Few days passed away. Arohi was constantly a support for Arjun. Whenever
he would feel low, She was there to cheer him up and bring him back to
life. He decided to do his PHD in management further to get a better
grip of management and after applying for his admission in his old
university, he started on with his PHD program.
"Arjun...Don't you play any kind of sports?" Arohi one day asked generally while picking out chips from the bag. The books were scattered around them in his apartment as in just two days Arohi had to submit her final project. "Yeah i do play Volley Ball for my university...actually next week we are having a match against another university" Arjun said laying on the sofa as they took a break from the studies. "Oh really...Can I come over to see it?" Arohi asked with a very chirpy voice. "Yeah sure..." Arjun replied closing his eyes. He was in need to have a no silence moment. Arohi understand that and decided to work on the presentation when her phone buzzed. She picked it up to see her friends message, asking her if she will like to join them in club tonight. It was long since Arohi went out with her friends somewhere so she quickly said yes and after pressurizing Arjun a little, made him agree too to go out with her.
And the club was surly a great idea as the last streak of disappointment, that Arjun had was finally disappeared. He enjoyed his time with Arohi and his friends consist of Shefali, Romit, Jay, Poorvi and Sanchit. The danced, drink a little and went out to eat in pizza hut. Sanchit dropped everyone in his jeep. The jeep stopped infront of Arohi's home when Jay turned and got attention of both, Arohi and Arjun. "Arjun, Are you free this Saturday. We are planning a short trip to Goa for three days and we would really like if you could join us" All eyes turned to Arjun who was scratching his temple. "Guys, I would really like to come but I have a volleyball match this Thursday and If we would qualify then we have a final to play on next Tuesday..." Arjun explained about his game. "Hmmm..." Jay thought for a moment and came up with a plan. "How about we leave at Thursday night and we can come back on Sunday evening so Arjun can relax on Monday and then can participate in final match" That sound logical and all nodded in approval. "What say Arjun?" Now Arohi asked him with a twinkle in her eyes. "Thats a great idea...but my practice?" Another issue got raised by him and all sigh. "Arjun, In goa we can play beach volley ball yaar...thats not a problem ok" Sanchit suggested and Arjun nodded. Its long he went out of town, and in this current situation, he was surly in need to have a break.
"Xaviers...Xaviers" Arohi was cheering at top of her lungs for Arjun's team in rhythm with his university mates. The end was around and Arjun had to serve the ball. Xavier needs the last point to win though they were already leading with 24-19 points but this last point would be the stamp on there success. Arjun pushed the ball in the air. The crowd was cheering furiously but there hearts were beating as fast as they could. Arjun jumped up and gave a solid hit, pushing the ball on the other side of the net. The rivals did caught a hold of ball but just before he was about to land on the ground. The slight push given by him was not enough to send it back to the other side. Another guy tried to get closer but the ball was far out of his reach and hit the ground. Referee show the flag on Xavier side, making them earn the last point as the whole Xavier crowd was cheering and hooting for there winning team. Arjun mates hugged him wishing him congrats. His eyes moved up to look at Arohi who was jumping on the huge stairs, where she was sitting before and on seeing him looking at herself, she gave a thumbs up sign as a bright smile lit up her face. Arjun removed his wining shirt in happiness. Arohi run down into the ground towards him with open arms. Arjun expected a hug and prepared himself but when she actually landed into his arms, he stumbled two steps back before getting himself stable. "Awww Arjun...Congrats...You were fabulous" She squealed into his ear before breaking the hug, giving him a wide smile. "Thank you" He humbly replied with a sweet smile as she get back. He took hold of the shirt, he removed and made her wear as a thank you for all the support, she provided in last few weeks.
Aayega woh paas jo door hai
Maan ja..
Ke hona yeh zuroor hai
Yeh dil to deewana hai
Kab ka havana hai
Tu yeh soch le..
Leaning back comfortably on his sand
chair, wearing nothing but just his shorts, he looked up at his front to
admire the vast sea, displayed. He took a deep breath to inhale that
beautiful sea smell and a smile got on his lips.Its been 1st day of them
in Goa. He loves sea more than mountains. He had even went out with his
friends for scoobadiving and it was one hell of an experience. Watching
the beautiful inner life of sea, moving along with those colorful
fishes. But. OH MY GOD!!!! What a sight he got to see. His jaw dropped
seeing the ethereal dusky beauty coming out from the water. And what
draw his attention more was that, she was AROHI. His mind boggles
looking at her wearing just her one piece swimwear that was hugging her
body like a second skin. "God!! She is hot" He heard someone say beside
him and an instant anger rise up in his body when he looked at two guys,
wearing shorts, drinking coconut water were standing beside him and a
lusty look were throwing on Arohi's way. One part of his body want to
bash up those boys, telling them exactly what's hot in here and other
part, want to run away and wrapped her in the security of his arms, to
keep her protected. A battle was still running inside his body when
Shefali, Poorvi and Arohi get on that mat, they had placed near sea and
wrapped there waists with clothes. He turned to look at those guys who
had left too. He leaned back with a confused look, trying to understand
as why he felt so agitated on knowing that someone eyes Arohi. He looked
at her smiling self who was enjoying the sun while leaning back on her
hands. Her hairs were wet from her sea diving and was in a chat with
Shefali and Poorvi. Arjun was feeling restless. He needed a way to
distract himself so he got up and went towards the sea. Getting into a
good level, he took a deep breath, filling his lungs with enough air and
dived in.
Arohi's eyes didn't miss the drooling look on Arjun face, when she came out after her dive. But suddenly he looked away and all she could feel on his face was anger and desperation. She was confused and choose to ignore him while getting herself busy in a chat with Shefali and Poorvi but she couldn't miss him passing by her and get into the sea. Her eyes lingered over the sea as he dived in and was beating furiously, when she didnt see him out after a few seconds. But he came up and she took a sigh of relief, holding her heart before looking back at him. He was marching out as if he owns the sea. As if, he is some sea king, marching in his estate. The droplets of water were running on his body continuously as she felt her mouth go dry, seeing his perfect abs, proudly showing there existence over his slightly tanned skin. He was gorgeous with that little boyish beard and had a body to drool on. "He is smookingly hot yaar" Shefali commented that make me get out from his trance and look daggers at her. "Shefali, don't you have Romit?" She asked seething with anger but tried to keep her voice cool. "I do...but you can't just stop appreciate a Mango in summers when you do get apple everyday, in every month...now can you" She said, still looking in Arjun's direction. Poorvi cracked up with Shefali's resemblance of Arjun with Mango...Seriously, a man matching with a fruit. Arohi too joined Poorvi in her laughter as Shefali realized what she said and get embarrassed. Her cheeks were pink that made the, laugh more. Shefali is a crack piece but sometimes, she is so mature. Arohi loves her friends craziness. "Arohi...You and Arjun are being together from a few weeks now...Have you ever felt a pull towards him?" Arohi's laughter died with Shefali's question who was still looking at Arjun's way. "What do you mean by that Shefali?" She asked, raising her brow. Shefali turned to look at her and shrugged her shoulders. "I mean...He is sweet, good natured, handsome, attractive and not to mention...very hot...Have you ever thought about the scenerio as what if he hadn't been in love with that girl? What if, you both had met the way you did just without him being in love already, as he stated that. Would you had said yes to him?" She asked and Poorvi's cunning eyes were too set on Arohi's to catch her reaction but she was dumb. Her eyes were fixed on Arjun. Its not like she hadn't thought about it, she did, many times. It was hard to resist him when he used to sit so close to her during studies, trying to get her attention on a main point. But she knew, that him being in love, the thoughts will lead her nowhere. She was still in thoughts where Poorvi jerked her shoulder and she startled, looked around as she was at lost of an answer. Poorvi and Shefali noted her averted gaze and sigh. There friend needed a push and they were there to do that. "You know something Arohi? Poorvi started getting her attention. "You both with make a really sweet yet a hot pair" A side-looped smile graced her soft pink lips that turn into a grin later on as her friends grinned back at her..
The trip to Goa was a memorable one. Arohi felt her breath got caught in her lungs whenever she watched Arjun and the guys playing beach volleyball while she and girls get settled on the sand, to watch them. Whenever his dusky skin gets that bright sand all over it, she couldn't stop herself to drool over his body. He was charismatic and he was so unaware of it. She saw many girls eying his broad chest with perfect abs, his looks, that would instantly send her on a high temperature. She was getting possessive of him. And same was going on with Arjun too. Seeing someone looking at her with lust-filled eyes, would made him boggles. He actually beat a guy in the club, who was constantly trying to dance close to her, when the went out one night. His nerves were on high alert. He was getting too precise to notice her beautiful giggle, her mesmerizing smile that make you smile too, her childish kind of frown when she don't get something like her way, and her narrow eyes, who says more question than her raise brows or her lips. He was liking this girl, way more than he actually know.
kab armaan machlenge
kisko hai yeh pata
kab mausam badlenge
kisko hai yehpata
pyaar ho jata hai kaise
jaane na jaane na jaane na
jaane na dil tera
Arohi was settled with her friends on the stairs of her university's corridor as they were seeing the picture of Goa in her laptop. Arjun's final was in the afternoon and this whole group was going to cheer him up. The slideshow was on when this whole group along with arjun went to that banana boat ride and fell in the water, some group photos on the beach, in club, in the lounge of there hotel, terrace of there rooms. They all were watching and remembering the fun they had. One picture of Arjun and Arohi get displayed on the screen where Arohi was wearing a beach hat in a tilted position. A smirk was there on her face as she was doing this pose and Arjun was laughing at her cuteness. "See, I told you, You guys make a good couple" Poorvi said with happiness. "You both look so cute together" Shefali chimed in. "Really?" Arohi asked with a hopeful yet happy look on getting this compliment. "Really buddhu...What say jay?" Shefali asked Jay who agreed and Sachit and Romit too nodded. Arohi was happy just by hearing this comment of her friends, unaware of the pair of eyes, who get a look of the picture and was seething with anger.
match started as Arohi with her friends get settled on the huge stairs of the ground, once
again. She crossed her fingers and was constantly praying for Arjun's
success. The other team was surly tough. Just in the start they scored 6
points while Xavier's were on Nil. Xavier crowd was feeling down. No
one was cheering anymore when One of Arjun mates get a point and the
crowd get wild and then, there was so back off. Xaviers cope up with the
loss pretty quickly and were leading from 11 to 8. Arohi's eyes lit up
everytime Arjun made a score and her friends teased her mercilessly on
her excitement. Finally after a 45 minutes match, Arjun's university won
the finale, earning them a huge trophy. Arohi cheered on top of her
lungs as Arjun and his friends get on the stage to receive there trophy.
When crowd was allowed in, Arohi quickly rushed in, leaving her friends
behind and as if he was waiting for her, he caught her from her waist
as she landed in her arms and pulled her up in a happy twirl. Her
friends smiled brightly, seeing there obvious chemistry. "You won...You
won" Arohi shouted as he put her back on the ground. "Yep" He laughed at
her but then his eyes landed on her dress, making him look back at her
face with a raise brow. She was wearing the his same sports shirt, he
put on her a few days back. Arohi observed his gaze and shrugged her
shoulders in reply. "I thought this is the best sports wear that i
have..." Arohi mumbled making Arjun smile as he shook his head before
looking back at her cute face. This girl is crazy and he is so liking
and loving her craziness.
"Arjun..." Arohi whined on the phone. "What happened?" He asked rubbing his wet hairs with a towel as he just came out after taking a bath. "I need your help..." She bit her lowered lip when he just made a sound as if asking her to go on. "Will you be my partner for prom tonight?" She said only to jear Arjun laugh. "Why what happened? Your partner dumped you?" He teased her. "No" came straight out of her mouth. "He didnt dump me...he just get into a small accident and get his knee injured...and others are not interested to go out with me as I am a dare devil type na...they are just painly scared" She said in a fake angry tone while remembering how 5 of her classmates has asked her and she turned them down.. "Hmmm" Arjun jumped on to his bed, rubbing his chin with a deep thought. He cant believe at all that no one has asked Arohi. From Sanchit, Jay and Romit, he got to know that she is the one of the most famous girl in college. Bit then, he was more than glad to have an opportunity to go out her, as her man. Oh mean partner. "Is it taking you so much time to answer?" She asked in an irritated tone that snapped him out from his thoughts. "NO NO...absolutely no" Arjun said quickly, trying to cover up his aloofness. "What? No? You dont wanna come with me?" Her hart sink with his reply as thoughts gripped her mind. She just wanted to take a hint if he was interested in her so she could seriously think about themselves as living in a hypothetical bubble was not her style and definately, after what happened to Arjun before, She wasnt ready to take a risk with her heart. "Arohi, you getting me wrong..."Arjun tried to explain. "Ofcourse i will love to go out with you" He said bitting his lips as the words slipped out from his mouth. Arohi's eyes lit up with his response and a smirk got place when she thought about the LOVE TOO part. "I mean, i am a good friend and as a friend, i should help you out...right?" Arjun said but his voice was more like he was assuring herself than her and she knew it. "Ok good friend" She mimicked her words, grinning inside. Her body was exploding with happiness. She wanted to jump around and shout in joy. "I guess, i will be picking you up tomorrow then?" Arjun asked scratching his temple. A rush of excitement run in his body. "Yeah...be here at 7..." She said hesitantly before whispering "I will be waiting" softly. Arjun felt himself melted inside just with the sheer beauty of her voice. Saying yes, he end the call while rushing his hands through his hairs. A smile lit up on his face just with the thought that she is counting on him. Somehow, he felt that whatever excitement, anxiousness, he is feeling for Arohi is not what he felt for Radhika. This time this feeling is more deep,more powerful and more strong and then he wondered that whatever he felt for Radhika was even love? He paced into his room when another thought strike his mind. "Does that mean whatever he is feeling for Arohi is love?" He questioned himself but the feelings were too eaw, too new to have an answer instantly. "I should take things as they come" He found a solution.
Nazar se nazar miley

