Bratmobile is an American punk band. Growing from the rich NW and DC underground and influenced by indie pop in the US as well as Britpop, girl groups, grunge, and punk rock, Bratmobile was a first-generation Riot Grrrl band. Formed when University of Oregon students Allison Wolfe and Molly Neuman collaborated on a noted feminist fanzine, Girl Germs, Bratmobile played its first show as a two-woman act at Olympia’s North Shore Surf Club on Valentine’s Day, 1991 with Molly and Allison sharing duties on guitar, drums, and vocals. During spring break 1991, Allison and Molly went to DC to follow Beat Happening and Nation Of Ulysses on tour and try to work on a new form of Bratmobile. Beat Happening’s Calvin Johnson had previously introduced Molly to nascent guitarist Erin Smith from Bethesda, MD during the Christmas holiday in December, 1990 at a Nation Of Ulysses show in Washington, DC. Smith was the author of the much-revered TV pop culture fanzine Teenage Gang Debs when Allison and Molly asked her to jam with them. It clicked, and in July 1991 the trio played their first show as a 3-piece with Molly Neuman on drums, Erin Smith on guitar, and Allison Wolfe on vocals. They were just in time to play at the historic International Pop Underground Convention in Olympia Washington, becoming the only band to appear twice.

From their first shows, Bratmobile was considered an exciting and important addition to the fertile early 90’s NW scene. From 1991-1994 Bratmobile released a classic album,”Pottymouth,” and an EP, “The Real Janelle,” on Kill Rock Stars Records, as well as a Peel Session recording before the intense media scrutiny and inner pressures of the Riot Grrrl movement hastened the band’s breakup in 1994.

For five years, the Brats honed their skills in other bands and developed their lives with other pursuits. Neuman moved to the SF Bay Area and began working at East Bay punk record label Lookout! Records, for which she now acts as general manager and co-owns. She also played in The PeeChees and The Frumpies and continued to perfect her stylish, powerful drumming; Allison Wolfe moved to DC, and she and MD-based Erin Smith started a new band together called Cold Cold Hearts. Allison’s feminism and activism found many significant outlets and Erin’s guitar playing grew more accomplished and technical while always staying true to her minimalist pop leanings. Then in 1999, the three women decided to reunite for a low-key show in Oakland’s Stork Club. The chemistry was right, and the band was relaunched.

In 2000, Bratmobile released their second full length studio album, “Ladies, Women and Girls,” to an audience who had never forgotten them and never found a replacement for their poppy, sassy, smart, bratty, sexy punk. The album delighted critics and earned Bratmobile new fans as they toured with Sleater – Kinney, The Donnas, The Locust, and more. “Ladies, Women and Girls” was released on Neuman’s Lookout! Records and produced by Tim Green of Nation of Ulysses and The Fucking Champs. Jon Nikki (Prima Donnas, Gene Defcon, Sarah Dougher) added guitar, bass and keyboard parts to flesh out the famously minimal Brat sound.

On May 7, 2002, Bratmobile releases their third album, “Girls Get Busy.” The album is an expression of a band with a storied history and a boundless future. On “Girls Get Busy,” Bratmobile’s best lady friend, Audrey Marrs, (Mocket, Gene Defcon) adds keyboards that help give the album its distinctive new sound. Roadie extraordinaire Marty Violence (Young Pioneers) also contributed bass, a Bratmobile first. Allison’s lyrics are timely and critical of the current political climate with songs such as the ironic “Shop For America” and “United We Don’t,” plus “Shut Your Face,” which touches on the Chandra Levy disappearance. Molly steps up to the mic to sing lead on the heartfelt and lovelorn “Pagan Baby,” and Erin really breaks out and goes to the next level with her incredible guitar style throughout. The record sounds like just what it is; “Girls Get Busy” is the product of an important and influential American punk band in its 11th year. It is accomplished, compelling, sexy, and important.

A sedentary lifestyle is one of the major causes of occurrence of belly fat. If you don’t indulge in any physical activity, and spend most of the time sitting, watching T.V., reading, etc., it is known as a sedentary lifestyle. Lack of regular exercise, or not exercising at all can lead to fat storage around the belly area. In other words, being a couch potato will make you fat.
A nice carbonated beverage can hit the spot when you’re thirsty. But you’ll have to skip the bubbles while you’re on a middle-shrinking mission—nutritionist Palin ski says the gas will make your belly poof up right away. Drink plain old tap water to stay hydrated—and make sure you get at least eight glasses a day. The special ingredients aren’t just there for flavor, either: The ginger helps calm and soothe your GI tract.
Loads of research demonstrates people who log everything they eat — especially those who log while they're eating — are more likely to lose weight and keep it off for the long-haul. Start tracking on an app like MyFitnessPal when the pounds start sneaking up on you. It'll help you stay accountable for what you've eaten. Plus, you can easily identify some other areas of your daily eats that could use a little improvement when it's written out in front of you.
A deload is needed more when volume is higher and you’re pushing for progress every workout. When fat loss is the goal, volume should purposely be reduced a little and you’re shooting more for maintenance (maybe with the occassional progress) rather than constant progress. Now if you’re going to be in a deficit for a while, sure… I can see taking a diet break when needed and possibly using that time to deload as well if it felt needed.
3. Doing Bicycles not only help to melt belly fat it also works on the muscles of your upper body. For this you have to lie on your back and raise your legs at 90 degree, then bend your legs to 90 degree and hold it. Keep your hands under your head and slowly raise your head and shoulder off the ground. Now with a fast movement bring your right elbow to your left knee and extend your right leg in the front. You have to switch sides fast to create the cycling effect. Use your core muscles to keep your head and shoulder above the ground throughout the exercise. Do 20 repetitions and add 10 as you become stronger.
This article has been revealed to me, just at the right time i.e, before I wasted my time on senseless crap. P. S a suggestion would be to add a paragraph where you highlight the importance of eating healthy. For example a bowl of salad has the same amount of calories as a cheeseburger, yet you get to eat more of the salad, fullfill your dietary requirements to stay healthy. Its just the fact that for a moment I thought ‘Hey i can eat all the shit i want (in controlled amounts) yet get lean’. But doing so might lead to heart problem, diabetes and stuff like that. So a strategically placed paragraph about healthy eating might just add more usefulness to this awesome article. Beside, why do we want to lose fat. To ultimately stay healthy right?? Eitherway, its still a very, very useful article for newbies like myself. Thanks for that 🙂
Protein is a fundamental part of a healthy and balanced diet, but when you are in the daily grind, you may not get the proper amounts, especially if your goal is weight loss. Protein not only helps keep you satisfied for longer, it also contains amino acids like leucine, which has been shown in research to aid in maintaining muscle during weight loss.
The scale is not necessarily your friend. You may want to lose fat – but the scale measures muscles, bone and internal organs as well. Gaining muscle is a good thing. Thus weight or BMI are imperfect ways to measure your progress. This is especially true if you’re just coming off a long period of semi-starvation (calorie counting), as your body may want to restore lost muscles etc. Starting weight training and gaining muscle can also hide your fat loss.
“A lot of what we know in this area comes from NASA, of the bed-rest studies,” he says. “Within a couple of days of non-activity, the metabolism becomes inflexible. You start moving again, and it does start to change.” Your metabolism may not ever go back to “normal” (more on this below), but the evidence indicates that it can indeed pick up again, in large part through moving your body every day.

You already know to get your dressing on the side because restaurants tend to drown salads with too much. (Learn more ways a salad can make you fat.) But instead of pouring it on or even dipping the leaves in, do the “fork dip.” Stick the tongs of an empty fork into the dish of dressing before skewering any salad. You’ll be surprised by how much flavor you’ll get, but with way fewer calories. Next, check out some more weird ways to lose weight that sound odd, but totally work.

