I've been gone from 43T for so long! 2 months ago

Boy have I missed it. Today, I’m grateful

1) to be back on 43T and to have cheers waiting for me. And to be able to dole a few cheers out.
2) for a plan to look at my exercise and nutrition goals anew this weekend.
3) for my job, even if it’s challenging these days. My sister lost her job a few weeks ago & even though she says she’s “funemployed,” I know the uncertainty is difficult (Though yeah for her for going to museums, and seeing friends and fixing up her house.)
4) this being my daughter’s first Christmas when she’s on the lookout for Santa
5) for a nice Thanksgiving with my Mom, stepDad, husband and bambina. Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free.



Read 39 books in 2009
I'm reading! 5 months ago

I’ve read a few books over the past few months. Nothing too highbrow, but a few good things:

1) The Trump Card by Ivanka Trump (believe it or not, a really good book about women and work!)

2) Dietgirl by Shauna Reid. Inspiring true story not just about losing weight, but living and loving life your life right now, not 10 or 20 or 30 pounds from now.

3) The Spa, a novel by Fay Weldon. One great line: “Thank you, Mother. I forgive you all the wrongs you ever did me. Like the rest of us, you were the best mother your nature and circumstances allowed you to be.”

Have a great rest of August, 43T friends!

Thankful today for lots of things: 6 months ago

1) Cdngirl2 keeping in touch on 43T and Facebook. I love our virtual Mommy friendship!
2) My little girl. She is so sassy and funny and her own person and I love her so much it makes my heart hurt.
3) Boxing class. I don’t like to overemphasize losing weight, but I recognize myself in the mirror again and I LOVE that.
4) My J-O-B. I’m glad to have it.
5) My sweet husband.
6) Finding a little boutique with a huge sale downtown. Got a pretty necklace for me and a book and a set of blocks for the bambina.
7) Summer.
8) My husband just handed me an ice-cold mojito. See number 5 on this list.
9) Carmen Miranda movies!