To dekhenge aankhein sapna
Jo yun koi saath chalein
To lagne lagega apna
Arjun rushed to the other side of
his car, after passing the key to the valet, to help her get down
infront of the university campus. He put
forward his hands and felt his mouth go dry when she looked up at him
with her sparkling kohl eyes. A beautiful smile was gracing her lips
when she put forward her sleek hand in his manly one and get out. Both
felt a spark in there touch and Arohi wrapped her hans around his arm,
as they went towards the main door. Inside the atmosphere was quite
fun. The main hall of her university was fully packed with students who
were mostly wearing black and red, a somewhere a hint of white was also
displayed. Arohi's friends greet them soon and along with Shefali and
Poorvi, Arohi went towards the dance floor which was buzzing woth The
Disco song.
Arjun went towards the bar with the guys and all get themselves a soft drink as hard drinks were prohibited in university's boundary. He turned on his stool to look at Arohi swaying with the music. Her red dress, which almost made him breathless when he first saw her in the evening today, was hugging her body till her knees. It was a simple dress that had some large shinny stones along the neck line as the dress covered her one shoulder, leaving other bare which she smartly covered with her hairs as they were tied in a neatly made pony tail. Her face was having a light layer of make up along with that ark sweet red lipstick, completely showing the length of her lips. She matched nice silver pomps to go the dress and the way shr was swaying, Arjun knew many guys were having there eyes on her.
Soon the disco
song finished and girls get back only to grab the boys hand for the next
dance, which was a slow number from Race 2. Atif Aslam and Sunidhi
Chauhan's voice filled the air as shefali and romit get on the dance
floor, following by jay and poorvi and arjun and arohi.
Arjun hands sweetly slipped around her waist, caressing it with his finger tips while Arohi's hand went around his neck. They should have felt a little awkward with there closeness but all they felt was a craving to.be more close then they were.
There eyes silently conveying the message which there lips couldn't as they were too afraid to say anything that could hurt there friendship. The song ended after they swayed softly on the tunes. "One more song?" Arjun asked with pleading eyes and Arohi couldn't say No. She nodded and they were just about to dance when Arjun felt a tap om his shoulder. A boy was standing behind him with an annoying look. "Arohi...you turned down 4 other boys along with me but can't we have a dance atleast?" His words shocked Arjun as he looked back at Arohi who was bitting her lips while looking away. She turned down t guys to come with him. What does that mean? He wondered but somewhere that smile placed on the corner of her lips and the blush crept on her cheeks did tell him a story as he smiled inwardly. Turning back he look at the guy, and answered for Arohi. "Sorry man...she is with me and I just asked her for another dance...You can try later" The guy looked at him and then at Arohi before giving an understanding nod and left. Arjun hands teasingly went around her waist and pulled her close as her hands rested on his chest. "Look up at me" Arjun whispered while Arohi was trying to look around. When she didnt, Arjun moved up his hand and cupped her face, to make her look up. Her mischievous eyes met his dark one and it felt like, he gpt all his answers. Arohi shying looked away as Arjun pulled her more close and she rested her head on his chest.
Soon the song ended and Arjun
quietly lead her to a corner. His hand didn't loose it contact over
her's. "Arohi" He took her name in a prayer like tone. So soft, full of
love and hope. He needed to know some answers right away before his head
explode with confusion. Arohi looked up at him with a hesitant
expression. She knew she has fallen in love with this amazing handsome
man, but feeling this love and then saying it, are two different things.
She can feel anything freely but about saying it out, she doubted that
her feeling could get reciprocated back as Arjun was hurt before, and
falling in love once again right now, wasn't a easy thing for him. "Why
you lied to me?" He questioned breaking her trance. "About what?" She
was clueless right now, being deep in his thoughts. Arjun sigh while
rubbing his forehead with his free hand. "You said you dont have a
partner that why you want me to accompany you here" He explained with a
cute frown. Arohi was getting a little tired of this hide and seek game
so thought of going ahead, she replied. "No Arjun, I wanted you to
accompany me thats why i didn't get any partner" She replied making
Arjun stunned. Does that mean...Oh really that mean that she wants...she
likes...him.. He thought and look into her eyes to see a longing and
helplessness. He shook his head. This can't be possible. How can he get
so lucky? He was just thinking about it when someone called him from
behind. "Arjun" He turned to get stunned once again, seeing Radhika
standing with a wide smile. He thought he lost his voice for a moment
before replying. "Radhika, What are you doing here?" He asked quickly.
Radhika hesitantly smiled before replying. "I joined this university for
my M.Phil...ummm...Arjun I am really sorry for whatever happened
between us...I really am...Now i have realized how big mistake I made by
letting you go..." Arjun looked at her with a raise brow while Arohi's
heart dipped on hearing this coversation as she took a small step back.
"The man i loved...was a big time play boy and just used me...and then i
realized how foolish i was, to no understand your..." Radhika stopped
in the middle as Arjun raise his hand in the air. He couldn't take it
anymore. "Stop this Radhika" He ordered but Radhika moved forward and
cupped his face in her palm. "Why Arjun? You told me you love
me...Didn't you?" She asked in a sweet voice, enough to get him melted
but unfortunately, it wasn't working. Arohi tried to turn away but
Arjun's grip on her hand got tighter, making her stop in her way. Arjun
pushed Radhika's hand away and pointed a finger at her. "I am not a
puppet Radhika that you can use however you like...I am so over
you...Actually I am thinking that whatever i felt for you was even able
to be call as love..." He barked with anger, keeping his voice a lil low
as he don't want any audience. Radhika looked at her with hollow eyes
before he ignored her completely and turn to look at Arohi, who was
standing there with a teary face. Just the thought of loosing Arjun made
her cry. Arjun wiped her tears, softly before whispering. "Arohi...You
wanted me to have a second heart break, but what if I dont want a
heart-break now...??" He lifted up her face to make her realize what he
means. "What if I need your support to help me go through this journey
beside you, Can you promise to take care of my poor heart who seeks love
from you?" He asked with tenderness pouring out from each of his words.
His words were not direct but clear enough for her to get all happy. A
smile lit up on her face as Arjun asked "Can you promise to love me all
through my life?" He questioned next as another tear dropped from her
eye. "Till my last breath" She whispered through a smile making Arjun
smile too, as he pulled her in a hug. "I love you" He whispered near her
ears, making her all blush. "I love you too" She whispered back
promising herself to never ever let Arjun get hurt. He was precious and
sweet...and she will cherish this blessing of his existence, all her
life. And for him, she meant more than anyone else he met before. They both needed time to work on there relationship, but they both didn't want to let there feelings hide from eachother as if it gets late, all you got to do is cry over spilt milk.