Water is a necessity for survival and this is a necessity for so many reasons. Consuming sufficient amount of water on regular basis is mandatory to keep the body moving. Water plays a key role in strengthening immune system, digestive system and also keeps the body hydrated. As you would be doing some resistance training and cardio activities, your body will dehydrate much quickly than it was dehydrating in your previous days. So make to drink at least 8–10 glass es of water to keep the things going in a smooth way.
Meal prepping takes a few hours a week, but it's worth it: By getting your meals ready ahead of time, you won't be so tempted to order your go-to Chinese takeout when you're tired and hungry after work. "When you plan an entire week of dinner in advance, you're way less likely to go off course and indulge in foods that aren't good for you," says Pamela Salzman, a certified holistic health expert and cooking instructor. And since you planned things out, you'll actually get the protein, fruit, and veggies your body needs — and you'll lose weight in the process.
My repeated dieting eventually caught up with me, as this research would predict. When I was in graduate school and under a lot of stress, I started binge eating. I would finish a carton of ice cream or a box of saltines with butter, usually at 3 a.m. The urge to keep eating was intense, even after I had made myself sick. Fortunately, when the stress eased, I was able to stop. At the time, I felt terrible about being out of control, but now I know that binge eating is a common mammalian response to starvation.
Spending more time in the kitchen can help you shed belly fat, as long as you’re cooking with the right foods, according to one 2017 study. After analyzing data from more than 11,000 men and women, UK researchers found that people who ate more than five homemade meals per week were 28 percent less likely to have a high body mass index, and 24 percent less likely to carry too much body fat than those whole only downed three meals at home.
Whether you choose to work with a personal trainer twice a week, opt for an online trainer, or choose to do some form of small group training, it'll cost you. While not everyone needs workout advice in the form of a trainer, a lot of folks do. And according to Angie's List, the national average for a one-hour personal training session is $80 to $125.

29. Don’t Make Excuses, Just Start Working Out – If you’re tired, don’t think too much about it. Put your headphones on and just start moving. Do a dynamic warm-up to get yourself in the mindset, and start with easier exercise sets. You can keep your workout low-key if you’re tired or stressed, and you can go hard when you’re full of energy. You never regret a workout, but you might regret skipping one.
Love your site and all your knowledge leads me to believe you may be able to help. I am STUCK. Can’t lose a pound. I am 5’6″, 126#, and have calculated my maintenance calories at 1850/day. I am eating this (or less) and working out as follows. Three times per week I do 55 minutes of cardio on the Arc Trainer (1050 calories, 4.2miles, according to the meter) followed by one hour of weights. Two times per week I take a Zumba or Pole class followed by a stretching and flexibilty class. By my calculation I should be burning a TON of fat but my scale hasn’t moved in months. Please help!

Potassium, magnesium, and calcium can help to serve as a counter-balance for sodium. Foods that are rich in potassium include leafy greens, most "orange" foods (oranges, sweet potatoes, carrots, melon) bananas, tomatoes, and cruciferous veggies — especially cauliflower. Low-fat dairy, plus nuts, and seeds can also help give you a bloat-busting boost. They've also been linked to a whole host of additional health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, controlling blood sugar, and reducing risk of chronic disease overall.
A different way of viewing weight loss identifies the problem as not one of consuming too many calories, but rather the way the body accumulates fat after consuming carbohydrates—in particular the role of the hormone insulin. When you eat a meal, carbohydrates from the food enter your bloodstream as glucose. In order to keep your blood sugar levels in check, your body always burns off this glucose before it burns off fat from a meal.
Most people who want to lose weight have more than 12 pounds to lose. That’s why even the best weight loss drug in the world can only be an optional complement to other treatment. That’s why this piece of advice is number 18 out of 18. It may be a helpful addition for some people, but the advice higher on the list is what can make the biggest difference, by far.
Try not to eat when you feel upset or bored — find something else to do instead (a walk around the block or a trip to the gym are good alternatives). Many people find it's helpful to keep a diary of what they eat and when and what they are feeling. When you have to write it down, you might think twice before eating cookies. Reviewing the diary later can also help them identify the emotions they have when they overeat.
If you can't or don't have time to exercise, being diligent about your diet can help you burn fat without intense workouts. Your body stores extra calories as fat, so controlling your calorie intake is the key to reducing fat. Keep in mind you still need to consume enough calories and nutrients to provide your body with the fuel it needs. Avoid sugary beverages and junk foods, control your portion sizes, and maintain a balanced diet. It might take some diligence, but keeping a close eye on what you eat can put you on the path toward better health.
Losing water weight shouldn't be a major part of your weight loss regime, and will only get you temporary results, in addition to being only temporary weight loss you can experience serious health issues. The first would be dehydration, which, if it becomes severe can have long lasting effects. Your goals should be toward losing pounds from fat loss, this type of weight loss will be more permanent and will make you healthier along the way. A mildly dehydrated person will have lost 5 to 6 percent of their body weight, moderately dehydrated will jump to 7 to 10 percent, a severely dehydrated person will have lost more than 10 percent of their body weight and is in serious danger of health complications. .

53. Prep Meals For The Week On Sundays – Cooking at home can mean increased food quality and greater awareness of what ingredients you’re actually eating. This is helpful in controlling how much protein, fat, and calories you’re eating on a daily basis. People who prepare food at home also tend to eat more fruits and vegetables. Start preparing healthy meals over the weekend so you can don’t have to think about what to eat for lunch or dinner during the week.
“A lot of what we know in this area comes from NASA, of the bed-rest studies,” he says. “Within a couple of days of non-activity, the metabolism becomes inflexible. You start moving again, and it does start to change.” Your metabolism may not ever go back to “normal” (more on this below), but the evidence indicates that it can indeed pick up again, in large part through moving your body every day.
This could be because the body increases insulin secretion in anticipation that sugar will appear in the blood. When this doesn’t happen, blood sugar drops and hunger increases. Whether this chain of events regularly takes place is somewhat unclear. Something odd happened when I tested Pepsi Max though, and there are well-designed studies showing increased insulin when using artificial sweeteners.

If your goal is to get leaner and not lose muscle in the process, then I’d recommend sticking to slow consistent fat loss and not try to rush it (that will just impact strength even more, which increases the potential for muscle loss). Keep doing what you’re doing, and take 1-2 week diet breaks when needed (go back up to maintenance or possibly a very slight surplus).
Work indulgence foods into your calorie plan. If you do want to have something that is a little higher in calories, then make sure that you work it into your overall calorie goal for the day. For example, if you are following an 1,800 calorie plan, and you want to have a brownie that is 300 calories, then you would only have 1,500 calories left for the day.

Using a layered approach is another great way to build a good veggie habit. For example, start with a food you already enjoy — say, pasta — and layer some veggies into your bowl. This can help you explore a new food with one you already love eating, and from there, you can try new ways to savor it. Take spinach, for instance. After trying it with pasta, you may want fold it into an omelet or another favorite food, or explore it on its own with different cooking techniques (sautéed or steamed) or different flavor additions (garlic or golden raisins). The possibilities are limitless!
I mean, people lose fat on low carb diets, low fat diets, paleo diets, vegan diets, raw food diets, diets that involve eating “clean” instead of “dirty” or not eating after a certain time at night, and countless other types of diets that involve every gimmick, fad and method you can think of except the specific task of creating a caloric deficit. But yet, they have all caused people to successfully lose fat.

Fancy coffee drinks from trendy coffee joints often pack several hundred calories, thanks to whole milk, whipped cream, sugar, and sugary syrups. A cup of regular coffee with skim milk has just a small fraction of those calories. And when brewed with good beans, it tastes just as great. You can also try nonfat powdered milk in coffee. You’ll get the nutritional benefits of skim milk, which is high in calcium and low in calories. And, because the water has been removed, powdered milk doesn’t dilute the coffee the way skim milk does.
“Oolong, or ‘black dragon,’ is a kind of Chinese tea that’s packed with catechins, nutrients that help promote weight loss by boosting your body’s ability to metabolize fat. A study in the Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine found that participants who regularly sipped oolong tea lost a pound a week, without doing anything else to change their diet or exercise habits.” — Kelly Choi, author of  The 7-Day Flat-Belly Tea Cleanse

“A study published in Nutrition Journal found that participants who ate foods high in monounsaturated fats for lunch (in this case, half an avocado) reported a 40 percent decreased desire to eat for hours afterward. Monounsaturated fats from sources like olive oil, nuts and avocados can reduce cholesterol, promote weight loss, even boost memory.” — David Zinczenko, author of the  Zero Belly Cookbook

This drug is an injected variant of a satiety hormone called GLP-1. It slows down how quickly the stomach empties and tells the brain that you don’t need to eat yet – a great idea for losing weight. As a bonus this drug works fine while one is on the keto diet and it works even better with intermittent fasting – for a rapid weight loss with no hunger.

