Better than fine, really. Life is amazing, and I’m so happy. Yesterday was my dad’s 70th birthday, and we (my sister, mom, and I) took him to the SF Giants game vs. the Boston Red Sox. As much as I love the Red Sox, I definitely hoped they lost last night. It wouldn’t be a [...]

I just got an email letting me know that I won this award: Online Schools What a nice surprise! When I saw the list of the other blogs that won the award, I felt like my little ol’ blog wasn’t worthy. Click on the badge to see who else won; there are some fantastic blogs [...]
Beauty Day! (after a minor set back)
Posted in anticipation, excitement, feeling good, life, physical changes, self esteem, walking, tagged curly hair, dog grooming, Lulu!, new haircut, physical changes, stacked bob, summer cut, walking on June 23, 2010 | 11 Comments »
All week I couldn’t wait for Wednesday to get here because Lulu had her first grooming appointment and I had my own styling appointment to get a new hairstyle. Lulu is adorable even in her scruffy state, but I knew she’d be even cuter after a grooming session. The groomers that were recommended to me [...]

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I’ve sort of gotten out of the habit of working out since the end of the school year when it was crazy-hectic. I’ve done a few workouts since school got out, but nothing to write home about. I had tons of errands to do last week, my first full week of summer. [...]
Weekend Update

This first weekend with Lulu has been so much fun. She is definitely my little shadow, following me EVERYWHERE, including the bathroom. We had a really sleepless night (maybe 2 hours of sleep total for both of us), on Friday, but on Saturday I read up on some websites and downloaded Cesar Millan’s How [...]
Lulu’s here!!!
Posted in anticipation, excitement, life, tagged Lulu!, new puppy on June 18, 2010 | 9 Comments »
Ok, so for those of you who want to read about weight loss and fitness, you’ll have to forgive me. Since Lulu finally got here today, I am afraid that this blog is going to be filled with posts all about her for a while. I was so nervous and excited when I left to [...]
Lulu Day!

If you’ve been reading the blog for the past month or so or following any of my tweets lately, you know that I’m about to get a new puppy. I’ve named her Lulu, and she’s a yorkie-bichon mix (yorchon). I’ve only seen her in photos and a quick, 5-second video, but I already love her. [...]
Errands = Tonin’ Up
Posted in feeling good, life, moderation, walking, weight loss, tagged Skechers, Skechers Tone Ups, walking on June 16, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Whew! Just thinking about what I put my feet (and legs, thighs, and butt) through yesterday makes me a little bit tired. No, I wasn’t at the gym or even on a neighborhood walk – I ran errands and shopped ’till I dropped (more on that later) while wearing these Skechers Tone-Ups that I got [...]
HYC Update: Summer Reading

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Today’s post isn’t weight-loss related, but I know you’re going to love it anyway. I’ve loved reading book since I was a very young girl. My father was a huge reader of pulp fiction detective/crime novels, and my mom loved the classics (Rebecca, Jane Eyre, etc.). Since elementary school I have always [...]

The key to change…is to let go of fear.” ~~ Rosanne Cash I’ve decided that this summer is going to be the summer of changes. Summer always brings with it change – a break from the daily routines and obligations, a change in weather, a new variety of fruit and veggies available, a different wardrobe, [...]
