Zenergy winner + exercise thoughts

(1) I feel much better physically. I have no idea what I cradle, but I feel good me. My body is better, I feel just good move.

(2) It's not easier.Only since (almost) two weeks of consistent exercise and I am still sweating and pushed me as I was so hard on the first day. These are always slightly easier, my lines are a little deeper and I better moves.

(3) I will still not to exercise. Is it so shocking, isn't it? I will not exercise. At all. That makes me laugh, because I think my whole life I was waiting to turn into someone who wanted to. The truth of the matter is that you does not exist. I don't want. I wanted to die tonight. I wanted to yesterday or the day before. I craved runs before, maybe twice, but I think the argument with the fact that there be no tag if the clouds part and I want to exercise. So know that-I just have to do it anyway.

4 I exercise, even if the conditions not ideal.Some days I am really sore on other days I exercise until 10 pm, and occasionally I'm eating dinner or getting ready for the day to exercise. We have a large living room, but we move the couch out of the way and to push coffee table aside. I am writing this as a reminder to me: I can exercise even if conditions are perfect. You will never be. I need no more living, the right program to put a gym membership or the right shoes. I never did.

(5) I'm still fat. Guess Hey self, what? You're still fat! And you thought all you had to do was a few weeks hard exercise and you would be done? Nope. I am still the same clothing as I last month. And I agree with all this fine. At least I'm writing it as a hint, that it is okay. I am trust my process. I am trust, I do what I must do to a healthier person.

I'm okay with who I today, as long as do everything in my power, I take care of me. A healthy person today to be tomorrow. That's all I can hope that. It's okay that I still fat. This is done in two weeks or two months.

And fun stuff. I'm sure we all life and interests outside have our try healthier itself to be and I want to here what you in recently. What books you read or shows you watch or your closet organization.

Here it what I'm into lately:

Grey's Anatomy - I just finished season two and I'm shamefully addicted. It seemed just like my kind of show, and now I find late at night or early in the morning you myself. Getting my fix Meredith, Izzie and George.

Finishing up my Valentine's line early next week come to jewelry!

Genealogy: We had tested our DNA from 23andme.com (nope you pay me or questions to write) and just got the results of this week. They say things like genetic diseases you are vulnerable descent and other tidbits forever, like what color eyes have your future kids (blue for us). This results driven us ancestry.com give a try and oh my Lord, it is so much fun. I have my mom's dad's line all the way back to the massive tracks. Turns out, with the King of Sweden on a straight line from my grandfather connected I. I wanted to do since I was a kid, but never knew how to get started. I can never sleep why sleep when I can figure out that unlicensed I used a thousand years ago?

Gene research obstacles in cancer cell growth

It is well established that cancer cells feed on blood sugar, but it is not only the nutrient they require. Another important source of energy is Glutamine and new cancer research, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers ' studies and online journal nature, shows how the promotion of cancer gene, called the "Myc" directs its use.

The findings could offer a new approach towards the cancer.

The research team will explore how the Myc genes contribute to the growth of the cancer when it is actually surprising discovery: gene increases cancer cells, the use of Glutamine, Chi v. Dang, MD, PhD, Professor, Johns Hopkins, onkologian.

Experts joined the group in the effort of the protein for proteins, which corresponded to the Myc Cancer Researchers examined human. Myc genes in cells on or off, and eight of the proteins found in mitochondria, which are displayed in the cell, in response to a separate gene.

One of the proteins, which corresponded to the Myc gene glutaminase (GLS) supports cellular energy production. Cancer growth slowed significantly, when researchers removed the GLS.

On the basis of a previous investigation, Myc genes were found in the group is not influenced by GLS directly, but rather affects the Hematology Johns Hopkins, Associate Broker-"something that in turn controls GLS," according to Ping Gao, PhD, research.

That "something" turned out to be some of the microRNAs, small RNA that can bind to bits, and prevent the RNAs, which include instructions for making proteins. Two of microRNAs is called "miR23a" and "miR23b" link in the Myc GLS expression.

The researchers intend to continue their exploration of research mice to see if a GLS may interfere with the growth of cancer.

"If we know how the cancer cells from normal cells, how they can make use of energy and nutrients, we can identify new pathways for designing drugs that target the less side effects," said the Gao.

Happiness is my life

The wife of the brother of a coworker is having a good day? If so, that is good news for you. Happiness is catching, researchers have found-and their values, not just the effect of the transitional period, the laughter of the crowd, or a high spirits. A recent study shows that people who are virtually strangers in may affect other moods, so long as one year.

Nicholas Christakis, physician and social scientist, Harvard Medical School and James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego, Professor at the Department of political science, explore the spread of happiness in a social network through and learned that it passes only to the person, but also for people of up to three degrees removed--friends, that is to say.

The researchers took note of the information, known as the Framingham Heart study, and were again almost 5,000 people who had responded to the questions put to them by the subjective, their feelings of happiness, more than 20 years--a social network, whether they felt hopeful for the future, for example.

It is not surprising the people closest to each other, was the largest effect on happiness levels. But the people who were so far removed, they may have never even met, was also not detectable effects.

More happy relationships in person was likely to end the individual was, Fowler and Christakis are complied with.

