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 [...]

Life: The Battle of Calories & Control
Things are going pretty well in my life. I mean, I can always find something to complain about, “I need more money” … “Oprah is leaving me next year. WHY!!!!!” Last week really put a lot in perspective for me. I know 2 people who lost their lives. One was a sorority sister of mine, [...]

With My Friend, The Spatula
I have gotten back into my passion for cooking. Maybe it’s just the fact I’ve been more committed to cutting back my carbs, or the new season of Top Chef Las Vegas, or my Sunday matinee of Julie & Julia. Either way, I am glad to be back with my friend, the spatula. She’s a [...]

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’ll Have The Elvis Burger With A Side Of Tots…Or Not
Went to the Vortex last night for a friend’s B-Day dinner. I’m not the biggest fan of The Vortex because there really aren’t any healthy options there – but at the same time, I’m a big fan of it because of all those awful choices proudly displayed on the menu. What’s your fancy? A “Coronary [...]

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. [...]

Major Band Discomfort
I’ve been feeling a lot of tightness with my band since my last fill (about 2 weeks ago). I don’t know if I should wait a few more days to call my doctor? I’m not throwing up every time I eat, but I have major discomfort during and after every meal. Even after just a [...]

Paris! T-Minus 2 Days!
I am very excited to be traveling to Paris! Katie and I are leaving Tuesday and will arrive on Wednesday. This trip was supposed to happen before my job, but due to a myriad of reasons, it was postponed. I am going to get to meet some of the PR team who work at the [...]
