Judith Iadarola Caron
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, LMHC, CAGS
"As we rehearse our path in life we often find ourselves getting lost in yesterday. It is not what's going to happen that brings someone into a therapists office, it is often about what has already happened. And what has already shaped you is a combination of events beginning in your earliest stages of development along with accompanying negative coping skills that are no longer effective or needed. Surviving negative thoughts,accompaning pain, anger,depression, or simply dissatisfaction with one's own place in life, requires "the power of the mind". It is called Redirecting Negative Thinking. My work is to empower you to become what you want to become. This is a process I learned as a young child and attribute it to my success today. I am my own validation that redirecting negative thinking is successful. Lifes events shape us! From the moment we are able to feel emotions including love and pain, the process of pre-programming begins. As we age,change is needed, and people need to develop a new portfolio of survival techniques. This can be achieved with therapy. I work with individuals, couples, and families.Changing how you think works! Taking Control!

Tall ships in Woolwich and Greenwich: How were they for you?
I couldn't face the crowds in Greenwich, so nipped down to Woolwich on Sunday afternoon to see what the fuss was about.
And you know what? The Tall Ships Festival looked rather decent. At least in Woolwich, anyway.
A big crowd, nice atmosphere – it looked like a good job, well done. And it's been lovely watching the ships go up and down the river this weekend.
I did pass on the opportunity to buy a £16 Royal Greenwich Tall Ships t-shirt for half price, mind.
And here's the most graphic demonstration of why the Firepower museum is closing down – its doors were locked on one of the busiest days the Royal Arsenal complex has ever seen. Madness.
It was a funny experience watching the ships by bike, though. Nowhere to park in sponsor Berkeley Homes' Royal Arsenal compound – well, apart from this one rack…
Greenwich Council later tweeted me to say there was bicycle parking in Beresford Square, but there were no signs from the Thames Path to indicate this. Which mattered, because loads of cyclists were using the path on Sunday.
At least there was some parking at Woolwich, however hidden it was. I thought I'd peek at the ships moored at sponsor Barratt Homes' Enderby Wharf. But security guards were ushering cyclists off the recently-installed bicycle path.
So I trundled down Tunnel Avenue, surprised by the numbers of people coming away from Enderby Wharf towards North Greenwich. Was there anywhere to park the bike? Well, I could have taken my chances here…
After a couple of minutes trying to get a D-lock through a wire fence, I gave up and went home.
So that was my Tall Ships Festival. I know there's been some gripes about it in Greenwich (see the comments on Friday's post), and the traffic's been murder this weekend, with packed roads and overcrowded buses. But it was fine in Woolwich.
Imagine it being called the Woolwich Tall Ships Festival, acknowledging where most of the action was…
Remember, though, it's all about reputation-building. Here's a naughty slip from Greenwich Council's Twitter account.
Retweeting praise aimed at the council leader? Cheeky.
Even cheekier, because the original tweet, sent on Friday night, was it was amended the following night by Mehboob Khan, who juggles being a Labour Party adviser to London Councils with being a councillor in Kirklees, West Yorkshire. Very naughty. The original tweeters weren't impressed.
Enough of what I saw, how were the tall ships for you? Share your praises or gripes below.
Sailing by: Why are the tall ships coming to 'Royal Greenwich'?
If you follow Greenwich Council's media, you'll have heard of little else for the past year. If you bin its weekly propaganda rag Greenwich Time and shun its Twitter feed, this weekend could come as a surprise to you. It's the Royal Greenwich Tall Ships Festival and it's actually rather a big deal.
The first many would have known that this was actually something rather big was when parking permits started falling onto doormats last month. "Tow away zone" signs have sprouted up (even though many of the Olympics ones are still in place) and parking restrictions are in place all weekend.
Isn't this all a bit much? Maybe not. A similar event in Dublin in August 2012 attracted over a million people to the Irish capital. And Falmouth, where this year's event started (below), has been packed out, by all accounts.
It's a baffling thing, because nobody was really asked or consulted about the festival. Nobody put "tall ships" in their manifesto for May's election. After Run to the Beat was finally given the bum's rush, few would have expected another event to cause such major disruption the following year.
This one could be worth it, though, with plenty happening:
- 50 ships will be berthed at Greenwich, Greenwich Peninsula and Woolwich and Canary Wharf between Friday and Monday. The Greenwich Peninsula location is Victoria Deep Water Terminal, which has been decked over and landscaped (above). You'll be able to climb on board the ships and take a look.
– There'll be fireworks in Greenwich on Friday and in Woolwich on Saturday.
– A "crew parade" will take place through Greenwich town centre on Saturday afternoon, to congratulate all those who sailed from Falmouth.
– There'll be "festival villages" at Greenwich and Woolwich over the weekend with shows, music, and other events.
But there'll be disruption, too:
- Greenwich town centre will be closed to traffic for much of Saturday. Buses will be diverted well away from the area.
– Transport for London is warning of disruption from crowds to rail, Tube and DLR services. Southeastern is promising extra services, though isn't detailing just what it's offering.
So how did we get here? It all seems to have started three years ago. Remember the ill-fated Peninsula Festival? That was part of a mini-Dutch invasion for the Olympics that included the similarly-cursed Oranjecamping campsite (above) and Sail Royal Greenwich, a series of hospitality cruises along the Thames, itself based on Sail Amsterdam, which takes place every five years in the Dutch capital.
