I thought it was time to give a bit of an update on Lulu, since many of you like following her. (I think more readers come to find out about her than me ). Up to today, I’ve been spending every single day with Lulu, only leaving her along for a few hours (4 1/2 [...]

Book Review: Born Round

I just finished reading Frank Bruni’s Born Round: A Story of Family, Food, and a Ferocious Appetite and I have to say, without equivocation, that it’s one of the best books I’ve read in a long, long time. I’m upset with myself for waiting so long to read this book. I had heard about it [...]
Technology has me running in circles…

…and spending way too much money! It all started the other day when I wanted to wear the BodyBugg. I’d made it a goal to start wearing it daily so that I could track my calories in vs. calories out. You know the drill. It had been at least 6 months since I’d last used [...]
I’m Approved!

Earlier this morning I got a letter from Kaiser letting me know that I’ve been approved for the Lap Band surgery! WhooooooooHOOOOOOOOOO! I made a quick little YouTube video to commemorate the news: (You KNOW I was excited if I went on camera, for all of YouTube and you guys to see, without any make-up [...]

Whew! My heart is still beating fast after my 30-min session with Just Dance. It was so much fun, although according to the game, I really don’t have much rhythm, which is so not true. The way the game works is that you follow the “choreographer” that’s on the screen. The tricky part (besides the [...]
BodyBugg Blues
Posted in Bodybugg, exercise, weight loss, tagged Bodybugg, tech trouble with Body Bugg on July 21, 2010 | 7 Comments »
So after months of not knowing exactly where my BodyBugg(BB) was, I finally found it about a month ago. Then last night I told myself I was going to start wearing it to get into the habit of recording my calories burned and steps taken. I plugged it in last night to make sure it [...]
Well, THIS is unexpected!

Before I explain the butterfly, let me give you a bit of background, because all good stories have background, don’t they? I live in a cute, 40s-50s style duplex. It’s got charm, it’s got style, and I absolutely love it – inside. I’ve lived here almost four years, which is the longest I’ve ever lived [...]

Yesterday I went to the informational meeting at Kaiser about the Lap Band procedure. Since I just got my Flip video camera, I decided to make another video. I thought I would record it and it would be up within a few minutes. Oh, how wrong I was. I am quickly learning that in order [...]

If you’re a long-time reader, you already know most of the info contained within this video, but you might be interested in watching it because Lulu makes a cameo appearance. BTW – The quality isn’t what I expected it to be, but I think that’s because I had to edit it in iMovie and then [...]
