How she did it: Inspired by watching the Ironman World Championship on TV Kim started exercising, working up to 60-90 minutes, five days a week. She ate small meals five times a day and eventually shed 60 lbs. Then, along with her husband, she scaled 19,340 feet of Mt. Kilimanjaro, something she said she never could have done if she hadn’t lost the weight.
1. Whisk together mayonnaise, relish, and 1/4 teaspoon of the Old Bay in a small bowl.
2. Place half of the shrimp in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. Add egg, garlic, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay; pulse just until combined. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Roughly chop remaining shrimp and add to bowl. Add parsley and stir just until combined. Shape mixture into four 3 1/2-inch patties.
3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties in a single layer; cook until edges are crispy and shrimp is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
4. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each muffin; top with 4 teaspoons of the mayonnaise mixture, tomato slices, 1 lettuce leaf, and other half of muffin.

Having missed the bulk of the Super Rugby campaign with a vertebra injury, the Springbok utility back will start on the bench in tomorrow’s clash against the Force at Kings Park Stadium in Durban.
Coach Robert du Preez’s relief was palpable, especially after the Sharks survived a bruising encounter against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires last Saturday.
Bosch will be absent from next week onwards as the under-20s gear up for their age-group World Cup, where the prodigiously talented playmaker will be required to lift Chean Roux’s side to greater heights.
“It’s great to have Patrick back, especially with the fact that Curwin is not going to be available to us,” Du Preez said.
“We were a little bit concerned Patrick wouldn’t be coming back in time because of Curwin’s departure but it’s worked out very well. We would have wanted to give him some decent game time, but it’s fine.
“He’s in great spirits and he’s looking great.”
Blockbusting flanker Philip van der Walt retains the captaincy after his abrasive showing in South America, with winger Sibusiso Nkosi set to make his debut in place of the rested Lwazi Mvovo.
It would be easy to say the Sharks are fielding a weakened team but the Force cannot be underestimated. Ruan Botha swaps with Stephan Lewies, while Odwa Ndungane makes way for Kobus van Wyk.
The last thing Du Preez wants is a scrap similar to the one the Sharks found themselves in against the Rebels two weeks ago when they drew 9-all.
Du Preez said they wanted to repay their fans for wasting their money on that weekend.
“We were disappointed after the Rebels and we asked for a big performance against the Jaguares and the boys did exactly that.
“We’ve certainly learnt the hard way that there aren’t any easy games in this competition and we’ve always said that.
“We’ll take one game at a time and we’ve got the Force to contend with this weekend. That’s our focus and we owe our fans a big one,” Du Preez said.
Sex is a normal part of a healthy relationship, but it can of course lead to unwanted pregnancy.
Luckily there are different forms of contraception, e.g. the Pill, condoms and cervical cap, which is a small, thimble-shaped cup made of silicone that fits over the cervix (the part of the uterus that opens into the upper part of the vagina).
But now researchers are exploring a new a new form of contraception: seaweed. Scientists are developing sperm-binding beads that could be used as a form of contraception.
According to The Scientist, the sticky balls are made from a sugary substance extracted from seaweed.
The national foundations of three former presidents and a deputy president are expected to be part of the national dialogues initiative in Braamfontein today.
The foundations of former presidents FW de Klerk, Thabo Mbeki, Kgalema Motlanthe and former deputy president Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, will join other foundations which will come together to discuss the “deep and pervasive national general crisis” facing the country.

Pietermaritzburg – Families who are set to benefit from the Vulindlela Development Association (VDA) housing project in Pietermaritzburg have been waiting four years for their homes to be completed, GroundUp reported.
The R2.1bn housing project in rural Vulindlela in the Msunduzi Municipality was approved by the Department of Human Settlements in 2011.
Beneficiaries of the project believe that construction of about 700 houses has stopped as a result of the poor quality of the structures.
Many of the homes remain incomplete, some without roofs, windows, and doors or cement slabs.
Sizakele Majola, 50, said his family has “lost hope”. Majola said they have made several visits to the VDA offices in a bid to get answers.
“They started building the house in December 2013. In 2014, they told me that they are stopping because the [house’s foundation] was poorly built.
They took the bricks that belonged to us and started building the house next door.
They said they would return to fix the slab [foundation] and continue with our house, but they didn’t. It broke my heart,” she said.
Majola then went to the VDA offices to demand answers and said she was shocked when they told her that according to their system their home was done.
“I may not be educated but that information confused me. How can a house that only ended up with a slab be complete? It’s been four years now. We don’t know if the project will still continue or not,” she said.
Majola’s daughter Zinhle Majola said the family was forced to share a small mud house with other relatives while they wait for their new home.
“We are all squashed in the same rondavel. They should not have raised our hopes. It’s clear that people living in rural areas will always be victims of government projects,” said Majola.
Spokesperson for the Department of Human Settlements Mbulelo Baloyi said they were aware of the incomplete project.
Baloyi said that after the visit by President Jacob Zuma in 2016, VDA management promised to visit the affected households and fix the problems.
He said the delays were also due to residents “fighting over houses”.
When GroundUp contacted VDA Chief Executive Officer Senzo Mfayela, he said they were forced to halt operations due to funding issues.
“The project fund administrator has been replaced. We expect this problem to be resolved in the next two to three weeks,” he said.
Mfayela said that any defects were identified by their quality assurance team. He said a field officer will be visiting the homes of families to investigate their complaints.
