Two months ago, I was not a healthy eater. I was advised by my doctor to loose weight to enable the beginning of IVF treatments. I was referred to a nutrition cousellor, a nutritionist was advised to not go over 1000 calories per day.

Few months ago, I was feeling the effects of the extra weight I have put on over the last two years. I was always catching my breath every time I take on heavier chores around the house or if go up set of stairs fast, I am also walking slower than how I used to. I was not as a big eater as other plus sized people I know but I skip meals and enjoy sweets and snacks. I was also not a big soda and juice drinker but I don’t drink enough water either and I drink at least three cups of coffee or three shots of espresso over ice every morning.

That has since been changed, with the help of drinking Wu-Yi Tea, a very watched diet, I was able to loose 20 of the 40 lbs I was required to loose. Little did I know that wuyi tea was considered a weight loss tea and has a lot of antooxidating properties that can lead to a reduced risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. While I think this is a potential solution to my weight issues, I still want to treat my weight problem the natural way with behavioral modification, diet and exercise. But a little bit help of diet tea will not be bad.

When my husband used to work in Quincy, he’d drive me all the way to my work in Boston. We would take the HOV Lane (high-occupancy vehicle lane/ also car pool late in other states or countries) to keep away from the crazy bumper to bumper traffic. Even with that takes a while because there could be hold ups in the HOV as well. HOV lanes is created by lining up k-rail or temporary concrete barrier along the high way to create an exclusive lane for car pool vehicles. Jun doesn’t like being this close to barrier rail since it makes him feeling a little bit out of space to move around.

There was a highway construction near our city and I think it was Jensen who installed all the K-rails out there. It keeps both the cnstruction workers safe from traffic vehicles and so does the commuters by keeping them away from the construction site.

Buying a house to call you own is hard work. Making it a  home is even harder. Expenses doesn’t stop when you buy a lot or acquire a house, there is still INSIDE the house to think about – furnitures and appliances, things to make a house livable. I remember when I moved out from my mother’s apartment, all I had was my clothes and a bed mattress. All things I acquired when I moved out on my own was really hard work and the fruit of savings (and some credit card swiping).

I wish I had known about rent to own companies. They “sell” rent to own appliances to make is easier for your pocket and get appliances and furnitures your house. For those wondering what is rent to own, it is an industry since the 1960s that boomed because of the need of people to get household products without getting indebted to banks and credit card companies. It is really simple, you rent until you have paid enough to own it! Go to www.rtohq.com for more details.

I remember as a kid, I wasn’t as artistically talented like my brother. He’s the one who joins drawing and art contests. I was the orator, story teller, debater. Not the the artist. That was until 3rd grade I had a school project that requires me to draw human figures, I wailed and cried because my brother won’t help me. That was one of the best thing he did for me, I learned on my own. Before you know it, I was already getting high scores in art classes even getting my work posted in the school art gallery.

My skills then tthough were nothing compared to Aggie’s kids. At very early age they are artistically inclined. Matthew had been painting even before I first met him at four. Martha has been showing interest in the arts and drawing especially now that she has turned two. I bet these kids would be good artists. Aggie had been nurturing their skills without being pushy. I need to let her know about Artshow for kids, they have online galleries where you can share your kids works even sell them at their auction site. If you have a little artist as well, you can encourange them to joinKids Art Contests - Show Your Art Now!
