes, I know I'm getting stronger and yada yada yada...
So, it's F*ck It Friday for me! I'll resume caring Monday!
Lots has happened since my last blog, so I'll just jump right in! Sunday night we went to bed earl in preparation for the week and Reiko woke up around 1 a.m. with what we thought were horrible back spasms. She'd been experiencing minor spasms during the previous week, but she's a mechanic and she has fibromyalgia, so we didn't think to much of it. But this was different. She was in excruciating pain so we headed to the ER. The doctor there thought she was also suffering from spasms and prescribed her Valium and Ibuprofen.
Needless to say, I didn't get any exercise in on Monday. I was exhausted from being up all night and then coming home to take care of Reiko. Tuesday she woke up not feeling one bit better, so we got her in as a walk-in to her regular doctor. Almost immediately the nurse, who is familiar with Reiko's medical history, told Reiko she kidney stones! Her protein levels were off the charts, she was really dehydrated, so most likely that severe pain what woke up initially at 1am was her actually passing the stones. The doctor told her to stop taking the Ibuprofen because that's really hard on kidneys and prescribed her Vicodin instead, along with antibiotics. She also has to drink 12 glasses of water AND 12 glasses of water to flush her kidneys and re-hydrate! She slept on and off all day yesterday so was able to get in about an hour of exercise! I did 25 minutes of ab work and 40 minutes of cardio/upper body ST.
Apparently, Vicodin and Valium are a great combination because she's asleep right now so I'm about to get in another 60 minutes. I wish she would start feeling better because I hate to see her in so much pain, but the doc said that her kidneys are probably still spasming and are very tender right now. She needs to keep drinking her 24 glasses of water and cranberry juice for the next few days to completely flush her kidneys, re-hydrate herself, and prepare for her return to wor next week!
I am also going on Day 3 of NO smoking. I'd decided on Friday that Monday I would quit again. After everything that happened I'm really proud of myself for not giving in and smoking after everything that's been going on! But I told myself that there will always be a reason/excuse to smoke so I need to just quit. I was really moody Monday, but I feel better today. Reiko has been really good about going outside to smoke which has helped a lot! I've done it before so I know I can do it again.
I didn't realize it had been quite so long since my last blog. Don't worry you haven't missed much at all. I had my doctor's appointment yesterday and for now I'll say it was a success. She wanted to run all sorts of tests and have me come back for multiple appointments until I ever so kindly reminded her I don't have health insurance. I told her my issues, what I thought it was, and what I wanted to get screened for. If it doesn't appear to be my thyroid, then we can go from there with more tests.
She asked me, "Would you like to know what you should weigh?" So of course I thought to myself. Oh boy, here we go with the lecture. But then I realized I'm 32 years old, I'm not an idiot, and I'm not going to let the doctor scare me anymore. I'm working towards a healthier lifestyle and I've encountered a problem, so it's your job to find a solution to the problem. Not lecture me. Obviously I already know I need to try and get healthy THAT'S WHY I'M HERE! So my response to her was, "Do you mean would I like to know what YOU think I should weigh? I already know, but you can tell me anyway. I'm sure you're going to say 145-155". She looks at her little weight/BMI wheel and says, "Well 158." That 'aint gonna happen sister. Reiko is shorter than I am and weighs 175 (she's skinny, she's a mechanic so every day is a 9 hour workout for her especially in this heat) so weighing 15-20 less than her would look grossly inappropriate on me.
I got blood drawn and now just have to wait for the results. The nurse only had to stick me one even though my veins like to play hide and go seek. Every time he touched my vein it roll away form him like it was doing an impression of Stuart from Mad TV "Don't touch me!" haha I only got a slight bruise, so I'm pretty happy!
On a side note, I went for a 6 mi walk this morning! I had to take Reiko to work this morning because we left her truck at a friends house, so I got all my stuff prepped last night and was ready to go this morning. I got to the trail head around 7 a.m. so it was still nice and cloudy out and pretty cool. Not a lot of people either so I enjoyed my walk. Does anyone have any recommendations for good pair of headphones? The ones that come with my iPod and phone just don't work for physical activity.
I haven't weighed myself in over a week, so imagine my surprise when I weighed in this morning and I'd lost 6 lbs. Since I think I might have hypothyroidism, I did some research and eliminated/limited foods from my diet that inhibit thyroid function and absorption. I stopped eating peaches, limited strawberries to a minimal amount this weekend, and ensured that any broccoli and spinach I ate was cooked and not eaten raw.
As far as exercise goes, I only worked out twice this week and last week I didn't get true exercise in. I went bowling with my nephew, walked around the SA Event Center, etc. I didn't do any cardio or ST. That's drastically less exercise than I did in May!
But my body has done weird things like this before, so is it just a fluke? I don't know, but hopefully we'll find out soon! I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday the 20th and I'm praying we'll be able to make heads or tails of what's going on. The only problem with hypothyroidism is that your test results can be misleading!! I plan to sit down this weekend and write an overview of the last month and a half for the doctor. I'm going to include any changes that I made this last week and a half that could explain my drastic weight loss.
I hope to have answers soon, but until then I'm going to continue to eat well and exercise. I can't control everything, but I can control that!
Yesterday was my first day exercising in two weeks. I planned on taking it easy and just doing a little bit, but after my 10 minute workout was over, I felt that really wasn't enough. I thought I'd do another 10 minutes, but as it worked out I did 45 minutes and burned 723.9 calories. It felt good to work hard, to sweat....so good I ended up getting up early this morning and starting the day with 30 minutes of pilates. I plan on doing another 30 minutes of cardio later today PLUS I'm going to take my nephew swimming, so I guess it's going to be a pretty active day!
I've decided to just ignore the scale for a while. I say this, as I hear the scale calling out to me from the other room!! But, I already know that it's either not going to change or it's going to fluctuate until we figure out what's going on with my body, so there's no point in allowing myself to get upset, which is what weigh-ins have done to me lately. I am getting stronger and increasing my stamina with every workout, so I'm just going to keep on keeping on.
I really want to say to anyone out there struggling, you can't give up. Don't blindly keep pushing forward, but evaluate your exercise routine and your diet. Are you really eating as clean as you think you are? Are you getting enough exercise or just the bare minimum? If you're eating healthy and exercising consistently, visit your doctor because there may be something else going on. We can't quit because things get hard. We have to push back that much harder!!

