This is clearly the worst case of sabotage I’ve ever seen. Okay, it’s not technically a shipwreck yet, but the Black Rock is under full sail while Jacob and the Man in Black sit on the beach of a mysterious island, under the shadow of a large statue, discussing the balance of light and dark,… Continue reading South Beach Update: Shipwrecked!

South Beach Update: Bathing Beauty
As some of you are aware, I started the new year by joining a “Biggest Loser” game with several friends from McGowen. We have been going strong for the past two months and although I’m not in the lead, I’m not far behind. Over the past few weeks, I have hit another plateau, this time… Continue reading South Beach Update: Bathing Beauty
New Year’s Re-Solutions
Well, it’s that time again. The calendar tells me it’s a brand-new year. And although I sit here, finding it nearly impossible to believe that another 365 days have come and gone, I know it’s true. Each year, January 1 finds me optimistic: a whole calendar year spread out before me, 365 days filled with… Continue reading New Year’s Re-Solutions
South Beach Update: New Swimsuit Edition
Yes, it’s true. Remember last year, when I had to go out and buy a new swimsuit on our trip to South Padre because all of my old ones were too big and I was – literally – “swimming” in them? Yes, that suit that I was so proud of…that suit that bared my midriff…yeah,… Continue reading South Beach Update: New Swimsuit Edition
South Beach Update: South Padre, to be exact
Well, we made it! And so, apparently, did the red tide. As soon as we opened the car doors after pulling into the parking lot at Marisol, it started. Coughing, choking, nearly gagging, we stumbled up to the apartment wondering what in tarnation was going on. Sure enough, a local informed us as we picked… Continue reading South Beach Update: South Padre, to be exact
South Beach Update: Basking on the Beach
Well, glory be. It finally happened. It’s taken a year, but it finally happened. I have hovered at the 28-lb. mark for so long, I was beginning to wonder if I was destined to live the rest of my life there. And I guess I would have been happy, knowing I can wear size 12… Continue reading South Beach Update: Basking on the Beach
South Beach Update: Running Hard on the Beach
So, maybe this uber-busy, super-stressed schedule is good for me after all. Sure, I may not have time to keep the house clean, and my kids may run out of clean underwear, and the dog may go days before I remember to feed him. (I’m kidding.) But I did drop another pound this week, bringing… Continue reading South Beach Update: Running Hard on the Beach
South Beach Update: Miracle on the Beach
Well, it finally happened. It’s taken nearly 10 months, but it’s finally happened. And I do believe there was an audible “THUNK” as my jaw hit the floor. I’ve finally matched my lowest recorded weight from last October. Yeah, baby. I’m back. And leaner than ever. Well, not really. But leaner than in a long… Continue reading South Beach Update: Miracle on the Beach
Cookin’ on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
Okay, this is hands-down one of the greatest meals I’ve had since we started South Beach. Totally yum-o. For Phase 1, leave off the buns…though that is truly one of the things that made this such a great meal. For Phase 2, we used sugar-free Nature’s Own Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns, and though it certainly… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
Cooking on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
For some strange reason, I enjoy fish for dinner in the summertime. Yes, I really said that. Don’t be too concerned, however, since I still don’t like lobster and you’ll never catch me smashing a crawfish out of its shell. But whatever the reason, I have found that I enjoy a light summer supper of… Continue reading Cooking on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
