4 days of exercise in a row!
This morning I didn't work out, and I'd been getting it right out of the way within the first couple hours of getting up the last few days. I almost talked myself out of doing any, but I set aside the excuses and tried a couple new exercise videos on HASfit.com , after one of my sparkteam mates mentioned she uses their videos. I decided I will start a 30 day challenge program that they have over there, tomorrow: hasfit.com/30-day-fitness-challenge-exercise-program-workout-plan-to-get-in-shape/
Eating has been pretty good, I went a bit overboard last night, but have been very disciplined today. I'm cooking a new recipe tonight, and I've even already tracked it. Planning ahead is a big step, I haven't tracked much before I've eaten it in a while. I've gone on a big green tea-drinking kick, I'm not sure why but it's just been very tasty to me this week!
Feeling better, doing better!
Feel better, do better. Do better, feel better.
This one is a cycle, which I know is true. I feel better when I do better, and when I feel better, I want to do even better! Drinking water, getting exercise, getting my eating under control!!!
That's been so ridiculously tough for me, just to eat reasonably.
The second mantra: Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
It's kind of a metaphor, but my kitchen floor has been filthy dirty for weeks now, and it just keeps getting worse. Every time I notice it, I think ugh, I have to get this floor scrubbed!! Then I think first I need to sweep, and move the trash bins and microwave cart out of the way, then get the mop out, then let some spots soak a bit because it's just that gross, then I feel like I need to scrub the grout lines since they're really grubby too..... on and on, and it just feels like too huge of a pain in the butt to even just sweep the floor! Or sometimes I'll sweep up and feel like that's better than nothing. Which it is.
So last night, I was cooking dinner, and I just finally had it with looking at that dirty floor! I grabbed a few washcloths, soaked them in water and a little dish soap, and dropped them on a few stubborn spots. I got a small start at chipping away at that stupid big task, and I feel so much better about it. I probably got less than a quarter of the floor washed last night, but hey, a little progress is good.
I've been similarly chipping away at getting back on track with my weight loss goal. I haven't made downward progress in months, but I've thought about it every freaking day, just like noticing that dirty floor. I've been pretty good about drinking water, I've exercised some probably 4 out of the last 7 days. A little progress is good.
I have been stuck in a terrible cycle of binging, beating myself up for it, feeling stressed over it, and doing it some more. I've tried getting out of it any number of times, probably the majority of mornings I think, today I can break the cycle and do better. Then, I simply don't. I can't put my finger on why I think eating whatever whenever feels better in the short term than getting myself under control and out from under the awful guilt I'm imposing upon myself for this behavior. I've done some exercise some days, I've fallen into and back out of the habit of drinking lots of water. The only consistent thing is I'm eating, eating, eating.
I feel like a failure, constantly reporting more slip-up than success, so I've been very quiet on spark lately. I don't even want to track my weight, since it's up from where I had decided I was starting over again, 2 weeks, two months, two days ago. Sigh. That's not productive, either. I'm so irritated with myself!
The dress I had planned on losing weight to fit into to wear for my wedding feels more like a millstone now, another contributor to the guilt and shame I am feeling. I go back and forth between thinking, screw it, I'll just get a different dress, and, NO, don't do that, just get your ass in gear, you still have time!
This has to stop. I'm starting to feel the familiar aches and pains that accompany my body at this higher weight, that go away altogether if I'm even 5 pounds lighter. This isn't a vanity thing. This isn't a loathe yourself you'd be a better person if you were smaller thing.
This is an I need to love myself thing. Enough to care more for my health than whatever tasty oversize pile of morsels I feel like stuffing myself with. I need to move on from this pattern, forgive my poor choices, and do things that are loving for myself, my health and my body.
Today, I'm so sick of it! Enough is enough is enough. I'm planning to track my eating today, that's always a good start. I've done a bit of exercise already, and have been generally trying to avoid sitting too long at a stretch. Alright, hitting post and getting on with it before I lose my nerve.
