My Heart Is Full

My Heart Is Full

Since my goal of the #OwnOctober project is to write every day, I am going to share a quick sentiment from my 36 hour trip to NYC. 

I am eternally grateful to social media for the people it has brought into my life.

Once Again I Will Ring In The New Year With A 5k!

Who doesn't want to kick off the New Year by freezing their booty off for a 5k?

No... is everyone not raising their hand right now?

Hmmm... looks like I am reading the crowd incorrectly. :P

Hello Strength Training

Hello Strength Training

Anyone that follows me on social media knows strength training is not my cup of tea! I get anxious thinking of going to the weight floor at the gym. I look at potential workout plans on Pinterest and I break out in hives.

I don't know what is at the core of my fear of weights, but it's there.

Transformation Tuesday: Food Edition

This isn't your typical Transformation Tuesday. It's not about my weight loss journey or my running adventures. 

This is a quick tale about a girl going outside of her comfort zone with food...

*RECAP* Prost to Cambridge 5k Oktoberfest 5k & Bier!!

Cambridge 5k's Oktoberfest 5k has zero luck when it comes to weather. In four of the five times I have taken part in the race it has rained... yes today was #4! We somehow got away with a rain-free race in 2015. I guess that was just a fluke. ;)

#OwnOctober: One Day At A Time

#OwnOctober: One Day At A Time

Setting goals or challenges for a new month aren't my strong suit. Usually one event comes up thwarting even a portion of one and I abandon everything!! 

But this month I am going to set one challenge for myself. I'm setting it as something both attainable and helpful to re-finding "me."

Face It Friday: Setting Myself Free

Face It Friday: Setting Myself Free

It's no joke I've been hiding.

I shared that in a post yesterday.

So in my hiding I also steered clear of the scale. Ignorance is NOT bliss my friends. I kept telling myself to face what is going on. It would help snap me out of the funk.

But I didn't listen.

Weight Off My Shoulders

My 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.
