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 [...]

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

Holiday Cheer!
My holiday party was super! I had my closest friends over to meet my sister, bro-in-law and Gabriel. I adore him to no end! My food was a hit, and I loved sharing it with my friends. I made tuna tar tare with wasabi on cucumber. Chicken with whole wheat bread crumbs, low-fat Jarlsberg [...]

Happy. Meal.
I really feel as though when you accomplish your battle with weight, you can accomplish anything. The same thing can be said for folks who battle their problems with drugs, smoking or alcohol, but I think about food especially because my weight is always something that I have struggled with. My entire life. My mom [...]

Smoking Causes Sinus Infections
This Blog doesn’t have to do with my weight, but it does have to do with something I feel very strongly about. I am very anti-smoking. I was watching Oprah today and she had a special with Dr. Oz where he is trying to help a couple quit smoking. The wife recently quit, but her [...]
