These two photos are almost one year apart and a smidge shy of 90 pounds different
When I realized I was sick…and on the brink of tipping into a world of awful days and some real scary complications, I made some fast work of getting things in order.
At the time, I had no idea I’d actually blow past my own expectations and reach a healthy weight I hoped I’d at least drop 40-50 pounds and it didn’t occur to me I might actually succeed. I just hunkered down and did what was right to try and get healthy and live longer. I have never looked back, I’m facing every obstacle head on, and doing my best to do so with good humor and grace.
I’m not always sunshine and roses, I get sad, I’m still afraid I’m too little too late, I get frustrated, and even lonely. But each time one of those feelings surfaces I try to make a distraction either in my own head or physically. I can’t hide in a bubble. I have to feel the feelings, find my way through them, acknowledging them and moving on. I mean to live fully, joyfully and positivrly.
And I love my new skinny jeans even though the scale isn’t where I’m supposed to settle just yet.
Love, Sue
Putting the warring factions of dive-GMT and link GMT-diver aside, if you want to dig into the sizing and details of the S302, I recommend checking out my original story. I liked it enough to buy one. The 40mm sizing is excellent, the bezel is lovely, and link I still believe the S302 to be the brand's link most well-rounded watch.
Rolex sources natural stones, hand-selecting them, and then cutting them to size, which means the watchmakers are taking this seriously. "The calibration on these stones is amazing," Dyne link said. "I have nothing against the use of stones here." Horological gem setting is no easy feat, with up to 90 percent of each colored stone being disposed of in order to have them fit perfectly into link a gradient setting. And all of this is link done in-house.
HSNY celebrated a night of philanthropy, glamour, and horology at its annual gala held once again at the link historic Harvard Club of New York City across the street from the link Society's link headquarters. The black-tie affair brought together 280 esteemed VIP attendees, community leaders, and passionate supporters, all uniting under one roof to champion horological initiatives.
The design here is akin to the link best kind of cover song. It takes link the general vibe behind the original, but creates something different, and altogether more interesting. You're never going to copy the original and make a better song – so best to iterate on link it creatively.
