1650 in Bitcoin

I received an email this week.  The words were generally polite yet firm, threatening and demanding.  

My computer had been infected and was being monitored.  The writer explained his expertise in matters of this type and ransom paid would prevent exposure of well, something. 

I felt some fear at first, especially since the correspondence was sent from my email address – or so it appears.  Calmness set in as I thought, “Do what you need to do, hacker.  I have nothing on my PC that would cause embarrassment if revealed to the world.  I am not paying you.”

Like many people, I have set a goal for weight loss and the number is significant!  I understand that it took years for me to arrive at this place.  Rationally, I understand that the reverse will also be true.

That realization makes me want to quit immediately.

I read the articles. I reviewed fad diets that promise amazing results.  I noticed that we should not expect life-changing weight loss in just a few months.  I listened to people inform me that weighing yourself should never be daily activity but should only be done once a week.  Apparently, the roller-coaster of scale measurements can be discouraging.
