Abacavir hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS) is a potentially life-threatening illness occurring in 4–8% of those initiating the drug. Early studies identified a strong association between the MHC class I allele HLA-B*5701 and AHS. These studies suggested that HLA-B*5701 holds promise as a screening test to prevent AHS, but concern arose from HLA-B*5701-negative cases with a clinical diagnosis of AHS, and particularly from early reports of apparently low sensitivities of HLA-B*5701 for AHS in patients of non-White race. However, open screening studies suggested that HLA-B*5701 screening can largely eliminate AHS. Furthermore, skin-patch testing was used in later-generation studies to separate those patients with true immunologically mediated AHS from those with false-positive clinical diagnoses. Currently, high-level evidence suggests that HLA-B*5701 has a negative predictive value of 100% for patch-test-confirmed AHS, which is generalizable across White and Black populations.
Current HIV treatment guidelines have been revised to reflect the recommendation that HLA-B*5701 screening be incorporated into routine care for patients who may require abacavir. New laboratory techniques such as PCR and flow cytometric methods, as well as an international quality assurance program, have evolved to ensure the availability of cost-effective screening methods whose consistency and standard can be maintained over time. An elegant body of basic science has evolved, which supports and complements the clinical research in suggesting that AHS is specifically and exquisitely restricted by HLA-B*5701 and mediated by CD8+ lymphocytes. Abrogating factors explaining why 45% of those carrying HLA-B*5701 can tolerate abacavir remain to be defined.
The research approach applied to AHS has led to a genetic screening test being successfully implemented globally in primary HIV clinical practice. The abacavir 'example' can be applied to other drugs to facilitate the development and operationalization of genetic tests that may be useful to predict and prevent otherwise unpredictable drug reactions.

Pittsfield woman's lawsuit says medical marijuana no justification for staffing firm's denial of rehiring
Published Date Written by Staff Report
The ACLU of Maine and the firm McKee Law, P.A. filed a lawsuit Tuesday on behalf of Brittany Thomas, a Pittsfield mother who was denied rehiring by a staffing firm because she uses medical marijuana in accordance with state law, the litigants stated in a press release. The lawsuit was filed in Somerset County Superior Court against Adecco Group North America, which hires people for temporary employment.According to Adecco's website (http://www.adeccousa.com), "Adecco Staffing U.S. is the nation's leading provider of recruitment and workforce solutions. We are the pre-eminent workforce management partner for Fortune 500 companies and career advisement expert for American workers, serving all of the key industries and professions that drive our economy forward."
Thomas suffers from severe back pain caused by spondylosis, arthritis, two bulging disks, a herniated disk, an annular tear and a pinched nerve, the litigants' press release stated. She was originally prescribed narcotic pain medications, but suffered from the side effects and found she had to continually increase her dosage in order to relieve her pain. After consulting with her doctor, she tried medical marijuana and found that it controlled her pain without the side effects or increased dosages of traditional prescription pain medication.
Thomas had previously been hired through Adecco to work for United Technologies Corporation assembling smoke detectors. Thomas was let go when they did not have enough work for her, but she was called by Adecco to return to UTC when additional work was available, the press release stated. Adecco required Thomas to complete a drug screening before returning to work; she told them that she would "fail" the test because she was a registered marijuana user, and when she did in fact test positive for marijuana she was told she would not be allowed to continue employment with Adecco, according to the litigants.
"Using medical marijuana would never have gotten in the way of me doing my job, because I never would have taken it while on duty," said Thomas. "I choose to use medical marijuana to control my pain because it doesn't have any of the side effects of stronger pain medication, like addiction. The incredible thing is, if I was using a stronger drug, I could have kept my job."
"No patient should be forced to choose between the pain relief she needs to live a normal life, and the employment she needs to support her family," said Zachary Heiden, legal director of the ACLU of Maine. "And no employer should be forcing itself into the middle of a decision best made by a patient and her doctor."
Mainers voted to decriminalize the limited use of medical marijuana for serious conditions in 2008.
"Adecco is ignoring the will of the people of Maine, who overwhelmingly approved the use of marijuana for serious medical conditions," said Walt McKee of McKee Law, P.A. "No employer should be permitted to flout state laws protecting the right of patients to access the medicine they need."
The lawsuit seeks damages from Adecco, including back wages and reinstatement.

