One Small Change - February
Wow… it’s been almost a month since I started making greener changes in my life. January’s change, the e-bills, has been going well. I actually just got 2/3 bills in my e-mail over the past two days and both have been paid in full. No worrying about stamp, checks or envelopes. Just type in some numbers and you’re done. I highly recommend it.
On to February. Now, my...

Crud.
It’s been 5 weeks since I started the Maimonides diet and I think it may not be right for me. I’ve lost 6.5lbs in that time. I’m used to losing 2-4lbs a week. Now, I know you’re thinking I’m just giving up, but I realized something… I eat a bowl of fruit in the morning. Fruit is packed with vitamins. With my thyroid medication I can’t eat certain vitamins...

Mind Your Own
It always baffles me to hear people complaining about things they can’t change and things that, really, they have no business speaking about anyway. The one thing that comes to mind (though there are many others) and what spurred this little blog post here is Facebook. Whether you (claim to) hate it or you love it, Facebook has become a main source of communication for a lot of people. I...
Mini Steps
I’ve spoken about this on Hopefully Shrinking, but I wanted to reiterate it here since it applies in places other than health and weight-loss. When we take on too much too quickly we set ourselves up for failure. I remember when my family was first becoming religious our rabbi told us that we should think of mitzvos (commandments) as a bunch of balls. If we pick up only a few at a time...

One Small Change
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m going green. I happened to stumble upon this blog post. I thought it was a genius idea to do one new green thing a month until Earth Day — April 22nd of this year. So, that’s what I’ll be doing. I was going to start off by stealing the idea from the woman who wrote the previously mentioned blog post and use my ironing board as a...
Book List
Remember when you were in elementary school and they used to give you a summer reading list? I don’t think I ever read even one book. Now that I actually want to read books it’s hard to find time. But, I am a big fan of lists, so I’ve decided to share with you my ever-growing book list.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith
Losers - Matthue Roth

New Years Resolutions: Revamped
I’ve been reading a lot of blogs recently talking about their New Year’s resolutions. I posted my New Year’s resolutions back in September, shortly before Rosh Hashana. I’ve already finished 3/5 and another one I’m making great progress on. My leftover 5th resolution has kind of taken a back seat and some new resolutions have come into play. So, here’s a...
Project 365
I’ve decided to start up another site. This one will only be pictures. I got the idea from an awesome book that Corey got me for Hanukkah. Basically you just take one photo a day (or in my case take one of the photos I took each day) and post it with a little explanation of what the picture is and/or why it’s important to you. I plan on putting up pictures that I don’t post to...
