The country has new leadership, renewed purpose and yes, fresh hope. I am happy, simply moved beyond words and will suffer no cynics on this most joyful day. I can only imagine the thrill of all those who chose to journey to Washington for this historic occasion. Today, as I listened to the somber, measured speech of our President and watched an exuberant crowd of millions cheer in a new dawn I thought, it's true ~ we really did do it. I have never been as proud to be an American as I was this morning.

Wasn't yesterday wonderful! Gigi, I'm afraid you're not eating enough. Seriously, when you're not eating enough, your body goes into starvation mode and starts to do everything it can to hold onto fat, and 455 calories in a day is nowhere near enough. I've been losing weight on more than triple that, and I haven't been really hungry. We won't talk about cravings.
Thanks for your choice of photos to honor the day. What words can describe seeing 2 million people of a like mind? Most my vocab just wouldn't cover it.
Yes,Virginia, there IS an America. Woohoo! He won't be perfect but what he represents, the potential contained within him, and what his election says about the potential for the spirit of our nation is AMAZINGLY inspirational.
Can't wait to see how it all goes with Obama, he sure did inherit some testing times though, good luck to him, he may need a pinch or two before this is all over.
From memory, muscle mass starts to develop before any apparent weight loss, its all about how the clothes fit at the moment.
Now when we watch those weight loss shows, people KILL themselves and end up losing only 1 lb or something.... once they are a few weeks in. The trainers tell them to just hang in there, their body is trying to adjust to the changes. Sure enough they do and they start losing real numbers every week. It has to be so hard to not give up in that little window.
