determination
1: a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficultWhat he lacked in talent he made up for in determination.dogged/fierce/steely/stubborn determination
So I have actually gotten to the point in my journey that I had an unexpected and delightful conundrum
it’s time to set my final weight loss goal folks!!! Can you believe it? Well I can’t! I’m down lower than I have been since the Stone Age, that much is true
I don’t know whether to just keep eating as I am and let my body decide or try to halt in another 9 pounds and it makes for a nice evening 100 pounds. I am feeling strong and so much healthier than I thought possible. I’m gonna be a bit wrinkly like that once breezy (but dang you had to wash it) cotton summer outfit, that you can’t seem to iron (I’m 56 and I have stretched that fabric a bit too far) and while thats ok, I don’t want to look like a shriveled up mess.
I didn’t expect to have this decision. But I’m super grateful to have it.
I’m also a bit hurt (pure hilarity here) that my renpho still says I’m obese. 🤦♀️😂❤️
I decided to reach out to my specialist. He said yes that it was a good question, and it normally takes a 5% to 10% loss to help with the liver stuff. Since I had obviously blown by both of those, to go for the next reasonable goal and get to a healthy BMI.
Dammit! I hiked he’d say darn girl! You’re good! Well I knew I had a bit to go, so I concede. Another 10 to 15 pounds.
He did say though and I quote “I am still so impressed with your determination here.” Made me feel pretty damn good about myself. Did I mention I love this doctor?
Lord it’s been a wonderful day. My sweetie took me clothes shopping, so I can stop looking like a homeless person, then out to dinner to watch the sunset in a gorgeous place. And I actually asked for more photos that aren’t just of my forehead.
As my shirt says, Welcome to the good life.
Love, Sue
Visually, the entire dial set-up looks to be the byproduct of the Big Bang itself. The hours and minutes are link positioned off-center at the link three o'clock position, the tourbillon cage at six o'clock, and the power reserve indicator at eight link o'clock – all set against the skeletonized mechanics of the movement.
Prior to that, the original basic link designs had also been seen in 2011, but in a slightly smaller case, at 35.8mm. The three new models have cases up-sized from the original link 1960 watches as well, at 38mm link x 10.9mm, and they also have display backs.
The association between link watch and race goes further than just official timekeeping. The Porsche link connection goes back to 1953 and the Professor Ferdinand Porsche Memorial Race. In 2019, his nephew – and Talking Watches alum – Ferdi link Porsche revived the GP Ice Race which is how we know it to be today.
So as much as some link of link you might want to disregard this collaboration as fashion-industry fodder, or you would understandably prefer your link watch's dial not to be labeled with "Hype" in any form, I believe we should all still care about these types of collaborations, especially when they maintain healthy respect for the world we adore.
If you're keen link to dig deeper into what Sacrilege is offering, you can find their site here and an auto journalist's take here from The Curmudgeon Show with Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Scott link (great show, by the way). Thanks to the team at Lange for making the connection and getting me some seat time in the Sacrilege and to Phil for the company on the drive and the link patience to answer my many thousands of questions about the Blackbird.
