Happy 2-Year “Bandiversary”!
I have passed the 2-year mark since getting my lap band. Time is going by so fast, it seems. I am sometimes not sure time really reflects change or change reflects time. Perhaps they are like odds and ends, ups and downs – you really can’t have one without the other. I have started fitness [...]

Tower of Terror: A View of the Past
I am sitting on my couch, cat is to my left and I’m watching Dateline and talking to my friend David on Gchat who is in Prague! And my friend Sean just got back from Ethiopia. I definitely have traveling on my mind since my friends are galavanting around right now, although I can’t complain [...]

I was sitting there overlooking Peachtree Street as 55,000 people ran past my building, down 10th Street and capped off in Piedmont Park. I woke up pretty [...]

I Don’t Trust People Who Run While Wearing Gloves
This past Saturday was my very first running group! It was a really fun experience – maybe more fun than I had anticipated (sans the 7:30 am meet time). For starters, I had talked to my coach via email before the 1st run, and she placed me in the “Intermediate” group rather than the novice [...]

Running Group Starts Saturday
I start my running group on Saturday! I have joined a 10-week running group to train for the Peachtree Roadrace. I’m really excited! I heard from my coach today via email. She seems really nice and inspirational. I told her my times when I did my 5K and she has placed me in the intermediate [...]

Beep Beep! Peachtree Road Race!
I signed up for the Peachtree Road Race!!! I am so excited + nervous. It’s the biggest 10K in the country and it’s held July 4th. I live right on Peachtree Street, and I remember a few years ago I was sitting on my balcony – eating some cereal out of my favorite bowl – [...]

Got Band Loosened!
So, I made an appointment with my doc and went into the office this morning – yeah, my band was definitely too tight! I told them how difficult it had been for me to eat + how uncomfortable it was! They weighed me in and it seems I had lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks. [...]