But again, there are very few solid studies that deem apple cider vinegar as a magical weight loss elixir. The drink can, however, be a decent addition to your routine if you’re already eating healthy and exercising frequently. Some research shows that people who sip on ACV may experience smaller blood sugar spikes after they eat, which can help you manage cravings. If you can stand the taste and want to try it, just be sure to dilute a tablespoon or two in 8 ounces of water, since ACV has a high acidity that can burn your throat and damage your teeth.
Not far into the book they want you to listen to a infomercial. I learned that my doctor is a lying stinking jerk. Apparently he, and ALL doctors, know the secret of losing weight fast and easy but they, and their diet professional, do not want to share it or they will lose money when we get thin and healthy. I also learned that to lose weight I do not have to eat less or exercise more. It’s just bad science that taught us that rubbish…and again All doctors know this. The majority of overweight people are not overweight because of eating in excess or not exercising enough, it’s because they have chronic cellular inflammation.
A person who might considered chubby or something like that could probably safely lose 1-2 pounds per week as long as they are dedicated. Someone who is considered obese could safe lose about 3-5 pounds a week with dedication. If you are asking this question because you have 'lovehandles' (muffintops I believe are the newest nicknames), I say do not be ashamed of them, just wear clothes that actually fit you. you will feel better about yourself and you will be more comfortable.
Exercise every day. A week is a short time, so commit to strenuous exercise to reach your goal. An hour of intense cardio will help you burn calories and sweat out some of your water. Just be sure to drink water to replace what comes out in the sweat or your body will be dehydrated. You'll also want to work on your ab muscles, which will help you stand taller and look slimmer. Do exercises that focus on each area of the abs -- upper, lower and obliques.

Workout for 60-70 minutes a day in total and stay hydrated. During your exercise, include a 5 minute warm-up to slowly rise your heart rate, like a slow jog with a slowly accelerating pace. After, do 60 minutes of exercise to keep the heart rate up, you could do 2-3 different exercises. Finally do a 5-minute cool down to lower your heart rate like a jog turned into a walk.
“Use a VersaClimber or take a VersaClimber class. These machines are still not that common, but in my opinion they are far more effective for weight loss than other forms of cardio. They require you to use a large portion of your muscles and it’s functionally better for you than other forms of cardio like spinning. Everyone is talking about Rise Nation in LA at the moment as they are the first dedicated VersaClimbing studio. There’s no harder cardio workout I have tried. To lose fat you have to put in the work. — Dan Roberts, celebrity trainer and creator of Methodology X
“Getting an extra half hour or 45 minutes of sleep can really make a difference,” McCall says. A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that missing your bedtime too often affects how your body responds to insulin, a hormone that regulates your appetite and metabolism. The cells of folks who slept only 4.5 hours a night were 30 percent less sensitive to insulin—comparable to the cells of someone who is obese or diabetic. Plus, too many late nights activates a sabotaging cycle: “Studies have shown that poor sleep can result into overeating, and overeating can result in poor sleep,” White says. What’s more, logging five hours or less is directly related to gaining abdominal fat, according to a study in SLEEPThe last thing you need is lower willpower or unnecessary fat gain, so shoot for 7 to 8 hours a night. Not only will this help stabilize your hormones to avoid the pounds piling on, but you’ll have more energy to slay your workouts, too. You know to skip caffeine after 2 or 3 p.m., but also try not to exercise too late because it raises your body temperature which can sometimes affect your sleep, White adds.
Bird-dog is an excellent exercise to stabilize the lower back (spine) during extremity movement. It works on abs, back, hips and butt. Begin with a hands and knees position (downward dog) with your fingers pointing forward. Make sure that your hands are under your shoulders and knees are under your hips. Slowly stretch your opposite leg and arm almost parallel to the floor. Hold your balance for a few seconds without arching or sagging your back. Return to the initial position slowly and repeat the same alternating sides.
Eating this way allows people to consistently eat the same amount of calories without counting them, feeling deprived or eliminating any foods, Wengel said. She estimated a woman would consume 1,200-1,800 calories a day on this plan, while a man would ingest 1,600-2,200 calories a day, producing a calorie deficit for most people. The average weight loss is about 1 to 1.8 pounds a week until it naturally stops, she said.
Refined white breads are simple carbohydrates that your body processes as sugar, and can really hinder your weight-loss efforts. Whole grain bread, on the other hand, is chock-full of slimming fiber and can help you feel fuller, longer. Just be sure to read your labels. “If the ingredients at the top of the ingredient list read sugar, sucrose, fructose, corn syrup, white or wheat flour, these foods contain mostly simple carbs and should be limited,” Rebecca Lewis, RD, told Eat This, Not That! in our article for 20 Secrets for Eating Bread Without Getting Fat. “A food is only considered a whole grain if the first ingredient on the packaging says, ‘whole grain’ or ‘whole wheat.’”
“I would focus on proteins from lean and minimally processed sources, two weekly servings of fish, carbohydrates from starchy vegetables, fruits, and legumes, and fats from plant-based sources,” says Feller. You’ll also want to stay seriously hydrated, as “water may help fill you up,” says Gans. Studies show that drinking just two glasses of water before a meal can help you consume less calories, and drinking throughout the day can keep you from misinterpreting thirst cues as hunger pangs.
Answer . \nI don't know your situation, but I do know - and I'm pretty sure you know, that starving yourself is not the best way to lose weight. You need to do some exercise every day, drink heaps of water, and eat healthy food. There are a multitude of good diets out there you can try without resorting to starving yourself. Starving will leave you weak, dehydrated, and maybe even make your stomach lining get eaten away in the process. Don't do it!. Answer . In two months, you would be dead.
Men tend to have more lean muscle tissue, which burns more calories than body fat, even during rest. And when men and women cut the same number of calories, men usually do lose more weight -- but it’s short-term. “Over the long-term, the playing field is more equal,” says dietician David Grotto, RDN, self-proclaimed “guyatician” and author of The Best Things You Can Eat. “It’s not a race to see who can lose weight the fastest. The important thing is that you’re both going in the same direction.”
Now we go into diet myths, and start off with myths about exercise. Wait, what? I thought we were talking about diet, meaning food here. Also, why does the author keep talking about exercise when the Amazon description said lose weight without working out. Well, this book is just filled with a whole bunch of broken promises and sales pitches. I'm not impressed. With that said though, I do appreciate this chapter on myths. The heading may be misleading, but the myths are all real myths and worth a review.
I preach the same stuff on nutrition and weight training. Thanks for keeping it real. I am currently dieting at 2000 calories per day. Full body three times a week is slamming me hard. I do about 12 exercises per workout. What would be the best split to start with. I am still getting stronger every workout like crazy. I am not a beginner. My sleep is starting to suffer. I feel over trained. My workouts typically take about 1.5 hours per workout three times a week.

You don’t have to be the next Usain Bolt in the making to enjoy some serious belly-slimming results from hitting the track from time to time. Even a moderate-rate jog a few times a week can blast through that belly fat; in fact, a study conducted at Duke University Medical Center found that, over the course of an eight-month study, overweight adult study subjects who jogged 12 miles a week lost the most belly fat and burned 67 percent more calories than participants who did an equivalent amount of resistance exercise, or a combination of cardio and resistance work.
“There are many foods that aid weight loss, but one that I often recommend to my clients and eat myself is grapefruit. Researchers at Scripps Clinic in San Diego found that when obese people ate half a grapefruit before each meal, they dropped an average of 3.5 pounds over 12 weeks. Apparently, the tangy fruit can lower insulin, a fat-storage hormone, and that can lead to weight loss. Plus, since it’s at least 90% water, it can fill you up so you eat less. However, if you are on certain medications you should not have grapefruit or grapefruit juice, so check the label on all your prescriptions, or ask your pharmacist or doctor. — Patricia Bannan, MS, RDN, author of  Eat Right When Time is Tight.
While it is possible to lose 10 pounds in a week, it’s very unlikely—and most nutritionists wouldn’t recommend it. “I generally don't counsel that type of extreme weight loss,” says registered dietitian Maya Feller. “Losing more than a pound a day would be very challenging. Even when I’ve worked with [obese] patients, the most weight I've seen lost in a week in a real world setting—where the person has other obligations and isn’t spending the day in the gym—is 5 pounds.”
You might feel silly, but it works. When Alan R. Hirsch, M.D., neurological director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, tried this with 3,000 volunteers, he found that the more frequently people sniffed, the less hungry they were and the more weight they lost—an average of 30 pounds each. One theory is that sniffing the food tricks the brain into thinking you’re actually eating it.
One easy trick if you're a pasta fan is to swap out white pasta for the wonderfully named courgetti (spaghetti made from spiralizing courgette). You’ll hardly notice the difference when you’re eating it, but you’ll be fuller for longer despite consuming fewer calories. When you consume fewer calories, your body can go to your fat reserves for energy, rather than just burning off the food you’ve eaten.
Studies reveal that foods made from refined white flour are the significant causes of visceral fat. Added sugar has a high content of fructose. Sweetened drinks such as fruit juices, sodas, and other soft drinks can increase the amount of belly fat. You should also avoid desserts, candy, and pastries because they contain a lot of sugar. In case you crave for sweets and other sugary food, replace them with more nutritious food like nuts, yogurt or fruits.
At the table, sip water frequently. Intersperse your eating with stories for your dining partner of the amusing things that happened during your day. Your brain lags your stomach by about 20 minutes when it comes to satiety (fullness) signals. If you eat slowly enough, your brain will catch up to tell you that you are no longer in need of food. Check out this other trick that helps you eat less.