By Pauline Liu China. It seemed like an unlikely place for 14 high school students from Margaretville Central School to visit, but the teens, along with two teachers, returned from there on Thursday night. After catching up on sleep, they are still excitedly talking about their experiences a world away. Asked to sum up the trip in one word, many of them said it was "awesome."
By Pauline Liu The roar through the region on Saturday of 166 motorcycles, startled motorists and pedestrians alike, causing all of them to stop and stare. Roads were temporarily closed in Roxbury, Arkville, Margaretville, and Andes to allow bikers in the Second Annual Thomas D. Avery Road Hawg Benefit Ride to complete their 95-mile long route.
By Jay Braman Jr. Phoenicia heard sobering news Monday night about the costs of building a sewer system for the hamlet.
Under discussion since 1997, the costs have been going up and up and up. Now, according to La-mont Engineering, which has been studying five different options for a system, it would cost between $25 and $30 million to build a system and between $550, 000 and $600,000 a year to run.
Now, those figures, while staggering if the 250 users in the tiny hamlet had to pay all of it, have not yet been broken down by La-mont.
By Pauline Liu The newly appraised value of Margaretville's New York City-owned wastewater treatment plant didn't even make it onto the Town of Middletown's final reassessment roll before the city filed an appeal, asking that its assessed value be reduced by another $12 million. The city's action, which it calls a "precautionary measure," caused confusion in the Middletown offices this week. Especially since the much-anticipated reassessed value of the plant, which is $36 million, was an amount that all sides in the dispute had agreed upon.
By Pauline Liu On Fanny Brook Road in the hamlet of Grand Gorge, progress is being measured by the increasing amount of open space at the junkyard, now that thousands of old tires are being hauled away for recycling.
Back in April, town officials gave the property owner 30 days to clean up his land. Now that three months have passed and the deadline has been missed, officials are willing to give the project some extra time.
By Brian Sweeney Gas leaseholders in portions of Delaware County were notified last week that their contracts are being forcibly extended because of the state's drilling moratorium. ExxonMobil (XTO Energy) sent letters to the 500-member Deposit Coalition stating that the coalition's leases, signed in May 2008, are being extended by the company. The leases were originally written for five-years.
By Pauline Liu As the week began, temperatures in the region simmered near 90 degrees, sending many to seek relief from the heat by taking a plunge into the cooling waters of their nearest public swimming pool. Here's what's going on if you want to get into the swim of things in the Catskills.

Margaretville — The Catskill Watershed Corporation (CWC) Board of Directors at its meeting July 5, heard from leaders of Olive Boy Scout Troop 163 which is planning a once-in-a-lifetime trek from the Ashokan Reservoir to New York City August 19 through 27.
Scoutmaster Keith Davis and Committee Chairman Rob Overton, accompanied by their 12-year-old sons Billy Davis and Blake Overton, described the expedition that will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the troop, one of the first Boy Scout troops established in the U.S.

Hola todos,
Looking for canned olives stuffed with anchovies. Not pimiento, not cheese, but ANCHOVIES.
I last had luck finding this at La Espanola in Harbor City, but that's a bit of a schlep for me.
As always, Thanks in Advance!
The fresh seafood stand at the Sunday Mar Vista FM on Grand View has boquerones as well as olives stuffed with pimiento and encircled with anchovies, on a small skewer. They're in plastic trays and kept on ice at the market. I know it's not the same, but does close count? :)

You may want to check Bay Cities Italian Deli. I swear I've seen them there, in the canned condiments / olives aisle.