Arohi and Arjun tried to catch up there breath while leaning on the main door of his apartment. The kiss, their first kiss, they just shared now was way more passionate, sweet and intimate than they had ever imagined. It has been three months since that prom night, they were dating. There parents were unaware of there budding relationship and her friends were more than ready to help them out to escape from cunning eyes of their parents. Today, just few hours back, Arjun expressed his love infront of a group of people that were present in that cafe, where they first met and which was now, one of there fav spot. Arohi surly was elated with the proposal and accepted it, and as a proof, a small simple gold ring was gracefully placed in her finger. They just rushed back to his apartment to celebrate when her Arjun noticed that the zip of her dress was a little open at the back. He moved closer to her to drew it up but Arohi mis-interpreated his attention and moved back till she hit the door. Arjun smiled inwardly seeing that scared face of this brace Arohi and didn't let his facial emotion show how funny she was looking. Arohi looked at her with a bewildered expression as he approached her and hold her shoulders. "Arjun, what are you..." She started saying when Arjun put his finger on her lips whispering "Sshhh". His finger caressed her lips when he took hold of her shoulder and turned her around against the door. Arohi's heart was beating so furiously that she felt that whole room could hear its beat. Arjun's tantalizing fingers smoothly moved her hairs away which were caught in a ponytail on her shoulder. Arohi closed her eyes, not knowing what to do. Pushing him was so hard and for sure, she didn't had that strength too. Arjun teasingly moved her fingers at her back and when she was sure, she was about to faint, he pulled the zip up, making her surprize. Arjun smiled while nuzzling her hairs, inhailing the sweet smell of her shampoo as he whispered. "I willn't do anything that you are not comfortable with...Plus i just wanted to protect you from anyone's else gaze...Cant stand if anyone look at you with evil eyes..." Arohi's heart fill with love for this amazing amazing man. He cared so much for her and her wellness. Slight tears filled her eyes as she turned and get into the hold of his arms. She softly cupped his face while looking straight into his eyes and then, they both didn't know who initiated the kiss as the next thing they found was there lips on each other and that was one hell of there kiss. Each's first kiss.
Arjun turned his face to look at her and came infront of her to pull her once again in his arms. Somehow, the feeling of having her in his arms make him feel complete. Her hands get placed on his chest and he took hold of her hand to bring it close to his lips. He placed a soft kiss on her knuckles and rubbed that place with his thumb. He looked up next to found her cheeks turned into a soft pink color, making her have a beautiful glow out there. He couldn't resist tasting her once one. The urgency was too much. "I love you so much Arohi" He said quickly pulling her to him as he kissed her once again. "I love you too..." She whispered against his lips before loosing herself. She was his healer, his medication and now, after knowing how much she worth it, he surly planned to cherish her forever.

