Grieving Period

As you've probably noticed, this week hasn't been great for blog writing. Turns out I'm taking the break up hard.. the breakup with my gym... and work is monopolizing most all of my time. I shall return on Monday at the latest with some profoundlings.

If you've got any encouraging words, now would be the time!  :)

Culinary RockStar Pt. 1

The day I started this blog Bangor Metro Magazine came to my house to do an article on my "famous" pancakes. The issue arrived to subscribers today. While I haven't seen the article in full color Nancy Luce scanned and sent it to me through Facebook. I feel like a pancake goddess!! This is probably one of the coolest things that has happened to me and it was one of the inspirations for deciding to embark on this journey to be my best self.  The article pictures me still with long hair and at my original 212lbs weight. I know I am going to keep this article forever and I think it marks an important day in my life. The last 43 days have had their ups and downs but this article reminds me how I felt on day 1. When I need a kick to keep me going I am going to reread this article and rekindle my spark.  When I get the spread in color I'll include the full article with the recipe for the pancakes. Not to brag but they seriously are the best pancakes I've ever had...

Teach a Girl to Zumba

I've learned something about myself in the past 2 weeks. I got skills... Mad booty shakin' dance skills. Alexis Wright could be seduced by the dancing that is Zumba.... Zumba really brings out the narcissism me. I think it is because I just look so damn cool doing it... I mean, I really can see how Hehehe Just kidding. I look like this when I dance... and for the record I do not condone prostitution of any kind. Just to be clear... I do LOVE to dance though. Regardless of what I look like I love it. And in Zumba it doesn't really matter if you look cool because everyone is looking at the instructor trying to figure out if you're doing the right move. This is kind of a critical aspect of Zumba for me. It is a "monkey see, monkey do" kind of workout so whatever the instructor does, you try to mimic it as best as you can. I have a few moves that I do really well. They mostly consist of turning in a circle. My feet are kind of slow and half the workout ...

You want me to lift WHAT off the floor?!

The last time I wrote a blog, Myspace was popular and Facebook wasn't open to anyone outside of a college email address. I know, I'm ancient. Since Myspace trained me as a blogger, I'm not quite privy to the rules... Should blogs be written at the same time every day? Even if this is a "rule" I'm breaking it because you can't time inspiration. Today is my first immediately post workout blog! Woohoo! As promised today started with interval running and followed up with a bowl of granola and some 30 day challenge workout research. I thought I'd try the 30 Day Ab Challenge from 30DayFitnessChallenges.com. A few points though. First, what the hell is the difference between a crunch and a sit-up? Apparently sit ups are the ones where you have to go all the way up lifting your lower back off the floor and crunches are the ones where your lower back can stay on the floor. To be clear, my lower back does not come off the floor. Really. I just tried it sim...