What a slog this week has been so far! I was overly concerned with the scale, and thankfully it finally moved, but not by much. I am working on this phase 2 thing, and will get back to my workout routine tomorrow. Chris has been home the last 3 days, and I didn't want to kick him out of the living room to do my workout, or move my stuff upstairs. Kind of a lazy excuse, but we turned the house upside down cleaning and reorganizing today, so that was a lot of work and I counted it as my fitness minutes.
I've caved in to temptation on a couple of "off limits" foods according to this diet plan, but I definitely exercised moderation and it hasn't hurt my progress at all. That was a great feeling, knowing I didn't make an ideal choice, but still didn't derail myself altogether. I picked out a (non-food) reward for every 5 pounds I lose, and I'm really looking forward to the next one!
I'm feeling good about my progress this week, even though it's only halfway over. I've conquered a couple of the mental hurdles that can really make me quit caring about working on my health and weight loss, so that's a very positive thing!
The appeal of the south-beach diet for me, at first, were all the stories I'd read of the quick weight loss in the beginning. In that regard, it did not disappoint, I lost 6 pounds in the first 2 weeks. Pretty good! Over my 3rd week, wherein I've been reintroducing more foods into my diet, I've not lost any.
I'm glad I've been using the nutrition tracker! I've got some idea what to tweak to try and get the scale moving again. Not that a week with no change is really such cause for concern. I wasn't home for 4 days, and didn't have my morning weigh-in to assess what impact the food changes were having. So I'll keep working on it, and see what needs to change in order to keep losing.
I am seriously getting tempted by those white carbs though! Baked potatoes to go with dinner for my family last night, and I made bread this morning since we ran out. Oh, the mouthwatering oven-fresh home baked bread!!! That was rough, but I know better. It smelled good, and that's as far as I went. I'll definitely need to look up some whole-grain bread recipes, and pick up some new ingredients at my next grocery shopping trip.
I did the circuit training routine today and yesterday, it's so nice to get back into it. I thought my dad had some free weights I could work with while I was there, but he only had 2-pounders, not very helpful! I know I will only keep feeling better as I go along, getting stronger and better able to hit that workout!

In the white-stone bowels of the casbah, an Algerian woman of Islamic faith places a bomb in a crowded café. The patrons, who are French, mingle unknowingly, as an anticipation bordering on dread gathers within your chest; a moment later, the bomb goes off. To witness this naked act of terrorism in Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers, a movie that asks the audience to sympathize not with the murdered civilians but with the rebel bomber, is to confront how much the world has changed since 1965, when the film was originally released -- and also to realize, with a shudder, how much it has stayed the same. Nearly four decades ago, Pontecorvo anatomized the very form of modern terrorist warfare: the hidden cells, the cultish leaders, the brutish cycle of attack and counterattack. In moral terms, the situation he depicts is anything but parallel to the one that grips us today, yet his movie, which is being rereleased in select cities, casts an eerie shadow over a world rocked by the underground politics of fear and rage.
In the mid-'60s, Pontecorvo's raw, seismic vision of a Marxist uprising was all but unprecedented in its firebrand atmosphere of documentary realism. So intense was his restaging of the Algerian revolution of 1954-62 that the producers felt compelled to add a title explaining that the movie had used ''not one foot'' of newsreel footage. The film's lightning vérité form was really the incarnation of its message -- that revolution had arrived, here and now, as a wave of force that couldn't be stopped.
If you see ''The Battle of Algiers'' today, its unruly, headlong rush of ''objective'' style, potent as it is, no longer carries the same ring of this-is-really-happening authenticity. Blasphemous as it may be to say in cinema-buff circles, the film has been far surpassed, in technique and execution, by any number of the movies it has influenced -- by the hair-trigger anxiety of ''Salvador,'' the virtuoso chaos of ''Bloody Sunday.'' If there's a downside to Pontecorvo's method, it's his gray-zone emotional neutrality, which cuts off our involvement with any of the principals as characters. Still, you won't soon forget the face of Brahim Haggiag, who plays the revolutionary leader Ali as if he were channeling the misery of colonialism into a solitary stare of accusatory outrage.