The title says it all. Which meal is the largest for you. I am finding that if I eat too little for breakfast or lunch, then I want to snack a lot all day. However, I usually don't want much for breakfast. Dinner is kinda a joke at our house right now--too many things going on that it is usually just "grab what you can". So, I am thinking this week to try a small/medium amount for breakfast, a substantial lunch, and a small/medium dinner. I am not a fan of the 6 small meals method--didn't work for me and I never felt satisfied. I don't mind the idea of a small snack in the afternoon though, especially if dinner is going to be late.
Lunch is biggest for me--when I'm hungriest and also when I am able to indulge a little without making my weight an issue. Or on those busy days, I can have breakfast and a couple of good snacks, then something substantial at 2:00 or 3:00. As much as I love dinner, it really needs to be the smallest meal of the day and it is more often than not bigger than it needs to be.
Breakfast, not to sound cliche, but it is the most important meal of the day...
Breakfast is usually my highest caloric meal of the day. I've lost nearly 30 lbs! I eat the same breakfast every day. I eat about every 3 hours. Breakfast is 4 egg whites plus 1 whole egg cooked in coconut oil. Plus oats measured dry 1/4 C, oat bran 1/4 C I simply use my tea kettle water to cover the oat mixture and cover with a plate while I cool the rest. I top the outs with fresh berries in season or, I use frozen. I like raspberries an blueberries, and always topped with 1 Tbs ground flax seeds, cinnamon, I drink water with my vitamins and fish oil then I start sipping me green tea.
Ouhh CookiePie, sounds good, how long have you had this routine?
When I was working out I had a bowl of oatmeal everyday, topped with strawberries (not in season anymore anyway! ahah, excuses excuses) and maple syrup. Then depending on when the baby would nap I would eat a yogourt before my run if feeling hungry or after.
Then a good lean protein with a salad. Love the organic girl packs, topped with cherry tomatoes, 4-5 pecans, maybe cucumbers and dressed with some hemp oil and balsamic vinegar. Mium!
Since I work evenings I usually eat dinner about 6:30 and eat leftovers from lunch but revisited or from dinner the day before. I usually eat a normal portion but always get a couple of chocolates afterward (it's not good to have 50% off candy at work!). Some days I'm alright at controling my sweets intakes and sometimes I feel completely addicted to it and I end up eating too much, feeling shitty.
I've had this routine for a very long time (years) with breaks here and there! I really look forward to breakfast everyday!
I eat 5 smaller meals each day. Start out with oatmeal and either fruit (or honey). Followed by yogurt mid-morning. I am thinking about trying Cookie Pie's flax seed and cinnamon. What a good way to start the day!
I find that I am most hungry at dinner time, and I usually like to snack in the evenings, even if its just a couple pieces of chocolate and some tea. So for me I keep the calories low during the day (< 400 per meal) and save them up for evening. I'm usually pretty busy during the day so my mind is not on eating so much.
Breakfast is easy because 1/2 cup (before cooking) of oatmeal gives me a good, filling breakfast. I add a tbsp of "Holy Crap" cereal (full of dense nutrients like chia seeds, hemp hearts, buckwheat, dried fruit, etc) and a tbsp of brown sugar, and about 1/4 cup of milk. Keeps me full for at least 3 hours, very satisfying, and only 300 calories. My other go-to breakfast is a bowl of cereal (I like Life cereal best). 1.5 cups of that and 0.75 cups of milk puts me at about 350 calories.
Lunch at this time of year is almost always soup (homemade usually) with either a slice or two of bread and butter, or a handful of crackers. Around 350 calories.
I really like pasta for dinner, so doing this allows me to enjoy that more often. Or if I choose a lighter dinner (turkey chili, for example) then I have room for desert! ;-)
I've been eating this way for almost 4 months and have lost 15 lbs so far (my goal is 20).
I feel so much better with a moderate breakfast, substantial lunch, and a light, mostly vegetable dinner that includes fat. So dinner feels light but usually has a good amount of butter and egg. That keeps me satisfied during the night and energetic during the day. Sadly, it's often difficult to prepare and plan ahead well enough to not fall into the baked-good breakfast, grab sushi lunch, ravenous for dinner trap :/
I eat only 2 meals each day: breakfast and dinner. Both are small but high-calorie. I'm a CRON practitioner but I eat low-carb high-fat, 1650 calories per day. I am 130 lbs, 45 yrs old, mod active, 5'6". I love my diet and feel great.
Like @CookiePie I also have a very large breakfast, usually 5 egg whites filled with spinach and 1/4 of an avocado, 1 slice of american cheese and 1 piece of whole wheat toast. Between breakfast and lunch I'll usually have an apple or grapefruit, lunch is usually a salad with grilled chicken. Right after work I get in some sort of exercise, it's usually either a jog, workout dvd, or a yoga class. Then for dinner I have lately been making protein shakes and they keep me full all night. I usually add a large handful of spinach and kale, 4 strawberries 1 cup of ice and 1/2 cup of of light almond milk, and topped off with 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein powder. I use Beachbodys whey protein powder (http://www.beachbody.com/product/supplements/whey_protein_powder.do), high in protein and low in sugar- make sure if you use protein powder to read the label because a lot of powders can be loaded with sugar. It is delicious and will keep be full for hours. Plus its easy to take on the road if I have to pick up the kids from their activities etc.
Mine is lunch........Hey!!! is that not right??? I skip breakfast most often.......Well that I know is wrong. Always have a good nutritious breakfast because it gives you all the energy you need for the day. Eating heavy before going to bed is the biggest cause of obesity these days. Mom used to say "Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince, Dinner like a Beggar" hahaha thats cool!!
My usual biggest meal of the day is breakfast or lunch. I am a breakfast eater so I eat porridge, egg, juice and fruits it helps me to be productive at work. I can't go to work without eating my breakfast because I feel so weak. Every weekend our family eat lunch together we usually prepared heavy meals like meat, vegetables and some desserts.
Breakfast is most important meal for me. I think timing of the main meal is main factor in effective weight loss program.Eating the biggest meal of the day earlier increases your chances of burning calories rapidly
Dinner. No questions. I love a big dinner. I look forward to it all day. I love cooking. I also do better on my calories if I know I need to save them for a big meal at the end of the day.
Breakfast is my largest meal of the day. Its high caloric.
Dinner...I can barely swallow early in the morning and I get a 20 minute lunch break...no time to eat much...So Dinner it is :)
Breakfast is my biggest meal. I'm not a morning person, so I need the energy from it. Plus I like that I have time to burn off the calories the rest of the day. :smile:

