#MiracleTreatDay

Today is Miracle Treat Day! I look forward to this every year. It is a staple of summer for me now. On Miracle Treat Day, Dairy Queen donates $1 from the sale of every Blizzard to the Children's Miracle Network.

On this weight loss blog I am advocating you go out for ice cream. I participated today and I want to thank Dairy Queen for helping sick kids and also for creating the Mini Blizzard! I got to have a treat, help some kids, and not completely blow out my progress today.

Thank you also to my super cool Intern Stephanie for organizing the order for everyone in out office. Everything in moderation is the name of the game.

I also went back to Anytime Fitness early this morning and I'm excited to say I think I'm going to feel sore tomorrow and no worries about my ankle. It took today like a champ! 

Tomorrow I am headed to the What's Next Conference with breakfast and snacks provided by Tim Hortons... I'm thinking that the whole day is a recipe for dietary disaster because I have to leave around 6:30am which means I'm going to be up by 5a to do a work out. Then after I pull that off every part of my being will be beaming and wanting a reward that clearly is going to be a FREE Tim Hortons Smorgasbord. Wish me luck!

A Good Man

I have come to learn from doing this blog that I don't do stress well. When I'm stressed I'm not myself and I'm pretty miserable to be around. Yesterday, with a research paper staring me down, I let myself get worked up and stress got the better of me. On my last day of a wonderful 3 day weekend, I was... well... a shrew. I don't think I'm alone though. I think we all have our moments that we look back on and feel a deep shame for being so absolutely ridiculous. Certainly sometimes it is warranted but, for me, when I get like that I'm usually being pretty absurd.... like "How come you're not reading my mind and just do what I think you should be doing?!" I should also note that I'm one of those people that when I'm all pissy I can't help but slam things around. Anything I touch, I touch with force. I'm not proud of that but I can't seem to help myself. Luckily for me, the love of my life has the patience of a saint. In m

If it Weren't for Those Meddling Carbs...

If I am not writing, I am probably busy eating something that would make Shaggy and Scooby jealous... Not writing makes it easier to ignore that I am not living up to a commitment that I've made to myself. Writing reminds me how often I have taught others how to treat me by how I treat myself. Writing exposes me to exactly how uncomfortable I am when I am vulnerable. Vulnerability is why I eat like cartoon characters and pretend I won't gain weight like a human being.  I am certain that I am not unique in this dance with vulnerability. The world is a briar patch full of thorny shit and long ago we humans learned how to armor up to protect ourselves from being stuck around every corner. When we are kids, fresh into this chronologically excursion through the pricklies, we are just trying to figure out the world, it doesn't take an immense amount of brains to realize that getting poked hurts, hurting sucks, and protecting yourself from getting poked means you will hurt less.

Weight Loss Myths

Daylight savings time has actually had a pretty positive effect on my workouts. My inner clock is still set to wake up happy between 6:30- 6:45a except the actual time now is 5:30-5:45a. I  don't feel groggy or like I'm missing out on any sleep AND it is light out earlier so I don't get intimidated by the darkness and use it as an excuse to go back to bed. When I wake up earlier I feel better about the workout. It makes me feel like I'm one of those fitness bad asses that actually enjoy waking up early to workout. I feel like I set myself up for more productivity when I've already been up and worked out before I get to work. The one downside is that the "fall back" happens in November when it gets super cold in the mornings. This morning I woke up and enjoyed all of the aforementioned things and then I stepped out onto the porch and felt how cold it was. I pushed through and did some running just to warm up! When I finished my walk I was chilled but comf