Only the tall ships actually made it to the end of London 2012. The Peninsula Festival folded after a few days – oddly enough, the Greenwich Peninsula Tall Ships site is adjacent to where Frank Dekker wanted to put his beach – while Oranjecamping moved to Walthamstow. But Sail Royal Greenwich has been based in Greenwich Council's offices at Mitre Passage, North Greenwich ever since.
By November 2012, Greenwich had decided to bid for a Tall Ships Race, which involved this trip to Latvia, so this weekend's Tall Ships Festival is an important staging post if it's to achieve that ambition. Here's a report prepared for former leader Chris Roberts which outlines the council's plans, which put the costs at £175,000.
In December 2013, the costs had ballooned to £500,000, plus £2.1 million in pier refurbishments. The council will be hoping to recoup the costs in sponsorship (including from Barratt Homes and Berkeley Homes) and merchandise (including programmes at £5/pop).
Sail Royal Greenwich has a good deal from the council – it's paying a service charge of £100/month towards each desk, while a games company based in the same office, which is aimed at digital businesses, pays £450/month, according to a Freedom of Information request made last year.
In 2013, the council paid £20,000 towards fireworks for Sail Royal Greenwich at Greenwich and Woolwich, and a further £19,000 for events to mark the ships' arrival in Woolwich. With the council planning to bid for the 2017 Transatlantic Tall Ships Race, the ships'll probably be sticking around for a while yet.
So what does the area get out of the tall ships? Well, if there are hundreds of thousands of people over the weekend, then it'll be a huge boost to tourism – and one that'll go some way of compensating for cock-ups during the Olympics. The ships and the fireworks promise to be a spectacular sight – there's no denying any of that.
But what the council gets out of it is more interesting. It's all about the brand, baby…
The Royal Greenwich Tall Ships Festival is, frankly, about pushing the "Royal Greenwich" brand. But this is also about how a depressingly secretive council sees itself – referring to itself in the third person as "the Royal Borough" even though the council itself is not royal.
It's almost as if the council is trying to depoliticise itself, to portray itself as some kind of benevolent landlord/ events manager like the (barely-elected) City of London Corporation, rather than the highly political beast which it actually is.
Sooner or later, Greenwich's 51 councillors will have to make some very difficult decisions about budget cuts. But while next-door Lewisham is asking residents to weigh up some of the dilemmas themselves, Greenwich residents are told "look at the tall ships!"
Yet with many of the tall ships berthing themselves in SE18, why not apply the high-sailed magic to one of the borough's more battered brands? The Woolwich Tall Ships Festival, anyone? Falmouth-Woolwich Tall Ships Race?
Tall ships also make fantastic corporate entertainment venues. So the festival also offers some glorious opportunities for jollies, and for councillors and officers to be wooed by property developers and the like – Barratt Homes is a lead sponsor, while Berkeley Homes, Cathedral Group and Knight Dragon have also paid to be associated with the event.
In fact, all this is already evident in the pages of Greenwich Time, with two plugs for Morden Wharf developer Cathedral in this week's council paper – one featuring council leader Denise Hyland larking about with sailing trainees sponsored by developers; another featuring Hyland, Cathedral boss Richard Upton and other trainees who, well, fancy that, are nicknamed the Cathedral Five.
I've been told Greenwich Council is terrified the tall ships will be a flop. Judging by the crowds elsewhere, it'll almost certainly be a big hit. There were even photographers out on Greenwich Peninsula early yesterday evening to watch a trio of ships sail through the Thames Barrier and past the Dome.
It's going to be an interesting weekend. If you're well-disposed to the council, there could be plenty to congratulate it on. If you're not, there'll be plenty of bones to pick over the following weeks. There are many reasons to celebrate the tall ships' arrival – but just as many reasons to be sceptical of what's going on below deck. If you live anywhere near the river, get set to be swept along over the next few days…
Greenwich & Woolwich foot tunnel cyclists to get partial green light
Greenwich Council is to trial "shared use" of the Greenwich and Woolwich foot tunnels, which will mean cyclists being officially allowed to use them at quieter times, it has emerged.
The council's put in a bid for £100,000 of City Hall money to develop technology to record pedestrian and cyclist movements in the tunnel, to warn cyclists when the narrow passages make it unsafe for riding.
The Friends of Greenwich and Woolwich Foot Tunnels have been asked to act as partners on the bid, along with Tower Hamlets and Newham councils.
Fogwoft says: "The proposal would allow shared use between pedestrians and cyclists at times when the tunnel is fairly empty. It would require cyclists to walk when necessary. It would allow them to cycle when safe."
Any proposal to allow cycling in the tunnels will be a hugely contentious issue – while there is a blanket ban on riding bicycles, it is widely flouted, especially in the Greenwich tunnel, which is a major link for cyclists between south-east London and Canary Wharf. Since lift attendants were withdrawn some years ago, there has been little enforcement of the ban.
If Greenwich's bid to City Hall is unsuccessful, the council says it will fund the scheme itself.
The council says: "The proposal will be to use state of the art technology to trial shared use in the tunnel. It will monitor cycle and pedestrian flows (and cycle speeds) at all times, and use this to regulate the cycling ban; at times of low pedestrian flow, considerate cycle use will be permitted, and conversely during high pedestrian flow periods cyclists will be required to dismount and push through the space. In other words, the permission levels would respond in a timely manner to conditions in the tunnels at all times.
"This will be enforced through clear, digital signage triggered by the flow levels during each period, which will be tracked throughout the tunnel. The visual signage could be backed up by audible messages, and reinforced through additional monitoring via CCTV and other means.
"Technology will also be used to monitor the speed of any person cycling through the tunnel, flashing up clear signage to anyone travelling quicker than a recommended limit (to be defined) in a similar way to speed warning signs used on highways."