In this work the takeaway? We do not fully meet the essential requirements on their own happiness in the control. It does not depend solely on their own choices, actions and experience. Emotions are, what is required by Christakis "collective existence."

Unhappiness is also "contagious," the researchers noted, but it appears there is a lot less impact on the social network members.

Simple supper: Rosemary pot roast and Hasselback potatoes

There are three reasons why I love this dinner is quick, easy and tasty. I have the pot roast in the crock pot 10 am and leave on a low boil for about eight hours. It turned out that incredibly flavorful and tender. I love Rosemary, so that helps.

Here's what I did (if you can call this a recipe also), I put a medium sized Chuck Roast in the crock pot. Generously sprinkled with sea salt, pepper and Rosemary on both sides. Drizzled with olive oil and add about 1-2 cm of water. Place and a half on low until the last hour, and then I met up to high heat. There is a small trick pot roast tender: let Cook until there are fork tender. If the meat easily not, break apart it needs more time to cook.

The Hasselback potatoes were simply too: set your oven temp. to 425 degrees. Potatoes thoroughly to wash and then cut thin slits Nov. careful not to cut in half. Place the garlic in the slots you like. I used garlic gold on top (olive oil and garlic mixture) with some sea salt. Let Bake until you soft 40-45 minutes. I had developed this bakery while I, which was a nice reward. I topped with butter after they came out of the oven.

Love thing I about these potatoes is that there no room for overeating. I have enough for us (and others for lunch today) and that's it. The problem I have with mashed potatoes is that I eat could you until I to turn into a real potato.

Add some spinach, almonds and dressing raw on your plate, and you're set!

Grapefruit juice: A photo story

I had some very ripe grapefruit sitting on the counter and I wanted something refreshing before my workout.

Perspective projection

Ever wonder if you are on your size is? What if I went through high school as the skinny cheerleader or the girl who actually had a prom date? I was a while ago said that the reason why I'm so "interesting" is my weight. I say so many people slightly interesting, because I can remember how are interesting and informed for me. I call myself... interested more than anything else.

I'm curious, I love to learn, I am passionate and I'm thrilled. Most of the time. But I wasn't sure like this in high school. I was like most girls-obsessed with boys (borderline stalker) and cry about drama with friends. I watched every episode of Dawson's Creek and loved, ride in the car (up, down Windows music) with my friends. I have all of your notes to prove. I was not I wasn't academic sports, I was not artistic, I was pretty average across the Board. I had always been a creative streak, and the desire to learn but as I grew up those wishes were somewhat burned out with the desire to fit.

But then I went to College and realized it was better to be unique and interesting, just like everyone else to be. Want to fit, one thing was slow I in high school to leave. My dreams got bigger, and began my desire to learn and try something new. I did a lot in College, I found my way in New York City (via my now-husband) and I have interesting friends. I am happy with who I am now more than any other time in my life, but I noticed that I accept not comfortable am that I am, who I am because of my weight. I don't use disrepute that I got with my weight okay.

I am who I am because I listen to my heart. I hear my instincts. Because I trust my path. It is not because I have to shop in the plus size.

My point of this post, at least one of you is that for a long time I believed this lie about me. I felt I needed to worry about being overweight us anything except my look. I thought only shallow people cared to how you looked. And then it hit me: this is not at all. I have many friends, many of which healthy and well rounded. You are more at home learning or create as just the latest reality drama.  They are curious, thoughtful and intelligent.  It is not just about caring about your appearance, it comes to your health care and there is absolutely nothing about the flat.

Came when I brought up this interview with Josh, we concluded that it who are unattractive people thick and thin, and everything in between. It has to do, where you are ready to go in life where you're willing to take, if you hear yourself when you learn to enjoy your dreams. The size of your dress or trousers, or whether to wear glasses.

Weekend success

I am still and full of energy to get things done and prepare a new week! Thank you so much once again for your comments — there are truly wonderful (intelligent, thoughtful) some reading this blog, and I am so grateful. Really appreciative.

It is Saturday morning and I planned a great post, but I have so much I want to do and want to share a little accountability.

Today I am's going after a seminar about the local bee with a friend and then go to your home. A little bit of bridal shower planning include that I got on.

But before that I want to really done a lot in the kitchen. My goal is to create an environment for weight loss success. This will organize file and include food prep. I dreams of being able to reach in the fridge and have many fixtures for a salad at my fingertips.

The current exercise will include a visit with Billy blanks and tomorrow we went to the gym for strength and the treadmill.

I would like to bake some menu planning for the week, some bread to do. I would like to plan for the week and I want to make a meal it as easy as possible for me.

I want to start planning to organize the bedroom and garden. Yes folks, this year (as of two years) I will have a successful garden. I have a garden. I say this over and over. I have no idea how garden and it is always so scary to me. I say this I live in a city, and I have no yard space for such adventures round. BUT we have small rooms that can be converted into a garden. Urban gardening in a small town. I want to for the food, but also for the exercise and feel to make it happen. Eat foods we grew, there is a kind of satisfaction in that. So planning is happening. Planning and learning.

What else? I did some freelance work to finish and some jewelry orders out. Other than that I want to catch up with my reading and to relax a little.

Here is a very good weekend! See you tomorrow...

Feel free to sharing your great weekend plans in the comments, I'd love to hear you.