Fresno. I have a few friends in California, none in the other states.
Jesus the Friend
I've heard of Fresno, never even heard of the other cities.
So by default I choose Fresno.
Detroit, was actually thinking today about moving back.
Fresno is one of the worst places in the world.
^ he isn't kidding. I live in Fresno. Its incredibly awful
Nope I wasn't kidding.
My guess the common theme on the list was extremely hot awful places.
Never been to Birmingham, lived in Detroit and it's actually a great place. Reno is a prettty bad place but Fresno is in a class by itself.
Postal Twinkie
I lived in Reno once, and would hate to go back. However, compared to the other cities it is Heaven.

We ordered 3 different barstools to try- this was our favorite. Sent the other 2 back and ordered 4 more of this one. Nice depth to the seat- some barstools hit us mid-thigh, this hit us closer to the knees. We like the less shiny finish on this base- looks like stainless steel rather than the shiny chrome of others. The angle of the back of the seat is perfect for us- provides support without pushing forward. This stool also tucks nicely into the kitchen island when not in use.
This is a perfect compliment to our brushed stainless steel kitchen appliances. The white vinyl is practical but looks like leather and matches our white leather furniture. If you are looking for a bar stool that is both comfortable and looks good, look no further!
Stools were delivered as promised. Easy to assemble and are very comfortable. Lookg great in our new kitchen..
I shopped for barstools over two month, so I knew what I was buying. Only shipper and faster. They told to expect the product in about 10 days and I received them 3 days after the order day. Assembly was so easy that my 10 years old helped.
Did a lot of looking for a replacement for our counter height stools that we've had for 15 years. These chairs are sturdy, easily adjustable, look great, have a brushed steel look instead of chrome (good for not showing cat hair), and are comfortable. Highly recommended.
Just what I wanted. Stools are sturdy, and the brushed steel bases match all the brushed steel finishes in my kitchen. Stools were a snap to assemble and tools came with them.
Ordered just one of these bar stools for my bar to make sure it was the quality product I wanted. Assembly was a breeze and the quality was very good. Overall very stylish bar stools, definitely will be ordering more of these stools for my bar.
I loved how so many people loved this chair and said it was so comfortable, so that's why I bought it. We needed 4 four our new island in the kitchen and since there's a big TV up on the wall (and we'd be watching movies there as well, no doubt) I wanted chairs that were comfortable, that swiveled, and that were adjustable (up and down). The one thing that SUPER BUGS ME is that we have them on a tile floor, and the bottoms of the chairs come with a plastic "ring" underneath to protect the floors when you pull the chair out but the ring keeps slipping off and I have to keep laying the chair down, push the ring back on, then pick the chair up. (Although when I do this its also a good time to pour out the crumbs from my husband's chair since the little indentations from the buttons collect crumbs!) Also, I WISH this chair was leather because the material feels a little cheap, but its a great chair (oh and its in the sun but I don't see any fading in the last few months we've owned the dark brown ones).
I love my new counter stools! They came quickly, were SUPER easy to assemble and have help up very well for the past month. I will say I LOVE them and my husband does not. He says the seat is to small for him. I think the seat is about 1 inch to short for his leg bend to the foot rest. For the quality and look, I am really ok with it. The kids and I love them as they swirl in all directions. I need one more though!
These are a big hit at the counter. My two school-aged sons sit there to do their homework, so comfort was a must. They love the swivel function, of course! Very comfortable and the gas lift works well enough. Would definitely recommend.

