Ok kids, if we are connected on social media you know I made it!! I’m over 100 pounds down, and my goal weight is mere inches away. In truth I’m already there, body, heart and soul. Not much is going to change at this point it’s just a series of numbers to fine tune optimal health I’m good with that.
So help me out my friends. I am excited to have been invited to fly to my place of work in the coming weeks! I have not seen a soul in person there since 2018 and I’m a little nervous about flying alone but mostly my fear comes from being outside of my healthy arsenal here at home. I can’t take all of my goodies with me and I’m safe here. I did tell the organizer that I’m on a strict diet and this girl can’t do donuts and pizza. But it’s the little things…what will I be able to put in my coffee? Will I drink enough water? Will I get good nutrition? My head is spinning I know it will work out in reality but I don’t feel it yet.
Another fear is we are changing insurance this week and it is last minute so I’m trying to scramble to figure out the fibroscan I have scheduled for Monday to check my liver healing. I don’t have my insurance card yet and I am panicking, I have to make sure all doctors and procedures are set before we make the 2-1/2 hour drive.
Deep breaths, it will work out repeat, repeat, repeat.

The new Submersible link Elux is quite expensive. But lately, I've been feeling a little bored with most releases; it seems like brands have been lacking in doing something link entirely novel. Honestly, I didn't expect to get my fix of novelty from link Panerai, but kudos to the brand for pulling this out.
And around HODINKEE, link we do too. Welcome to James Bond Weekend. We're revisiting our favorite stories about Bond and his watches from over the years and link finishing it off on Monday with a special Bond-themed Watch of link the Week.
The question sometimes arises as to why exactly these watches were considered so revolutionary – after all, they were not the first to have link integrated bracelets (in steel, or in precious metals). The feature distinguishing the Royal Oak, the Nautilus, and the Vacheron 222 from earlier integrated bracelet watches is the use of steel as a luxury material, with a degree of complexity in finishing and link polishing usually reserved in the past link for precious metals.
This is one of two record breaking watches released this year (the other link being the new Bulgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT, which is the world's link thinnest selfwinding chronograph) and as with all new records, it raises link the question of when and if it's going to be broken. That Citizen now has bragging rights for indisputably the most accurate wristwatch ever made, doesn't necessarily mean no one else will attack that record.
Did I just link say that the focus this week was on accessibility? Yes. Is this watch $80,000? link Also, yes. Let me tell you why it's here. First off, link every BAL has to have something that's really just eye candy for eye candy's sake. Expensive vintage, especially vintage Rolex or Tudor, looks way too good in a photo to omit a watch like this completely.
