The Fabulous 50's

So, with all my recent posts about Weight Watchers and Planet Fitness...you may be wondering...

I have had a weight issue my entire adult life.  I was overweight in college.  I was overweight when I got married.  I gained a ton of weight when I was pregnant.  In 2005 I had a very serious health issue, and afterwards I joined Weight Watchers and lost 70 pounds.  I was still far away from my goal weight, but I felt good.

Until I stopped following the plan.  And regained all of it back, and more.  If you read some of my blog posts from 2008-2009, you'll see me struggling with the weight issue.  All that hard work, and ...well, let's just call it a "learning experience".

Well, last winter, I had another health issue.  Seemed like everyone in my contacts list had the same first name: doctor.  And all of my new best friends told me the same thing: lose weight.
So, on March 15, 2015 I reactivated my Weight Watchers membership and bought a Fitbit.

Yes, today is my anniversary.  And yes, I've been successful.  Yesterday was my weigh-in day.  I have lost a total of 51 pounds!!!!!

I have another 15 pounds to go to get to the weight I was in 2008.  If I continue to lose a pound a week, I'll hit that goal sometime this summer.

People are starting to notice the weight loss.  My clothes are too big.  And most important, I feel so much better. 

This time around, I will get to goal.  And stay there.

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