The bid document says a trial would last for 12 months and be "rigorously monitored".
"In using digital technology to track, monitor and regulate permissions at various times of the day, users will feel that a sensible use of the space is allowed at all times. If successful, the trial has potential to be extended to other similar spaces throughout London," it adds.
A further £10,000-£25,000 would fund "behavioural change" measures – enforcement, in other words.
It's believed that a system would be trialled in the quieter Woolwich tunnel before being moved to Greenwich by 2016/17.
Fogwoft has invited users to discuss the issue at its annual general meeting on 2 October. (See more on Fogwoft's website.) The council will also have to consult the public directly about the scheme, which will involve a change to a by-law.
The announcement comes as the long-delayed refurbishment works on both tunnels enter their final stages, after long delays caused by poor management of the project, both by the council and contractor Hyder Consulting.
While deep cleaning hasn't taken place, the lifts at Woolwich are now working, though anecdotal evidence suggests the Greenwich lifts are still bedevilled by breakdowns. Indicators have been placed in the Greenwich tunnel to warn of lift problems, although they are difficult to read in sunlight.
In December 2012, a poll on this website showed 51% of voters would back cycling in the tunnel at all times, with just 16% favouring the current ban and 18% backing the kind of compromise Greenwich is going for. This may indicate something about the readership of this website, though.
But with Greenwich Council backing the motor vehicle-only Silvertown Tunnel, and with even more intensive development planned for the Isle of Dogs, the foot tunnel issue shows it's clear there is still a massive, unmet demand for safe pedestrian and cyclist crossings from south-east to east London.
Monday update: Here's an interesting project – the echoey sounds of the Woolwich Foot Tunnel captured in Waves of Woolwich.
Petition launched to move Woolwich Arsenal to Zone 3
A petition's been launched to ask Transport for London to move Woolwich Arsenal station from zone 4 to zone 3. It's currently approaching 250 signatures….
"As the opening of Crossrail gets closer and closer, and as the regeneration of Woolwich gains momentum, we think it's important to help the area further benefit from all these positive changes. The number of commuters is growing and this trend is only going to continue.
"Moving Woolwich Arsenal station from 4 to zone 3 will help make Woolwich even more attractive and slightly less expensive for workers commuting west. There are talks of moving Stratford, a stone's throws from Woolwich, into zone 2. Also Battersea is poised to be moved from zone 2 to zone 1. Gallions Reach, just north of the river and further east than Woolwich, is already in zone 3."
I wrote about the absurdity of Woolwich being in zone 4 back in 2010, travelling out to leafy Chigwell, Essex, which is also in zone 4. Last week it was announced that Stratford station is being moved to the boundary of zones 2 and 3 to "boost regeneration" – a similar move would put Woolwich Arsenal on the boundary of zones 3 and 4, so passengers travelling from the east wouldn't lose out.
Of course, there's a cost to it and the popularity of the Docklands Light Railway from Woolwich would seem to indicate that the market can bear costly zone 4 fares – but a symbolic change could help attract travel *to* Woolwich, rather than from it.
(There's a wider argument that London's fare zones, which date back to 1983 and predate the development of Canary Wharf, need a complete overhaul as perceptions of "central London" have changed over the years – but that seems to be something nobody dare touch.)
It's a simple change that could end up paying for itself over time if it boosts perceptions of Woolwich – but sadly, local politicians seem to have much more time obsessing over the Thames Clippers service to Berkeley Homes' Royal Arsenal development instead.
Ghana's Black Stars shine at the Castle Tavern, Woolwich
During every World Cup, there's always somewhere to go in London if you want to follow a particular team. For Ghana, one of those places is the Castle Tavern, by the Woolwich Ferry.
As far as I can gather, it's run by an English-Ghanian couple – so when the Black Stars are in action, the local Ghanian population flock to the pub. There's not so much drinking going on – though big bottles of Nigerian Star lager go down a treat at a fiver each – but there's plenty of singing, drumming, dancing, and laughter.
It's a side to Woolwich that's not talked up by the property developers. Nor will you find it in Greenwich Time, the council's weekly propaganda paper. It's a world away from the sterile gentrification of the Royal Arsenal and it overpriced, understaffed Dial Arch.
And when the Black Stars play, you won't find a friendlier welcome anywhere else in south-east London.
So, after a tip-off from the Dulwich Hamlet fans' forum, I thought I'd have a wander down for Saturday night's match against Germany. Would people mind if I took loads of photos and filmed loads of videos, like a tourist? Then I realised everyone was filming each other anyway, so didn't worry about it.
And you know what? It was just fun. No cynicism, no slagging off your own side, just fun. After a tense first half, it was outside for some fresh air – and more singing, dancing and drumming.
Back inside, the game livened up in the second half. But nobody was going to let a small thing like Germany's opening goal stop everyone having a good time.
Three minutes later, though, the Castle went wild as Andre Ayew headed in an equaliser for Ghana. Less than 10 minutes after that, Asamoah Gyan fired the Black Stars into the lead and pandemonium broke out…
Miroslav Klose put Germany back level again – but could Ghana get a third?
It wasn't to be. But a draw against one of the World Cup's most fancied team deserves a celebration – so it was back outside again.
So long as the USA don't beat Portugal tonight, Ghana will still have a shout at qualifying for the World Cup's knockout stages. But even if they don't get through, I reckon there'll still be a party at the Castle anyway. So if you want to see what it's all about, then get down there this Thursday at 5pm for Ghana v Portugal.