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — A Utah man who defrauded investors nationwide of more than $4.4 million by promoting investment in nonexistent wind farms in Wyoming and South Dakota must serve more than 12 years in prison, a federal judge ordered Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl heard hours of testimony in Casper from state and federal investigators before rejecting a claim from defendant Robert Arthur Reed, 53, of Salt Lake City, that he didn't deserve extra prison time for organizing the scam that claimed money from 83 victims.
Skavdahl called Reed a manipulative person and said it was clear he served as "puppeteer," directing others how to perpetuate the fraud.
Reed pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy to launder money. Yet Reed persisted at Tuesday's sentencing hearing that while he was guilty of moral failings, he and other co-defendants were arrested before they committed crimes.
Reed said the unsuspecting people who sent in their money in response to telephone solicitations had agreed to lend it to a wind farm development company for three years. He said he was a consultant to the company, and that the three-year loan period hadn't run out before he and the others were arrested.
Victims were told they had to make a minimum investment of $25,000, an indictment states. Prosecutors charged that Reed and co-defendants used personal aliases and the company names of Mountain State Power Group, Mountain State Power and Sovereign Energy Partners in the scheme.
"I believe, and I believe the evidence shows — it's actually uncontroverted — that Mountain State Power borrowed money," Reed said.
According to court records, Reed and others acquired land near Casper and in Butte County, S.D., to satisfy investors that the projects were moving forward with construction of the promised wind farms. They put up signs at the South Dakota site and took pictures of contractors they hired to push dirt around to make it appear construction was ongoing, prosecutors said.
Skavdahl approved a request from prosecutors to forfeit investment accounts, real estate and a high-end motor home that they said had been purchased with proceeds from the fraud. A state investigator testified that Reed had exclusive control of company bank accounts.
Lisa Leschuck, a federal prosecutor, told Skavdahl it was clear from Reed's testimony that he was a sociopath. She urged the judge to depart upward from federal sentencing guidelines and sentence Reed to 15 years in prison.

Featured Book Christina's Saga: From Norway to Dakota Territory by Wayne Anderson
The saying "True Love Waits" is just that. I was 47 when my true love found me. True love will find you, when you stop looking.
What I've found is a haven
So safe and sound
A love this strong
I know it's where I belong
The ties that bind our hearts
Time can't sever
I love you, always and forever
His heart is steadfast and true
His eyes are the windows I look through
In his soul lies conviction
His generosity carries no restrictions
His dreams he will endeavor
His smile shines so bright
I wish I may, I wish I might
Hold on to this precious love
That feels so right
Loving you this deeply, I have never
I love you, always and forever!

Ah, the 1980s. Those were the wonder years (yeah, I said it) when I was a tween and then a teen couch potato, a late social bloomer who loved not much more than the several tv shows I watched weekly. (Yes, after I did my homework. Mostly.)
I've spent way more time off of the couch than on since then, but I'm still captivated by visual media, including a few favorite television shows. I still often find myself going back to the tried and true tv shows I grew to love in the '80s, though. I sing the theme songs out of the blue, and all it takes is someone referencing The Facts of Life or Cheers and I'm off and quoting it out loud.
Thanks to the magic of cable television, DVDs, and streaming video, I can revisit most of my favorite '80s shows whenever I want, but I've been thinking that several of them could use an update. Sure, there's a lot of great television now, but there have been some great spin-offs over the years, and they just don't happen that much anymore.
I think it would be a lot of fun to bring back some favorite characters from '80s shows. Whatever did happen to those Facts of Life girls after the gift shop finally closed down? Did Mork ever go back to Ork? Were those wonder years really the best? So I reached into the tv show wayback machine, and made a list of old favorites that could use a new spin.
Which tv show story from the '80s would you most like to see retold in 2013?