Healthy eating in LA
- h
- hungrygirl106 Feb 22, 2007 07:34 AM
Where do all y'all like to eat out in LA when watching your calories? Any good suggestions about places and/or dishes you like when you're keeping it healthful?
re: westsidegal
What do you recommend ordering?
re: hungrygirl106
At The Spot in Hermosa, the Spot Chef salad with Tahini dressing and lots of extra warm savory sauce on the side.
At Shamshiri, they make an unbelievably tasty lamb fesenjan ... that's pureed walnut/pomegranate sauce with a lamb shank. A really healthy appetizer option is the panir al sabhzi, which is a bunch of fresh herbs, delicious feta, walnuts and pita... sounds basic but so worth it (sprinkle the red sumac powder on it). For dessert though, you have to have the rose ice cream.
re: Cinnamon
that lamb fesenjan at shamshiri is VERY caloric, WELL over a thousand calories for the dish.
their vegetarian ghormeh sabzi, though, is much more calorically reasonable--especially if you can control yourself around the rice and bread with which it is served.
re: Cinnamon
I LOVE the Spot's Mexican sauce. I'm a die-hard carnivore, but I always go back for their enchiladas.
re: EliseT
next time have them douse your food with the mexican sauce AND get their salsa on the side.
re: westsidegal
I'm partial to the Dear Bubba. I basically can't order anything else. It sounds boring, but it's great. Collards, beans (I get pinto), brown rice, with their savory sauce, salsa, and cornbread. The cornbread is a little dry and not sweet enough, but is reasonably palatable with some honey on it.
All that said, I would not recommend this place to someone who doesn't like kinda boring 70s style veg food. I took the gf there yesterday because we were in the South Bay, and she hated it (granted, that's the reason I've avoided taking her there before). I should have given her a warning against ordering anything Mexican on the menu - she got the tacos and didn't like them at all.
re: hungrygirl106
at ayara thai cuisine they have a whole portion of the menu called 'from the wok.'
i'd order anything from that portion and have them make it with tofu. if you order the prik king tell them you want them to make it 'easy on the oil'
at thai boom, my two favorites are:
the green mango salad made with steamed tofu
pla prik pao made with steamed tofu and ordered "easy on the oil"
both these restaurants will be happy to serve brown rice instead of white rice (much healthier).
re: westsidegal
Keep in mind that anything stir fried, even vegetables, is usually dropped into the deep frying oil for just a few seconds.
re: westsidegal
Persian food, healthy?!? oh nononono. the only thing that would fit that description is the sabzi (fresh herbs) as an appetizer. Fesenjan is one of the heaviest persian dishes that is practically all pureed walnuts. Yes, nuts are healthy, but that doesn't mean more nuts are healthier.
If anything, ask for white meat chicken kabob ("chicken barg") and ask for NO butter. A lot of dishes in restaurants have clarified butter (ghee) dribbled over and brushed over everything to make it extra tasty. Control yourself with the rice (I know, it's hard) or ask to swap with a green salad.
*Sashimi at Sushi Gen in downtown, or Z's in Alhambra
*The butterfish with sizzling soy dressing dish at Roy's. I ask for extra veggies and no rice.
*At almost any Greek place: chicken kebob, no rice or pita, with tabbouleh and hummus.
*If I'm eating fancy, I'll get a rare filet mignon with a side of steamed spinach.
*Extra spicy tuna roll box from Famima!! (they have nutritional info on all their prepackaged foods). Oh and their almond tofu is a good, lo-cal dessert.
*The Eggs from Hell from Coffee Table in Eagle Rock, but I ask for egg whites only, and easy cheese and no potatoes. It's just a very spicy eggwhite scramble with black beans, salsa and one tortilla.
*I can usually find pretty healthy soup (non creamy) at various lunch spots, so that and a side salad is satisfying.
*Lots of places have healthy salads - just ask for the dressing on the side. Favorite salad places include Daily Grill, Granville Cafe in Burbank, and lots of cafes (names escape me at the moment) in the downtown area that specialize in salads.

