Running My First 5K Since Surgery!

In T-minus 8 hours I’ll be taking part in my 2nd 5K – but the first one since my surgery!  The first 5K I did was the Gobble Jog which took place last Thanksgiving morning, 2 months before my surgery.  I did it on a total whim with my sister and brother-in-law.  My time for [...]

My Lap Band Girls

On Thursday night I met with my “Lap Band Girls,” which is always such a treat.  All three of us are around the same age (okay, I am known as the baby of the group.  But nonetheless, I am the tallest!)  We each got our Lap Band within 6-weeks of one another.  And we all [...]

Learning To Sacrifice, Learning To Save: It’s A High Price To Pay To Live Healthy

I’ve been thinking a lot about money.  How could you not?  With the prices of gas and food, it’s difficult to not obsessively think about the green.  Even a movie is $10 in Atlanta.  I know it’s more in NYC.  It’s crazy!  I am so much better about saving money than I used to be.  [...]

Tao Poem

Sometimes I write poetry when I am falling asleep.  Last night I wrote (in my head) … Feelings can only be measured by words. Words can only be manifested into language. Language are the Myth Gods’ sorry excuse at expression. Love is Man’s word for God.   Language is limiting When it comes to the [...]

12:16 AM Thoughts

I’ve been feeling a little stressed + bored lately.  Even though I had a really fun weekend, I don’t know, I’ve just been feeling super restless.  I’ve been internally a little bit anxious lately about certain people in my life and also waiting to get news on a job position.  Unlike other times, I feel [...]

Paula Deen – The Most Frightening Thing Ever … And That’s Not All!

When I was at the beach with Katie, we were watching Paula’s Party on Food Network.  Have you seen her?  I’m telling you right now – she is FRIGHTENING!  I’m not sure if it’s her blue hair, her hyena cackle, her over-exaggerated southern drawl – or the fact that she took a huge bite out [...]

NSV (Non Scale Victories) While On Vacation!

1.  Going on a 6-mile bike ride to Turtle Cove and then going on a 2-mile walk/jog on the beach. 2.  Being the only one in my family to not order dessert at dinner.  I tasted a bite of theirs which was just as satisfying. 3.  We had this chef come to the beach house [...]

Physical Changes In My Family: A Reflection

About to head to the gym.  Feeling a little bored.  I don’t have a computer because my Apple is at the Apple Store for repairs.  Hopefully I will get my computer back this week!  I got back on Saturday from the beach with my family.  Had a great time jogging on the beach and eating lots [...]

Death, Gasoline & String Cheese

My week started off with a dead body. Literally. Right there on the road next to Marlow’s Tavern on West Peachtree. I saw a dead body – being put into a tan-colored body bag. CSI was there holding up sheets so people couldn’t see, but I saw. The dead body. CSI seems way cooler when [...]