Walking Lunges are very high intensity exercises that help in strengthening thighs and hips. Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Now step forward with your right foot the land on your left knee and then on forefoot. Make sure that you keep your knees at 90 degrees approximately. Stand on forward leg with the help of rear leg. Alter the leg and repeat it again. This exercise can be done by holding a pair of dumbbells in both your hands.

Snacking can be a gray area for weight loss. Really think about whether a snack is necessary before eating it. A low-calorie snack can be a good option before or after a work out or if you're feeling very hungry and there's more than two hours until your next meal.[11] To keep your metabolism moving and keep yourself full, you should be eating every three to four hours. That might mean multiple small meals or three meals with snacks in between.
Sure, you can lose weight quickly. There are plenty of fad diets that work to shed pounds rapidly -- while leaving you feeling hungry and deprived. But what good is losing weight only to regain it? To keep pounds off permanently, it's best to lose weight slowly. And many experts say you can do that without going on a "diet." Instead, the key is making simple tweaks to your lifestyle.
One quick unrelated question – both of my AC joints are garbage (probably too many years of benching “bodybuilder” style). I have had some luck now sticking with dumbbell presses and staying away from the barbell – but overhead presses still kill me no matter what (dumbbell, barbell, Arnolds, etc.). Any thoughts on an alternate? I know I have read on here that you are no stranger to shoulder pain yourself…….
With an important event coming up, you may want to get rid of your belly fat in one week. While it's impossible to lose a lot of fat in just one week, you can lose water weight, which will reduce bloating and the appearance of fat in your belly. Long-term fat loss requires a commitment, but if you need a short-term solution, be strict in your diet and exercise to reach your goals.
It is possible to do more in less time — at least when it comes to your workouts. By incorporating interval training — that means bursts of high-intensity moves — you’ll give your metabolism a huge boost, says Glenn Gaesser, Ph.D., director of the Kinesiology Program at the University of Virginia and author of The Spark. If you usually jog at a consistent pace, try adding a 30-second to one-minute sprint every five minutes, or, if you’re on a treadmill, change up the incline for one-minute intervals.

I need to drop a lot of weight and after reading your article felt that I could ditch the stupid crap I have on my bookshelf. Unfortunately, I have a tremendous burden of laziness these days and was wondering if you have any witty, blunt or military-like motivation you can share with me. I need to move my fat a–, but have lost all desire to take this seriously.

A calorie isn’t always a calorie. Eating 100 calories of high fructose corn syrup, for example, can have a different effect on your body than eating 100 calories of broccoli. The trick for sustained weight loss is to ditch the foods that are packed with calories but don’t make you feel full (like candy) and replace them with foods that fill you up without being loaded with calories (like vegetables).
To lose belly fat in 2 weeks, remember that you can't target specific parts of your body when losing weight, so you'll need to lose fat in general if you want to see a reduction in belly fat. For 2 weeks, focus on eating mostly healthy foods like lean protein and fruits and vegetables. In addition to eating healthy, do high-intensity cardio exercises for 30-45 minutes every day for 2 weeks. You should also do strength-training exercises, like lifting weights, every other day.
It's important to have realistic expectations for weight loss with a reduced-calorie diet over the long term. Studies suggest that people can lose about 9 to 26 lbs. (4 to 12 kg) after six months of a typical reduced-calorie diet. Afterward, people usually gain back some of that weight, so they end up with a total of 9 to 22 lbs. (4 to 10 kg) of weight loss after one year, and 6 to 9 lbs. (3 to 4 kg) of weight loss after two years, according to the 2013 guidelines. [2016 Best Bathroom Scales]

95. Embrace Kaizen – Kaizen is a japanese concept that means constant improvement. Every day, strive to be better than you were yesterday. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about getting stronger, running faster, jumping higher, and moving more efficiently. This concept can also be applied to your diet. You don’t have to overhaul your lifestyle, but instead make small, maintainable changes over time.
Fermented foods: These enhance the function of good bacteria while inhibiting the growth of bad bacteria. Sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, yogurt, tempeh, and miso all contain good amounts of probiotics, which help to increase good bacteria. Researchers have studied kimchi widely, and study results suggest that it has anti-obesity effects. Similarly, studies have shown that kefir may help to promote weight loss in overweight women.

WWW Wednesday 3/12

Happy Wednesday!  Play along with MizB and her WWW Wednesdays at shouldbereading and answer What did you finish, What are you currently reading and What are you reading next.

asylumdead of witnerI finished one book this week – woop!  Look at me go.  Asylum (Asylum, Bk 1) by Madeleine Roux.  Wow, that was creepy and fun with a little paranormal twist along with old creepy photos throughout.  I really enjoyed it and it made me nervous.

I am currently reading The Dead of Winter (Cora Oglesby, Bk 1) by Lee Collins.  It is kind of a paranormal Deadwood.  I am really enjoying it but am feeling the call of other books I need to read before I mail them away.  I hope to finish this one before I do that.

between shades of grayNext up, well, I promised Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys and I was just going to mail it away but I read the first couple of pages.  Holy cow!  Well written and sad about the Lithuanian’s sent to Siberia by the Soviets.  I also want to read Up From the Grave (Night Huntress # 7) by Jeaniene Frost, the final installment of the Cat & Bones series and I am trying to find the time to pick up Between Two Thorns (The Split Worlds, Bk 1) by Emma Newman.  So, I don’t know what will happen.  But that is pretty common every week!  🙂

What are you guys reading?

About ocdreader

I love to read! I always have a book or four going, I have more books in my to-be-read pile than I can read in a year and yet I continue to haunt the bookstores. I have a problem, but I somehow soldier on. I enjoy talking books, so pass on your recommendations and thoughts - I would love to hear them.

  1. I finished a book on the Suffragettes on Monday. It was short but jolly interesting and I was staggered to learn that so many of them were sexually molested and beaten up by the police on their marches.

    I’m now reading a book about life for women between the wars. The death of so many soldiers in WWI skewed the population, leading to a lot of anguish during the 1920s. Next time someone reminisces about the past, I’ll laugh in their face.

    • ocdreader says:

      Hahaha! I love it.
      That fiction book I read really showed the skewed population between the wars, the men were all messed up, scarred mentally and physically and the women had to work but were still not really accepted doing it. Crazy times! Those books sound fascinating

  2. ChrissiReads says:

    Looks like you’ve got some great reading coming up! I love the look of Asylum!

    • ocdreader says:

      I didn’t know what to expect and was quite pleased with it. She kept the plot moving and sped it up towards the end and the creepy and twisty factor was in full force!
      Lots of fun 🙂

  3. diannegray says:

    I picked up Jitterbug Perfume this week (an oldie but a goodie) 😉

  4. Shannon says:

    I ‘m reading Sugar Daddy by Lisa Kleypas and am loving it. I do want to try the Cat and Bones series.

    • ocdreader says:

      I want to read more of the Kleypas books, I have read the first three Rainshadow road books which were super cute and fun. Enjoy!
      The Cat and Bones series is super fun, though the 6th book was – ok, I hear this one wraps things up nicely and makes up for book 6 🙂

  5. cleemckenzie says:

    I’ve been wading through the biography of John Adams. It was fascinating in parts, but I have to admit it boring bits that required stamina. And after the death of Adams (sorry for the spoiler 🙂 the book continued on for more than fifty pages.

Every day at midday a cannon explodes in Nice.  It always takes visitors by surprise especially those who are close by on the castle hill or parts of the old town. You can easily spot the locals, however, as they don’t bat an eyelid.

As for the reason for this you may be forgiven for imagining it has military origins, celebrating a victory or warning of attack but no, it’s much more quirky that that.  Back in 1861 a British gentleman named Sir Thomas Coventry-More settled in the old town of Nice.  He had a wife who enjoyed her morning strolls along the Promenade des Anglais and had a tendency to get back late to prepare lunch.  Sir Thomas was having none of this tardiness so he found a rather ingenious way to summon her back – a cannon blast.

Having had his plan approved by the Mayor he provided the cannon at his own expense and installed it on the lower terrace of the château.  Every day just before midday Sir Thomas would raise a colourful globe on a mast from his home which would be the sign for a municipal employee to set off the cannon.  I assume his wandering wife then rushed back home to get lunch ready pretty damn quick!

Nice canon

When the Coventry-Mores left Nice the locals missed the daily detonation and on 19 November 1876 a law “lou canoun de Miejour” was passed making the blast official thereby keeping up this peculiarly niçois tradition to this day.