re: mechugena
I've always wanted to try it..are there a lot of nuts and peanuts?
I second Real Food Daily and The Spot. As far as veg places, Native Foods is mostly higher fat stuff, but I like their macrobiotic bowl. M Cafe de Chaya (macro place on Melrose) is decent... mostly vegetarian, but a lot of fish options too. I'm not sure how low-fat their desserts are, but they're pretty good.
re: will47
I am obsessed with M Cafe -- love, love, love it.
re: will47
at least their bowls (my personal favorite is the rockin' morrocan) are portion controlled.
I like M Cafe de Chaya lot because the food actually tastes good, but it makes no claims to be low-fat, low-cal or low-sugar for that matter. Many of the dressings are quite oily, and the barbecue seitan sandwich is quite tasty but must have about 1000 calories. I love this place but let the eater beware.
re: Chowpatty
Chowpatty, you are absolutely right about M Cafe. It may be more healthful than other places, but it's still got the potential to be a calorie-fest. When I'm being "good," I order the teriyaki bowl with steamed vegetables and either black cod or salmon. I measured the contents of the bowl at home and found that the dish breaks down to 1 cup of brown rice, 2 to 2.5 ounces of fish, and the rest is the steamed veggies, which I did not measure. So if nothing else, I know that particular item is a good choice. Meanwhile, I also love their spicy kale salad, which probably isn't as low-cal and low-fat....
Daichan in Studio City (same little plaza as Nozawa) has many very healthy dishes. Last night I had salmon "kawachi" which was a nice piece of salmon in a sweet/sour vinegar sauce topped with cabbage, scallions, tons of that delicious pink pickled ginger, lettuce, radish. This came in its own large bowl, with a separate bowl of rice (I chose brown rice for an extra buck), cold steamed carrots and green beans, shredded green cabbage, and a little of the cold Japanese spaghetti w/mayo (which you don't have to eat if you're really watching it). It was extremely delicious and satisfying and a lot of food for about $10.
re: Debbie W
Sounds great. Does anybody know of a place on the other side of the hill (ideally West Hollywood-ish) that offers something similar?
Gelson's (deli salads (watch out for mayo tho), fresh carved turkey breast, etc.)
Fish King (they'll grill any fish they've got and although they typically do slather on lemon-butter or teriyaki, I ask that it be grilled w/ olive oil only and they're happy to do it. I usually do a half pound each of wild salmon and either ono, snapper or tilapia.)
When I'm trying to eat healthy my diet usually centers around protein and fruit. (And caffeine.)
re: cobalt
Where is Fish King?
re: hungrygirl106
maybe he means King's Fish House?
re: mechugena
Either way, where is that?
re: hungrygirl106
Fish King is a GREAT fish market in Glendale, with a little 'galley' off to the side where they sell prepared food. Their prepared salads aren't nearly as good as those at Gelsons but they do have a calamari salad that isn't bad, and an octopus salad that is killer.
They have chunks of various sashimi grade fish too if you like to slice your own to add to a salad or whatever.
California Chicken Cafe/Koo Koo Roos (generally rotisserie chicken is not bad)
Wendy's for salad & small chili
Sushi or salad
In N Out cheeseburger meal (only 600 calories with diet soda, but there is high saturated fat, better than other burger joints)
Corner Bakery (over 1000 calories for salad and more than 100% of your daily saturated fat!)
re: WHills
I've never heard of Corner Bakery (good thing because I can only imagine a 1000 calorie salad would be vile) but I would think Souplantation would be the worst option -- way too easy to overeat. I mean, there are, literally, buckets of chocolate pudding at that counter.
re: hungrygirl106
Yes, I was shocked about Corner Bakery also until I ran into this site: http://www.calorie-count.com/calories....
It's really terrible for you, and you would never suspect it either.
check out the Mustard Seed Cafe on Hillhurst in Los Feliz. They have some tasty salads, and everything I've ever had there always tastes very fresh, which makes me feel healthier.
Jack Sprats at Overland and Pico in West LA or Tender Greens (http://www.tendergreensfood.com/) or the Newsroom Cafe on Robertson (and I think that Eddie opened up another one in Santa Monica as well).
The Firehouse in Venice is a place where a lot of people go post Golds Gym workout. Most of the regulars there are on diets, and the menu reflects that i.e. egg whites cooked with no oil or salt, as are the steaks and chicken breasts and pancakes. They offer something I like the "Buffalo Scramble" which is Buffalo, egg whties, cilantro, and tomatoes (it's not seasoned with anything).
For carbs they offer sweet potato, baked potato, rice, steamed broc all prepared bare bones.
They also have other items for the days when you aren't watching the diet (you need one of those now and then).
When I know I have to load up on carbs, I get the blueberry buckwheat pancakes.
based on your positive opinion of m cafe (which i also like very much), i would add 2 more places that i do not believe have been mentioned:
axe in venice
ammo on highland (near sanata monica blvd.
When I'm trying to be "good" I usually order:
Steamed mussels or clams with a side salad - most bistros have this
Grilled fish (or any seafood for that matter!) - anywhere!
A side of carne asada with or pollo asado with a salad - any taco joint
A turkey burger with no bun (When I'm trying to be healthy I try to keep my carbs down but you could probably have the bun if you're not a carb-watcher)
Sashimi with seaweed salad or octopus salad - any sushi place