Woolwich Tesco up for bad architecture's Carbuncle Cup
The development containing Woolwich's giant Tesco store has been nominated for the Carbuncle Cup, architecture's prize for the UK's worst new building. The whole block has been developed by Spenhill, a subsidiary of the retail giant.
The store, which opened in November 2012, and its associated Woolwich Central housing development have been shortlisted for the prize by architects' trade journal Building Design.

Woolwich might have thought that its days as a military outpost were over. Wrong. Somehow what looks like the world's largest shooting range gained planning permission right in the middle of the town centre, presumably after masquerading as housing above a Tesco supermarket.
Camouflage comes in the way of some truly diabolical cladding and a massing strategy that seems to have been directly inspired by the 1948 Berlin Blockade; we can only hope that residential leases come with free airlift. Tesco may be the world's third largest retailer but clearly when it comes to this untactical offensive, every little hurts.
"If you approach it from Angelsea Road, it towers above the pub and small shops on Woolwich New Road – this isn't a development that's going to be held in much affection outside the town hall and Tesco HQ. Look out for it in next year's Carbuncle Cup," I wrote when the store opened 19 months ago.
Greenwich Council were enthusiastic backers of the store when it opened – the authority gained a new civic HQ and library out of the move – yet it's unclear whether the store has been the shot in the arm that Woolwich town centre needed. Many of the other retail units in the development remain unlet.
Earlier this month, Marks & Spencer announced plans to close its store there.
It's not the first time the award's judges have condemned a Greenwich borough development – 2012's award went to the "disastrously conceived restoration" of the Cutty Sark.
Last year's prize went to a student block on Caledonian Road, Islington, which features windows facing onto a brick wall. 2010's award went to the Strata tower at Elephant and Castle, blasted for its "Philishave stylings".
M&S to close: Woolwich's Marks finally loses its spark
The other week I found myself in Woolwich's Marks & Spencer. An underpant crisis does that to a gentleman, you see. I stood for a minute, and looked around me. The shelves looked tatty. Wires hung down from the wall. The decor had barely changed since I was a kid, making 2014 fashion displays look like something out of 1974.
There couldn't be many stores left with that proud, golden "MARKS & SPENCER" lettering on the front, I mused. Yet the main entrances had been locked up for years, presumably a last-ditch move against shoplifters. While down the road, Woolwich was shiny and new, here was the Woolwich that was still in decline. I must write about this some day, I thought, before remembering I had undercrackers to purchase. That's the good thing about an M&S outlet shop – cheap pants.
But I'm going to have to go somewhere else for my discount drawers now, because Woolwich's century-old M&S is for the chop. And it's the first big headache for Greenwich Council's leader-elect Denise Hyland, deputy-elect John Fahy, and regeneration cabinet member-elect Danny Thorpe.
They aren't alone. Down in Gravesend, the council's furious at the loss of their M&S. Up, way up in Redcar, the council's planning talks – as is Greenwich. And with good reason. In South Shields, they say even charity shops are being hit by the loss of their store.
"[They] clearly have a lack of commercial judgement," fumed John Fahy. But let's be honest here – that M&S has looked doomed since the day it became an outlet store over a decade ago, when the main doors were bolted shut and the wires started hanging down from the ceiling. And the steel frame of the new Charlton M&S has started to emerge in recent weeks, ahead of its opening late next year. Did the arrival of Tesco bang the final nail in the coffin of M&S Woolwich? It's a moot point after decades of decline.
But just as the national economic recovery is only being felt in a few places, Woolwich's own re-emergence isn't all that clear to all either.
Yup, shiny new-ish Tesco (tick), some coffee bars (tick), nice square that everyone likes (tick), but then the rest of it's all behind the brick walls of the Arsenal. While Wellington Street, between the town hall and the council HQ, is immaculate and bedecked in "ROYAL GREENWICH" propaganda banners; Powis Street and Hare Street look as miserable as ever. If you had a choice, why would you do your shopping there?
And frankly, who's left to do their shopping there? Big employers have moved out of Woolwich in recent decades and haven't been replaced. Right opposite M&S on Thomas Street is the Island Site, once home to Thames Polytechnic/Greenwich University, now let out to small colleges. Over the road was Morgan-Grampian Publishing, whose offices are now flats. In the 1960s, according to the Survey of London, Woolwich's M&S carried lines you'd usually only find in the West End. Today, there aren't enough people around during the day to even buy heavily-discounted pants.
What to do? A council can't work miracles, and you can't force a business to stay, particularly one with shareholders to please. But it's clear M&S hasn't got much confidence in a real upturn in Woolwich's fortunes, and judging by the state of the store, it probably hasn't done for years. There are no easy answers, but one sign of what's going wrong in Woolwich was in Greenwich Council's weekly newspaper last week…
The outgoing Dear Leader's still in charge until Wednesday, so here's Chris Roberts bigging up a plan for a "cultural quarter" behind the Royal Arsenal brick wall, without mentioning it's an attempt to replace the ailing Firepower military museum.
Yet who'll really benefit from this scheme? Roberts' mates at Berkeley Homes, of course, who own the residential land surrounding the Firepower site. While Powis Street and Hare Street continue to decay, the council is still at Berkeley's service.
Even more bafflingly, the "cultural quarter" plans seem at odds with the council's own Woolwich masterplan, which envisage another cultural quarter, this time opposite the current M&S store.
