2010


I've been thinking all week about what I want in 2010. I want to be happy, that's obvious, but there are some very specific things I want to happen this year.

* I want to get to 140lb by March 1 and stay between 138 and 143lb.
* I want to continue to own up to my food issues.
* I want to find balance in my life.
* I want to reduce negativity in my life and not be a hater.
* I want to find joy in my life and embrace it.
* I want to swim 4800 meters for my 48th birthday in October and I want to do Freihofer's Run For Woman in June.
* I want to climb a mountain IN NICE WEATHER with Nancy.
* I want to open my heart to love and new experiences.

Not a bad list, but I also recognize that there are things in my way, namely my head and my knees. I am a work in progress still and forever.

I would love to hear from others about their thoughts and dreams for 2010. Maybe we can team up on some on these things. My best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year. 2009 was a pretty good year for me and with a little help from my friends I know 2010 will be just as good. Don't forget to check out the Smilebox in the previous entry. Love you. Anne

My Favorite Things of 2012

Image
It's that time of the year again.  Here is my list of favorites for 2012, in no particular order. 1.  My favorite TV shows The Walking Dead ( love and hate it ) , Homeland  (worth the cost of Showtime) and ..... Sons of Anarchy ( yet again ).  I don't know what that says about me as a person, but I don't care. 2.  At least one Saturday morning each month I head to the Troy Farmers Market where I immerse myself in the crowds and enjoy the sounds, smells, and flavors of fresh produce, bakery items and everything in between.  Why can't Albany have something like this?  The church that people want to turn into a brewery, how about a year long Farmers Market instead?  Rent it out as Art Space and turn it into a market place on the weekends.  Good thinking.  Maybe I should write a letter to the Times Union. 3.  Watching Ben play soccer.  There is no greater feeling as a parent then watching your child excel at something they ...

Three Weeks To Go

Image
I went out to dinner with friends last night and with my Gastric Bypass scheduled for May 21, we jokingly called it "My Last Supper", though Gail thought is was too sad of a title.  My next three weeks are going to be full of "last" meals, drinks, and snacks, but I don't want to make it an excuse to overeat.  My relationship with food is going to radically change.  It's got me thinking, how important are these things in my life and do I really want to experience it one more time?  Or maybe it's time to just let this stuff go? Almost nightly I read through the diet plan for the month or so after surgery and even further beyond, trying to understand it and how it will fit into my life  I can't use a straw because it will allow too much air in and cause pain.  No alcohol because even the smallest amount will be too much.  No soda or carbonated drinks, again because of the air.  No refined breads, pasta and crackers because they will swell in my...

Nourish, Comfort and Treat

I have no fucking idea.  Food used to be my go to item for everything;  boredom, depression, rewards, loneliness, comfort and treats.  Ice cream was my favorite cure all.  So now what do I do?  How can I nourish, comfort, and treat myself, if food isn't an option.  That has been plaguing me for the past two weeks.  So much so that I've started about 5 Blogs with that question, only to delete them every time. Well I am finally waving the white flag.  I don't know. There is no one thing.  And honestly I don't think it's something I can answer right now.  I don't feel like eating and when I do eat, I feel indigestion, discomfort and nausea.  There are lots of nice things I can do for myself, but none of them have the power, numbing ability and pleasure that food has brought me.  It's easy to not eat now.  I don't enjoy it and it makes me feel lousy.  Maybe I'm wrong and it could be I am not willing to dig deep and conf...
