Kia, this whole process has been incredible for me. I honestly didn’t realize how *big* the little things are. I think this probably part of the reason for the obesity epidemic, people really don’t realize how many calories they’re eating in one sitting. It’s some scary stuff.

I have my MLIS which is the same accept they added “Information”. I went through Drexel’s online program for my MLIS. I learned a lot from the program and being able to work on my own schedule worked better for me than being in a classroom. The hardest part was when I had to take stats (I am so not a math person).

I know a few people who transitioned from OM to ML(I)S or vice versa without any problems. If you want to work in an academic library, it always helps to have a Master’s in a secondary subject (especially the sciences).

If you want to know more about the different types of libraries and librarians, I’d recommend taking a look at Library Day in the Life http://librarydayinthelife.pbworks.com/w/page/34943821/Round-6,-January-24th-2011

That is SO awesome, I seriously always wanted to be a librarian since I was like… 17. I always thought it was the coolest job in the world, I can only imagine how much you get to learn on a daily basis. Do you have a Masters in Library Science? I’m in a Bachelor program for Organizational Mgmt right now, hoping to get my Masters in LS when this is over.

I think it is good for all of us to go calorie counting crazy every so often to make sure we keep our skills sharp as to knowing how many calories actually pass our lips. The ccino counting for that may kcals is crazy, but a reality we all have now with convenience food.

Great job this week and congratulations on your loss.

Yes, girl, learning is such a big part of this. Now I’m rattling off the caloric count on everything. LOL But it’s just mind boggling.

I’m so not a tea drinker but I am totally digging the Cranberry Pomegranate Herbal Tea. It’s delish!

Between the sick stomach and the “sick stomach” I am so done with fast food except for the Wendy’s Apple and Pecan Chicken Salad ~ LOVE. LOL

Amanda, SparkPeople works well for me because they have an app I downloaded to my Droid. I need to be able to track food immediately or I forget (maybe it’s wishful thinking) but Live Strong also works really well.

Milo, I absolutely love my job! And I know that I’m one of the blessed few who can say that but it really is one of the most rewarding career choices ~ I get to help people, I learn new things, I”m on top of emerging technologies, it’s crazy good!

You’re right, this calorie awareness thing can blow your dome! I just didn’t realize how many calories were in seemingly small things. Now I’m making better food choices but still… YIKES!