Stroll along Polytechnic Street and you'll find the neglected and empty-looking original Woolwich Polytechnic building, with intricate decorations around the windows; a mysterious "town hall annexe" which has seen better days, the original Woolwich swimming baths, and the crumbling first town hall from 1842. It's a ghost street right in the heart of Woolwich.
Yet nothing's happening to bring this back to life – indeed, the Woolwich Grand Theatre looks set to be replaced by flats. Fill this block with creative businesses, as promised in the masterplan, and you'd at least generate some daytime trade in Woolwich that had some money to spend.
But instead, Greenwich Council remains focused on pleasing Berkeley Homes above any other business, and while that continues, it's hard to see the rest of Woolwich really getting much of a look-in.
Once Chris Roberts leaves on Wednesday, maybe the new leadership might change tack and look at ways to make sure the effects of Woolwich's revamp are felt more evenly. At a hustings event for Woolwich Riverside ward, Labour's Jackie Smith even suggested the wall surrounding the Arsenal come down – "if it happened in Berlin, it can happen in Woolwich". It's time to talk and find new ideas for Woolwich, instead of the old approach of painting over locals' views.
And maybe for that Arsenal "cultural quarter"… what about a nice new M&S outlet store? Otherwise, I'm going to have to start stocking up on cut-price undercrackers very soon…
8.05am update: John Fahy has written to M&S: "The alternative to this proposal should be to dispense with the Outlet brand,restore the M&S brand and extend the Simply Food floor space."

I never bashed anyone. All I said was that learning how to use a scraper would save you time. Funny that you went through my gallery to point out your perceived mistakes in my cakes. I never claimed they were perfect and I disagree with your opinion that my buttercream looks unfinished. Why, because there might be a few pock marks or spatula marks? It's BUTTERCREAM. If you want perfect flawless finish, use fondant. The majority of my cakes are gratis and I'm not going to sit there smothering my buttercream with non-food safe materials for two hours to give the illusion that it's fondant when it isn't. I would rather spend that time hand-cutting fondant decorations or not doing cakes at all. If you get paid to do that, more power to you.
The recipe I use for most of my cakes barely crusts, and those methods wouldn't work for me if I wanted them to. Consequently, I use a scraper.

I wrote a friend today and talked to her about holding me accountable but now I'm reaching out to all of my friends on Spark!! Please anyone and everyone that has tips of advise or would like to pitch in and HELP me hold myself accountable I would LOVE it. Thanks in advance...this is sort of my cry for help and I'm letting you all into my world a bit on this blog. Here is part of my email to my friend....and to you ALL who read this.
"So here it is just 12 days until Jan. 1st, 2013!!! AND I want to make some goals. I was wondering if you could help me? What kind of goals do you have? My biggest issue is staying with it. As some of you may know, I've always struggled with this. I want to make it a lifestyle but if I don't stick with it, then I won't.
So I don't know if I should use my arm band to keep track of what I burn and log calories, or just walk daily, or do dvd's at the house, sign up for a gym, wake up early and work out to get it over with? So many options and I know everyone has to do what works for them but so far nothing has worked for me because I don't stick with it.
I really need some TOUGH love and that's why I'm reaching out. I want a fit friend to hold me accountable or someone I can look up to who has lost weight before and knows how to do it, someone who has changed their life or always lived a healthy life. I'm not saying you have to check on me daily but if you can check in on me on FB or SP fairly often that would be awesome! Maybe if you wanted we could set some goals together? Is there anything you are working on that I could jump in on and see how it works for me too? Do you have a schedule? Eating habits that you could tell me about? What's your schedule like? Any tips or advise at all?
I want to get these goals down in writing before the 1st. I had a goal of getting to 219 by Christmas but that's not going to happen. I have GOALS all the time but I just ignore them and never work on them. I think my issue is that I don't have steps in place to get to the goals. Some nights I just feel like laying around being lazy, watching TV instead of getting up and getting dressed to go for a jog or cooking/cleaning. I just get so lazy sometimes and then the next morning I wake up and have all this energy when I get to work and then it's too late because I'm here at work and can't do anything but THINK about losing weight. I've been thinking for YEARS...and I don't want to think anymore, I want to DO IT.
After my 45 min drive home and working all day it's like my momentum just left the building and I have this "I don't care" attitude. I mean not EVERYDAY but literally about 85% of the time M-F. I obviously care and want to lose weight but I don't really go into deep thought much at all. I just come home and sit down and watch TV and then get up and cook whatever is convienent. Then maybe hang with the kids and get on the computer for way too long. I think maybe I'm ignoring responsibility (cleaning/working out) because it's not fun and it's hard work. Boohoo uh? lol But, when I do decide to clean or on the rare occation work out, I always feel proud and happy I did it and I can especially see results right away with cleaning so sometimes I pick that over working out for the instant gratification. We are just messy people and sometimes I just can't take it anymore so I feel like I HAVE to clean.
I'm a fly by the seat of my pants kinda girl. Do what I want, when I want, eat what I want with no rules, no goals, or direction. But since I've always been that way it makes it really hard to MAKE rules for myself. People say to reward yourself but nothing really gets me excited because I buy myself stuff whenever I want other than expensive stuff and I've never really been good at saving either so I can't afford the pricey stuff. lol
I'm really not trying to sound like a loser or a downer, I'm just explaining how I am. I think that's why I haven't lost weight. I still have the mindset I did when I was a teenager....I can eat whatever I want. But I don't swim and run and play basketball and practice flips in the back yard anymore. lol I sit ALL day. And it's crazy but sitting actually makes you tired!! It just drains you. After sitting still all day, I'm not gonna lie sometimes going to the store is a drag. Sitting just makes you lazy. I just have to snap out of this laziness!