French Open manifested everything from perfection to putrid
By now, we know Rafael Nadal left Roger Federer licking his wounds at Roland Garros, while Ana Ivanovic established herself as the sovereign Serb. But so much more went down during this fortnight.
For many it seemed like it might never end, but as always happens, the long fortnight of a Grand Slam has come to a close at this year's French Open.
We'll ignore the fact the French is the only Slam to play for 15 days -- despite a pervasive feeling from the players and the media that it's one day too many, though probably not for the fans who can't enough of grueling clay-court tennis. For those who work the event, however, the civilized middle Sunday off day approach at Wimbledon should be a schedule set in stone at all the majors.
But 15 days it was, and a lot happened, from emotional goodbyes to startling results and anniversary celebrations. Here's a recap of some of the more notable moments at the 2008 French Open:
Fabulous in perfection
Rafael Nadal has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is the man to beat when it comes to clay. He not only rolled over seven consecutive players without losing a set to win his fourth consecutive French Open title, but his near flawless 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 final victory over Roger Federer left the top player in the world licking his wounds. Nadal has dominated at the French Open since first playing here, winning all 28 matches he's contested, and there appears to be no reason he shouldn't continue to rule with an iron fist. Classy to the core, Nadal modestly says he only feels like No. 2 in the world, but his game surely looked much larger than No. 1 could handle in the final. And fans shouldn't be surprised if Nadal can negotiate Federer on the Swiss' favorite grass surface at Wimbledon in just a few weeks.
Federer flustered
Ouch! For the past three years Federer has been on the wrong side of the final decision to Nadal at the French Open, not to mention a semifinal loss four years ago. But at least in the past Federer was able to show off some of his talent by inserting himself into the matches. That was not the case this year. Federer was flat and flustered, looking a shadow of a man who has won 12 Grand Slam titles. When the top gun suffers a more humiliating loss to Nadal than Brazilian qualifier Thomaz Bellucci, who pushed Nadal to 7-5 in the opening set of the first round, it makes people wonder. The pundits say that Federer is the next best thing to Nadal on clay, but that's got to be up for debate now.
Three times the charm
Ana Ivanovic solidified her position as the player with that indistinguishable "it" factor on the WTA Tour. It was only a question of time until Serbia would become the sovereign nation of tennis; the only uncertainty was whether it would be Ivanovic or Jelena Jankovic playing queen. Ivanovic certainly won that right when she became the first Serbian in history to take over the world No. 1 ranking and the first Serbian woman to win a Grand Slam title all in the same week. Ivanovic sent Jankovic packing in the semifinals, then handled Dinara Safina with ease in the final. Twice a bridesmaid -- in the 2007 French Open final and 2008 Australian Open final -- Ivanovic became the tennis bride on Saturday.
So close, yet so far
History making was in the offing for Dinara Safina if only she had made good on her first visit to a Grand Slam final. Safina was cruising on a 12-match winning streak, which included victories over top-10 players Justine Henin, Serena Williams and Elena Dementieva to win the Berlin title heading into the French. Safina solidified a reputation in Paris as the Comeback Kid, wiping away match points against Maria Sharapova and Dementieva in the fourth round and quarterfinals, respectively. But she couldn't climb the mountain a third time against Ivanovic in the final. Oh, but if she had, it would've been the first time that a brother and sister had achieved Grand Slam greatness.
Vive le France
An infectious personality, Gael Monfils looks quite the marionette as he dashes and darts around the court. The first Frenchman to reach the Roland Garros semifinal since Sebastien Grosjean in 2001, Monfils had France flushed with excitement. To his credit, he seemed unperturbed that he was playing world No. 1 Federer in the semis. Until the last point, whether it was Monfils or a puppeteer pulling the strings, the Frenchman showed a fearless approach in facing Federer. Unfortunately, Gael could not create enough of a gale wind to upend Federer, but he should be proud of taking him to four sets. It wasn't only Monfils' magic that delighted French fans -- wild-card recipient Jeremy Chardy went all the way to the fourth round with wins over sixth seed David Nalbandian and 30th seed Dmitry Tursunov.
Borg returns home
Since Bjorn Borg won the last of his six French Open titles in 1981, he has rarely visited Roland Garros, where he reigned so relentlessly. But Borg's visit to this year's event for the final weekend allowed his fans to see all is well with one of the true superstars of the game. Borg certainly has lost the shyness that was part of his persona in his playing days. He not only agreed to hold a news conference on Saturday afternoon, allowing the established corps of international journalists pick his brain, he actually arrived 20 minutes early. Sweden's favorite son is looking good at 52. Come around more often Bjorn, the sport could benefit from your involvement.
What to do about the Williams sisters. So much talent, so often squandered. For the American contingent at this year's French Open, it became the day the earth shook when both Serena and Venus were ushered to the door by lesser opponents -- Serena by Katarina Srebotnik and Venus by Flavia Pennetta -- in the third round. The last time the two sisters lost on the same day at a Grand Slam was right here in 2004 when they both lost in the quarterfinals -- Serena lost to Jennifer Capriati and Venus lost to eventual champion Anastasia Myskina. One thing you can credit the Williamses with is they always keep you guessing. Just when you think you've got them figured out and they're sounding so interested in playing tennis, they throw in a double fault.
Au revoir, Guga
It happened all the way back in the first round, but it provided a poignancy that pervaded the entire atmosphere at this year's French Open: Three-time champion Gustavo Kuerten, hobbled by a bad hip that ended his career too soon, bid farewell to his career. While he has said that if an Olympic berth is offered he might make one last appearance, for all intents and purposes, this was Guga's final goodbye as a professional player. From his first surprising victory here as an unknown to his two that came when he was an established force in the game, Kuerten added a pizzazz to Paris -- samba drums and dancers continuously circled the Roland Garros grounds all the times he was crowned king of clay.
The last American standing
For Americans on clay, it's typically a waiting game to see which players show the fewest allergies to the surface. This year that prestigious honor fell to Robby Ginepri, who stayed around long enough -- the fourth round -- to allow an American to be recorded in action. That was a huge achievement for Ginepri, who never before went beyond the first round in Paris. And it was a huge showing for the American men, who the previous year had nine players show up and lose in the first round. They came, they played and now they dust off the dirt and head to Wimbledon, where the U.S. contingent will have a better chance of mowing the grass.
80 years grand
To commemorate the the 80th anniversary of the Stade Roland Garros, past champions were celebrated before Sunday's final. Some of the biggest applause by the crowd was for Bjorn Borg, Ilie Nastase, Gustavo Kuerten and Yannick Noah -- the latter being the last Frenchman to win the title here in Paris in 1983. Borg, who won a record six titles on this stadium court, choked up when he addressed a few words to fans: "This is sort of my second home, playing on this court," said an emotional Borg. Some of the others in the parade of champions were Fred Stolle, Guillermo Vilas, Andres Gomez, Mats Wilander, Mary Pierce and Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario.
Springtime in Paris
The image has long been held as a given -- the romance of walking along the Seine, soaking up the sun and taking in all that makes the City of Lights so elegant and special. Well, that's not exactly how it went as these two weeks of spring rarely yielded sun, putting forth a steady dose of dreary, damp days. That's not to discourage fans from making the trip to the French Open, where the red clay provides an excellent backdrop for well thought-out matches. But if Roland Garros is in your future, don't forget a lined raincoat and your parapluie.

