5 miles a day is a great accomplishment! We'll see if I can survive. ♥♥♥ Sexy is not just being skinny...but being healthy and happy in spirit♥♥♥. I would say this is my first hard workout ever, in my entire life. I'm loving it!
It surprised me though that my asthma is behaving with my new exercise routine. I think my body is getting used to it as I embrace the workout . Afterward a simple hot bath and gentle rub down will help me sleep well like a baby.J

Communication Angst
Content by Kyle Lowe
My sister’s company specializes in customized graphics and she has experienced a multitude of ups and downs in the growth of her business. What started out as a physical, pounding the pavement and earning every opportunity, had blossomed into a highly profitable, multiple offices, mega dream. We were so proud of her. But with the growth, comes growing pains & over a family dinner she mentioned how her technology needs were multiplying along with her stress. The need for an Ethernet private line was on top of her wish list. Normally I would give her a confused look but actually had heard of this and I recommended t1internet.net which specializes in products for businesses that need dedicated point to point Ethernet connectivity between office locations. Can you say Sister of the Year? After her research, she found a product to open up the communication between her offices and making her company highly productive. Who would have thought a simple suggestion from me could actually have solved such an incredible communication issue. After all, I know nothing about running a business but I do have shining moments of clarity.

Workout.
It's another day of successful workout. I started going to gym with the motivation of my Thai friends. At first, it was hard but like the old saying says " No Guts, No Glory” so I kept going and I’m enjoying more each day.
Work out is not only for losing weight but it is also a good activity that we all need to keep our body healthy and fit. Of course, it goes with a combination of well balance diet and positive attitude. J

Girl's night out.
I had my first exciting and fun girl’s night out dinner last night. I went to a Korean buffet with the beautiful ladies I meet here in Korea. The fun part started early when we got lost driving around town to find our meeting place. We asked the locals but unfortunately they didn’t speak English. "duh" . So, we had the idea to stopped at the local police station to asked for directions.
Thanks ...God he spoke English and he was very helpful and even took us to the place. It was late and we are starving,, I guess the driving around is worth it because the restaurant food was very good. I found out that if you get too much food and you can’t eat it all you will pay extra. So, we had to sit there and eat until all the food was gone. Hahahahaha! It’s a punishment!

Homebuyer
Thanks to Jonathon Woods
Buying my home was a huge decision but I didn’t do it without help. I had a really great realtor who guided me through the whole process and even my attorney was nice about the fact that I didn’t know what I was doing. The contractor I hired to do some of the small renovations was great and even gave me a small discount (I think so I would want to use him the next time around) and all in all I think it was just a more smooth process than I thought it would be. I went to a cabletv advisor to look into satellite and the guys at the home improvement store have even been super helpful when it comes to things like paint colors and lighting for the interior. I don’t really know how anyone becomes a homeowner without tapping into a great support system – I would have been so lost without all the helpful people around me! Even my mom is great when it comes to giving me home advice!

Animal Channels
Post contributed by Josue Durham
I can't believe all the science channels that are on our Direct tv. My son loves all the animal shows that teach all about some exotic animal. He goes around telling everyone all these random facts about some bat that lives in Africa and how it decides what to eat on how it smells. My favorite was this show my husband and I watched the other night about how the mind works. It was an interactive show where you got to actually test what they were teaching you. They had these dancers on a stage and we were told to focus on there feet and count the number of times their feet stepped in the circles that were on the floor. My husband and I were determine we would be able to focus and count the correct number of times. At the end of the dance, we had counting correctly and we were patting ourselves on the back proud of how attentive we are to details. Then the host said, “you may have counted correctly, but did you notice the giant panda bear that walked across the stage?”. What! There is no way that we missed that detail! Then they played it back and plain as day a giant panda walked across the stage! We had totally missed it because we were so focused on the dancers' feet.