So on a positive note on Jan. 4th I start a new job and I'll be trained to be a pharmacy tech where I will be STANDING all day. That's gonna be rough the first few weeks. I'll probably be physically and mentally spent. lol This is a whole new field for me and I know nothing about medicine but it's an AWESOME job and I just want to fit in there. It's a small family owned business and they have all sorts of cool stuff going on. They sell medical equipment, make their own meds, have a clinic, a weight loss program, and natural suppliments. I'm going to be trained to know all that the pharmacy has to offer and will have to direct clients to whatever suppliment they need so if they ask for white grape seed extract, I will have to know where to direct them (gastro-intestinal section) :) I'm going to learn SO much and I'm super duper excited because I want to be in nutrition and this is going to teach me a lot. Plus in a bit they are going to train me as a medical assistant too! (I'm already a CNA) I'm going to be the front line person for the company so kinda sales too. AND I don't want to be over weight telling them about our weight loss program. That's just wrong and embarrasing. I might get a discount on the program. lol But we'll see. I think it's one where you have to buy their food so not sure if I would like that or not. I like making my own food and don't like to be restricted. I think I might be the biggest person there and I'm working with Dr.'s and Pharmacists so I just wanna be healthy you know?
I will work 9-6pm M-F and some Sat's too for OT. Not sure how often yet. I will be standing ALL day and that will be new to me so something tells me that I will NOT want to work out after work so I'm thinking maybe I should try and be a morning work out person? What do you think? I just want to get a game plan in place NOW and maybe even start working on it so that I'm not shocked with everything all at once you know? New job, new habits, new year, and all.
I am joining a biggest loser team on SP that I guess is pretty intense starting Jan. 16th (I think that's the date) so I'm excited about that. I'm still trying to decide what team is right for me. I won't have computer time all day long at work like I do at my job and I don't want to be sitting on SP all day logging in calories and blogging ALL the time instead of working out because let's be real...I'd rather be on SP then work out. So I need a team with accountability!!! lol
I also already have tons of calendars and planners for next year. lol I have a treadmill, weights, and a bench press at home plus dvds, and just got new running shoes, I have an iphone with nike+ running app, and myfitnesspal linked to my arm band, plus books and magazines, and Spark People....I have TONS of options. I just need pushed and checked on and a PLAN. Would you be willing to give me some help/advice? Thanks SO much Spark buddies!! Hugs-Jennifer
Hello everyone! Well since July 13th I've lost 6.8lbs and hopefully more by the time I weigh in on Saturday. It's not a ton but I'll take it. It's amazing how keeping up with your weight really helps to hold you accountable. It's so fun to watch the scale go down. I counted calories for 9 days in a row...my longest stretch yet. I haven't counted calories for a week or more but I'm still doing good. I try to only eat when I'm hungry and so far that seems to be working. I still have my coach and that's going good too:) Also I started the virtual couch to 5k on Spark People! I'm hoping for a great month in Sept and no matter how long it takes to get to my goal I'm not stopping!! What are your goals for Sept? I'd love to hear them! Let's do this! Some pics of my summer so far:) Me and the kids went to a dinosaur park at Kings Island (an amusement park in Ohio) My son Anthony is #61. I've been watching lots of football! Some pretty flowers I got myself just for fun:) Only $3.99 too! Woo hoo! This is what I get when I tell my son to smile. lol My drive on the way to work. Such a pretty sun!
Hey friends! Just thought I'd write a quick blog to let you know how I'm doing (and to hold myself accountable too.)
The personal training is going great! It's nice to have someone checking up on me DAILY! I love that! I started counting calories last week but skipped the weekend. I didn't go crazy overboard though so that's good! I'm proud to say I am right back on track as of yesterday and counting again! I've been staying in my range for calories. Per SP I should be around 1600's to 1900's to lose a pound a week. I'm not sure how accurate that is because I believe it takes my exercise into consideration and to be honest that has NOT been great. I worked out yesterday for the first time in a long time. I need to work on that.
I titled this blog "balance" because I feel I need more of it. lol It's like I always have to think about dieting and exercising and yet lots of times I don't feel I have the energy to do all the planning that it takes to get to where I want to be. However I need to plan or else I'll go off plan. I'd like to know what you all do to maintain balance? With teenage boys, a hubby, a dog, bills to pay, house to clean, doctor appointments, stores to shop at, food to cook, how and where does everyone find the time to workout, plan meals? I feel like it consumes my mind so much and I can't wait until it's a lifestyle and not a focal point of my life. I'm just ready to lose the weight and get on with it! lol Does anyone else feel this way! Sorry for blabbing...just wanted to get it off my chest and get some thoughts on planning and maintaining balance!
I'll keep ya posted on my progress:) Last week I lost 1.6lbs with no exercise and just counting calories. That made me pay more attention to what I ate and made me more aware of the calories I usually eat. I ate a lot less junk food last week let me tell ya! If anyone is thinking of counting calories but hates it (like I did)...let me tell you, it's actually not that bad...especially if you don't eat a ton of random things and takes bites of 10 different things throughout the day! You'll think twice because you won't want to log them! lol :)
Have a good rest of the week everyone!
Hi Sparkies! I think everytime I blog I've got a NEW idea. lol So why change that? ;) THIS time....I'm getting a personal trainer! I think you all know who Coach Kristie is, and if you don't you need too! She has changed her life around and did it with Spark People! :) I'll let you know how I do. I should be starting this week.
