In my experience people tend to write about their successes most – of course they do, who wants to hear about their failures? I’ve been doing a whole lot of personal development/soul searching lately, reading a lot, and listening to motivational podcasts to and from work on my hour drive. During this time I’ve heardContinue reading “Turning point”

Something weird happened today…
“Something weird happened… I walked around stop and shop and had no desire to buy or eat anything that wasn’t a whole food or considered clean” This morning I had to substitute teach Body Pump at 6am for one of my friends so I had a banana on my way in (I’m really trying notContinue reading “Something weird happened today…”
Sweets everywhere😓
Today was the first day back to work after 4 days off – so you can imagine that I was less than excited to get back to my routine. Despite cookies and holiday goodies still making their way around the hospital (I work for a very high paced specialty animal hospital that seems to moonlightContinue reading “Sweets everywhere😓”
Food journal: the beginning
I mentioned this morning that I was starting a new plan. The plan consists of eating mostly vegetables and lean protein. I’m not counting calories or macros because in my experience doing these things tends to exacerbate my binge eating disorder. So, without further ado – here’s what I’ve eaten today. Woke up: around 7-7:30amContinue reading “Food journal: the beginning”

Getting stronger::New ink

I am starting to become a stronger rower, but I still find myself going out too hard to start and tapering off at the end. I do,Continue reading “Getting stronger::New ink”
24 Day Challenge: Day 18/19 & Pup update!
Day 18 started as a pretty standard day.. with less than 7 days left of the challenge, I’m feeling pretty good!

I found myself slipping a bit around mid dayContinue reading “24 Day Challenge: Day 18/19 & Pup update!”
24 Day Challenge: Day 11
Some days you may find that you’re more hungry than other days. All things considered (with my history of binge eating disorder) the fact that i’ve been pretty hunger-free the last 10 days or so is pretty impressive. I haven’t binged, and I even said NO to froyo, but today was the first day ofContinue reading “24 Day Challenge: Day 11”