Tom Yum soups - any Thai joint
Egg-white scramble with chicken breast, mushrooms, feta etc - my favourite is at the Brickhouse Kitchen in Venice
Chicken barg kabob or beef barg kabob with no bread or rice, side of shirazi salad - any Persian place, I usually order from Tajrish in MDR because they deliver
Sorry I'm not more specific about actual restaurants but I eat all over the place and these are all pretty easy to find options.
I love Tom Yum soup with shrimp! Very healthy, too. In my neighborhood I like it best from Simply Thai on Hillhurst - great mushrooms and shrimp.
I eat at all the places I love, but I control the portions. Doing that and exercising has helped me lose a lot of weight over the last two years. Depriving yourself of food you like will only lead to colossal disasters down the road when you rebel against your strict, fun-less diet and decide that you're depriving yourself of the things in life that you love. So, skimp calories on the foods that don't matter much to you and keep enjoying the foods that you love within reason. For example, I cut out the cookie that I got in the cafeteria everyday at lunch that was OK, but was hardly memorable. That saved me 150 calories a day or so. I don't miss that cookie at all. But I still eat the tamales, queso fundido, bread, etc. that I love.
re: hungrygirl106
We eat out often, too. You just have to choose wisely, and sometimes special request the kitchen to prepare dishes. For example, always have them hold the salad dressing to the side; ask for no or less MSG; ask for wheat instead of white. Some dishes can be deceiving; for example, tuna salad with its mayo is quite heavy, so unless it's a salad with tuna on top, avoid.
For the westside, good places include Joan's on Third, The Farm, Coral Tree Cafe. Even with fine dining places like LaCachette and Angelini Osteria (yes, great fish and salads!) offer healthy choices. Chains like Grand Luxe Cafe might be even better because they offer a wider variety for everyone to choose from. Good luck and happy eating!
re: chica
I agree with Chica, it's all about making smarter choices at the places you love. That way, you still get to enjoy the experience of dining in your fave spots without wreaking havoc on your waistline. Everywhere (with the possible exception of sportsbar type joints) has at least a couple of healthy options!
I always love hugos -- they do incredible things with mung beans -- but I would watch for the portion size.
Also, Toast -- they have great salads (ask for the dressing on the side).
Just spent a day in LA last summer, and found a surprisingly great spot in a mall area in Manhattan Beach, called LA Food Show. I got a tuna burger, which came with a side of broccoli, which turned out to be an entire head, steamed! Not too expensive, and definitely a lot of healthy options. Not sure how the dinner options would be, but for lunch it was fantastic considering we weren't expecting anything special!
Probably a few repeaters, but here goes...
Sashimi or cut rolls made w/o rice (yes they'll do it... even at Nobu... and I prefer soy paper to nori)
Shabu Shabu if you don't have the rice or junkier sauces
Newsroom Cafe
California Chicken Cafe or Koo Koo Roo for no frills chicken and sides
Eduardo's/La Salsa/Baja for quick sides of charbroiled chicken mixed w/ heaps of salsa for flavor
Ralph's salad bar or Gelson's or Whole Foods
Fritto Misto for pasta sauces w/ veggies subbed for pasta
Cha Cha Cha's grilled veggie salad w/ shrimp
Ruth's Chris for a lobster and steamed side dishes and a wedge salad w/o cheese
Catch 21 for healthy fish
Mao's Kitchen for Chinese
Uncle Chen's in Encino for customized chinese w/ or w/o sugar, oil, cornstarch, salt (love their garlic eggplant w/ chicken and/or shrimp and/or scallops)
Kung Pao Bistro is accomodating
Jack Spratt's Grille
Eat Well for omelettes and salads
Mongolian BBQ w/o noodles or oil, and I get them to clean the grill first (they have to do it every so often anyhoo)
Delmonico's for blackened shrimp and a pile of steamed spinach and/or ceviche
CPK for salads w/o the junk and vinegar or their FF dressing on the side
Sisley for the Chopped salad sans cheese and the grilled veggie app sans oil
Family likes Tony Romas for chicken and a baked potato (and if you get the veggies you have to specify no butter or they come drenched)
Maria's for Chicken Primavera (no oil) and the chopped salad w/o cheese
Jerry's for egg white omelettes (the only thing they do well and clean)
re: Emme
for mongolian bbq, my favorite place is BIG WOK on sepulveda in manhattan beach. unlike some of the other places, they don't try to make you add any pasta, nor do they limit the amount/proportion of tofu that you can have.
also, despite what their menu says, it is all-you-can-eat at every meal. this allows me to have an all-veggie second course that causes the meal to fill me up well past dinner time.
re: westsidegal
One option at Mexican/Salvadoran places is a large soup, cocida, sopa de pollo, shrimp, fish, etc. Filled with broth, lots of veggies and you don't have to eat the rice of tortillas that usually comes with it. In Salvadoran places I ask for the chicken to be served separately and ask for a breast, they're usually more than happy to oblige. Soup fills you up!
Superbowl's Pho Tai for dinner. They have the least greasy pho in the San Gabriel Valley. I always finish the soup and vegatables before eating all of the noodles. I also eat at Zankou too. Usually a roast chicken sandwich or half of the 1/4 white plate.
I have a salad under 400 calories from Trader Joe's for lunch. Breakfast - oatmeal in vanilla soymilk. You will lose weight and save money eating this stuff!

