I went to Dr. Champion this morning to review my weight loss and see if I needed another fill. When I weighed in, I was down a total of 65 pounds in 9-months, according to his scale. I told him about my frustration with my weight loss since August. Since my last visit in July, [...]

Wading Through The Plateau & A New Profession!
I have upped my workout routine to 45 minutes rather than 30 to see if it helps with my plateau. Plus, I just think it’s time for me to up my routine anyway. Usually when I jog through the park, it takes about 45 minutes. But gym time was usually 30-minutes of cardio and then [...]

Running My First 5K Since Surgery!

Paris Trip Postponed
Unfortunately, I didn’t make it to Paris as planned. But on the bright side, I am back in Los Angeles for a few days to see my one-month-old baby nephew, Gabriel! Last night I was the first person ever to babysit him! I gave my sister and brother-in-law a break, since they haven’t had any [...]
