Leaving my comfort zone… one mile at a time.
Leaving my comfort zone ... one mile at a time.
Last week kicked off with a 4.4 pound gain and some self-talk/motivation.
I actually did wear one of my Momentum Jewelry bracelets each day as a visual reminder of my goals for the week and it paid off. Seeing it on my arm kept me connected to Weight Watchers and what I wanted to accomplish.

Thursdays are the longest workdays of my week and the most emotional. It kind of goes hand-in-hand when you work in such a sensitive topic such as weight loss. I embrace it and understand it. That being said it doesn't make it any easier - for me. So I turn to you social media...
Read MoreHow does one sum up the Ragnar Relay experience? Can it be done in a word? Can it be done in a sentence? Can it even be done within a blog post or two?
i really don't think so. Or rather I don't think I can put into words how much this race changed me... for the better. But I am open to trying my best! Are you ready to take the journey with me?

Read More... freakin' out!
You'd think having done a few of these before the nerves would settle even a tad.
Well not at all!
Read MoreJust another weekend I didn't want to see end. I feel like a broken record on Mondays, but it is a blessing to have the experiences that make me dread a Monday. Right?
And the past few days didn't disappoint.
Read MoreEver want to wake up, roll out of bed and be at the Start Line of the race in a matter of 8 minutes?
I had the pleasure of doing that very thing this morning! My BFF Sarah, my Tedy's Team teammate and friend Page and I took part in the 19th Annual Herring Run 5k... which happened to take place at the end of my street.
Oh yeah you read that right. Talk about accessibility!
Read MoreI thought about hiding away from the scale. I feel like a broken record, but I have been struggling recently to find my mojo. I would really like to know where it is hiding. Have you seen it?
Clearly I have the activity part in check...
... but the food portion has been tough. Why? Because I have been a lazy emotional wreck when making choices. There is no one to blame but myself. I am the one bringing chips in the house under the guise that I can "have on serving." Well one serving is turning into 3 servings. But I say to myself "you are weighing and measuring it so that's okay." Ummmm no self. Just no.
So it is time to kick my own booty back into gear. Today is a fresh start.
Read MoreHow the heck is it Thursday? I ask that because in the middle of my Weight Watchers meeting this morning I loudly said something about it being Wednesday then the whole room corrected me. Later in the afternoon I asked for a dog washing appointment for my pup for tomorrow then corrected the girl when she said tomorrow was Friday. I said it would be Saturday.
Ummm can we still blame this confusion on Ragnar? I'm saying #VanBrain and going with it.
Since I feel all over the place this week, I figured Three Things Thursday should work the same way.
Let's Do This!
Read MoreDo you have one of those can't miss local races? I have a few, but one of the tops is definitely the M.O.Ms Run 5k on Mother's Day in Somerville.
The wife and I have run in this race every year since moving back to Boston from Chicago. Now I wanted to make sure 2015 would be no different.
Read MoreMy name is Dani and I am blogging out of the Boston Area. I started this blog in May of 2011 after suffering a back injury and subsequent back surgery in December 2011-January 2011. This space was to serve as a way for me to release the inner feelings I was carrying around and maybe help some other people going through similar situations: eating disorders, depression, weight loss and more.
