Today didn’t start out very well. I have a few new stresses that I wasn’t expecting, and let’s just say that it’s hard to stay positive when life throws you a curveball. I’m just taking the attitude that I’m going to work with what I’ve got, and do my best to improve the situation slowly. [...]

Remember late last week when I asked for your help in renaming the blog? Well, I’ve got an update for you. I’ve decided to go back to my original, Bella on the Beach. So the contest is cancelled, but I appreciate the entries and the ideas. You guys really are creative, and I appreciate the [...]

I haven’t been eating PopChips lately, but I definitely love them. When you’re in the mood for something crunchy and salty, they hit the spot. And like the ad says, without a lot of guilt. I think they’ll be making an appearance at my house during one of the many parties I’ve got planned this [...]

I’m always on the lookout for new shows, blogs, etc. that can offer me motivation in my weight loss journey. I’ve recently found a few that I’m really enjoying and I thought you might, too. For me it all starts with food. The best defense against insane cravings taking me off track is to stockpile [...]

I just looked at my blog stats and realized that this is my 845th post! Wow, that’s a lot of weight loss writing!! Today I wasn’t sure what the scale would show after yesterday’s strange & painful injury…but I’ll get to that in a second. This week I’d noticed that the scale wasn’t moving much [...]

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! It feels great that I can proudly display this badge on my blog once again. At one point over the weekend I was getting a bit down on myself because I’d “only” lost 20 pounds after all of my blood, sweat, (money!) and tears on Medifast. But then I realized that 20 [...]

This morning I got up a bit later than normal, and in the past that would have put me off of my workout plans, but not today! Today I reminded myself that this week’s workouts were my gift to myself. So I put on my bathing suit, grabbed a quick cup of coffee and a [...]

Saturday I turn 40, and I can think of no better gift to give myself this week than the gift of celebrating my good health. Because even though I have more pounds than I’d like to on this body of mine, I also have a lot to be grateful for. I can walk, swim, jump, [...]

Everything, if you ask me! And I need your help to figure out what I should call this blog. You might ask why I’m thinking of changing it. Well, the answer is simple, I’m not sure which weight loss surgery I’m going to have. I thought I was 100% for lap band, but lately I’ve [...]

Yesterday I was wiped out and forgot to write a check-in post. I swam for 30 minutes, and could again feel the improvement in my breathing/strokes. Today was an “off” day for me because I took my dad to an SF Giants game, but I’m counting the walking we did, because we walked A LOT! [...]
