I was checking out my stats this morning and looked to see what search queries people were using to find my site, and as usual, found it rather interesting.

I was surprised to see that “t burn fat attack combo” warrants me quite a few hits a day, since I believe that there was only one post I ever used that phrase in and it was a LONG time ago.

So, since so many people search for that apparently, and are visiting my blog looking for information about it, I figured I’d share my experience with you all.

I first began taking the T burn fat attack combo, which is most commonly purchased at Attilio’s Discount in the St. Louis area and to my knowledge cannot be purchased on the net, because I felt like I needed to lose a little weight. My room-mate at the time, had started taking it and only took a few before giving up. So I took over the rest.

The first thing I will tell you, is that for the first week or two that you take the t burn fat attack combo, you will feel jittery, and a little shaky - this is the ephedrine and the caffeine. After your body has adjusted, you will feel energized, revived, no cravings for certain foods, your mind will feel clearer. You will get more done. For some, the adjustment period is about 3 days, some a week, and some about two weeks. Some cannot handle it at all, but it seems that case is rare.

I think during the three or four months I took the t burn fat attack combo (and the only reason I stopped is because I ran out of pills LOL), I felt more “alive” than I ever had. I felt great. I had all this energy and I got so much done. I slept better, I worked better, my mind thought better. And I was losing weight too! I’m ADHD so the caffeine has the reverse affect on me, and it was like “medicating” only safer.

I wound up losing a total of 35lbs in less than two months. I continued to take the t burn fat attack combo for a couple of months after that, just to keep the fat burning. I didn’t want to put it all back on. I was training myself to eat healthier so when I did stop taking it, I would have a plan to keep the weight off.

It’s now about two years later, and I have probably put on 10lbs of that lost weight, HOWEVER that is because I don’t watch what I eat very well anymore. Laziness? Not really, just I love desserts and pasta. The fatty stuff - ya know?

So I am thinking about getting the T Burn Fat attack combo again, and losing the weight all over again. The only downfall I could find with the whole system is that it is a bit pricey, at over $100 for the set. But it’s easy to take. You take the diet pills in the morning (or i did) and you take the fat burners 30 minutes before each meal, and you take a certain number depending on what you are planning on eating for lunch. For instance, if you are headed to McD’s for lunch you might wish to take three of them. Whereas if you are eating a deli sandwich you brought from home, the fat content is probably less and you might wish to only take one or two.

I do recommend drinking a ton of water while taking the t burn fat attack combo. I was thirsty a lot, but it was great because I was drinking lots of water, and I continued that practice even when I was done with the combo.

So that is my experience with the T-Burn Fat Attack Combo. If you have any questions, post them in the comments and I will gladly respond. This was only my personal experience and from what I have heard, results definitely vary.

Alright, after getting some advice from an “expert” - my mom. (she used to run the St. Louis Newfoundland Rescue Group many eons ago). We decided to get Molly a “playpen” for when were are gone. That way she doesn’t eliminate in her crate because we didn’t get home in time, and that way we don’t have a horrible time housebreaking.

So we set the little square up and put her little puppy pad in there and a few toys and let her get used to it from the outside. She did great.

We thought we should put her in there a little bit at a time so she would get used to it and not hate it. So we popped her inside, and of course, the old saying “Curiousity Killed The Cat” kicked in. Maple decided she needed to check the new play area out herself. So once Molly went in, so did Maple on her own. This is what we found.

And of course, moments later they were playing as they do in the kitchen often. So it was kind of neat to see. Maple is a Manx cat and seems to have a very maternal nature about her. You can see it in how she interacts with the other animals in the house. So it is only fitting that she is Molly’s new best friend.

I thought I’d submit a simple quote today. Something that doesn’t require great thought, but simply is.

“Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it.” - Oscar Wilde

It’s funny, I actually hate waiting for these to come out! And then sometimes I actually forget to check for them! Not today!

If you really knew me you would know that…

Ok this one is a little harder to decide what to put. I even went through and read my 100 Things About Me post to see if I could figure out something that I would want to write.

