Culinary Rockstar: Part 2!!!!!

Read the whole article here!
The article is finally here! I feel like a little kid at Christmas! I even did a little running today! Up a hill and everything. I am so full of myself it is disgusting...  This really is one of the coolest opportunities I have ever had. And the best part about these pancakes is that they don't kill my progress. I love them and I hate to use any other mix now.

Want the secret though? You don't really need vanilla beans. Use extract if you'd rather and they are just as good.

Do the Day...

I just finished reading "Duma Key" by Stephen King in which one of the character's mantra is "Do the day and let the day do you." Yesterday I did not do the day or let the day do me and thus I ended up sabotaging a perfect day for an awesome walk. I don't know what gets into me sometimes but it really feels like there is a second person inside my head that is bound and determined to make me fail. This is the same voice that talks me into eating fried food, sitting on the couch instead of walking, getting mad at the dog for being too excited to see me, and sucking the life out of any good mood that exists in my house before I arrive. I am all about the self love but I do not love this side of me. I actually hate this side of me. It is the worse version of myself and I'd like to eradicate it for good but how does one go about doing that? I think we all have a demon like this that lives within our personalities and thrives on negativity. Some people that ...

The Weigh In

Today is day 31! I started out on day 1, weighing in at 212lbs. Today at my Dr. Appt I weighted in at 203.9lbs. Not quite 10lbs but I can still find some areas where sacrifice should be relatively easy. One bad habit that really needs some adjusting is what time I eat my last meal of the day. Sometimes we don't eat until 8p. That's not good for my goals and it's going to take some better planning to consistently eat at a time that is sensible. Now that I am on a roll and have built some good habits with this blog I want to mention a  couple of corrections. I said in one entry that every Monday I'll share a recipe. As it turns out, that's pretty hard. I have to be inspired to share a good recipe so instead I'll post a recipe when it is worth sharing. I also won't be doing a picture every week on Thursdays. I think I'll do a picture for every 10lbs that I lose. Once I'm at 202 I'll post another. In the next 31 days I hope to intensify my workou...

You are What you Eat... (insert inappropriate joke here)

I think that I've discussed a good balance of food and exercise in this blog so far because they are both essential to making this work. Having been in situations the last month that have prevented me from continuing my exercise routine I have had to make sure that I am being very careful about my food intake. Today I passed up a cupcake at work. Birthday celebrations are pretty common around the office and generally I am the kind of kid that eats cake if you put it in front of me. Having some serious will power is essential because there is no room for a cupcake when you can't work it off later. Tonight for a rainy day dinner I made homemade chicken soup. Carrots, celery, green onions, chicken and little potatoes in a broth I seasoned myself. It was healthy and delicious. Reducing my portion sizes has been the hardest part but having only small dinner plates really is helping. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of a hard core exercise routine but until my a...
