5 daysPosted by beth on July 30, 2009
It’s been 5 days since Matt and I started the South Beach Diet and the scale reports a 8.4 lb loss. Not too shabby.
Don’t get all freaked out. I know, I know. To the average person, that seems incredible. But, when you’re a dieting veteran, it isn’t all that exciting. I lost 13 pounds in [...]
I am a Woman, and Therefore, I Change My Mind!Posted by beth on July 26, 2009
After some cajoling from a friend, I have decided to give the South Beach Diet a try. Why, you might ask?
Here’s why:
It is nutritionally sound
It doesn’t involve journaling or calorie counting or points or any other thing I’m sick of
I have the built in support system of my husband doing it with me!!!!!
It could potentially [...]
Musings on ParenthoodPosted by beth on
I recently read this article in the New Yorker and it really gave me pause as to how we perceive our role as parents and all of the stigma and nonsense there is over it.

Looking AheadPosted by beth on July 22, 2009
I’ve been doing some preliminary work on finally committing to the weight loss battle and gettin’ er done. I am scoping out medical help this time. It is a hard thing for me to admit because I have always maintained that a person can do anything they set their mind to, and that there isn’t [...]

Happy NewsPosted by beth on July 15, 2009
I got good news yesterday. It is ok for me to start being in pain. Now, while to most of you, that doesn’t sound like good news, I assure you it is! It means that my shoulder is healing nicely, and unless I start playing for the NFL or some other high contact sport, I [...]
All in the FamilyPosted by beth on July 7, 2009
I recently, (like yesterday) had a family member come completely unglued towards me. It was probably one of the ugliest interactions I have ever had with another human being. Some of the things that were said were so hurtful that I am still reeling and feeling sort of like I have been run over by [...]
Time FliesPosted by beth on
I am awake and listening to the never ending sounds of booms, pops and whistles from the arsenal of the neighbor’s stash of illegal fireworks, and thought, “hey, it’s been a mighty long time since I blogged.”
So, I sit here trying to think of witty and relevant things to say since this post has been [...]
