Surviving Saturn Return

Join me in all my adventures as I approach the big 3-0. The planet Saturn takes 29.5 years to orbit the Sun; when it returns to the exact degree along the ecliptic it occupied at the time of a person's birth this is referred to as Saturn Return. Saturn is associated with fear, confusion, difficulty, accomplishment, reflection, and maturity. Astrologers believe that the 30th birthday is a major rite of passage and marks the "true beginning" of adulthood.

Two Important Facts

1. Scientists have discovered that Sperm have a sense of smell.

2. I just found out that in order to loose one pound, the body must use 3500 calories. That is to say that we either take in that many fewer, or exercise that much more, or some combination equaling 3500. DAMN!!! That is a huge amount of calories. No wonder it’s so difficult to loose weight. That’s almost 16 pilates classes. FUCK!!

    I don't think it is that high for most people. Most "scientific research" is based on men and one number does not take into acct individuals' height weight etc. According to myfooddiary.com, which has my personal info, my calorie intake - calories burned should be about 400 calories a day lower to loose a pound a week than to maintain, over a week that is 2800.