Nowadays it’s no longer a cannon but surprisingly it’s not automated either.  Every day a large firework is manually set off in the same place as the original cannon and has been lit by the same man, Philippe Arnello, since 1992. During this time he has only missed it once due to a traffic jam but he has been known to set it off an hour early on April Fool’s Day!  *** Update 2019: since the dreadful terrorist attack in 2016 the cannon no longer sounds on the 14th July out of respect for the victims who lost their lives.  And it appears Mr Arnello is retiring after 27 years of service so the post of cannon blaster has been advertised in the local press.  I can’t find any information as to whether the position has been filled but I will keep you posted!

Have you heard the Nice cannon, or do  you know of any similar quirky traditions?

So, step aside while I put some of that to use. Back to the virginity question at hand. I think this question explains the whole query pretty well: But what if one day I have sex with a girlfriend, and she says that she was happy she lost her virginity to me, but I still feel like a virgin afterwards?

Additional common slang terms used are giving lip, lip service , or tipping the velvet ; this last is an expression that novelist Sarah Waters argues that she "plucked from the relative obscurity of Victorian porn". A person who performs cunnilingus may be referred to as a cunnilinguist. During the activity, the receiving female's partner may use fingers to open the labia majora genital lips to enable the tongue to better stimulate the clitoris, or the female may separate the labia for her partner.

To go someplace you have never gone before, you must do the things that you have never done before.

If you want something new in your life, or you want to make changes, you are going to HAVE to DO new actions! You can sit around and wish things were different, but isn’t that what you have been doing so far? And are you any closer to where you want to be?

I’ve been talking about (let’s be real here- complaining about is a much more accurate description!) getting my financial house “in order” to my spouse for a LONG TIME. This morning, while it was still dark outside, this thought came to me: “GET your finances where you want them to be.” They’re not going to do it on their own… money/finances are a TOOL. They cannot DO anything FOR you. You have to use them and make them do the work you want them to do.

OR you can passively watch and see if they do any magic tricks. (Good luck on that one.)

After this kick in the butt (for my mind), I am applying these same principles to other areas of my life where I “wish” I was better at something or I “wish” I had more time for something. I can wish all day that I was better at soccer. Will that make me better at soccer? NOPE! Action is required. Where attention goes, energy flows. Start putting your attention and focus on what you want it to be on… INTENTIONALLY… and begin taking actions around your thoughts… and turn your dreams into your reality.

Your present moment is a direct projection of your past. Where you are in this current moment is a result of yesterday. If you don’t like where you are today and you want tomorrow to be different, decide what it is you want your life to look like and take steps in that direction. They may be tiny steps, and that is totally ok. In fact, that is more sustainable than humongous leaps and bounds.

Small steps. If you’re like me, this may be hard for you to swallow. I want to make all the changes NOW. If this is you, take 5 deep breaths. Focus on your breath. Out loud, say three things that you are grateful for; keep going if you want!

Be present, AND keep your goals in sight. Be so GRATEFUL for everything you have, AND keep doing the work to bring so much joy, love and light into your life and the lives of your loved ones. Be content with your beautiful life, AND stay focused on your growth.

11/8 Eve of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica

S_Lateran Basilica

St. John Lateran Basilica

This is the oldest, and ranks first among the four great “patriarchal” basilicas of Rome. The site was, in ancient times, occupied by the palace of the family of the Laterani. A member of this family, P. Sextius Lateranus, was the first plebian to attain the rank of consul. In the time of Nero, another member of the family, Plautius Lateranus, at the time consul designatus was accused of conspiracy against the emperor, and his goods were confiscated. Juvenal mentions the palace, and speaks of it as being of some magnificence, “regiæ ædes Lateranorum”. Some few remains of the original buildings may still be traced in the city walls outside the Gate of St. John, and a large hall decorated with paintings was uncovered in the eighteenth century within the basilica itself, behind the Lancellotti Chapel. A few traces of older buildings also came to light during the excavations made in 1880, when the work of extending the apse was in progress, but nothing was then discovered of real value or importance. The palace came eventually into the hands of Constantine, the first Christian emperor, through his wife Fausta, and it is from her that it derived the name by which it was then sometimes called, “Domus Faustæ”. Constantine must have given it to the Church in the time of Miltiades, not later than about 311, for we find a council against the Donatists meeting within its walls as early as 313. From that time onwards it was always the centre of Christian life within the city; the residence of the popes and the cathedral of Rome. The latter distinction it still holds, though it has long lost the former. Hence the proud title which may be read upon its walls, that it is “Omnium urbis et orbis ecclesiarum mater, et caput”.

NaNoWriMo and PiBoIdMo updates

Friday is almost over as I sit to write this post.  I didn’t update yesterday in a post, but you can find my puny word count for my NaNo novel in the link at the top of the page.

I have added all of 18 words to my continuing NaNoWriMo novel, (I know, hardly worth mentioning) and that is just because as I’m doing a read-through (another rule broken!) I am writing in a word here and there. Because I haven’t started a new project for this year’s NaNo, reading the whole rough draft through seems necessary. This is also giving me a better feel for my story, enabling me to see where changes have to be made when I begin editing, and setting the stage for me to begin writing this time until I finish the story. That’s my excuse, anyway!

For PiBoIdMo I wrote a few character names down for a possible story, but I’m counting them all as one idea since I will try to select one of them for a character when I start the story I have had in mind from before PiBoIdMo started this month. I’m not happy with any of them, but can’t seem to pull anything better out of my hat tonight. With yesterday’s idea and one today my total thus far is up to 14 for day eight.

Just a side note: Soon my daughter will be taking her little dog from our home after eight years of his living with us. She is renting a house where pets are allowed, so Sammy will be moving in with his “mama”, and we will be dog-less. Isn’t he cute?

DSCF0684And this is my blog post for NaBloPoMo!

Thanks for reading, and … Creative Musings! 🙂

Real Housewives of Atlanta – Claudia and Kordell Exchange Numbers

Real Housewives of Atlanta – Claudia and Kordell Exchange Numbers by RamonaCoaster

Gregg picks Nene up from the airport.  Nene wants a serious kiss hello.  Gregg asks about the trip to Puerto Rico and Nene thinks being around these girls brings the most negative energy.  This is Nene saying this?  She was one of those bringing the negative on.  Nene gives Gregg the Cliffs notes version that she blanked out after she saw Claudia drinking out of Kenya’s champagne glass and Naynay came out who asked Claudia if she has a brain, shit hit the fan and she said Claudia slept around so much she needed a new clit because it had blown out. Nene whines that she apologized to Claudia 50 gazillion times for that. Gregg asks if she is slow. Then Nene talks about Cynthia jumping in. Nene says she stripped to pay for her education.  Isn’t that what they all say?  She did admit she liked it so that’s cool.

Cynthia tells her sister and Peter that Nene’s best friends are now Porsha and Phaedra.  Cynthia’s bff are now Kenya and Claudia.  Kandi is Switzerland.  She tells them what happened on the trip and how Nene told Claudia her clit is blown off and that Claudia handed Nene her behind.  Cynthia’s sister asks about the friend contract with Nene and threatens to find it.  She finds it easily in a file and Cynthia grabs it, crumples it up and burns it.  Cynthia has consistently shown how Nene’s friendship has affected her and this scene shows how much Nene used to matter in Cynthia’s life.  That friendship contract was not a joke to Cynthia, it was serious. Cynthia must feel 190 lbs lighter.  Peter likes Claudia because she stands up to bullies and Peter hates Nene now.

Kandi and Todd go to see Dr. Jackie from another Bravo show, Married to Medicine, to get a consultation about fertility.  Dr. Jackie wants a specimen from Todd and gives him several tubes to take with him to the “Masturbatorium” and asked him to keep it down.  Dr. Jackie shows him some lubricant, hand sanitizer, hand lotion, whatever he needs.  I don’t see any porn though.  Dr. Jackie advises them to get plenty nutrition, keep down the alcohol and watch their weight if they plan to have a baby.

Peter is opening a sports bar called Sports One like Bar One in Charlotte, NC.  Cynthia is planning what to wear, getting options, for the opening night party.  She calls Twirl to invite her on a road trip to the opening and Twirl is already complaining about driving, accommodations, wardrobe, hair, and makeup.  She’s joking.

Phaedra is in her office getting a phone call from Derek about being accused of being a weave burglar.  He says his business is suffering.  He is filing a counterclaim. Phaedra’s mother came in to talk about Apollo’s date to go to prison and preaches how things will get better.

real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-7-gallery-episode-712-10 real-housewives-of-atlanta-season-7-gallery-episode-712-12

Apollo is taking his sons on a frozen yogurt outing.  Ayden tells Apollo that he would miss him if went away for a long time and would come visit him and stay with him.  Dylan is acting cute and it’s good to see that he is babbling at his age, testing out sounds.  Apollo’s an idiot if he thought he would never get caught and go to jail.  I wonder what these kids will think about this episode when they are older.

