You wanted it...here it is! Hairy Crab pics!
From Shanghai, China lake region. Called hairy b/c of the hairy claws...it looks like hairy mittens!
Hubby donning on the gloves and getting ready to dig in:
Looks like getting preped for surgery:
Beginning of the disection (yellow/orange is the crab roe...so yummy! like savory runny egg yolks):
Thanks for all of your lovely comments & support! It really helps in more ways I can describe.
After about 6 months (since June) I'm really starting to notice a difference in my body (inside and out). I couldn't have done it w/out you guys! Thank you, thank you, thank you. It works if you work it! Be patient, kind and forgiving!
Business is official! Mindful Eating Lifestyles Limited is incorporated! Stay tuned for website...
Casey quote Nov 3:
Our growth as women is contingent on our ability to flow w/the dualities, the contradictions inhernet in one's lifetime, not only to flow w/them but to capitalize on them.
We are not offered a painless existence, but we are offered opportunities for gathering perspective from the painful moments. And our perspectives are cushioned by the principles of the program. The rough edges of life, the sstorms that whip our very being, are gifts in disguise. We see life anew, when the storm has subsided.
We can enjoy the calm, if that surrounds us today. We deserve the resting periods. They give us a chance to contemplate and make fully our own that which the recent storm brought so forcefully to our attention. We are powerless over the storm's onslaught. But we can gain from it and be assured that the storm gives all the meaning there is in the calm.
Affirmation: I will be glad today for the clouds or the rainbows. BOTH are meant for my good. And w/o both, neither has meaning [have to have to bad in order to appreciate the good....oh so true!!!]
Casey quote for Nov 4th:
When we embark on a new career, open an unfamiliar door, begin a loving relationship, we can seldom see nor can we even aticipate where the experience may take us. At best we can see only what this day brings. We can trust with certainty that we will be safely led through the "shadows."
To make GAINS in this life we MUST venture forth to new places, contact new people, chance new experiences. Even though we may be fearful of the new, we MUST go forward. It's comforting to remember that we never take any step alone. It is our DESTINY to experience many new beginnings. And a dimension of the growth process is to develop trust that each of these experiences will in time comfort us and offer us the knowledge our inner self awaits. Without the new beginnings we are unable to fulfill the purpose for which we've been created.
No new beginning is more than we can handle. Every new beginning is needed by our developing selves, and WE are READY for whatever comes.
Affirmation: I will look to my new beginnings gladly. They are special to the growth I am now ready for.
Namaste.

Nice quotes from Casey. I too am thinking more seriously about pursuing my long time career goals and am working toward taking the right steps to make that happen. Congrats on getting your business started. Now that we have both worked our way to running so long, don't you feel like anything is possible? I do. I never thought I could have run 15K but I did so it really makes me believe we really can do anything we set our minds to. Congrats on reaching your goals and for the goals still ahead. You look great in your dress too.
