Random picture from Alumni Weekend – didn’t even know it was being taken, but I weirdly like it.
Alumni Weekend was so amazing. I will report back in more detail later this week!
College Reunion
Tomorrow is my college’s alumni reunion weekend. Most of the people I will see, last saw me 40+ pounds ago. I’m both excited and anxious. I often forget how far I’ve come, but at the same time I wonder if people will even notice.
Horrifying Processed Food News
Saw this via twitter last night – It’s scary the lengths that companies will go to make their “food” look healthy.
@AP: Act naturally: Food companies work to make their processed offerings appear more like homemade meals: http://t.co/X7bngi7IBN
TLC
I’m getting a MUCH needed massage after work today!
Today is also my beloved supervisee’s first day back after maternity leave – she is truly my right hand and I’m so happy to have her back.
I hope I can begin to relax and my stress levels can lower.
every choice you make counts
wise words from yesterday’s sermon. it applies to ALL aspects of life and really got me thinking on a deeper level about life choices
Dr. Oz Recipes
I never do anything super fad or regimented but I leave Friday for a reunion weekend at my college and I want to look lean.
I’m feeling strong from Insanity, so I want to compliment it with even better nutrition. I’ve been doing the Dr Oz 3 day detox cleanse since Saturday since I was in recovery week of Insanity. I’ve already been doing breakfast smoothies so all smoothies/juices for 3 days hasn’t been bad plus I “forced” myself to finally buy almond butter, coconut oil and some other fancy things that I’m obsessed with already.
Since I move onto Month 2 of Insanity tonight, starting tomorrow I’m following Dr Oz’s 3+3=3 pounds of fat loss recipes. Eggs, bean burgers, sweet potato fries and 1 dinner smoothie for 3 days. YES please!
I’ve already been a green tean drinking fiend and peeing like whoa!
No Regrets
I read this in Elle magazine this week and it made me feel much better about the choices I’ve made in my 20s – especially as 30 will be here in August for me!

Team GRIND at Tough Mudder Gunstock Mountain
If you have a few minutes watch this video of a few phenomenal men and women that I went to college with. Tim Morris was in a near fatal car accident in 2007 leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. Tim has fought tooth and nail to take back control of this body. Tim and a bunch of guys I have the pleasure of knowing took on Tough Mudder 2 weeks ago and made a human ladder to get Tim up the wall. Amazing video – I just had to share it.