"I believe the greatest journey you will ever take is the one within yourself. Only through this act of surrender to all that is unresolved in your life will you learn to love the questions themselves, and even welcome a hope and a future. Denying yourself the journey can lead to deeper pain and confusion, for brokenness without understanding is hopelessness. Therapy is a partnership that fosters a growth process that provides knowledge and understanding, and helps you address the issues that keep you from being fully alive, and from enjoying satisfying relationships.

"We meet the person of our dreams and it is as if a magical transformation takes place. Life feels full of promise and happiness. We feel energized and whole. Then, before we know it, the relationship has changed and our partner no longer seems to be so perfect. We become desparate to get the magic back. Feeling unsatisfied, we struggle to get our partner to give us what we need and want. Criticism, anger, blame, or withdrawal replace the interactions that used to be so mutually enjoyable. Frustration settles in because the relationship is stuck, going nowhere.

"I once told a close friend that finding the "right" therapist (one that they would mesh well with) is similar to dating; it can be slightly uncomfortable until they find the right fit. Because I understand that seeking assistance to address individual, couple, or family issues is a deeply personal & brave process, I provide a compassionate and trusting environment to all my clients. I believe that therapy is a goal-directed, collaborative process between therapist and client(s). I can assist in helping you identify needs/goals, processing unresolved feelings/experiences, & successfully reaching your established goals in a timely manner.

"Experience is the great teacher. The quality of your life is very dependent on past and present experiences. Depression, anxiety, loss,grief,PTSD,or relationship problems arise from difficult or traumatic personal experiences. Much of this stems from the way your autonomic system responds. Psychotherapy allows you to examine your emotional responses, your emotional expression and your personal history to reduce or eliminate present symptoms. As a result, you will have more joy and fulfillment in your daily living-to live in the NOW.
A phone consultation is encouraged to see if this is right for you.

"Have you ever wondered where that anger comes from, or why you can't seem to shake that feeling of guilt or self-deception that keeps getting the best of you? My approach centers around understanding where we get our anxiety and how we can work to create a better sense of calm in our lives.