A Fitbit app update added support for the Moto X, Nexus 5 and several other devices back in December. And looking more recently, another round of device support has arrived with this latest Fitbit app update. Included this time around is the other Motorola device, the Moto G, as well as several variants of the Sony Xperia Z.
The Sony models include the Xperia Z, Z1, Z1S, ZL, ZR, Z Ultra, and Tablet Z. Basically, this means current Fitbit users with any of those devices will be able to stop syncing with their computer, and start syncing directly with their smartphone. Or in the case of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, with their tablet.
Users moving from syncing through a computer to mobile device will have a few options to consider. Take note here, these options deal with battery life. Or possibly more accurate, the lack thereof. Updating, or installing the app for the first time will bring a pop-up letting you know that background sync is off. As someone that regularly uses a Fitbit with a Moto X, trust me when I say that is a good thing.
Aside from clicking ok to get rid of that message, you'll then need to login using your existing Fitbit credentials. Once logged in you will see your dashboard with the daily details. Swiping to the left or right will cycle you through days. Otherwise, venturing into the "Devices" section (from the menu) will allow you to configure your device.
Once setup, you can then tap the device name and you'll see the battery level, the last time it performed a sync, and also the option to enable background sync. While I would encourage you to try that, you will want to keep an eye on your battery. Assuming you keep background sync turned off, the Fitbit will sync automatically when you open the Fitbit app on your device.
Fitbit users with one of these newly compatible phones can find the app in the Google Play Store.

Man Suffers Severe Injuries After E-Cigarette Explodes in His Mouth
ABC Digital
Updated at
(NICEVILLE, Fla.) — A Florida man is recovering at a local burn center after suffering severe injuries from an electric cigarette that exploded in his mouth.
Tom Holloway, 57, of Niceville, Fla., was smoking the e-cigarette Monday night when his wife heard an explosion from their study. She reportedly said it sounded like a firecracker had exploded in the house and she heard him scream, one of Holloway's neighbors told ABC News affiliate WCTI.
Chief Butch Parker of the North Bay Fire District responded to the call. He said a faulty battery inside the electric cigarette likely caused the accident. Parker described the explosion as if Holloway was holding a "bottle rocket in his mouth."
"I have never heard of or seen anything like this before," Parker told ABC News.
Parker said there was no way to recognize the brand of e-cigarette Holloway was smoking, but the battery appeared to be rechargeable lithium because there was a recharging station in the study.
Holloway, a Vietnam veteran, photographer and father of three, reportedly stopped smoking two years ago and turned to e-cigarettes to kick his smoking habit.
Parker said the explosion knocked out all Holloway's teeth and part of his tongue. The event also set fire to the room.
Electronic cigarettes have become a popular crutch for many who have quit smoking. The battery-operated smoking-cessation device simulates the act of tobacco smoking through physical sensation, appearance and even flavor.
E-cigarettes are currently not regulated by the FDA.
According to an FDA spokesperson, the government agency set forth its plans to develop a strategy to regulate additional categories of tobacco products in an April 2011 letter to stakeholders. In the Spring 2011 Unified Agenda (published in July), FDA announced its intent to issue a proposed rule deeming products meeting the definition of "tobacco product" to be subject to regulation by FDA under the Tobacco Control Act, which provides FDA with the authority to regulate certain categories of tobacco products, including cigarettes, tobacco and roll-your-own tobacco.
While the devices go unregulated, Americans who purchase e-cigarettes do so at their own risk, said Dr. Stephen Jay, professor of medicine and public health at Indiana University.
"These products, based on what we know and don't know, should be regulated now," said Jay. "There are no data regarding either their safety or effectiveness as an aid in tobacco-use cessation. Claims by manufacturers and distributors are just that — claims. The Internet is awash in pro-e-cigarette advertising [and] much of it is very misleading and aimed at vulnerable young people."

Awful story but hopefully people do not focus on this one negative. All the positives definitely outweigh.

Newcastle professor Stephen Graham to pay for graffiti spree
A university professor has been ordered to pay £28,000 compensation for scratching cars while dressed in his underpants and a suit jacket.
Stephen Graham, 48, from Jesmond, Newcastle, admitted four counts of criminal damage in January.
He was given a nine month prison sentence, suspended for a year at Newcastle Crown Court.
Graham scratched the words "very silly", "really wrong" and "arbitrary" on 27 cars in Jesmond in August 2011.
'Detached from reality'
Graham, who is based at Newcastle University's school of architecture, planning and landscape, had drunk alcohol mixed with medication before he caused £28,000 of damage to cars including a Mercedes, an Audi, a Volvo and a Mitsubishi.
The spree took place in Northumberland Gardens, a few streets away from where Graham lived in Lansdowne Gardens.
A report by a forensic psychiatrist, Don Grubin, for the defence, found the professor was in a "dissociative state" when he scratched the cars, and was "detached from reality".
Judge Guy Whitburn accepted his behaviour was totally out of character but said the compensation - effectively the professor and his wife's life savings - must be paid in full.
He added he hoped Mr Graham would be able to resume his career.
Julian Smith, mitigating, said his client was not merely drunk, and he showed no signs of aggression when arrested, but had a bad reaction to the medication and alcohol.
A spokesperson for Newcastle University said: "We will be considering the matter through normal university procedures. We are unable to comment further on an individual employee."

