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...

I was on the Cape - gorgeous! I was in a van with 5 strangers turned family - check!
More specifically I was snuggled up with my pillow and blanket soundly sleeping on the top of a wicked soft plastic belt buckle digging into my body. Yes I have a bruise from it. #VanLiving ;)
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?

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.
