Read MoreWhen I woke up Friday I was in a bad mental place. I opted to take a No-Weigh In for my weekly weigh-in and shifted my focus to recharging over the weekend.
For the first time in awhile we weren't traveling or racing so it was the perfect chance to dial back the "go go go" pace we've been on this summer and just be.
Read MoreFolks I am wicked sorry that I never filmed a Dani Dishes last week (or the week before). I kept wanting to and then time got away from me and everything went downhill quickly.

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 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.