House Republicans participating in negotiations to extend the payroll-tax credit through the end of the year have signaled that they will support the GOP leadership's proposal to extend the tax cut without paying for it. Democrats, however, worry that separating it from two other expiring policies diminishes hope that a deal will be reached on all three measures.
A senior Republican leadership aide says that if President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid do not allow Sen. Max Baucus, the top Democrat in the discussions, to negotiate in good faith on "payfors" for the payroll tax credit, then House Republicans could reluctantly bring an extension to the floor as soon as this week that is not paid for to avoid a tax increase on the middle class at the end of the month.
Sources close to the negotiations say the conference committee has been unable to find any agreeable "payfors" for the tax extension and the new option is seen as a last resort ahead of the Feb. 29 deadline. The result would extend a 2 percent cut to middle-income tax rates through the end of the year, but add about $100 billion to the nation's $15 trillion deficit.
"It's not what we want to do," a GOP aide said.
But after the House Republican leadership announced the backup plan Monday, GOP negotiators began coming around to the realization that it's unlikely the committee will reach a deal before the stop-gap measure expires.
"Our deadline is approaching fast, and I welcome a rational alternative plan, while always bearing in mind the urgent need for Congress to be fiscally responsible in the face of annual deficits exceeding a trillion dollars," Rep. Nan Hayworth, R-N.Y., wrote in a statement.
Rep. Renee Ellmers, a freshman Republican from North Carolina, said that given the lack of progress at the negotiations, she believes "it is prudent for our leadership to have an alternative strategy moving forward."
Rep. Tom Reed, a freshman Republican from New York, also urged his GOP colleagues to support a stand-alone measure.
"Washington already takes too much from taxpayers, and time is running short to extend the tax holiday before it expires on February 29," Reed stated. "I am committed to forging an agreement in the House Senate conference committee, but as the deadline approaches it is wise to begin moving forward on a stand-alone extension to prevent a tax increase on 160 million hard-working taxpayers."
The GOP's shift is perceived as the speaker's challenging the president to see if he will accept a resolution to his top legislative priority. Congressional Democrats such as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have maintained that the payroll-tax credit should not be paid for unless Republicans agree to a surtax on millionaires.
The White House calls the GOP contingency plan a "hypothetical" proposal, but Democratic sources also fear that negotiations on unemployment insurance and the "Doc Fix" for physicians providing Medicare services will fail if they are separated from the tax extension.
"The Republican plan to decouple the payroll tax jeopardizes both the ability of seniors to see their Medicare doctors and benefits for millions of Americans who lost their jobs," Pelosi, D-Calif., warned. "There is no reason all three of these priorities cannot proceed at the same time as both the House and Senate agreed."
White House spokesman Jay Carney Monday said, "Let's just see how this process plays out. Extending unemployment insurance as well as the so-called doc fix is equally important, certainly very important, and very important for our economy.
"The president supports extending all of it, and doing it in a way that is easily achievable if folks put ideological and partisan positions aside and just get it done for the American people."
Still, at least one Republican source close to the negotiations has not given up hope that the conference committee will be able to strike a comprehensive compromise. "Having an escape hatch doesn't mean you jump through it," the aide said. "Negotiations are ongoing and productive."
There is still no word on when the full conference committee could meet next. Sources say House Republicans conferees are expected to meet privately today to discuss any lasting prospects of a bipartisan agreement.
The full House Republican Conference is expected to meet behind closed doors later this evening, at 6:00 p.m., to take the temperature of the rank and file on the leadership's backup plan.

The chairman of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System board was recovering Thursday after being pistol-whipped during a robbery at his University City home.
Harry Mathis, who turned 79 on Thursday, fired two shots at a masked gunman who confronted him in the garage of his Sandburg Avenue house about 9:15 p.m. Wednesday after returning home from Mayor Jerry Sanders' State of the City speech.
The robber demanded cash, and the two struggled over Mathis' gun. He suffered a head injury when he was beaten with the weapon.
Mathis' wife and a neighbor were being held hostage inside the single-story home by two other masked men, said San Diego police Lt. David Rohowits.
The neighbor was walking his dog when he saw some commotion and, knowing there had been previous burglaries at the house, ran inside, police Lt. Andra Brown said.
The robber was not hit when Mathis fired his gun. The former San Diego councilman has a concealed-weapon permit, the Sheriff's Department said Thursday.
After the struggle, the man ordered Mathis inside the house, where the robbers demanded money and searched the residence. The thieves told Mathis and the others to stay in a bathroom or they would burn down the house, Rohowits said.
Longtime friend Alexi Haag, who was with the couple at the hospital afterward, said that they were told their throats would be slit if they came out too soon.
When they emerged, they saw one robber in the garage, Brown said. He told them to go back inside. When they came out again, they found Mathis' Nissan Altima had been set on fire.
Next-door neighbor Mario Eyzaguirre, 32, was just getting home when he saw flames coming from the garage and called 911.
The blaze was mostly extinguished when firefighters arrived, and the flames did not spread to the structure, fire department spokesman Maurice Luque said.
Brown said two burglaries were reported at the Mathis home last year — one in November and one in December.
One of the intruders was described as black, about 30 years old, 6 feet tall and 185 pounds. The second was also black, about 40 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall and 215 pounds. The third man was light-skinned, possibly black or white, about 6 feet 2 inches tall and 225 pounds.
Lt. Rohowits said all three wore dark clothing and ski masks.
At the hospital Wednesday night, Haag said Mathis was in "great spirits" despite a black eye, bruises and cuts. "He looked pretty battered," she said.
He was released Thursday. His wife and the neighbor were not injured, Rohowits said.
A former Navy captain and commander of nuclear attack submarines, Mathis is serving his second term as chairman of the MTS board of directors. A councilman from 1993 to 2000, he and his wife have lived in University City since 1970. He was a former president of the University City Planning Group.
On Thursday, Mathis had been scheduled to attend the opening of the last segment of the $1 billion-plus Interstate 15 Express Lane project.
Gary Gallegos, director of the San Diego Association of Governments, expressed confidence at the opening that a "toughness acquired by Harry during his military career will help him pull through."
MTS spokesman Rob Schupp said Mathis returned home Thursday "with the usual bounce to his step," a smile and a wave.
"He's strong and resilient," Schupp said.
Anyone with information about the crime can call police at (619) 531-2299.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Thanks Anna,
It helps to hear other people's opinions. I guess in truth it really is up to me. This is a whole new area for me really. Growing up I was told all of that stuff was a sin, so when I was married I enjoyed the oral sex on me, but was afraid to admit that I enjoyed it, so I was riddled with guilt most of the time. But over the years I have learned and researched things out, except for this area of "swallowing". That seems ridiculous to me, but if it makes my partner feel complete then I will do that. It may gross me out, but I am willing to explore this area. I also feel however, if it becomes repulsive to me and I can't do it, then he needs to be considerate of me as well.

