With a wedding in thirty days, there is still so much to do!

Where do we begin? Have you ever had so much on your plate that you actually got stuck and didn't end up accomplishing diddly squat? Well, I think that is sort of where I am right now.

Not only do I have my very own wedding in one month, I've got a business to run, a new kitchen to oversee, and a whole lot of transition.

It's about time for me to get centered and focused on the work ahead! tuxedo shirt
One thing that we can count on in this life is unpredictability.

We simply can not predict when life will throw us a curve ball and forever change the dynamics of our world.

One day we are breathing as if the ability to breathe is the most taken for granted function of the human body. Usually we do not even give our breaths a second thought. We think we will live forever. We think that our loved ones will live forever. Then the curve ball hits and human breath becomes the most valuable of commodities.

Sometimes I'm just more motivated than other times to lose weight. Right now I should be far more motivated than I am. In thirty days I'm walking down the aisle and after all I'd like to look as good as possible in my wedding gown. I'd also like to look as good as possible for my groom.

So what's the problem?

What are ephedra supplements and are they safe?

Wikipedia describes Ephedra as "both a stimulant and a thermogenic; its biological effects are due to its ephedrine and pseudoephedrine content.[17] These compounds stimulate the brain, increase heart rate, constrict blood vessels (increasing blood pressure), and expand bronchial tubes (making breathing easier). Their thermogenic properties cause an increase in metabolism, evidenced by an increase in body heat."

Wikipedia goes on to say:

"Ephedra is widely used by athletes despite a lack of evidence that it enhances athletic performance. Ephedra may also be used as a precursor in the illicit manufacture of methamphetamine.

Ephedra has also been used for weight loss, sometimes in combination with aspirin and caffeine. Some studies have shown that ephedra, when taken in a regulated and supervised environment, is effective for marginal short-term weight loss (0.9kg/month more than the placebo), although it is unclear whether such weight loss is maintained.[23] However, several reports have documented the large number of adverse events attributable to unregulated ephedra supplements.

Side effects of ephedra may include severe skin reactions, irritability, nervousness, dizziness, trembling, headache, insomnia, profuse perspiration, dehydration, itchy scalp and skin, vomiting, hyperthermia, irregular heartbeat, seizures, heart attack, stroke, or death.
