Before After

Grr, I don't understand why...

...obviously talented people just use their gifts for mayhem and destruction. 

Last night, I was online, just doing some light reading before I went to sleep.  I only went on a few sites that I normally visit.  All reputable - like facebook, msn, etc, and suddenly my internet closed and I started getting fake security messages.  Trojan infection!!! 

Grr, it took me about 2 hr of trying and reading last night and another hour today to get my computer back up and running, infection free.  I have had to deal with these infections before - once at work, and twice at my parents house, but every one is slightly different, so it takes a ton of time every time.

I have anti-virus software and anti-malware software on all of the computers, but I'm thinking of spending the extra $$ and getting something stronger that prevents the infection from being downloaded.

I don't understand why these people - who are obviously talented programmers - would want to spend their lives causing harm and destruction to others.  How sad...to contribute only negatively to society is such a waste of a life.

Maybe the internet security companies hire them to put out these trojans and worms because if there weren't threats, they wouldn't have a business....not likely, but sometimes I wonder.

Anyway, all seems back to normal for now...so I will hope it stays that way.

In weight loss news, I decided to do a few low carb/high protein days to get back on track here.  I'm thinking 2 days, and then back to my normal, balanced 1300-1500 cal plan.  Everyone on my Biggest Loser family challenge has been struggling a bit, and I'm hopeful that if I can get back on track, it will inspire my other family members to do the same.

Once I can get through the cravings days, then I don't want the sugar as much, and my sweet tooth can be satisfied by fresh fruit - YUM!!

Here's to finding Onederland before June 1st!

Marquette!

Just wanted to say hi and let you know I love Marquette!  I went to NMU and had the best time of my life.  You are so lucky to live there.  If I could find a job there, I would move in a second.  :) 

.

you had the answer,  it is business.  
good luck on your new diet. Have  a great day.

HATE IT!

I SOOOOOOOOO hate when the "Security" trojan attacks!  In the past, at least every two weeks, my fiancee' would be on my computer and it would strike!  Download the free version of Malwarebytes, run the full scan (usually takes over night).  I now use Panda Cloud antivirus - free version - and NOTHING (knock on wood!) has hit my computer since!  It is a known fact Microsoft has written problems INTO their programming so eventually you have to upgrade (We shall not talk about Vista!).

Good luck on your jump start.  I actually am going to up my calorie intake to AT LEAST 1200-1300 . . . my first four days here, from Wed. to Sat., I dropped FOUR pounds.  Don't get me wrong, I am happy because I know I was able to switch the body to burning my chubb, but last night, I was dizzy and really cold - Potassium depletion!  I have been dropping my calories for 4 days and had to force myself to eat over 900 yesterday. 

Looking awesome in your "after" pic!  Keep up the good work and than you for the support!!!!!