Also I wanted everyone to say hi to my friend Stephanie who works with me! She is on my friends list and her SP name is forever_young25. I just got her to join SP! Yippie! :)
Hi everyone! Hope your week is starting off great! I have decided to count calories....for real this time, with another SP buddy!
I'm expecting it to work this time since we will be holding each other accountable. If anyone else wants to jump in and do it with us that would be awesome! We weigh in on Saturdays but of course you could weigh in whenever is best for you!
Make it a great week and get outside to enjoy the nice weather if you can!!
If anyone has tips for counting calories I'd love to hear them! Any way to make it easier? lol

Fat Guys at the Movies: Episode 83 – My Best Friend's Fat GuysPodcast By Fat Guys at the Movies on September 19, 2008 | Be the First To Comment
On This Week's Show: Kevin and Neil are recovering from the righteous wind storm that swept through the Midwest… or at least they're using that as an excuse for not having seen all the movies this week. They unleash their wrath on Lionsgate and the Weinsteins for not screening films, and they give a little love for Sam Jackson and Ricky Gervais because their films were screened. There's a nod to Stuart Townsend for his film in the indie spotlight (that both Kevin and Neil saw), and Kevin confesses his childhood trauma from Gordon Jump's guest spot on Diff'rent Strokes. Oh no! Mister Carlson!
Films Reviewed this Week: Lakeview Terrace, Ghost Town, Battle in Seattle, My Best Friend's Girl and Igor.

It's almost April, and that can mean only one thing: Just eight weeks to get your best beach body ever!
It's as much a spring tradition as Easter bunnies and tulips, isn't it?
I'll admit that I've fallen victim to the "I've got to do something with this body" mentality when it's clear that summer will be here in the blink of an eye. But experience has taught me that all the exercise and calorie-cutting and treat-skipping in the world won't fundamentally change the body I have. I may tone up and trim down a bit, but at the end of the day, I'll still be me.
Am I saying we should just give up on exercise and healthy eating? Not at all. What I am saying is that maybe it's high time we re-evaluated what the "perfect beach body" means for us (And you know I hate the word "perfect." I cringed earlier this week when actress Jennifer Love Hewitt used it).
Let me explain: Lately, I've watched two good friends in my life both face life-changing illnesses. As we head into spring, I can't help but think of them and realize that my "best beach body ever" is the one that's simply healthy enough to spend an afternoon in the sun and surf with my kids.

Paula's Choice products are formulated using the same exacting standards we use to review products from other brands.

This fragrance-free anti-acne product contains the gold standard topical disinfectant benzoyl peroxide as its active ingredient. Although 5% benzoyl peroxide can be a formidable weapon in the battle against acne, in this treatment gel the base formula is potentially problematic. We're concerned that the amount of alcohol may be too high, resulting in irritation and a delay in skin's healing response to breakouts.
The lightweight gel formula contains some notable plant-based anti-irritants, yet the alcohol base just isn't helpful and is hard to overlook. See More Info to find out why alcohol in anti-acne products is problem, and check out our list of Best Anti-Acne Products for superior options.
Note: The inactive ingredients for this product are listed in alphabetical rather than descending order. This is permissible due to the product being regulated as an over-the-counter drug in the U.S., though it leaves consumers in the dark about the rough amount of key ingredients they're putting on their skin.
Alcohol in skin-care products causes dryness and free-radical damage, and impairs the skin's ability to heal. The irritation it causes damages healthy collagen production and can stimulate oil production at the base of the pore, making oily skin worse (Sources: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, May 2012, pages 1,410–1,419; Alcoholism, Clinical and Experimental Research, January 2011, pages 83–90; "Skin Care—From the Inside Out and Outside In," Tufts Daily, April 1, 2002; eMedicine Journal, May 8, 2002, volume 3, number 5, www.emedicine.com; Cutis, February 2001, pages 25–27; Contact Dermatitis, January 1996, pages 12–16; and http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh27-4/277-284.htm).
The Clear Proof Acne Treatment Gel is the third step in the Clear Proof Acne System. It helps clear up pimples fast while helping prevent new ones from forming. Plus, it helps fade the look of lingering acne spots. Contains 5% benzoyl peroxide.
Active: Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Other: Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract, Alcohol Denat., Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, Disodium EDTA, Echinacea Purpurea Extract, Glycerin, Poloxamer 182, Propylene Glycol, Silica, Sodium Hydroxide, Water.
The last few years haven't been glamorous for one of the world's largest direct sellers of cosmetics. Mary Kay lost a lawsuit filed by TriStrata, the company whose founders hold over 100 patents on the use of AHAs in skin-care products. It was revealed that Mary Kay's former AHA products infringed on three of these patents, and, after some back-and-forths in court, Mary Kay ended up paying royalties of over $40 million (interest included) to TriStrata. Perhaps because they're still licking their wounds after this defeat, the company has not launched any new AHA products, and no longer sells the ones that were in question during the legal battle (Source: www.bizjournals.com/dallas/stories/2006/04/03/daily26.html).
However, the company's spin on the issue of AHAs is that they no longer use them because skin-care technology has advanced. That's an interesting twist, but the fact of the matter is that AHA products, when well-formulated, are still considered advanced and capable of doing far more for skin than the alternatives Mary Kay has devised (including an at-home microdermabrasion scrub and products with vitamin C derivatives).
Although they're not a company for you if you are looking for exfoliants (though you should be looking for a good exfoliant), Mary Kay has recently developed a surprising number of excellent products. With over 1.6 million Mary Kay consultants selling products in 30 countries, this family-owned company (founder Mary Kay Ash passed away in 2001) has slowly been proving that they intend to remain competitive with the best of the best. A refreshing change of pace is the omission of fragrance from almost all of the products. Now that is what we call progress!
