Hi there
It's been awhile. Honestly, I haven't been really into the whole Livejournal thing for awhile, so I'm not sure how much I'll be on here or not. I think it's coming with age and personal life and so on. So here's a quick update ( Read more... ) -
45 Pounds Gone!
Yup. I have officially lost 45 pounds since I started this weight loss thing. I feel great (well, except for now. I had the bright idea to do Zumba after dinner and I should have waited longer), and by spring I'm going to need a brand new wardrobe.
Here's a picture of my progress. I'll get full-length ones soon enough. Definitely by 50.

Celebrations and Benefits
Lots of good things happening Chez Andsheewas. First, I'm down 20 lbs. since my birthday. That's a 14-lb. drop since I joined SparkPeople. I like this program because it provides practical guidance to real situations. There are no points. There are no meetings. It's just me being accountable for me. And I like that. I'm also concentrating more on ( Read more... ) -
Updating...
Wow. I haven't posted in awhile. It's been a busy, yet uneventful couple of weeks. Last Monday was Joe's birthday. We went out to dinner at the Weber Grill, which was quite tasty. On the Sunday before, we attempted to go to the planetarium, but the Bears game foiled our plans. We ended up at the Art Institute, which we hadn't been to since our ( Read more... ) -
The Best Thing About New York City
Last weekend I flew in to New York City, destination Brooklyn, for the wedding of my friend Billey and her fiancée, Lydia. I was jazzed for this for some many reasons, number one being that Billey and Lydia could be legally married, no partnership, no civil union, but married and all the benefits therein. Like many life decisions, marriage is a ( Read more... ) -
Smatterings of Suburbia
Not much happening. Labor Day trip was great. Jeremiah and I shared a birthday celebration. Big ones for us: 5 for him and 30 for me. It was great to spend time with my family, but especially the little guy. He's such a neat kid. Then again, isn't that how I feel about both nephews and the niece ( Read more... ) -
Getting there
C25K workout 2 a success. I managed to pump up my walking speed to compensate for running too hard too quickly on Monday. That seemed to work out well as I didn't have to cheat on the running intervals. I also didn't cramp up in my feet or my side as quickly. I bought a pair of new running shoes (mine are two years old!) to motivate me on this ( Read more... ) -
Got to move it!
We're settling into our new digs nicely, and I think all of the physical labor of moving weekend has inspired Joe and I to keep up the momentum. Mike lent Joe his folding bike until he decided if he wanted to buy a bike, which I think will be his birthday present, so he's been riding to the train every morning. I've cut pop out of my diet for the ( Read more... ) -