More Trial Lawyers Behaving Badly
November 13, 2008
Two bigshot
The Disciplinary Board concluded that Baton Rouge trial bar kingpins E. Eric Guirard and his partner Thomas R. Pittenger set up a "business first format" that allowed non-lawyers to practice law, split legal settlements on a commission basis and created outrageous conflicts of interest between the law firm and its clients. Under this arrangement:
… the potential for harm to the clients, the public, the legal system and the profession is immeasurable. [Because of the actions of Mr. Guirard and Mr. Pittenger] the reputation of the profession and the legal system has been undoubtedly marred.
Here's how the scheme worked, according to the formal charges filed with the disciplinary office:
Calls to the Guirard law firm from prospective clients were given to non-lawyer case managers who dispatched investigators to visit the client and collect documentation of the claim. (Investigators returning with a signed legal contract were paid a bonus.) After a demand letter was sent to the defendant, the case manager was given a "high" and "low" range for negotiating a settlement within a specified period of time. If the case was settled, the case manager pocketed a commission – as high as 17% for some case managers. If the case had to be litigated, however, the case manager received zero.
This conflict of interest "created an overwhelming motive to settle a claim at any price before the case manager lost control" over the case – and, needless to say, put the financial interests of the law firm ahead of the interests of the clients.
Just as troubling, but somewhat more amusing, was the role Mr. Guirard and Mr. Pittenger reserved for themselves. After negotiating a settlement, the case manger would call the client and set up an appointment to pick up the check. That's where the law partners stepped in:
On occasion, Mr. Guirard meets with the client at the disbursement to hand the client a check, pose for photographs, and/or give the client some type of advertising material such as a t-shirt or a Frisbee.
Mr. Guirard told one newspaper, "We always have approached this as a business first and a law firm second." Putting legal case managers on a pay scheme more suited to used car salesman may have been good business, but it "unquestionably undermines the reputation of lawyers generally and the public's attitude toward the profession," wrote the Disciplinary Board. Given how low public esteem for lawyers already is, that's a pretty tough standard to meet.

This is how most business is conducted by trial lawyers. Why are Mr. Guirard and Mr. Pittenger being unfairly singled out?

I have several video's about my journey. 5 months ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
I have several video's about my journey. 5 months ago
Handling the rough cuts/shadow cuts right now. Shot in two locations, with one more to go. Hopefully that can be done in the next week or so.
Still have yet to do the animations/viz effects, as well as motion stabilizing/color correction. I really hope I have time to do this channel alongside freelance animation. :/ 5 months ago
I've tried this but it won't let me it only brings me to a stupid video that does nothing and doesn't talk ether I really wish I could but I can't aw man why not I don't know the phone/computer doesn't like me ugh 18 months ago
So far I have 2 videos broadcasted and I have about 5 not broadcasted yet. I have them about 2 months behind my real life. I'm releasing them slowly so that I always have video's to release.
I've made my first video's very raw and exposed so that I'm real, open, and honest with myself and my viewers which I don't have at the moment.
I hope overtime, I can transform before the camera, inside and outside in a way that is very inspiring to many people. 19 months ago
How I did it: I practiced a lot, to make sure I got the dance down. Then I picked an outfit that coordinated with the song. Then I recorded ! Recording with my laptop (iMovie) in a small room was pesky. I had to put two big books under my laptop to get a full view. Read how I did it… 20 months ago
First time on it and I have a voice like an angel 21 months ago
I made a accout like a username password and emailmand then I logged in but first I had to figure the word out at the bottom and then when I logged in I had to write a entry to help others log in to it but before I didmthis I had to answer some questions I did not do any downloading or anyhing like hat it was free 22 months ago

It's a word not often associated with attorneys and the practice of law. But for Lacy Katzen, passion is what distinguishes us from other firms and what drives us every day, in every interaction with every client.
