Evelyn,
Thanks for being proud of me.  It has NOT been easy, as a matter of fact, today was HORRID!!  Didnt over eat, DIDNT eat until 3:30 this afternoon.  Drank coffee and more coffee, but no food.  Gotta be better bout that when Im working.

Herbal Life is a weight loss program, the shakes are high, and the added personal protein powder is high as well.  Im not sure Im going to be able to afford it but Im going to try.  To buy a large shake mix and protein powder, its like $85.  And that is doing 2 shakes a day.  The reason they have so many flavors is b/c they have like 15 base flavors and then they give you the recipes to jazz them up and make them different.  I had a sample of the Orange Mango yesterday, it was made w/tropical fruit shake mix and a bit of orange and mago jello.  They are all sugar free (only natural sugars in there) and they are low in carbs and fat.  Very healthy!!

The teaching thing has always been a dream but by being severe asthmatic, I am not able to work every single day, but to sub means I can work as often as they need me when I am able.  I love it.  I work all ages, from Pre-K to 12th grade.  Keeps me young and I just want to be a shining positive example to the kids.  A child can never have too many positive loving people in their little lives.

Have fun at the walk, sorry I will miss it this year.  I wanna hear reports!

You are jewel! Thanks for your support.

Guuurrrrlll...you're talking to the shopping QUEEN!!!  My new favorite place is a resale store called "Poor Little Rich Girl" and it's located off of Kavanaugh in The Heights.  They carry high-end clothing that is in only excellent condition...most of the things I've bought have still had the store tags on them!! 

Let me put it to you this way...last Saturday I bought a Wilson's Leather black leather coat, royal blue raincoat from Chico's, a warm-weather jacket from some hooty-who designer, a pair of Rock & Republic jeans, a pair of David Britton jeans, a pair of Abercrombie & Fitch jeans, a Donna Karan skirt, an Ann Taylor skirt, and an Ann Taylor wrap-style cardigan...ALL FOR UNDER $200!!!  Vince was ready to choke me, but you gotta admit that you can't beat a deal like that!

Old Navy is having a great sale, and you can print store coupons online. Target has in some pretty cute things for fall, and it's located right across the street from Old Navy, out on Financial Center Parkway.

Don't even get me started...I'll talk your ear off about it tomorrow if you'll give me half the chance!

I know how you feel about the pain meds. The side effects (constipation) wasn't worth them for me. I just push my way through it if I possibly can.

You're in my thoughts and prayers. I know your faith and family will get you through all of this.

We're always here for you, too!

I agree with Susan......
 

What is the health risk of too much vitamin B₁₂?

The Institute of Medicine of the National Academies did not establish a UL for this vitamin because vitamin B₁₂ has a very low potential for toxicity. The IOM states that "no adverse effects have been associated with excess vitamin B₁₂ intake from food and supplements in healthy individuals" [7]. In fact, the IOM recommends that adults older than 50 years get most of their vitamin B₁₂ from vitamin supplements or fortified food because of the high incidence of impaired absorption in this age group of vitamin B₁₂ from foods that come from animals [7].
