I finally decided to say goodbye to blogger and welcome to Wordpress. One week ago, I have purchased a hosting from bluehost.com. I am still learning working with Wordpress now. It’s all new to me and difficult but it’s challenging. So, this would be the last post for blogger that has spanned for over 3 years. It was really nice my experienced in blogger. No other reason why should I move. I just want something new and new challenge. Update: Unfortunately, I can’t move to wordpress yet. For some reason, I renewed this domain www.raqmitch.com from godaddy.com in April 2008 and it expi...

Yesterday was the third attempts I wean my 12 month old daughter from breastfeeding. The first two attempts was failed.

If you want to lose 2 pounds a week, you have to consider two things, fiber and calorie intake. First, if you eat a lot of fiber, which means it’s easier to lose weight, because fiber will not stay in your system. Second, you have to count everything y...

When I say diet, I am talking about eating foods from all the different food groups in the right amount. This is what it means to me.

And for in between meals I like to eat apples. Overall, I was successful with my diet ...