If you really knew me, you would know that I am the most emotional person you will probably ever meet. When I took a personality test many moons ago, I was found to be “ultra-sensitive” which is as “sensitive” as you can possibly get. It is not actually the greatest quality, as I can be found crying at concerts when music of singing moves me even a little. I can empathize like nobody else I know can. It’s scary in some ways. I keep it in check most of the time, but occasionally it slips away from me. It is not one of my favorite qualities, though it can sometimes work to my advantage in that it is much easier for me to put myself in someone elses shoes to help understand what they are going through.

I have been watching him everyday for at least the past couple of weeks. He’s so beautiful. He brought along a few females and another male. They dominate our bird feeder, and the only birds they are totally willing to share with, are the finches. They are so much fun to photograph!

Well, the time has come to introduce the new addition to our home. Since Reba didn’t work out, because we love our cats dearly and do not want them eaten, we decided to go with a puppy because then at least they “grow up” together. It was actually per a lot of advice.

This is Molly. She is a Border Collie and she is between two to three months old. She’s adorable as all puppies are. We weren’t going to do a puppy because we know how time consuming they are, but so was Reba so it cannot be all bad. And her story was too sad not to at least try with her. The story behind Molly, is that her mother and her three sisters were brought in by an older man who was “moving”. The mother Border Collie had her puppies in the shed, and he left them alone. They had no socialization before they came to the adoption center. Of the four, one was terrified and wouldn’t come anywhere near anyone. If she could have melded into the cement wall, she would have. One came right up, though cautious. The dominant one of course. Then there were two in the middle. One was black and brown and when we held her, she wouldn’t avert her gaze ANYWHERE. She just was stiff and wouldn’t move. She was absolutely terrified. I felt so horrible for these puppies. Then there was Molly. The sweet little black and white girl who wanted desperately to come and see what the fuss was all about, but was much to terrifed to try. When they brought her to us, she was much like the first one, terrified and didn’t move. But her eyes kept looking all over. You could tell she was curious about everything, but was a  bit too scared. We chose her. No particular reason. Just something when I held her. Molly is a different puppy from yesterday. After about four hours here, she started to play cautiously, was totally interested in our cats and thought they were her playmates, and all in all started acting like a real puppy. She is adorable, affectionate, smart and even tempered. I’m already falling in love.

Where on your body do you have a scar, and what caused it?
Under my chin I have two small scars. They were caused by ice skating accidents when I was a child. Pretty young. I think like 3 or 4.

What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle?
A horrible car accident about six months after my father passed away. I should NOT have walked away from that accident. I did, and was completely unharmed. It was very near where my father was buried.

Regis Philbin or Bill O’Reilly. I’m sure there are others.

deech = cheese. my son said “nanook” for chiken and “pomquest” for complex - as in apartment complex. Those always made me laugh.

Fill in the blank: I have always thought ______ was ______.
I have always thought homeschooling was the best choice I ever made for my child. I don’t know why I stuck him back in school

*sigh*

Does it ever get “normal”? There’s always something!

Well, the bad news is, that no matter how much I was willing to work with Reba, and no matter how much we liked her, there is some behavior I am just not willing to work with, when I have five kids.

Sad, but true, we had to take her back. She tried to eat our cat. I was half kidding when I mentioned it before. But she really DID try to eat our cat. Mocha was in her mouth completely, and I swear by the grace of God she suffered no damage except she is a bit more “careful” now. The shelter was great about it, and completely understood, they admitted that they had not realized that she was agressive at all. They weren’t happy to hear that she almost ate our cat, they are happy that Mocha is ok and that now we know she has to be placed with a family with no small pets.

It sucks too. I went into the whole dog adoption thing with the mind set that getting an older dog was humane. The sweet puppies go home easily but the larger dogs just sit and wait for a home for months. Reba had been there since September. That’s half her life!

However, I guess the good news is, is that we do have a new puppy (that is Reba pictured above, not the new puppy). One of those bittersweet moments. I will post about her tomorrow.