Kenya and Claudia meet at Cynthia’s house to start off their roadtrip.  Cynthia has a closet that is the size of a spare bedroom or a good-size apartment in NYC.

Kandi talks to Kaela and Riley and asks them to help her have a baby by clearing out the junk food and leaving the healthy food and making ovulation charts. Riley thinks Kandi is too old to have a baby.  She is 38 yr old.  Kandi wants boys because she’s sick of whiny girls. She didn’t say that but these girls are always whining when they talk.  Todd’s tests came back and he is the sperminator.  He is packed with sperm.  They talk about baby boy names.  Kandi wants to know why Kaela and Riley are not bonding.  Riley is standoffish but will be friendly if Kaela gives her a ride when she starts driving.  Riley doesn’t look 11 yrs old, she looks much older and Kaela doesn’t look 18, but looks younger.  They should be able to meet in the middle.  I wonder if Mama Joyce is whispering in Riley’s ear about Kaela.

Cynthia calls Phaedra from the road to ask her if she is going to the opening of SportsOne.  Phaedra pretends to have a dentist appointment which Kenya calls bs on.  Kenya presses the hangup button on Cynthia’s phone when Phaedra asks who is attending the opening.  Cynthia is flabbergasted but what can you expect of Kenya.

The Tucker-Burruss family go indoor karting and as they walk out Kandi presents Todd with his gift of a new Corvette.  Apparently Todd had already damaged his sports car within a short time of getting it and Kandi tweeted and instagrammed it.  Everyone assumes Mama Joyce has ammo to smoke him with and more of Kandi’s money that could have been spent on her is now going to Kandi’s careless husband.  She got a new house and messed up her old house so she shouldn’t complain.

Kenya is singing her gone with the wind fabulous song out of the roof top of their Yukon truck and  Cynthia and Claudia have my sympathies for putting up with that.  They finally arrive at their hotel and it doesn’t look too ghetto.  Actually the hotel suite looks nice.  They all hope Claudia meets a nice man at the sports bar.  Peter calls Cynthia bitching how they are three hours late.

Claudia and Kenya walks in and sees Kordell Stewart Porsha’s ex who is business partners with Peter.  Peter came out pretty good with meeting Porsha on the Real Housewives. Kenya loves to rub Porsha’s nose in it so she tries to talk Kordell into asking Claudia out on a date.  Rub salt in that wound.  Claudia is classy so she says she wouldn’t date a coworker’s ex-husband.  With the black dress she had on showing off a lot of cleavage she sure was looking for a man.  Kenya in the past had intimated that Porsha said she was used as a beard by Kordell so why throw your friend at him?  Kordell says he wouldn’t say no if Claudia asked him out.  When everyone leaves Claudia and Kordell alone and they exchange phone numbers and take a quick selfie. She warns him about giving her booty calls after 11PM. Claudia has known him for ten years, if they hadn’t gone out together back then, they are not getting together. Once they break apart, Kenya can’t help but be the trouble maker and toasts to the next Mrs. Kordell Stewart.  We’ll see Porsha’s reaction next week.

      I’m trying to convince everyone here it’s not worth driving to the city to then turna around and COME BACK IN LIKE 2 HOURS

      why pay the super expensive bridge tolls 2x for like 2 hrs of work.

      I’m ready to shovel.

      I hope you have drinks and smokes at the ready ……🚬🚬🍺🍺

      And for Kim from BH: 🍕🍕🍕 😉

      • not THAT Jill says:

        I have smokes and drinks 🍻🚬🍻🚬🍻🚬 and Kevin will run out later for my pizza🍕🍕It’s snowing here already that’s supposed to be “moderate” but it’s coming down like crazy!!
        Convince them all to stay home-it’s not going to be fun trying to get back home later!! Be careful!!

      • Powell says:

        No if you can stay home I say stay. Save your cash. Be safe. You can shovel for me. 🙂

    • Powell says:

      Yes you all be safe too. Rain was turning into snow when I was half way to work. We don’t have any accumulation yet. Now they’re pushing that off until 4pm. 😖😖

  2. Veena (NMD) says:

    Stay safe east coasters.

    • Thanks Veena —-

      Oh ps: I zoomed in on the FRIEND contract- and the last sentence before their signatures said that the contract would only be broken “IF SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”

      Hey Jill, I’m getting a friend contract drafted up for us — just waiting on a notary. 📁📜📝
      I think VV may have dropped me since I’m liking Kyle now 😁😁

      I wonder if I would want:

      Potential earthquakes, varying levels of heat, and possible droughts VS. crazy wack 4 seasons with JANKY SNOW ❄❄❄⛄⛄

      Can’t decide yet…….
      Either way, I like being coastal 🌊🌊🌎

      • not THAT Jill says:

        VV will not drop you for liking Kyle-she used to like her too and I think she’s liking her again!
        I will sign the contract but I need my lawyer to look it over first-I’m afraid you are going to hide “candle buying” in there and I will be obligated to spend a million dollars on a stupid candle!! After my lawyer (I think I will call Brandi and find out who she uses) looks it over I may need to add a few things of my own to the contract!!

        • Powell says:

          Hahaha. Make sure your lawyer isn’t Phadera. I forget which epi recently in her TH she said she’s never lost a case. Um is she forgetting about She By Sheree?

        • VV™ says:

          I still think Kyle is a backstabber. Brandi is unintentionally making her a victim this season. I can side with Kyle when it comes to Brandi. I don’t trust Kyle, she has a proven record of back stabbing (S2, more noticeable S2 reunion, S3 and S4).

          • not THAT Jill says:

            don’t know who Kyle stabbed in the back but I’m going to guess that you think she stabbed Lisa-I hope you are not still believing Brandi and the whole meeting thing before the season 2 reunion-by now you must know Brandi lies about everything.

            • VV™ says:

              Yes, I still believe there was a synchronized gang up on Lisa by S2 reunion. One has only to watch the reunion to notice.
              During S2 Tea Part, Taylor clearly says to Paul they were all going to confront Lisa.
              I still remember Lisa asking Kyle to back her up against BS on the show and Kyle sheepishly not saying or doing anything.

              • not THAT Jill says:

                I wouldn’t have backed up Lisa either-Lisa was so busy being besties with Brandi she didn’t have any sort of relationship with Kyle-plus she believed every lie Brandi told her about Kyle-why would Kyle back up a friend who chose to be Brandi’s bestie?

                • VV™ says:

                  You got your seasons crossed. S2? Lisa didn’t even talk to Brandi until Hawaii episode which was #17 of 20 and episode #20 was Pandora’s wedding and Brandi wasn’t even invited to the wedding.

                  • not THAT Jill says:

                    Lisa didn’t ask Kyle to “back her up” until after season 2-at the start of season 3 Lisa and Brandi were besties.

      • Powell says:

        Chismosa what the heck has she been waiting on to burn that dang contract. LOL. Prez signature huh? 🙂
        I’d rather have the snow. No earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes. Although we can experience all if that here and have. 😖

      • VV™ says:

        I won’t drop you for liking Kyle. Silly 😘

  3. Powell says:

    Good morning everyone. Bottom Lip Monday. 😝
    I missed most of ATL. Totally forgot about it. Kordell invested in the bar w/Peter!?! Hopefully Kordell is a better bizman. Why did Kenya hang up Cynthia’s phone on Phadera? See stuff like that is why people don’t like her. Y’all think Kordell asked Claudia for her number to get under Porsha’s skin? Why is Kenya giggling saying “he’s single, she’s single”? I watched an epi of Hollywood Exes ATL last season and one of the ladies started dating a guy that she didn’t know dated a new lady introduced to her group. He knew she was acquainted w/the New lady and didn’t tell her on purpose. When she found out she broke it off w/him. Even though she didn’t know the new lady that well she didn’t feel comfortable dating someone that someone in her group/circle dated. I don’t think I could either, unless we were dating for a long time and I just became acquainted w/the New lady. I digress but I see Claudia has no problem possibly dating Kordell. Ratchet.

    • Foxymel(Mel) says:

      Hi Powelly! Kenya and Claudia rub me the wrong way. Kenya hanging the phone up on Phaedra, Kenya being a brat about needing to stay at a 5 Star hotel, and finally trying to get Claudia and Kordell to hook up just to get under Porsha’s skin. I know that’s why Kordell did it and his karma will be going into partnership with Peter. Back to Kenya– she is so miserable with her life it seems to me, and having Claudia as a sidekick is making me FF through the show. If Nene decides to quit, Cynthia better watch out because she’ll have to contend with her two new friends. Btw,that fertility doc seemed like she really wanted some screen time.

