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 [...]

Spoilers & Positivity
I will start this blog off with some positive news! Yesterday I went dress shopping with my mom because I need 2 new dresses for some weddings – and I got the dresses at Nordstrom’s and Bloomingdale’s in record time! One if fancier for the wedding and the other is for a rehearsal dinner. It [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Cherry Blossoms
Things overall are going well. Work has been good. I am going to start looking at getting a new car – or by new I mean new for me – probably a used one. I’ve driven the same Volvo since I was 15! I love him – and named him Ringo. He’s seen me through [...]

Just Dance
I had so much fun last night – a friend of mine whom I haven’t seen in like a year and a half held a Yoga Trance Dance Workshop at Yoga Samadhi Studios. It was sort of like Yoga meets a Widespread Concert. It started off with traditional Yoga poses, but then you branch out [...]

Back From Paris … Some Ponderings
I feel like I am getting back in the swing of things since coming home from Paris. I feel a little lazy – maybe it’s just the jet lag? I’ve been back for one week, and when I got home, I went straight to work and then came down with this cold. I haven’t been [...]
