Just Lookin'

Stefanie and I teamed up with Cindy this morning for the EAMC Celebrate Life! 5K. My best time! (not bad since we were treating it like a training run). For Christmas John got me a Garmin Forerunner 210. That’s a neat watch with a Garmin GPS that tracks distance and time.  I can upload my [...]

I’ve noticed that over the last year or 2 something that I might perceive as alarming keeps happening. We keep interviewing and hiring my children’s classmates. So far, in our department we have 3 employees who went to high school with my 2 older children – so when they drop by to chat, they often [...]

This week I’m back working in Paris again. I’ll post pictures later. Update: I’m finally getting around to posting the pictures from Paris. These are just the one’s from the day John Freund and I had lunch with Giovanna. She’s doing well – I’d like to have her come back and stay with us again.

So – does anybody read this stuff anyway? I’m still sticking pretty close to the Atkins eating and I’m down 30 lbs since I started. I still feel really much better than I did before I started on this way of life and I’ve noticed that I no longer seem to have the problems with [...]

OK – I’m not really evangelizing about Atkins, but, so far I’ve dropped about 25 lbs…. I’m down to the smallest clothes in the closet. Granted, I used to have smaller ones before the house burned and I got to start all over on my wardrobe. There have been a few hitches – times when [...]

I sometimes find myself wondering if I peering over the edge of becoming a diet evangelist. Heaven forbid! But, just as exploring the wonders of God’s love can turn one into a true evangelist, this low-carb eating and the results with respect to how I feel, how my body is responding in a positive and [...]

OK – so I’ve been at this for almost a month now… I realize that there are many benefits to this style of eating. I mean, even beyond the 10 lbs gone away in less than a month, or the fact that my jeans are considerably looser, and more comfortable, or even the fact that [...]

OK – so I’ve been following this Atkins diet for a week now. I’m down 6.5 lbs – that’s about 10% of what I’d like to loose (if you’re gonna dream, reach for the stars). Observations: I’m not hungry; I’m not craving any food – I’ve lived on salad, a few other veggies, meat, cheese [...]

My brother was the second person in a couple of weeks to get interested in Atkins – and he wants me to try it. Maybe this can work. You see, I suspect that I am a person for whom sugar should be classified a street drug. The theory is that perhaps I am addicted to [...]
