Dr. Bashioum’s Friday Photo: Racing at Road America
August 18th, 2012
I really enjoy posting my random Friday Photos! Lindsay and I joined Peter Kitchak (my winery buddy) again at Road America Raceway in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Racing vintage cars is not for the timid. Peter was favored to win the featured race of the weekend and had the fastest lap times going into the finals. Winning wasn’t meant to be this year, but despite a mechanical failure to his Lola T70 and with a substantial lead he came in 3rd. It was great fun to be in the pits with RM Motorsports again.
Here we are with Peter’s Lola. Photo courtesy of Leah at RM Motorsports.
Mel’s Blog: My New Flat Tummy
August 13th, 2012
I am now 7 weeks post-op following my abdominoplasty or tummy tuck surgery and I love my stomach! The swelling isn’t completely gone yet, but so far the results are fantastic. I’ve NEVER had such a flat stomach in my whole life. I haven’t really changed sizes much, but my clothes fit very differently.
I decided to share my experience because I never thought that this was possible. I always thought that cosmetic surgery was out of my reach. Hollywood moms do this…not Midwestern moms! Well, this Midwestern mom sure did and it was worth it. Losing all of the extra weight that I wanted to lose before surgery worked out great, because now I feel like my tummy tuck was the finishing touch. Most of the people in my life don’t really notice a huge change, but I feel completely different. For the first time in my life, I don’t think about my stomach.
THAT made the whole thing worth it!
Thank you for sharing this experience with me.