Despite its size and capital (wholesale figures were $3 billion in 2012), Mary Kay still has a lot to learn. For instance, although their guiding philosophy of empowering women is admirable, the assortment of products still leaves much to be desired. Yes, things are looking up, but there are several weak spots that keep Mary Kay from being in the same league as Avon, Estee Lauder, Procter & Gamble (Olay), and Johnson & Johnson (Neutrogena, Aveeno, RoC). These include outdated cleansers, toners, and moisturizers, along with letdowns in products designed for oily, blemish-prone skin. The TimeWise product range has expanded considerably, and offers a few state-of-the-art products worthy of its name (although, as with all skin-care products, they're not going to turn back the hands of time and erase all signs of aging).
If improvements like those in Mary Kay's latest products were translated to the entire line, it would be standing much taller, at least as far as what current, substantiated skin-care research indicates is optimum for creating and maintaining healthy skin. As is, this is a line to approach with a keen understanding of what to focus on and what to avoid. One last bit of good news: Mary Kay offers well-packaged samples of selected products, either directly or from your consultant.
Unless mentioned otherwise, all Mary Kay products are fragrance-free.
Note: Mary Kay is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Mary Kay does not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Last weekend, the Bamboo Room — a longtime blues hub located in Lake Worth — may have closed its doors to the public forever. Fingers are crossed in the local music community as many of us hope that things will change, but as of now, the best blues club in this part of the state is shut down.
A little more than three weeks ago, a news release came out saying that the Bamboo Room was taking a hiatus. It's still unclear how long that hiatus will last or if there's even a chance the club will reopen during the tourist season. Either way, it's bad news for music lovers, a bad sign for local venues, and kick in the stomach for fans of the blues, who cherished the club and now have one fewer friendly watering hole to call home.
Owner Russell Hibbard and his wife, Karen, plan to sit back for the next four to five months and take a reading on the local and national economy to determine whether they can reopen. If there's an uptick and consumer confidence rises, they'd love to be back in business sometime this winter. If nothing changes or, God forbid, this make-believe recession (which the government says we're not even having) starts to get worse, well, that's probably all, she wrote.
I chatted with Russell last week just to help wrap my brain around how such a cool music venue that's so widely adored by blues lovers all over the country could wind up in this position.
Here's how I thought the conversation would go:
Dred Scott: Hey, Russell, so what's going on? I hear that you guys are closing.
Hibbard: Where the hell have you been? I've only seen you at my club twice and you're the music editor at that newspaper. Thanks for all the fucking support!
Hey, man, you're totally right. I took your place for granted when I shouldn't have. I thought I'd get to come up there more often and write about the place, but gas is really high and... [voice trails off in embarrassment].
Tell me about it. Some of you music journalists are so concerned with what's hip and what's new that you don't take the time to appreciate how a blues bar is an American institution. This music is dying out, man. And there aren't a lot of places to go and hear it anymore.
So what can people do to help you stay in business? Some of us realize that, even though we love the place, we didn't go as frequently as we should have. But that's over now. What can we do?
Buy a time machine. Go back to 2004. Keep Bush from getting reelected. Maybe then I'd be in better shape.
Well, the conversation didn't go exactly like that, but the sentiment was in the air. After all, I didn't make it to the Bamboo Room nearly as much as I should have — since I live in Plantation, gas prices have a lot do with that. Some readers may coyly think the same thing.
"A lot of this is psychological on the consumer's part," Hibbard said during our actual conversation. "People are still getting used to $4 gas prices. Folks can't go out and watch music like they used to — that includes you. And touring bands can't afford to drive this far south into Florida if they don't have a bunch of gigs lined up to make it worth their while. They'd love to be able to play our venue, but the additional 700 miles round trip, in two vans, from one part of the state all the way down here and back, would cut into any profitability of that tour."
It's not to say that the price of petrol is putting the Bamboo Room out of business, nor is it causing blues music as a whole to disappear across the country faster than many of us would like. But since both are happening, it was only a matter of time before the Bamboo Room felt the crunch.
"Small venues like us, we get hit first," Hibbard says. "I don't have an occupancy of 400-plus. I'm a 150-seat theater, and I book a lot of artists that rarely play Florida."
In a sense, that's what's made the Bamboo Room such a special place. Since the place opened in March 1999, it's been a hub for some of the finest living blues musicians (young and old) to showcase their stuff. Everyone from Pinetop Perkins to Otis Taylor, Bo Diddly, James "Superharp" Collins, John Hammond, and beyond has performed here. To some, it may have been just another gig — the first time they played there— but after walking in the door, many of those artists came back.
Just sitting around the bar, shootin' the shit with patrons, could lead to any number of crazy, blues-related stories springing forth. Like the time Keb' Mo' sat in the back of the club unannounced during Otis Taylor's last set at the Bamboo Room in 2007. Mo' never made his presence known until the end of the night, when the club closed. It was then that he approached Taylor, hopped on stage, and jammed for another 35 minutes to an audience of fewer than 20 people.

Carry more items
The game only checks how much you can carry when buying and picking up items. You can put on Rings Of Strength and an Amulet Of Strength, pick up man items, then take off the strength items and put on Rings Of Constitution for more HP or other rings and amulets to boost other stats. This works well when duplicating Extra Healing Potions so you can carry a large number of them through tough areas and to face end Bosses.

can you guys point me in the right direction
