Lisa here.
As part of my renewed self-discovery, I am also starting my almost-40-bettter-than-ever weight management regimen. I have never really been overweight, but with age comes extra softness that needs some firming up. I really enjoy looking nice in my clothes, and after 3 kids, I need Spanx and more Spanx to pull sexy off in my little black dress.
I am trying Jorge Cruise's Belly Fat Cure. I am so new to this blogger-thingy so I do not yet know how to link to his page, book, etc. I'm finding it really helpful. He recommends cutting out sugar and eating better carbs (which is great for a carb-o-holic like myself!) Self deprivation diets never work for me. This works for me because there is no list of foods I cannot eat. I am just making better choices. I lost 6 pounds in the first week. 8 more to go. Let's see what happens this week.
Better me, better everybody!
Your BFF,
Lisa

PASSION!?!!??
Lisa Here.
There is much to be said for focus. Perseverance. Determination. And work ethic. But what is the value of any of these without PASSION?
After taking a 10 year time-out from professional life, I am unsure about myself and my passions. What do I like? What do I want to do? I have been so consumed with making sure my children's lives were enriched, I let my own interests wane. Can anyone relate?
What is your passion? How did you find it? And what are you doing about it?
Your BFF,
Lisa

Hello Friends
Hi Friends,
Lisa here. Since we are going to be Besties, you should know a few things about me. I am 37, mother of three, wife of one. In a past life, I was a corporate ladder-climber. I traded my briefcase for a diaper bag and I haven't seen either in more than 6 years. I am trying to find my mojo, my moxie, my that-thing-that-used-to- make-me-feel-like-the-baddest-chick-in-the-room, but alas, it has proven to be more difficult to recover than I could have ever imagined. I hope to connnect here with other women who, like me, may have been out-of-the-loop for a while or who may still be, but who know when we finally get cc'd on the get-a-life memo, watch-out world! I feel like Stella needing her groove back. Except not in a man way -- in a ME way! Feel free to chime in about your journey from briefcases to bibs and back and everywhere in betweeen. We're BFFs now -- we can talk about it all. :)
Now, your turn. What's up with you, Girl?
