Calling All Forest Creatures…

May 25, 2010

This morning I woke up with the thought:  “Why don’t I walk today?” So instead of taking the car to the train station, I walked. For FOUR miles. Without a hitch and in time to catch the train. No panting, no unbearable pain, and it was enjoyable. But that’s not what I want to talk [...]

February 8, 2010

Had lunch today with my girlfriend Teresa and was telling her about my plans for the rest of the day. Monday is one of my exercise days so it’s time to shimmy and shake with Zumba. See, my current geekness level about this is well – profound. Yep. I am into it with a capital [...]

Cheesecake Numba Two – Life is SWEET!!!

January 3, 2010

Here’s the 2nd cheesecake I’ve made – ever in my life. This one turned out even better than the first, and it’s because of the silicone springform pan condom I use. I love my gadget. It’s a water proof “pan protector” that cooks your cake evenly and perfectly every time with no cracks, and a [...]

Yes Virginia, there is a chocolate cake. (Even after Weight Loss Surgery.)

December 30, 2009

Went to coffee with a coworker who gave me a belated Christmas gift. At first I wasn’t sure I wanted it. So – Weight Loss Surgery Myth Number One: If you have weight loss surgery, you’ll never eat again. Uh…Wrong. You eat. In fact, eating is a must. It’s still enjoyable, pleasurable, and all that.

Gratitude!

No Trash Zone

November 4, 2009

Weird food AHA moment recently.  My girlfriend organized a huge party to celebrate her daughter’s 4th birthday.  Think BPP – Big, Pink and Princess dress up party.  It was over the top and included one of those giant inflatable play structures, a piñata, and cake for days. NUTS and very fun. I got there early [...]

Giddyup Grocery Cart!

October 1, 2009

I had a non scale victory this morning. You know what that is right? It’s a milestone that is not related to the numbers going down on the scale. I noticed something I hadn’t been able to do before — because I thought I was too big… Here’s  the story: I don’t remember how much [...]
