“There's always going to be bad stuff out there. But here's the amazing thing -- light trumps darkness, every time. You stick a candle into the dark, but you can't stick the dark into the light.” ~Jodi Picoult

My life outside of work has been depressing. I'm trying to stay positive and keep the light near.

"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."

My feet were incredibly sore yesterday night after an ~11 hour shift at work. However, I was informed I've been doing really well :)

Weight is still coming off:) I also have a new job that I've been enjoying. Life is wonderful at the moment

"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern." -Alan Aragon

^For example in the above quote--meal timing. Not worth an ounce of concern, like Alan says, but many don't realize this and try to eat 'XXX times per day' for they believe it has some sort of metabolic advantage. Truth is, it's negligible at best and not worth concern. Eat when you wish.