- A huge-brimmed glass contained the drink, which was topped with a very generous portion of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry, which I promptly lost in the swirling foam of rum and coconut and never saw again.

Milliken Creek Inn is beautiful, well appointed, and the staff is outstanding. It's a wee bit on the pricey side, hence the 3 stars for the Value. The coffee made it worth the price; just think of it as a couple trips to Starbucks, only the coffee at Milliken is much better. We'd stay at Milliken again for sure (especially if I found a deal ;)

My original goal was to run the 13K shore to shore race across the Bruce Peninsula in August 2011 and get that off my 'before I turn 50' bucket list. DONE! in 1:17:46 Finished the season with my first half marathon 2:15 I survived the Warrior Dash 2012.
Revised goal: Get Met Con Blue off the list of races to do. Registered for June 14th in the 10:30 heat. Finish a race in Ireland April 2014
Dailymile makes it easy to keep track of your workouts. Map your routes and share with a community of active people.
Should have selected a stretch of road with some shade! Was forced to walk part of the way because of the heat/sun. Was pleased that I didnt allow myself to hang a right on George street to cut my run short. Had planned on doing 13K but my ankles were starting to complain, I was barely prespiring and I was feeling a chill coming on. Time to pay attention to the signs of dehydration. Longest run this season for me so I'll be happy with that even if my time wasn't all that great. Now what shall I do with the rest of my day? :-)

By Emily Van Cleve
Read the original article here.
By 11 a.m. one recent morning, La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa's art curator Sara Eyestone had done a full day's work.
"I've sold four paintings this morning," she said after ending a call with a client. "In the past four years that I've been art curator at La Posada, we've had three-quarter of a million dollars in sales."
While La Posada has been inviting artists to exhibit their work for decades, other Santa Fe area hotels have developed an arts presence recently, with the Inn and Spa at Loretto actually installing artists at work on their pieces in the hotel's lobby this year.
At La Posada, it wasn't until Eyestone came on board that art has become a thriving business there.
"Before I came here, galleries were invited to show their art, but it wasn't working very well," said Eyestone, who is also a painter. "I proposed to hotel management that I wanted to capture the glory days years ago, when artists painted in the hotel's gardens. Many of the artists we represent today come here to paint. I frequently paint by the fireplaces in the living room and the library."
Paintings are visible on most walls in public areas. With work by 49 artists from around the country hanging in the bar, restaurant, library and throughout the hallways, it's hard to find a solid white wall in the main building.
The business side of La Posada's art is run with the efficiency of a well-established gallery. Artists agree to an exclusive relationship with the hotel, meaning that they do not sell their work at any other venue in town. Eyestone displays everything in the hotel's art inventory. Many of the sales take place after guests or visitors have left town.
"They either contact me months later with inquiries about particular artists that caught their eye or they return and rediscover an artist that they begin to collect," she said.
Paintings are offered at "studio" prices. "Our artists' paintings sell for twice as much in galleries in other cities," said Eyestone, who added that La Posada takes a small percentage of the selling price but wouldn't say how much.
Landscapes, figurative work and still lifes sell well at the hotel, but abstract work does not. Eyestone said that more than 400 artists are on a waiting list to have their work shown there.
Early in the year, the Inn and Spa at Loretto decided to invite artists who are represented by galleries in town to show their work and do demonstrations in the inn's lobby.
"At first, we hosted artists once or twice a month," said the Inn and Spa at Loretto's director of sales and marketing Dana Ortega. "The program has evolved so much in the past several months. Since July, we've had artists working in the lobby four times a week for four hours at a time."
The inn's management cleared out the furniture in a section of the lobby, upgraded the lighting and made room for jewelers, painters and sculptors to share the artistic process with inn guests.
"It costs us money to run our artist-in-residence program," Ortega said. "We dedicate space to the artwork, and we have to maintain that space. We take the time to answer phone calls about the art and the artists. When an artist or gallery sells a piece, we don't take a cent of the sales price."
Ortega said that the inn's intent in starting the artist-in-residence program was never to make money. "We want to provide our guests with the opportunity to walk right up to an artist and have the experience of connecting with them," she added. "We've had lots of good feedback from our guests. They love it."
According to landscape painter Margi Lucena, whose work is represented by Selby Fleetwood Gallery on Canyon Road, being an artist-in-residence has meant expanding her client base.
"It's absolutely helped to be part of the program," said Lucena, who lives and works in Socorro. "Sometimes people go to Selby Fleetwood after they watch me paint. Every time I'm there, and I've been there once a month since early in the year, people come up and talk with me. I like the contact. Some artists might not."
Sculptor and goldsmith Larry Stark spent four days working at the Inn and Spa at Loretto at the end of August. A resident of California, his work is represented by Wiford Gallery on Canyon Road.
"Over the course of the four days, a fair amount of people stopped by," he said. "I met all kinds of people. I saw some of my collectors and people who collect work from Wiford Gallery. I like showing people what I do. It worked for me."
Enhancing their guests' experience is the reason that Bishop's Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa displays two- and three-dimensional artworks of 30 to 50 deceased and living artists throughout the property, said managing director Rich Verruni.
"We have a variety of work, from landscapes to horse stuff and Native American art," he said. "Some of the work has a religious nature."
Bishop's Lodge works out business relationships with artists on a case-by-case basis. The management does not take a percentage of sales but has talked with artists about making some kind of donation to a nonprofit group the lodge supports.
Several months ago, Bishop's Lodge decided to expand its art offerings and create a photographic gallery on the property. A call to artists has been posted on its website.
"We're planning to select one photographer to show work here for a six-month period of time," Verruni explained. "We're open to a variety of subject matter that works with an historic lodge, so it will be interesting to see what submissions we get."