  4. So… Anyone watch Revenge last night? Kim Richard’s big move into prime time?
    Blink, and you would have missed it. She was present in two brief scenes, and spoke less than 10 words. In the second scene, Victoria Grayson threatens to spill the secrets of her “friends.” As she says (paraphrased), “and the one who abuses/uses white powder,” the camera pans to Kim.
    I don’t think this was a triumph for Kim….

    • ladebra says:

      I saw it! I watched this morning! … And I thought wow, Kim is not that great an actress. She only had one line and it sounded… Like she was reading it, not natural at all. And when they panned to her on the abuse line, I grabbed my pearls 😜😜😜

    • You can watch that second scene here- ABC is promoting it – labeled “Housewife in the Hamptons”
      … and it’s “is using a controlled white powder as a weight-loss supplement”

    • Powell says:

      I do not like Ben. He’s up to something. I’m so glad redhead has Nolan and Emily. Her Momma is crazy. That actress used to play a lawyer Diane on General Hospital. She was good on that too.
      Dang Margo had that tape of Emily and Jsck. Ems is going to have to get that. Why is Jack always late? Sighhhhh. I want him and Emily together. I guess that will happen at the end of the series.

      • Barb (Just wondering in Jersey) says:

        Powell you watch GH! Love Diane. I loved the interaction between her and Alexis. I hope Diane returns to GH soon.

        • Powell says:

          I haven’t watched in maybe 3 yrs so I have no idea what’s going on except Billy from Y & R is now Jason and of course the old Jason is now Dylan on Y & R. 🙂

  5. HuskerHuny says:

    Be safe all of you east coasters. I hate to admit this, but I always get a bit of a rush when bad weather is predicted for my area be it snow, thunderstorms, tornadoes . . . it is exciting, but oh so dangerous for those in the storm’s path. Stock your shelves, get your blankets, candles and flashlights ready (hoping you don’t lose power!) and stay safe!

    • Barb (Just wondering in Jersey) says:

      I think my cat had a bit of a rush this morning. She was acting very clingy and wouldn’t leave my side. She’s back to normal now, sleeping. 😀

  6. not THAT Jill says:

    I just listened to the first 5 minutes of Brandi’s podcast with Little women LA- in the first 5 minutes she talks about what a bitch Kyle is-she calls her a bitch at least 4 times and then says that Kyle wasn’t at Kathy Hilton’s holiday party because maybe the bitch wasn’t invited! She says that her boyfriend JR is with Kyle in Utah and she says that she didn’t go because she would beat Kyle ass-big talk from the same who cried about Kyle “scratching” her wrist the other night!!

    Ok off to read about the ATL crazies-I didn’t watch the show last night but I’m sure I will get all the info I need from RamonaCoaster’s blog!

    • Foxymel(Mel) says:

      I can’t wait to read Kit’s recap of this one. I watch Little Women, LA–I love the show.
      Brandi really needs to STFU! I can’t believe that guy JR is still dating her!

      Please stay safe in this storm.

      • not THAT Jill says:

        Thanks Mel-I plan on being safe and warm and bundled up on the couch!!!
        Poor kit-I think Brandi has 2 new podcasts!!

        • kit9 says:

          Yes, the shrew dropped two in one week. I have to finish the Porsha one before the show on Tuesday or I won’t be able to get through it because I watched the First Look and that short 10 min clip made me angrier than the whole epi. last week. And, after watching the whole hour, the last thing in the world I’ll be able to stomach is Brandi’s voice whining about how attacked she feels. Grrrrrr.

          Did u read what Brandi said on her last podcast about how SHE’S the victim? How the women abuse HER??! That’s some truly insane chit right there. Who insulted the other women from the moment she walked in the door? Brandi. Who called Kyle and the rest of them stupid over and over? Brandi. Who was calling people b*tch? Brandi.

          • TexasTart says:

            Damn Bravo for continuing to subject us to that classless low life Brandi. It was painfully clear that’s what she was last season and they brought her back anyway. Bastards.

      • adamay411 says:

        I don’t think what JR is doing is called “dating.”

    • nyc mama says:

      Ha. Does she really think anyone believes she would be allowed to mingle with potential clients. JR should be smart enough to know she is a liability. At this point he seems almost as screwed up as she is for not only dating her but for taking her back over and over again. I can’t imagine he can’t find anyone else to have sex with.

  7. Powell says:

    Oh I forgot to ask did anyone else hear Momma Joyce screaming when Todd got his car for his birthday from Kandi like I did? “NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” 😉

  8. Foxymel(Mel) says:

    Thanks for the recap, RamonaCoaster! All of you in the North East, please stay safe and warm. Sending you all warm hugs this morning.

  9. VV™ says:

    • TexasTart says:

      How funny! Miss Universe is not too above it all to pose with Giggy. Maybe Lisa helped vote her in, IDK but I thought this pageant did not put the best in the finals. Ukraine should not have been in the finals, based on her stage presence alone!!! I don’t think even past the first round! It should have been between USA and Jamaica – I have never heard an audience boo like that at a pageant – but that is what I thought about placing Jamaica 5th…whaaaat?

  10. Exit4 says:

    Light snow falling right now! They actually already closed dominics school for tomorrow. I know Joseph isn’t going to go-so it’ll be a sleep in Tuesday! He’ll be home at 1. We’re going to run a few quick errands and then come home and hunker down. The roads are fine. It’s not sticking so they’re just wet. No ice. We’re actually good until tonight. Stay safe ladies! ❄⛄

  11. shamrockblonde says:

    leaving here at one – be safe all – don’t mess around – get home –

    Stay warm and safe everyone!

    I saw this elsewhere and I hope I don’t get into trouble for posting it. As always, if you need to take it down Veena, I understand. But it’s pretty freakin hysterical!

  14. designernailsdiana says:

    Good Afternoon Friends!!
    WOW the east coast is going to get slammed with OUR snow. It belongs in Minnesota. Stop stealing our snow, we have a Winter Carnival going on here we need snow and cold!!!!
    Thanks for the blog and letting me READ about the Ho-wives.
    Warm Hugs All Around 🙂

  15. not THAT Jill says:

    The Brandi/Yolanda best friend summit maybe coming to halt!!

      • Powell says:

        Well I got pissed too. Too bad I wasn’t there.

      • Powell says:

        So Kyle grabbed her hand and something scratched her so she got pissed. I think you moms would sure want a Better explanation from your kids if they pushed a friend like Bobble pushed Kyle, especially if it wasn’t warranted.

        • Exit4 says:

          What happened to digging her nails into her arm??? Now she got scratched by something? Ugh. Get some neosporin and get over it! Lol!

          • T-Rex says:

            Uhm, because the digging nails never happened, LOL! It’s THELIARSUPREMESLUTBAGSCUMBAGLYINGLIARJEALOUSBITCHMORONSTFUBRANDI speak again, her motto “LIE FIRST, THEN WHEN CAUGHT OUTRIGHT, BACKPEDAL BACKPEDAL, BACKPEDAL”. If she hadn’t grabbed Kyle she wouldn’t even have been scratched so technically she assaulted herself!

            • PJ says:

              It did happen. There is a screen shot of it happening.

              • Kyle didn’t have a bracelet with spikes – Brandi did– I analyzed the scene like 50x – and Kyle’s nails are short – I know bc I wear mine like that & not Lee press on like Brandi.

                I tweeted Kyle as much. Not a huge kyle defender but even I was swayed.
                Trash is trash is trash.
                Trash is being generous – jmho

                • PJ says:

                  Look I’m not going to try and defend Brandi to you but there is a screen shot of Kyle’s fingernails pressing very deeply into Brandi’s skin. I don’t know how you could grab someone and press your nails into their skin like that and not scratch them. I know you don’t like Brandi but that does not mean that Kyle didn’t scratch her, short nails don’t mean Kyle didnt scratch her either. My husband has very short nails and has accidently scratched me. Of course it’s easy to say I didn’t do it when you know people will believe you just because they don’t like someone else.

          • kit9 says:

            Bingo! She just can’t keep her story straight. Also, the alleged scratching happens in the upcoming episode but Brandi originally said it happened in Part 1-she used that to justify her pushing Kyle. Also, fyi, Kyle is always posting pics of her nails. Super short. .

            • Foxymel(Mel) says:

              I didn’t catch that! You’re right, she said it happened last episode, not this upcoming one. Brandi’s lucky she only got scratched…..

