Para usted amigo extranjero en tierras cundiboyacenses. De la A a la C

Como uno de los propósitos de este espacio virtual es el de educar a sus asiduos lectores, me he puesto en la tarea de consultar fuentes serias con textos serios para que no se diga después que este blog carece completamente de seriedad. Y como hay que apoyar el turismo colombiano (¡Vive Colombia, viaja por ella!) se les deja este pequeño diccionario de algunos términos que escuchará por estos lados del interior colombiano del señor Richard P. Doerr en su artículo Algunos Apuntes Sobre el Léxico de Cundinamarca con un pequeño proceso de edición para la época (por lo que va en varias entregas).

Hi

I just joined this lovely site. Lots of individuals have added so many good things here. I would also like to contribute some thing for this community. I would like to share some [url=http://www.weightrapidloss.com/lose-10-pounds-in-2-weeks-quick-weight-loss-tips]quick weight loss tips[/url]. If you want to know how to lose 10 lbs in a week, you are believably not seeing for a common diet and exercise plan. You can lose weight with a standard diet and work out plan, Still this requires a lot of time doing intensive cardio exercises and adhering a strict diet. Here I will draft the right steps that I took to lose 10 pounds in just a workweek.

1. Keep Distance from all fried foods for the week
2. Drink an 8oz glass of Citrus paradisi with breakfast every day. (this accelerates up your metabolism)
3. Eat Up limited portions (stop consuming when you are full)
4. If you are consuming 3 huge a meals a day, consume 5-6 smaller meals to keep your metabolism up and keep your body burning fat.
5. Aviod your habbit of eating after 9 P.M.. Its good to eat before 9 P.M. so that our body gets proper time to burn calories before sleep.
6. Proper sleep is necessary everyday.. Not having plenty sleep causes been proven to be a major factor to the body storing excess fat.
7. Utilise a body/colon clean for the 7 days. This will get rid of needless fat stored just about the stomach area as well as cleanse your body of harmfull pollutants that cause you store fat and feel tired. Flush away excess pounds around the stomach area that otherwise would be hard to lose.
8. I advice you using Acai Berry Diet Pills. This one is proven to work, and you can get a free trial.
9. For those man's/womans who wish to burn fat quickly, avoid alcoholic drink.
