Leaving my comfort zone… one mile at a time.

Celebrate Good Times C'mon!!
That's right party people! Things are looking on the up and up since last week's post. YAY!!!
Today's weigh-in meant a lot to me. No it isn't the anniversary of getting to Onderland, hitting goal or becoming Lifetime. It is the one-year anniversary of recommitting to my health.
Read MoreI sound like a broken record.
I need to refocus. I need to track. I need to focus on the healthy foods. I need to remember that I am worth this journey. I need to remember that I am more than a number. I need to remember I cannot be there for my members/personal coaching clients unless I am there for myself. I need to need.
Read MoreI saw this shirt on a girl running along the Charles River the other day! I wanted to steal it from her... then I figured if I wanted one that badly I could always buy my own.
Why did I like it so much? Because I HATE when folks put others down for their workout choices. I support folks doing WHATEVER they enjoy during as exercise.
Read MoreI am wicked excited to be heading to San Diego tomorrow for the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego 5k and Marathon weekend! Aaaaaaahhhh!!!
Read MoreLast 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.
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 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 MoreThe weekend of a lifetime. Yes yes I know I've been saying that a lot recently. But seriously. I cannot believe these amazing adventures are a part of my life. A ridiculously amazing honor... and all because I took the first step five years ago to change my life.
So what did this weekend hold? Addition of 11 new folks into my family, laughs, lack of sleep and peanut M&Ms.
Read MoreNo I don't have a new job to celebrate. No I didn't weigh in a day early and see awesome results. No I didn't win the lottery thus being able to run all the races, drink all the beers and collect all the medals. No I didn't become a Run Disney ambassador (but that would kick ass). None of that.
Today I am celebrating some tiny yet major victories! Yes I am keeping that oxymoron there... deal! :P
Let's Do It!

But the gist of the challenge is easy:
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.
