Here at my house we don't really do too much for July 4th. My dad's side of the family will come over and we'll cook out and sometimes we'll go watch the fireworks celebration in town. It's supposed to rain today, so more than likely that's been canceled, but that's okay.
If you're rained out like my family and I will be check out "A Capital Fourth" from 7-8:30 central time on PBS! Christopher Martin, current Chicago Symphony Orchestra Principal Trumpet, will be performing an arrangement of music from the movie "Lincoln", on which he performed the main trumpet solo that musically represents Abraham Lincoln.
Chris' dad, Freddy Martin, is the founding member of Spirit of Atlanta Drum & Bugle Corps that I'm an alumni of! I'm going to share my all about marching in 2001, but that's a whole other story.
Hey guys! I'm going to start doing a monthly update to talk about any new supplements and lifestyle changes.
I'm continuing to take my vitex and chromium pocilinate like I posted about a few months ago. I had gotten out of the habit of taking it, so I've been doing that again. I'm taking one vitex pill and two chromium pills before I eat lunch.
I was going to take pictures of my acanthosis nigricans to show over time if it was getting better not, but it's gone! I am so happy! In combination with the supplements I've been taking I've cut down on the sweet tea and lowered my carb intake.
Off and on for the past year or so I've been using these sugar free drink mixes from Walmart. My sister started using them first, but she got me started on them. Some of them are pretty good! My favorites are the cherry and cherry limeade. They taste a lot better if you can let them sit overnight or so. The other night I was looking at the ingredient label and saw that they contain aspartame, so I don't think that I'll be drinking them anymore. The next time I'm at Whole Foods I'll have to check what they have there. Any suggestions?
I LOVE this song! I've liked it since the first time that I heard it, but I liked it even more after I looked up the lyrics! The chorus is what speaks to me the most. We do need to stick together and it is hard when you're living on the bottom. This is going on my workout playlist!
We come into this world unknown
But know that we are not alone
They try and knock us down
But change is coming, it's our time now
Hey... everybody loses it,
Everybody wants to throw it all away sometimes
And hey... yeah I know what you're going through
Don't let it get the best of you, you'll make it out alive
Ohh
People like us we've gotta stick together
Keep your head up, nothing lasts forever
Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
We are all misfits living in a world on fire
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us
Hey, this is not a funeral
It's a revolution, after all your tears have turned to rage
Just wait, everything will be okay
Even when you're feeling like it's going down in flames
Ohh
People like us we've gotta stick together
Keep your head up nothing lasts forever
Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
We are all misfits living in a world on fire
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
You've just gotta turn it up loud when the flames get higher
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us
They can't do nothing to you, they can't do nothing to me
This is the life that we choose, this is the life that we bleed
So throw your fists in the air, come out, come out if you dare
Tonight we're gonna change forever
Everybody loses it, everybody wants to throw it all away sometimes
Ohh
People like us we've gotta stick together
Keep your head up nothing lasts forever
Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
We are all misfits living in a world on fire
Oh woah oh oh woah oh
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us
