Both side by side photos are about one year apart and just a smidge shy of 100 pounds gone, and seven months and some change free of alcohol and all refined carbohydrates (amongst other things).
I was going to wait to celebrate the actual 100 but I’m just so happy and I don’t think 2 pounds will make a big difference. 😂❤ And I’m impatient.
Funny story, I posted this in one of my support groups tonight and I was thanking each kind person individually and FB decided that since I answered so fast that I am spam. So I cannot thank anybody else. 😂
I can’t really express how I feel except to say I have found a place of joyful peace. It took me 56 years and the scare of my life to figure out how I should be living. And I’m grateful. Also, one of the members in my support group “The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober” told me they loved my transparency and openness…and I am badass. Cool. ❤️
Love, Sue
In recent link years, the watch industry has embraced link color more than ever before – from dials that run the gamut of Pantone colors to bezels set with a full rainbow of gems. At Watches link & Wonders 2021, Zenith offers its take on the trend with a twist.
Roughly a year ago, MB&F released the HM9, a horological expression meant to pay respect to the iconic designs of automobiles and aircraft from the 1940s and '50s. link Today the same watch is re-released link in 18k 5N+ red gold, link and it's aptly called the HM9 "Flow" Red Gold.
First, link we have an over-engineered, hand-crafted miniature sculpture. You can literally see the BP's pupils along with intense artistic detail on the suit, helmet, and claws. link Find me a dorm room poster that can do that, and a college student link who can afford it. The sculpture is quite dynamic, providing real three-dimensional depth while working within the confines of the dial.
Royal Oaks certainly took a dominant position on the wrists of attendees during the spring link season auctions, given the ongoing 50th-anniversary celebration for the watch. But there link were plenty of other interesting pieces to spot while we ran around Geneva attending the auctions at Phillips, Antiquorum, Christie's, and Sotheby's. I'll be coming back early next week with my fully link fleshed-out perspective and analysis on all that we saw during the four major sales, but in the meantime, I need a nap.
Whenever a Daytona shows up link at the Vintage desk, the energy around us changes. And when a really nice Daytona shows up, we all stop what we are doing immediately and turn to the watch. There are so many Rolex models that I appreciate, but is the link Daytona the King of Rolex? It's a tough question to answer, but based on how we subconsciously respond when we link have a Daytona on our desks, I'd say yes.