It means that our attorneys are more than just accessible. We're a part of your business, a part of your team and sometimes a part of your family. It means that we are more than Rochester lawyers. We're in your neighborhood with offices that keep us close, convenient and inside the community.
And it means that we listen. We counsel. We advocate. And we represent—as only our years of experience allow, and as our successful outcomes prove.
Passion. It's a word that defines Lacy Katzen and everything we do.

Best Meme Ever
But then darling Schnozzalina took up the banner and waved it high! I'm so proud, sniff! How can I not play along? I can't not play along, I simply can't!
1. Share the worst photo of yourself you have, preferrably a reasonably current one.
This was a photo taken of me "sneezing" a year ago, so it is relatively recent. I say "sneezing" because it was a fake sneeze; I was with Anne and snapped a photo of her truly sneezing (or maybe it was coughing, I can't recall). I then felt so badly for doing it, I offered to have her snap me in return. Fake or not, the result is quite hideous. It really makes my accursed weak chin stand out and my embiggened nostrils quite ginormous--the two parts of my face besides my nose (always large so no big whoop) that I loathe. Oh, and let's not forget the temporary Double Chin Syndrome! Ta da!:
How hideous. On to the next part of the meme!
2. Share a current photo of yourself when you've just woken up. Walk into the bathroom and just take it, under the harsh bathroom lights.
This is me this morning. Again, note the weak chin, pronounced by the fact that I wore my mouth guard all night (which no, I did not keep in for the photo, SHUT UP, IT IS NOT CHEATING TO REMOVE IT!). I often will delete pictures based on my weak chin. Sigh. It ain't getting any stronger so I may as well resign myself to the fact that I have one but that won't stop me from bemoaning its existence! To all of you with normal to strong chins, rejoice in your gift!
Ack! How on earth Barrett can wake up next to that every morning is beyond me. And like Schnozz pointed out, the puffiness! Okay, let's move on, shall we?
3. Share the nicest photo of yourself that you have, again preferrably a current one.
We have about 20 gazillion photos on our two computers and I simply do not have the energy to go through them all. What comes to mind is a photo in a series of photos taken last September at a pub. We were with a group of friends and Barrett was taking photos by laying the camera on the table amidst all the beer glasses and just shooting. I really love the series taken of me--the amber color, the angle, and the fact that I almost don't look like myself in any of them. Oddly, I look like a cross between my mother and my mother's mother at my age. Here's my favorite:
Oh, if only one could be cast in a soft candlelight glow at all times! Sigh.
4. Special category--whatever you'd like! I will choose two photos that I do not like of myself, if for no other reason then to exorcise the Ugly Photo demon from my camera (I hope). Maybe if I offer these up as sacrifices, the camera will be nicer to me from hereafter.
This photo wins in the category of Cutest Kitten/Stupidest-Looking Human. I suppose I was attempting to show how adorable I felt this kitten was but instead ended up with the most simpering moue on my face. I just wanna bitchslap myself:
Lastly, I present Most Bucktoothed Eleven-Year Old in the Seventies Wearing A Really Bad Terrycloth Shirt, and I mean Really Really Bad. Feel free to click on it to really get a sense of the bucktoothedness in its full glory:
It's difficult, however, for me to hate this photo of myself, simply because we had so much fun with these two neighbor boys for many years of my childhood. Here's a bit of a celebrity trivia regarding this photo: the boy on the left, Derek, my first "boyfriend" (by which I mean we announced we were "going out" but that was about it), went on to become a neurosurgeon in Las Vegas--he was the surgeon that operated on and saved Roy Horn's brain a few years ago. You remember, Seigfried & Roy, Roy was mauled by a tiger, blah blah blah? Yep, my first boyfriend had his 15 minutes of fame! Here he is at a press conference around that time:
I miss those guys! Haven't seen them since I was a teenager. Good times in bad clothing indeed!
So now I wanna know: WHO'S NEXT? I tag everyone.
P. S. - If you do play along, please visit the aforementioned Schnozz's blog so she can add you to the master list of players!