Product description
The elusive French luminary Joseph Joubert is a great explorer of the mind's open spaces. Edited and translated by Paul Auster, this selection from Joubert's notebooks introduces a master of the enigmatic who seeks "to call everything by its true name" while asking us to "remember everything is double." "Joubert speaks in whispers," Auster writes. "One must draw very close to hear what he is saying."

Author information
Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) was a philosopher who associated with the leading French thinkers of his day. He published little during his lifetime, preferring to record his thoughts in his voluminous notebooks. After Joubert's death, his friend, Chateaubriand, distributed these writings, which won Joubert posthumous fame and influence. Paul Auster is the author of ten novels, most recently The Book of Illusions. He lives with his wife and daughter in Brooklyn, NY.
Review quote
"'He was one of the first completely modern writers, preferring the center to the sphere, sacrificing results to the discovery of other conditions, and writing not in order to add one book to another but to take command of the point from which it seemed to him all books issued' Maurice Blanchot"

I usually look at the article featured in the side bar on the points/login page. Of course I may be rereading an article so no new points. I also usually looks at the offerings on the start page and ones suggested by others in the groups I belong to at Spark People. Like many here I have several articles on my list for easy access in "My Spark Favorites". What you need to help you through one day may not be the best aid on another so variety is good.

I read "Manage Yourself in No Time." I hope to use some of the ideas in this article to accomplish more things in my day. I mess around too much and get distracted. I already do a running to-do list and stock up. Waiting on others or for something to happen slows me down as well as the perfection (if I can't do the whole thing why start). I will make a conscious effort to get going and squeeze things in as I can.

I read "The Importance of Systems in Achieving Goals". I have created two systems for my SparkPeople goals so far. The first one was a routine for the last hour before my bedtime in order to reach my goal of 7 hours of sleep 5 times a week. It mostly works. The second system is that I have put 3 weekly goals on my board above my computer. I will change them every week so they don't fade into something that I don't see anymore, but keep them in front of me on that whiteboard. I just started that one.

I read The 10% Solution. This article suggests having a weight loss goal of 10%, because it is a sufficient amount to start seeing results, and is less intimidating .
When I started my Spark People account last August, and entered all my information, it told me I need to loose 50 lbs. Here I am in April nowhere near that goal. I think 20 lbs is much more doable. That's my new goal. When I meet that goal, I'll celebrate, then make a new goal.

I read 4 Steps to Lasting Behavioral Change
The ancient Greeks had a word for this other form of learning: praxis. Praxis is a four-stage process of: 1.Observing your own actions and their effects 2.Analyzing what you observe 3.Strategizing an action plan 4.Taking action I think step 1 is the most important: journal what you are doing and follow the remaining steps to make use of it. |
I read the article "What your bad habits say about you."
What I received from this was that I am not perfect and no one is. It is important to assess what is going on and what you are doing to sabotage your health plan. With me I am an emotional eater. I quit drinking years ago, smoked more cigarettes, then it went to quitting smoking to eating more. It was like I just replaced the issue with something else that was bad for me. "Hi, my name is Melissa, and I am an emotional eater." I am a single mother and yes life gets stressed. Food is cheaper than cigs or drinks. I am now fighting high blood pressure issues along with overweight issues. Uh, hello, yes I know I need to change. I have realized I am or have become lazy. So, what I will do is just make a list of bad habits and good ones. Compare. Here is the kick, get someone who knows you well (really well) and have them assess your list. Tell them to be honest (without hurting feelings) and have an open mind about it. Let that person know they need to be supportive and help you get rid of the habits and really change. Life is short and we were only given one. Thank you for this challenge. Whatever you ask for in prayer,
believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (NIV) Mark 11:24 I only take one day at a time, and not worry about the past. Right now is what is important. One person said to me, "if you don't try, you have lost nothing, but if you do try, then you have gained confidence to do better"

