to Onederland! I’m beginning to understand that it’s not really a big deal because I still have more weight to lose. That said, I’m also closer to losing the baby weight 😀 The last time I was here (201.2), it was the summer of 2019. Can’t believe it’s. been almost 4 years since I was…

It’s Friday evening, and I am not going to a concert tonight. I’m not even going to go out! I’m actually looking forward to an evening where I don’t have to do anything. Got lotsa plans for the weekend but tonight is a free night. I’m really working on consistently eating to enough…I’ve had many…

It’s been a minute…and I’m still here! Lots of great stuff to report these days. The first one: I had a total food victory today. I took myself out for a very nice meal and an overnight at a sweet little hotel. So there I was, on my way to dinner at this fabulous restaurant,…

Been a while since I was here…lots of fun stuff going on for me! First of all, my daughter has been here this week visiting from college for her spring break. In that time, I have given a concert with my piano duo partner (daughter and husband in attendance), we went to NYC as a…

Alrightey then…very busy weekend for me. Unusualuff: working a lot, not eating like t usually do, more drinking. I’m just trying to find my way. I’ve still been losing weight, which is a bit of a surprise to me, I have to admit. So much pressure, but I have been sticking to my plan and…

Today is the anniversary of the march across the Edmond Pettis Bridge in Selma, AL. And unfortunately, the battle for equal rights and for everyone to vote goes on. In my world, today I’m marking the 2-month mark of finding out that my cholesterol and sugar levels were out of control, and I began this…