Howdy y'all! I'm Cadillac. I'm a 16 year-old Draft cross Mare, which means I'm a girl horse. People often say I'm Chestnut because of my color, but that really just makes me hungry for chestnuts.
I got the name Cadillac because I ride like one – smooth! Not to mention, Cadillacs are usually good-looking cars and, well, I'm a good-looking horse. As much as I love riding with Bishop's Lodge guests, it also feels good to get back to my home at the stables so I tend to pick up the pace on the last leg of my rides.
If you're an intermediate rider looking for an adventure, call my friends at (505) 819-4013 to schedule a ride with me!
Fun fact: my favorite song is Cowboy Cadillac by Chris Ledoux

In addition to the GPS, a guide will accompany each group on the course to keep you in the right direction.
The cost is only $50 per person and includes guided hunt, beverages, children's treasures and souvenir water bottle for each participant. Bishop's Lodge to take reservations and collect payment.

Howdy partners! My name is Famous Shoes, or as some of you long-time Bishop's Lodge stables fans may call me, River. Technically I don't wear shoes, but I do have hooves, although you won't see them on TV or anything, despite my name.
I'm a ten year-old black and white paint but just because I have white spots like a cow doesn't mean I'm a cow. For instance, I don't "moo," I prefer the sound "neeeigh."
I'm good friends with the other horses but my best buddy is Jeff, the stables manager. I often give him rides so we have the opportunity to spend a lot of time together. Plus, he feeds me so that always helps.
Next time you're at the stables be sure to stop and say "hi." Hey, maybe I'll even say "hello" back!

What a week we had at Bishop's Lodge! On Thursday and Sunday, several of us prepped for our small-screen debuts in a Bishop's Lodge television commercial shoot. Then, on Saturday, we hosted our first Cowboy Cookout of the season!
Preparation for the TV commercial shoot called for an early morning last Thursday as we started our day well before the sun had risen. With all that Bishop's Lodge has to offer, it wasn't easy capturing every activity and amenity in one day. While our schedule called for one day of shooting, we ended up filming on Sunday in order to make sure we got every shot.
It's a shame the Cowboy Cookout didn't make the cut – everything was picturesque. We were lucky enough to enjoy beautiful Memorial Day weekend weather, our guests had a blast dancing to The Buffalo Nickel Band and Chef Christopher McLean completely outdid himself. The BBQ ribs were one of the biggest hits of the night!
Be on the lookout for Bishop's Lodge on TV June 6th and if you missed our first Cowboy Cookout, don't fret – we've got one coming up this Friday and another on Sunday, July 1.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - State health officials met with federal investigators to discuss allegations the state is violating federal law by unnecessarily warehousing hundreds of children with disabilities in nursing homes.
Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Liz Dudek said her staff called the children's parents and found that 14 percent were interested in exploring home care options. But only one percent wanted to move the child back home after receiving more information.
Her staff met with Department of Justice officials Thursday.
Dudek says the state pays for all medically necessary services for children and that parents ultimately decide whether to place the child in a nursing home.
Parents say they have no other option because the state has slashed in-homes services including nursing care for critically ill children on ventilators and feeding tubes.

