“Be an After, Stay an After.” Weight Watchers uses this as one of their main advertising slogans, and I love it! It’s all about making the commitment to losing weight and keeping it off — something that up to this point, has been elusive to me.
Last night when I got home from work, I [...]

I’m surprising myself…
Posted in fitness, health, life, life list, new beginnings, new discoveries, self-improvement, weight loss on July 28, 2007 | 3 Comments »
…with how much I’ve been enjoying exercising.
Last night BFF and I went to the track at the high school in our neighborhood and walked again. Even though I was feeling sort of crummy before I left the house and didn’t really want to go, knowing that she was waiting for me made me know I [...]
The Bridge
Posted in death, life, movies, suicide on July 25, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I just finished watching one of the most disturbing movies I have seen in a long time.
It’s called The Bridge, and it’s about people who commit suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge. The film was inspired by a story that appeared in the New Yorker called, “Jumpers,” by Tad Friend. The film’s executive [...]
10,000 Steps

Yesterday BFF told me about a cool program she found through the Kaiser Permanente site. Say what you will about Kaiser, but I’ve always had a great experience with it. I like the ease of the HMO and I have had really nice doctors, for the most part. If there is a [...]
Is there anything more beautiful…

…than a plump, ripe, just-picked-off-the-vine tomato?
I took this picture with my cell phone, so the quality isn’t the best, but you get the idea.
My dad just brought these tomatoes over this morning, straight from his garden. I can’t wait to make a salad tonight and taste them.
Tomatoes remind me of my childhood. I [...]
Gettin’ back into the walking groove
Posted in fitness, health, life list, self-improvement, weight loss on July 24, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Last night I was pretty proud of myself. As I mentioned before, I had tried walking at a local track a few months ago, but couldn’t even make it a quarter mile because the pain in my shins and calves was excruciating. I chalked it up to being way out of shape, but a few [...]
Dream Dinners

Yesterday BFF and I went to our first Dream Dinners session, and I had a great time!
Dream Dinners is a service where you choose entrees from a menu and then go to a store location and put them all together. They do all of the hard work for you — planning the menu, getting the [...]
Great Progress!

Last week I told all of you about my high blood pressure diagnosis and you were all extremely supportive, so I thought I’d give you an exciting update.
I got on the scale this morning and I’ve lost 4.4 lbs this week! I know that most of this is the water weight I had been retaining, but [...]
Buddhism in a Nutshell
Posted in Buddhism, journey, karma, life, life list, new beginnings, new discoveries, perspective, philosophy, self-improvement, spirituality on July 16, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been interested in Buddhism since high school when I visited a Buddhist temple for extra credit in my Comparative Religions class. (I went to a Catholic high school and religion was a mandatory class). I liked the serenity, the calmness, and the idea that each person is finding their own path to enlightenment/Nirvana.
As you’ve [...]
A new little Miracle

Yesterday at 7:07am my sister gave birth to her second daughter, Baby E. She was about a week and a half early, and weighed in at a smidge less than 5lbs! She’s so tiny, but completely healthy and happy.
Going to visit her and my sister in the hospital yesterday really proved that what they say [...]
My wake-up call
Posted in fitness, health, journey, life, new beginnings, self-improvement, weight loss on July 13, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Today I went to the doctor because my feet have been getting really swollen for the last month or so. So bad, in fact, that the only shoes I can really wear are flip-flops. The swelling gets worse when I sit at a desk all day, as I have to do for my [...]
New Shoes…A New Lifestyle?
Posted in fitness, journey, life, new beginnings, self-improvement, weight loss on July 11, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been trying to work out on a more regular basis this summer in an effort to get into an exercise routine that I can maintain during the more hectic school year. So far, I’ve done fairly well, but I had a way to go, so I decided that investing in a pair of athletic [...]
My Life List

My book club just read The Next Thing on My List, by Jill Smolinski. The book is in the chick lit/beach book genre. (It’s a quick read!) The plot is predictable, but the premise of the book was so interesting that I recommended the book to the book club.
The premise – two [...]
A Man Fast

What is a Man Fast, you ask? Well, it’s a term that BeachGirl used a few months ago when she was simply fed up with the men she’d been dating. She decided to lay off men for a while and just concentrate on all the other things she had going on in her [...]