    • VV™ says:

      Yolanda CANNOT AFFORD to have Brandi as an enemy. By now, Brandi knows too much about Yofo. I still think they genuinely like each other. I don’t understand the friendship. Must be a model thing. Cannot pinpoint.

      • not THAT Jill says:

        I never understood Lisa’s friendship with Brandi -I’m not sure why anyone would be friends with Brandi? What ever secrets she knows she spills-like Lisa’s fur closet-I bet she has a few more of those zingers to tweet out!

        • Exit4 says:

          Brandi would be dumb to mess with Yolanda. If she attacks her Lyme brain-Yolanda will freeze her with her Cold Dutch stare. If she says anything about her kids-Yolanda and Mohammed would bury her. If she says anything about her marriage-David foster would do something. He takes himself very seriously and I believe he might hate Brandi!

        • T-Rex says:

          Jnntj- She doesn’t have any more information on TheRoyalVPump, if she did she would have outed that months ago. No she’s been “iced” out of everything related to TheRoyalVPump and I don’t think they were as close as they portrayed a couple of seasons ago either.

      • Exit4 says:

        I think Yolanda thought she’d succeed where Lisa failed-doing a full on Eliza Doolittle on Brandi.

      • Foxymel(Mel) says:

        Yo does have the valid excuse of she can’t talk on the phone or hang out. I think it would be wise of her to just “naturally” distance herself from Brandi.

    • T-Rex says:

      Bwahahahahaha! We could take interviews from rag mags from DAY ONE of the day she showed up to filming to hear the following:
      1. They pissed me off
      2. I was really drunk at the time(in that best pink floyd voice, youngsters google)
      3. I am a grown F***ng adult I can do what I want(said to any real adult housewife telling her to calm down her behavior)
      4. You don’t know the whole story

      Yep folks those are the same items she has used during pretty much every article written that points out her upcoming despicable behaviour. BRAVO, she ain’t going to change, that HumptyDumpty Brain of hers cracked a LONG time ago and all MzAndy’s horses cannot put that shit back together again!

    • Orson says:

      If Yolo had asked Lisa V, LVP would have warned her.

  16. not THAT Jill says:

    I was having a twitter convo with someone…

    Lisa Vanderpump obviously didn’t understand the tweet b/c she sent me a DM and told I should unfollow her if I think she is so sad!!! Really Lisa??? What a ……

    • not THAT Jill says:

    • Orson says:

      Um, Jill, I love you but I can’t tell who you’re referring to as “she” in that tweet.

      • not THAT Jill says:

        Yes I understand-so all you would need to do is ask-not send me a nasty private message telling me not to follow you! That article is about Brandi-NOT about Lisa…but maybe Lisa thinks everything is about her…idk I just do not appreciate nasty private messages-she should have just tweeted me and I would have cleared it up. Whatevs!!

        • VV™ says:

          Asking to unfollow is you think she’s sad is “nasty”? Okay.
          You’re more sensitive than what I thought.

          • not THAT Jill says:

            Hey VV-seriously -she’s the sensitive one-telling me to unfollow because she thinks I said she’s sad? That’s sensitive-and thinking every tweet is about her is SAD! The whole DM thing is shady anyway but I’m sure you don’t think so.
            More sensitive than you thought? You think I’m sensitive? If that were true I would have up and left here back when you all loved Brandi and called her a breath of fresh air-sensitive and thinking Lisa rude are not the same thing.

            • Exit4 says:

              I would think Lisa would be too busy being fabulous to have the time to worry about other people’s Twitter conversations.

            • Yeah that’s odd Ashy!

              I hope maybe some others of who you were “speaking” to cleared it up for her ???
              I’m sad to hear this about my royal sovereign 👑
              Truly sad.

              VV — JILL has every right to see this as weird- you don’t see it?

            • VV™ says:

              Brandi had a few lovers here AND you can definitevely “not” count me as one. I never called Brandi a breath of fresh air. Some folks here liked her because she was calling Taylor on her bullsh*t. That, I liked about Brandi early on.

              It is no secret Lisa DMs followers all the time. She’s done it for years.

              • not THAT Jill says:

                Good for her…I think it’s sneaky and shady. And she’s rude-all she had to was ask me and she would have know who I was tweeting about but she just assumed it was HER! I wonder if you would have called me sensitive if I got the same DM from a HW you don’t love?
                Brandi had a lot more than a few lovers here and plenty are still here and fully admit to loving Brandi back when Lisa loved her.

                • VV™ says:

                  Would you have reacted the same way if it was Kyle who had misunderstood your Tweet and DMd you?

                  • not THAT Jill says:

                    Yes and I would have blasted Kyle on twitter for because I know she could take it-I didn’t blast lisa because her rabid followers would attack me for days and Lisa would probably encourage it and do nothing to end it like I have seen happen plenty of times with Lisa and twitter harpies.

                    • PJ says:

                      Oh lordy thank you. Before I closed my Twitter account I once said something about Lisa, nothing horrible because I’m not BSC but then someone tried to get me kicked off Twitter for a basically innocuous statement just because I don’t drink the pink kool aide. Talk about crazy.

                    • kit9 says:

                      Lisa does this. She’s very thin skinned. On Twitter, a fan of hers offered the slightest criticism, along with praise and Lisa jumped on him, posted snarky replies and then blocked him.

        • PJ says:

          Lol. I think your message is perfectly understandable.

  17. Hello Everyone! thanks for the blog RamonaCoaster! We got hit with the snow last night and through the night in Ohio, but our schools were not cancelled…it was a little worse further south so over 150 school closings there.
    I did subject myself to RH of ATL. Nene has a selective memory disorder and an active imagination. The story she told Greg and what I watched with my own 2 eyes was very different. I wonder if Porsha figured out Kordell was gonna be at the opening and decided she should avoid it?
    Does anyone else think Kandi’s daughter is not a very “nice girl”? Seems as though she looks down on Todd’s daughter.

    • Mrs Peabody says:

      I haven’t seen the show yet but I was thinking that earlier in the season when Todd’s daughter came to live with them. I think Kandi’s daughter is a spoiled brat , I hope she grows out of it. I do think grandma isn’t helping any.

  18. TexasTart says:

    Ramonacoaster – thanks for the recap, I wasn’t able to watch last night. Kandi doesn’t need to be having a baby, good gosh. “Kandi wants boys because she’s sick of whiny girls. She didn’t say that but these girls are always whining when they talk.” RIGHT! and “I wonder if Mama Joyce is whispering in Riley’s ear about Kaela”. I BET! I don’t first hand know about blended families, but I’m certain it’s tricky to blend, but Riley really does seem to have a lot of attitude and I thought she was rude to Kaela. And so was Mama Joyce in the past. Poor Kaela, I hope she’s thick skinned enough to deal with her new family. Did you see the tweet pic I posted last week with Kaela? She looked a lot like Sharon.

    Cordell Flintstone gives me the creeps, how unfortunate they had to include him, nice to know I can fast forward through the end of this episode! I also don’t like that Kenya would want Claudia to be with Cordell, that sounds contrived just to get at Porsha. So ridiculous. 🙄

  19. TexasTart says:

    Been having a devil of a time getting this web site to work on a phone today, but all other sites on the phone worked. This site seems to be fine on my PC. WEIRD.

    Wishing the best for all of you having to deal with the winter storm on the east coast!

    Kenya finally issues a statement regarding “Black Wives Matter”

    IMHO well written

  21. OneMoreInBoston says:

    We all know Nene’s son was arrested for coke last week right?

    Too bad – I always liked him, thought he was a gentle giant. Well, he’s big but being addicted to cocaine he’s prolly not so gentle anymore.

    • T-Rex says:

      He is a mess. He has been arrested for drugs, shoplifting, DUI, etc. He has adult arrests and charges starting since 2011, those were for Marijuana and Shoplifting.. I am pretty sure someone mentioned he had a juvenile record but those are sealed. He has also charges of non payment of child support. His other arrests involve more theft, drug and DUI charges with a number of other arrests for violating probation for those offenses. It’s not her fault though, drug addiction runs in a LOT of families, from rich to poor, it’s just sad because no matter how many rehab places she sends him, until he is ready to get clean he will unfortunately keep doing things to get himself arrested.

      • Has she sent him to rehab? I thought this one was state funded and he also had a public defender- not a private attorney.

        ITA with you, his addiction is not in any way her fault, but some commenters on other sites were critical that she wasn’t doing anything to help him.

        I haven’t been following this enough to speak intelligently about it- I was aware of his prior arrests, but unaware of any rehab attempts.

    • ladebra says:

      If he’s got a coke habit, he’s got more money than brains. I wonder how he makes all that money.