Santa Maria Energy will be able to drill its 136 planned new onshore wells, and add supporting pipelines in northern Santa Barbara County.
But, it will have to meet much stricter greenhouse gas emission guidelines than it expected.
KCLU's Lance Orozco reports hundreds of people turned out for a more than five hour long public hearing on the controversial issue.

This week's Publix Penny Item for November 24/26 is…

It looks like those of us whose ad changes tomorrow will have our regular Penny Item day, but for those whose Publix Ad doesn't start until Thursday will actually have to wait until Friday to get their Penny Item this week.
There are also a couple great gift card promotions going on this week (Thanks to IHeartPublix):

Florida stores do not participate, but often have their own in-store specials; inquire at customer service. Publix reserves the right to change the Penny Item if they choose, so don't wait until the end of the day if this is an item you really want!

The government presented a list Tuesday of 24 luxury items that will be banned from export to North Korea, hoping to deal another blow to the Kim Jong Il regime following the country's Oct. 9 nuclear test.
"North Korea's leaders need to be sent a strong message from the international community" and abide by the U.N. resolution, Shiozaki said. The resolution, issued in response to the nuclear test, demands that Pyongyang abandon its atomic weapons program.
The 24 luxury items accounted for 16 percent of the 6.88 billion yen worth of goods Japan exported to North Korea in 2005, according to Shiozaki.
Government officials said the list is based in part on information gleaned from books written by Kenji Fujimoto, who worked as Kim's personal chef of Japanese cuisine from August 1987 to April 2001. Fujimoto was a close observer of the dictator's private life.
The sushi chef went to North Korea for the first time in 1982 on business and later became Kim's favorite private cook and even part of his small handful of close aides.
On one of his frequent trips to Tokyo to buy ingredients, Fujimoto decided to jump ship and not return to Pyongyang.
In his book, Fujimoto said Kim keeps control over his underlings in part by plying them with gifts that are unimaginable luxuries for ordinary poverty-stricken North Koreans. Kim's underlings are also kept under tight surveillance and face the threat of death for any betrayal, the chef wrote.
Kim keeps his immediate subordinates under control "between heaven and hell, (using) carrot and stick," wrote Fujimoto in his third book published July, titled "Kaku to Onna wo Aishita Shogun-sama" ("Dear Leader Who Loved Nuclear Arms and Women").
Fujimoto claims in the book that the financial sanctions instituted by the United States in September 2005 should have been a severe, if not fatal, blow to Kim's dictatorship because they apparently squeezed Kim's private coffers, used to buy luxury gifts from overseas.
Only with goods and money, and threats and punishment, has Kim maintained his hold over his subordinates, Fujimoto writes.
Tokyo's new export ban is expected to make it even more difficult for Kim to obtain luxury goods from overseas. Government officials said they have already coordinated with the U.S. and European Union in choosing goods to be included in their export bans.
According to Fujimoto, Kim would routinely dole out expensive gifts to underlings at dinner parties, where he listened to their reports and forced them to drink strong liquor.

I am: Martin Rowe, 55 of Stotfold.
What is the event?: A charity cycle ride
When and where?: September 5, Valencia, Spain.
What the event entails: Setting off from Valencia Airport on a very rural route and cycling roughly 700 miles to Seville. We cycle until we get roughly where we think we should be that day and then try to find a room for the evening.
Who is taking part?: I will be travelling with my old friend and cycling partner Steve Theaker. Once we leave the Airport we are on our own without any support vehicles or hotels booked in advance.
Charity: Garden House Hospice in Letchworth
Why have you chosen this charity? My Dad, Johnny Rowe died a number of years ago after a long battle with cancer. He passed away in the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth.

Financial target: £1,000
How can people support you? To make a donation please visit www.justgiving.com/martinrowe278 and keep up to dater with the ride on our blog at www.around spainwithoutafridgeagain.blogspot.com

recruiting roundup
Tuesday Recruitin' Makes Tentative Plans
A Very Short Week
Many of us are returning to work after a long weekend, but one Michigan target will have an even shorter week than most. Three-star NJ OL Will Fries is taking a two-day unofficial visit to Michigan today and tomorrow, per Scout's Brian Dohn ($). Dohn considers this a huge visit for Fries; if all goes well, he could see Fries' recruitment wrapping up soon after the trip. The main competition for Michigan appears to be Penn State and Rutgers, with Northwestern and Duke also factors—Fries has maintained, and his top schools show, that academics are very important in his recruitment. That should help Michigan's chances as Fries gets his first look at campus this week.
Michigan may also get one last shot at impressing four-star Indiana prospects DE Auston Robertson and WR Austin Mack this weekend. Robertson has Michigan in his top three along with Michigan State (the heavy favorite) and Notre Dame, and he told TMI's Josh Newkirk about his tentative visit plans ($):
"Going to Michigan changed the whole game," he said. "It was better than what I expected. They just popped in my top-three right then and there. I got a pretty good relationship with some of the coaches down there. I might go down there on May 30th with Austin Mack. But I'm not sure yet. But I am trying to get to all three of the colleges before I commit. I'm also trying to bring my mom there so she can potentially see where I am going to play at the next level.
If Robertson makes the trip—and, critically, if his mother accompanies him—then Michigan has an outside shot at surpassing their in-state rivals. There's less optimism with regards to Mack, who's long been considered an Ohio State lock; he's even rumored to be a silent Buckeye commit. Both prospects will announce their decision on June 7th, so it's now or never for the Wolverines to make a move.
One confirmed visitor for this weekend is top-50 2017 CO QB Dylan McCaffrey, who'll fly in on Friday and stay until Sunday, per 247's Steve Lorenz ($). McCaffrey is a Stanford legacy—both his father, former Denver Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey, and his brother Christian chose the Cardinal—but thus far they haven't joined Michigan, Penn State, Colorado, UCLA, and Duke in offering him.

