Travel, EyeCamp, Life after marathon

I have been traveling and have been the busiest. NB, that's a good idea. I did donate while I was at the camp and was thinking of different ways of collecting money throughout the year. Usually, people donate some and the maternal uncle contributes the rest. Why don't we find a way, we can discuss the specifics later, so that both of us contribute atleast half? We know the money is going for a noble cause and I have all the details.

Life after marathon - am visiting relatives and friends - here the common goal for everybody is to achieve a size zero. People who I thought couldn't lose more weight have lost more, though the emphasis is more on looks than on health. Huge motivation here to lose weight.

Want to create a separate weight loss blog and yes NB, add a weight counter, but am just not getting the time. Right now am stealing some time from what I should be doing.

Keep writing NB, good job ( I hope I can say that for your weight loss too ;))