I read the Motivation Article 5 Mind Games You Need to Stop Playing. There were some good tips on taking smaller steps and not trying to do everything at once. Really enjoyed it.
Lovin the skin you're in.
Well, I feel like I hardly need to read any articles, all of you are very inspirational to me!
But I did read "How to Deal With Setbacks" I'm not sure "setback exactly defines what I am dealing with -- but for the last 3-1/2 months I've been juggling the same 3 pounds. Up and down, up and down, between 229 and 231. The upside: I've been maintaining. The downside: 230 is most definitely not where I want to maintain. The problem is, I KNOW what I need to do... but am torn between taking the easy route of staying in my comfort zone, and pushing myself just a bit to become healthier and work towards my weight loss goal. I seriously need to regroup and define what, exactly, is important to me, and how i am going to achieve that goal. It IS important to me to lose the weight, at least down to 160, but preferably more like 150, and to do that I need to: 1. Accurately track my intake with the nutrition tracker. 2. Cook healthy meals -- I'm the only one cooking, so who else is there to blame? 3. Quit kidding myself that having a "few" drinks in the evening won't hurt anything... Fortunately, spring is nearly here (in the Michigan Upper Peninsula it tends to come around the time summer arrives for everyone else) and I will be able to get out of the house and be more active! And, I am very determined not to give up on working toward my goals, I KNOW it can be done with the help of the SP community. This is what I took away from that article: "Above all, dont live with regrets. Approach life with perseverance" and dedication to the things that matter most to you. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give up, or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever it is you want." Keep up the good work, everyone -- together Sandy (Michigan Upper Peninsula) -- Say "Ya!" to da U.P, eh?

I just read the article All Is Not Lost - overcoming nutrition mistakes. This taught me that when I make nutrition mistakes that I don't have to completely give up. I can learn from the mistakes I made and try better next time.
One thing I know I have to do is eat every 3 or 4 hours rather than putting off meal time for several hours. When I delay eating I always eat more than I had planned and it's not always the healthiest choices. At the end of the day, be able to look back and say "I did my best today." *************************** Stephanie in Nova Scotia Atlantic Daylight Savings Time

Was motivated by Millie5522 "The Measure of Success is How you Deal with Dissappointment."
Basically, it talks about giving up....control, need to always be right, fear, what others think of you. As a caregiver, I look for ways to simplify my life. I choose not to be tied down to electronics (smartphones, cell phones, pdas). It's not to say I don't use them. I do. When I need to. However, it is not my first mode of communication. Sometimes, often times, less is more. Less hassle, less stress, more living in the present. Doing that helps to keep the emotional/stress eating at bay.

I read "Crisscross Your Way to a Better Life"
www.sparkpeople.com/resource/motivat io n_articles.asp?id=193 It talks about the way good habits can influence and support other good habits - like getting a good night's sleep can make it easier to get up in time to eat breakfast. I would like to apply what I'm learning about physical health to financial health. That may seem like it's outside the scope of what we're talking about here, but I think if I was more disciplined about my budget, I would have less stress. Win-win. |

Just read the brief article on how many minutes we should exercise. I have increased my exercise minutes to 300 per week or 5 hours. I found by doing this that I can lose about 1 pound per week, if I stay within my calorie range.
I accomplish this be taking a 15 to 20 minute walk at lunch which still leaves me time to eat before having to get back to work. I also take a walk when I get home from work. I do a 10 minute work out with weights or resistance bands after dinner or while watching a TV show. I make it to the gym twice a week for heavy cardio and resistance training. I have set a goal to walk 8 miles per week which keeps me motivated to walk. I have also set a goal to walk a total of 500 miles this year! That is outside miles, not on the treadmill. I am at 126.4 miles since 1/1/13. I'm not losing weight...I'm getting rid of it! I have not intention of finding it again!

5 Mind Games You Need to Stop Playing Good article. I really need to take notice of the advice not to just "Go for the Gold" and start setting more short term goals for myself. As the article says, setting short term goals, creating a network of accountability, and tracking improvement in other areas, like strength and endurance, instead of relying on weight loss as the sole criteria for success would give me a more immediate sense of accomplishment and help keep me motivated to continue.

I read "Why Do We Beat Ourselves Up?" I am a pretty optimistic, easy going person but like a lot of people I can be pretty hard on myself. I think it's a big reason I have been a yoyo dieter in the past. I have been consistently (and slowly) losing weight for over 3 years now. I know my attitude has changed to really feeling like I will do this now and will keep it off. I think the biggest reason is that I am more patient with myself, knowing that I won't be "perfect" in my program and being pleased to be making progress.

I realize that since my accident, I have completely changed my habits and need to get back to being the extrovert and planner that I used to be. My old habits will no longer help me lose weight or be in shape.