Thursday Recruitin' Discusses Moving Plans
The Latest On Rashan Gary
Michigan is widely believed to be one of the favorites—if not the favorite—to land the nation's top overall prospect, Paramus Catholic (NJ) DT Rashan Gary. Gary was expected to make a return trip to Ann Arbor this month, and while Sam Webb reports that trip has been delayed, Michigan is still making progress in Gary's recruitment—especially by connecting with his mom ($):
"I talked to Coach Harbaugh and he is a very personable entertaining guy," Gary's mother Jennifer Coney said. "We talked for a long while and it wasn't even about football. It wasn't about recruiting even though it was a recruiting call. We didn't need to talk much football because I can find out most of that stuff when I get over there. He talked about wanting to build the man, not just the football player. He talked about academics. He talked about his family. He has six kids and he talked about trying to figure out how he was going to get his family moved over (to Ann Arbor). He doesn't whether they were going to fly or drive. That's why he has work all of those hours… to take care of six kids! (Laughter).
"He is an entertaining guy."
Gary and his mother are eyeing a late June visit, after Rashan gets out of school. He has three unofficial visits lined up for mid-June: Ole Miss, Auburn, and Alabama. Michigan looks to be in very good shape, but they'll have to fend off a long list of power programs.

Monday Recruitin' Feels The Snow Between Its Toes
Note: You have until 5 pm to preorder HTTV. Do it now if you'd like this year's shirt and/or a signed copy.
Interest Level: Cold
Michigan offered four-star 2016 NC OT Landon Dickerson last week, per The Wolverine's Brandon Brown ($). As is the norm with a touted recruit hailing from south of the Mason-Dixon line, Michigan will not only have to overcome offers from several powerhouses, but also concerns about the weath-- wait, what?
Right now Dickerson is the No. 16 guard in the country and just a three-star prospect, but with an offer list that includes schools like Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, South Carolina, and Tennessee among others, his ranking is likely to get a boost. Still even with all of those high-profile offers, the Maize and Blue appeals to him.
"Geographically Michigan is probably a great place for me," he said with a laugh. "I'm a cold-weather kind of guy. I'm the guy that when it's 25° outside I don't have a shirt on and I'm in flip-flops. I don't think it could be any better geographically.
If you grew up in a place like Michigan, you not only know people like this exist, but that they're the exact type of person you want playing offensive line for your football team. Dickerson is a long way from making a decision, though he says Virginia Tech and Tennessee have stood out to him. If he wants to get that warm, fuzzy feeling of advanced hypothermia, however, he may seriously consider his new offer.
Dickerson isn't the only rising senior O-lineman to nab an offer of late. Three-star PA OT Johncarlo Valentin* added an offer last week, and he told TMI's Brice Marich he's already familiar with the program ($):
"They offered me after they watched me work out," Valentin told The Michigan Insider. "I was overly excited. Not really did I see it coming. I am very interested in Michigan. I like everything about them."
"I already have visited them. I was there last summer and it went wonderful. I do want to visit again, but I just don't know when yet."
Michigan joins Arizona State and Virginia Tech as significant offers on Valentin's list, and he's fielding interest from several other top programs. Valentin is high school teammates with one of M's top tight end targets, Naseir Upshur, and the two have spoken about playing together at the next level.
Michigan also offered 2017 four-star MD OT Jordan McNair, who told Marich he's "very interested" in the Wolverines ($).

Winston On Campus
2016 U of D Jesuit point guard Cassius Winston, the #23 overall prospect on the 247 Composite, is expected to be on campus today for an unofficial visit, per The Michigan Insider's* Kyle Bogenschutz ($). With two bigs already in the fold—albeit with rumblings that Austin Davis could reclassify to 2017—and Tyus Battle adding a dynamic wing to the class, getting a point guard will be the main focus going forward, and there's little question Winston is at the top of Michigan's wish list.
Winston's father told Bogenschutz that this is still a battle between the Wolverines and Michigan State. Winston will have a little more time to focus on recruiting in the near future, as a broken wrist suffered last weekend will sideline him the next 6-8 weeks.

Tuesday Recruitin' Ties For Fifth
Top Five-Ish
Top-100 IL DE Josh King named a final five last Friday, including Michigan in the group along with Michigan State, Penn State, USC, and Notre Dame. According to 247's Steve Lorenz, Michigan State is believed to lead for King, while Michigan is potentially running second. King hasn't set a timeline for his decision.
In case anyone forgot how silly recruiting can be, three-star IL DT Naquan Jones felt compelled to release a "top five" of his own, despite only narrowing his choices to six schools*:
First I would like to say thanks to everyone who has taken their time to recruit me. Top 5 NO ORDER @CarolinaXposure pic.twitter.com/QBoOVrO6zx
— Almighty Nay (@thealmightynay) May 7, 2015
While this top group also has no order, it's pretty easy to glean that Wisconsin and Penn State are running behind the other four schools. Scout's Beth Long reports Jones will make his decision on June 5th, and his top schools were chosen largely based on his relationship with their respective coaching staffs, since he's only visited Michigan State and South Carolina among his top six. Michigan should get their shot; Jones told Scout's Josh Newkirk a pre-decision visit to Ann Arbor is in the works ($).
*To be clear, I'm not making fun of Jones here, but the near-universal, bizarre obsession with naming top fives and tens and almost never any other number.

Hoosier Leader Now?
Michigan hosted a pair of four-star Indiana prospects on Monday, and it was well-known that the Wolverines were working from behind on each. Wide receiver Austin Mack, considered an Ohio State lean, forged a stronger connection with the new coaching staff, per Scout's Josh Newkirk ($):
"This visit really helped a lot," Mack said. "This is the second time I was able to get down and speak with the coaches and build that relationship. It definitely ranks them a lot higher in my eyes.
"Seeing how beneficial the education and the coaches are at Michigan. Knowing that the next few years they won't be losing like they have been. Success is going to come and it's definitely going to come from hard work. They have definitely moved up and are team to think about."
Mack told Newkirk that he has no leader heading into his June 7th decision; the general consensus, however, is that Michigan made a move but still has ground to make up on the Buckeyes.
That's also the case with defensive end Auston Robertson and Michigan State, though Michigan managed to replace another rival in his top three, per ESPN's TomVH ($):
"I don't really have a relationship like that with Ohio State anymore, so why keep them in the top three," he said. "So now it's Michigan State, Notre Dame and Michigan."
Robertson admits the Wolverines have some ground to make up on the other two schools on the list, but says he will give them a shot to do so.
Robertson wants his mother to visit each of his top three schools before he also decides on June 7th, so while Michigan still needs to make a push, they should get that opportunity.

Is This Toddler Saying 'Fire Pit' or Something NSFW?
Being a toddler is awesome because you can get away with darned near everything. As proof, look no further than this video of a cute little girl who tries to say the word "fire pit" and says something entirely naughty instead. (Possibly NSFW if you think she's saying a phrase that rhymes with "bucket.")
This little girl struggles to express her excitement over the fire pit in her backyard, but utters something that sounds like "f*ck it" over and over. Despite repeated attempts by her parents to correct her pronunciation, she never wavers from profanity.
According to her parents, the toddler is simply saying the phrase incorrectly and isn't repeating something she's heard at home. "Just for the record, she has never heard the words 'f*ck it' come out of our mouths, or the mouths of our friends and family. (At least that we know of.) This is pure coincidence," they wrote in the video's YouTube description.
Oh, sure, it's all fun and games now. But just wait until she tells one of her teachers at daycare to "fire pit."
