Tonight, I was thinking about how I used to blog so much more – a few times a day when I started on Tumblr, but even once I moved over to WordPress, still sometimes twice a day.
On Facebook, I saw that tomorrow is a former coworker’s birthday. She’s going to be 26, Facebook told me. How is she only 26, I thought? It was a few years ago that I worked with her. (Oh right, she was an intern.)
I was 26 when I started this blog. I’d just moved to New York, and I didn’t know a ton of people, didn’t have many hobbies and hadn’t yet assumed such a big commitment with Junior League. I wasn’t coming home and sitting on the couch with Bailey every night, but I wasn’t as busy as I am now. As I wrote a few years ago, it was the perfect time to lose weight. And also start a blog, apparently.
More to come on all of the below soon …
But after finishing a ginormous project today, I met up with Tina and Monica for a wine and cheese media event at the Columbus Circle Whole Foods. I keep telling them I hate wine, but they refuse to listen, so…
Dear Theodora: there is nothing about that angle that works for you.
Dear Green Dog: that angle always works for you.
After, I stopped at a Lyfe Kitchen media event my friend Steph invited me to. Lyfe is a company that’s launching as both a line of restaurants and food that will be available in a grocery store. Again, I’ll write more soon, but the premise is that it’s all healthy and low-sodium. Which you would think would be a recipe for no taste, but the taste of the frittata I had was actually really flavorful.
Anyway, that’s a taste of what I’ve been up to. What have you been up to lately?
No idea why I chose Frank Sinatra lyrics to name my last post on this…
As I mentioned in my last post, I've really been going through it with headaches.…
(tw for diet culture talk—mostly how it's BS, but how it's affected me, too) This…
I have been thinking about this post for a while—on why diet culture is unhealthy…
I woke up this morning already feeling anxious. (Yay!) My standard iPhone alarm is set…
I read The Midnight Library over the weekend, and I need to talk about it.…

I had just a taste (one glass) of wine tonight instead of just a bottle. Win?
@Laura: It's like I don't even know you.
@Theodora: don't worry, I had a "full taste" of wine tonight...
How is swimming going?
Yay for Junior League! What's your role in the organization?
Are you in the Junior League?? I'm on our Management Council, overseeing our PR/marketing/advocacy efforts.
@Theodora: Yes! (not in NYC, though) I'm the incoming co-chair of Events and Member Education.
I saw Lyfe kitchen at the Natura Products Expo West but I don't think I got to sample anything from them, I didn't realize they were going to be a restaurant as well!
How cool to meet up with other bloggers!! (I love Monica's blog!)
And, wine - I love wine!!
That brown stuff in the glass (Third Picture)....Good heavens, is it what I think it is ??
I think I just lost my weight loss determination. As for the wine...I would have not let a single drop go to waste.
By the way...are your images up on Pinterest ?
It's chocolate mousse!
I haven't really pinned my own images, but anything that other people have pinned is at pinterest.com/source/losingweightinthecity.com.
I think the same happened to me once I moved to WP... it's just so much easier... I was thinking to write a post about how easy it is to start your own blog in wp.. maybe you can edit it for me ;-)
There's nothing wrong with a little wine here and there. Many argue that a glass a day is good for overall health, longevity, and actually ones metabolism leading to a natural, faster daily calorie burn. And while I can't personally account for wine's effects because I'm a beer guy, I can speak through experience when I say that a beer or two a day (nothing extreme) does not impact one's ability to lose or manage their weight or overall fitness. Maybe I'm just an exception though. Don't know. What I do know is, for me, a little beer goes a long way. :)