Shakta aka Seb Taylor needs no introduction. Since 1995 he has been taking this scene in force with his powerful, rhythmic, acidic old school goa-trance & ambient under different names… Shakta, Somaton, Digitalis, Kaya Project, Hibernation,…!
Shakta and Suntrip is a long story: 7 years ago we would have damned ourselves to see him onboard one of our releases...so one day he'd been booked in a party organized by friends of us, we chatted with him and explained we were preparing the "Opus Iridium" compilation and that we would be really, REALLY grateful if he'd be willing to participate on it. The answer was no: busy, recently married...life. But at the end of the night, he'd been so happy with the crowd's response and the party that he'd changed his mind!
Hence the superb "Ten Spins Around The Sun" track was released on "Opus Iridium".
A couple of years layer, he was back on our "Temple of Chaos" compilation in a collaboration with Moonweed, another excellent oldschool UK artist.
Needless to say this is with delight and pride that we are presenting a full lenght Shakta album today: "Retroscape"
Many of his fabulous 90s tracks were released only on vinyl or rare compilations, and some never saw the light on a regular release. Because of that we decided to gather the best of those tracks and remaster them!
The result is mind blowing. Eleven Shakta & Somaton tracks of which two were never released before! The remastering also made sure that the "old" and sometimes rather bad or muddy sound got upgraded to modern standards, which makes sure the tracks will be hits even on today's dance floors!
During the big Goa-revival last year, Shakta tested all the tracks on many Suntrip parties and big festivals such as SUN Festival, and the result was astonishing. There is clearly no expiry date on good music! The past is the future!
You are now invited to listen to the extracts on the release page :)
The summer is over. How great it was! Lots of exhilarating festivals and travels we did... But now back to reality! First, the most important news! Here are the 2 releases for the next months!
Goasia is a versatile and widely appreciated Serbo-Croatian duo who spreads powerful vibes all around the world.
Just a quick word to tell the Connection Festival 2014 website website has just been refreshed.
You can now find all the details on the venue and how to organize your trip peacefully.
With 5 days of great music inclusing some of the best Goa artists worldwide, in a wonderful location (El Batán de las Monjas, San Nicolás del Puerto, near Sevilla, Spain), the Connection Festival is the place to be to celebrate the end of the summer and connect with each other!
Connection Festival 2014 is almost here; in just 6 weeks from now you'll be able to celebrate the end of the summer and connect with all the people whilst enjoying the wonderful music of all these great artists !!
Let's do a magic Connection 2014!!! Let's Connect the World!!!
Like many other Boom ambassadors, we're receiving several calls every day from people asking for Boom Festival tickets.
Unfortunately, the Phase 3 pre-sales ended on June 26th and, since that, the Boom itself announced the Boom was sold-out, meaning there wouldn't even be tickets at the gate.
Your only chance now is to check on forums or marketplaces like eBay.
Remember, no name is written on physical tickets, so as long at the ticket still has the "gate control ticken" on the left side, they may change hands freely.
For e-tickets and friendly/social physical tickets, you are allowed to change the name written on it until July 31st, by following this procedure.
There's only 300 copies of 'Epoch of the Terrans', and you can find it on our shop, and within a few days on the main digital platforms.
Connection Festival 2014 is almost here, in just 100 days from now you'll be able to enjoy the wonderful music of
Boom Festival is a creative platform that involves everyone in a spirit of respect, justice, humility, devotion and collaborative work.
Boom Festival have invited Filteria and Nebula Meltdown to play this year! And they have chosen Suntrip to be their Ambassadors in Belgium.
Out of the 3 presale phases, 2 are already complete and the third phase is ending on June 26th, in less than a week rom now. So we wanted to remind you in case you had forgotten. There something else pretty important: we STILL have a few Boom Bus tickets from Madrid or Lisbon from arrivals on the 3rd or 4th of August. We got a few calls asking if they're actually available. Well, as long as you can order them on our site, it means we have some stock!!
For those of you living in Belgium, just purchase your tickets here in our webshop! Other countries of origin are accepted too naturally (especially Netherlands and Luxembourg which have no ambassador).
IMPORTANT: You can't come knocking to our address in Gent, it's our office, not a shop.
In case of questions, please submit them to email@example.com. Note that you'll have to pay the paypal fees (3.4% + 0.35€ for BE) if you're paying via Paypal or Credit Card. There's no fee if you're paying via bank transfer (most of you in BE).
All other details are on the Boom Website.

About Mary Liechty
Looking for good picture. Two brothers and their wives enjoy traveling together and so we bought this to continue the fun.
Why Mary Liechty chose Breckenridge
We wanted to find a location that could offer us the best of what Colorado has to offer. We looked around and determined that for the price overall that Breckenridge had the best mountain to ski on (big enough not to get bored and snowboarder friendly) and the summer activities are almost endless. These made our decision much easier. The size of our home is large enough for our own family to enjoy even as our children grow and marry bringing grandchildren to enjoy the blessings with us as well.
What makes this house unique
Big enough for family reunions, small weddings, and or multiple family get aways.
Guestbook comments from the manager
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! We absolutely LOVED Breckenridge and felt firght at home relaxing in the evenings. It was such a welcome respite from the hote Texas sun!!! Our family of 11 fit beautifully! Thanks again.

Market reforms that permit private sector participation and competition in the natural gas industry directly promote growth in international trade in services, reports the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) in its publication Natural Gas Services: Recent Reforms in Selected Markets.
The ITC, an independent, nonpartisan, factfinding federal agency, completed the investigation at the request of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). The ITC report examines the nature and extent of natural gas industry reforms in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Korea, Japan, Mexico, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Following are highlights of the report.
Natural Gas Services: Recent Reforms in Selected Markets (Investigation No. 332-426, USITC publication 3458, October 2001) will be posted in the Publications area of the ITC Internet site at www.usitc.gov. A printed copy may be requested by calling 202-205-1809 or by writing the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW, Washington, DC, 20436. Requests may also be made by fax to 202-205-2104.
ITC general factfinding investigations, such as this one, cover matters related to tariffs or trade. The investigations are generally conducted at the request of USTR, the Senate Committee on Finance, or the House Committee on Ways and Means; the ITC may also self-initiate investigations. The resulting reports convey the Commission's objective findings and independent analyses on the subjects investigated. The Commission makes no recommendations on policy or other matters in its general factfinding reports. Upon completion of each investigation, the ITC submits its findings and analyses to the requester. General factfinding investigation reports are subsequently released to the public, unless they are classified by the requester for national security reasons.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Residents of Nevada's historic Comstock
district are fighting plans by a mining company to temporarily use
a state highway to haul truckloads of ore from a mine to a
processing site near Virginia City.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports Comstock Mining Inc. plans to use a mile-long stretch of State Highway 342 near Gold Hill for truck traffic between the two sites.
That plan was made after a dispute arose between the company and
the BLM over land previously used by the company to connect the
Company officials say use of the highway would be temporary
until the dispute is resolved.
Storey County commissioners will consider the company's highway
plan Thursday at 6PM at the Storey County courthouse.
Opponents say big, heavy trucks on the winding road will be a
safety hazard and impede tourism.
