you know that feeling?

a lottery ticket
before the numbers are picked

the wedding day
before you walk down the aisle

the job interview
before the questions are asked

all things are possible
at these moments
we are hopeful
we have a chance to win
we have a chance at happiness
we have a chance for the job
all things are positive
we believe we will win
we know we will be happy
we are sure we'll get the job

and harvest the feeling,
into unbridle...

a sign of the times

Thursday, June 5th 2008

i feel old now
every bone aches
every step i take seems labored
i look in the mirror
and see a vision
not of splendor
puffy eyes
swollen ankles
tight fitting clothes
a waist long gone
curvy, no longer
just a body
too big for

and the beat goes on

Friday, May 30th 2008

trying to lose weight. it's the struggle i have had my entire life. sometimes i feel like i am stuck in a revolving door. i can't get out and i don't get anywhere.

Weekends

Tuesday, May 20th 2008

Weekends are the toughest for us all. Usually that's when we tend to do our most socializing and the greatest damage to our weight loss efforts. My weekends are no exception.

This past weekend started out well and went downhill from there. As some of you know, my husband and I love to find new little restaurants. I constantly read restaurant reviews and "best of" listings always looking for some place new and different to try. On Friday evening, we ventured to the Bronx to ...
