Proud achievements

Posted by: aviddiva on: October 29, 2008

Small post, just wanted to update.
Since Oct. 2nd, 2008 I have lost five pounds. I had one cup of soda in the last 26 days and that was enough to sour on the whole experience. How I miss Cokes, but I did say boycott. Other sodas do not taste the same, and [...]

The power of words

Posted by: aviddiva on: October 22, 2008

An interesting thing happened to me yesterday that elicits the words I used in my title. I went to dinner with some friends (we keep in touch through emails and facebook, and we see each other once a month) and one of this friends just came back from a cruise. She was upset [...]

Storm took a detour but I am exhausted

Posted by: aviddiva on: October 15, 2008

Ok, I’m not going to lie. I hate hurricanes. I don’t see it as an opportunity to reflect on life or anything. I see it as a pain in my side and yet another test to my ability to stay home without going absolutely crazy.

Three days later – I’m holding on out of fury

Posted by: aviddiva on: October 6, 2008

On Friday night I vowed not to drink my favorite soda out of sheer fury because of government corruption and businesses who thought they “owned the government”. I am happy to report that I did not have soda on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Except for a 15 minute episode last night, [...]

Political scandals and my weight loss goals collide

Posted by: aviddiva on: October 4, 2008

Yesterday, a PR senator was accused of taking bribes and changing legislation outcomes. He was charged with 31 federal charges. I have been following the story for a while, because this is one of our most colorful and controversial characters. He is also either loved or hated by the people of the [...]

What is eating me up?

Posted by: aviddiva on: October 2, 2008

As I commented a few weeks ago, I am having trouble sleeping. I don’t really know if it is too much on my plate or not enough. I don’t know if it is boredom, the economy, stress… what I know is that it is driving me nuts, and making it even harder to [...]
