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 [...]

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, [...]

Hello…Again!
I don’t know why I have been on a writing hiatus lately … I just honestly think I have been feeling like I don’t have anything to write about. This is completely untrue!

The Real Race Is Within Yourself
Yeah! I did the Peachtree Roadrace! It was such a great experience! I woke up at 6 am to get ready – eat breakfast – stretch – listen to some upbeat music. I took MARTA to the Lenox station and found my group (8). I had about 40 minutes until my timed group finally took [...]

10K. 55,000 Runners. One Peachtree Roadrace
Nearly two years ago I was sitting on my apartment balcony eating cereal. I think it was some type of Kashi Go Lean and some vanilla soy milk. 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 [...]

Thoughts at 2:30 on Memorial Day
I have this sinus infection which is keeping me a little under the weather lately. I’m not letting it stop me from being active! I still went to my running group on Saturday to train for the Peachtree Road Race on July 4!!! We did a 45-minute run and the weather was really humid and [...]
