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!  :)

#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 ...

Dark Places

I've found another book that I am completely infatuated with. Since I read "Joyland" by Stephen King, I haven't been able to find a story that has engulfed me until I heard Gillian Flynn on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me." I'd heard of her new book "Gone Girl" and all the buzz was good but it didn't catch my attention until I heard the interview. The joke on the show was that she was such a convincing storyteller of really dark, gruesome stories but was so fun and nice in person. This is how many people would describe Stephen King. I think that is what makes him a really compelling writer so I thought I would give Flynn's work a try. I had been in a drought of stories that just didn't capture me, after all. Instead of beginning with her most recent novel I went for an older story called "Dark Places." It's the story of a girl who's Mother and two sisters were murdered when she was 7, supposedly by her older br...

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...
