Allow me to introduce myself...

Hello blogging world!

My name is Dana and this blogging thing is not my specialty.  But I'm hoping to make it my specialty! Even if I'm the only one who cares about it.  Ha ha ha...ha.......ha..

So anyway I have been debating blogging for a while now, and what better time to decide to start than on a rainy rainy night you should be studying anatomy! Procrastination at it's finest.

I will try to make this short. Hmmm maybe I will do bullet form! :D




^^ That's me!!

  • I am 25 years old.  Sometimes I think that's young.  And some days I just feel like I'm getting so old!
  • I love donuts...in case the name didn't give that away.  
  • There is also a chance that I am deeply addicted to peanut butter. 
  • But also I love snacks.  So much so I actually buy snacks and hide them so no one else can have them before me...or in general.  (Selfish..I know.  But what can I say!) I like to call this snack hoarding.  Whether that's good or bad, I don't know.
  • Since about March, I have lost roughly 30 pounds. (That's a pound a week folks!) But I'm definitely not stopping. 
  • Weight lifting is my stress free zone.  
  • Cardio is my hell. But I get it done.
  • I love to cook and make treats...but most days my schedule doesn't really allow for that.
  • I practice flexible dieting, so yes I track my macros. In probably the next post I will explain how I got to this.
  • I currently work two jobs.  One in retail, and one in assisted living.  Both are not where I plan to end up in the future.
  • I plan to end up working as a radiology tech.  
  • Currently I am in school working towards that career goal
So that'ts just the basics there.  I'm a very involved lady.  But hey, we'll get there.


Now I'm sure this is just another doughnut loving, weightlifting blog and I get that. But I'm hoping to share my experiences, and my struggles (because realistically there are a lot of those). I want to be a progress blog, not an end result blog.

My biggest plan right now is to show all of the (little) prep that goes into my meals.  I'm a busy gal, and I know most people are.  But I manage to make it work and to fit my macros daily.  :) Let me just prove you can get it done, all while working two jobs, going to school, and having like maybe a very small social life!

A Condo Closet Paradise

Recently we were woken up by what seemed like life just throwing annoying house issues at us. The closet "system", which was really just a long pole stuck into the two ends of the room came crashing down one morning!  I had been saying this was going to happen for days, but it finally happened.  All of our clothes, boxes, and random junk we kept in the closet now sprawled all over the floor. WHAT A WAY TO WAKE UP...am I right?!  See, with me recently moving in with Scott (my boyfriend of 4 years 😋), came a lot more stuff that the closet wasn't equipped to handle apparently! I was "slowly" moving bags of clothes and hanging them up without Scott knowing. (I did it when he wasn't home... shhh....).  But because the closet was being used by a man who has far less clothes, and really only likes maybe 4 t-shirts it became very noticeable it was an issue. But we just continued living hoping for the best.   Now to be completely honest, this closet need

Operation Brunch- Theme: FALL!

Good Morning! Fall is in the air, and I couldn't be more thrilled! I know that many people would agree that fall is one of the best times during the year.  The crisp air, and the changing colors just really make me happiest. This year is the first year I have a place of my own to decorate, so I am extra excited.  I had pumpkins in our house the first day it was even a little bit chilly! So since I now have a house to host things in, its becoming my favorite season, AND I've been able to decorate for fall, I felt it was appropriate to host a fall themed brunch with my 3 oldest and closest friends! With us all living in different directions and having separate lives it's been a WHILE since the four of us got together.  I'm so happy they all made it out here this weekend.  It was a lovely day of laughing, drinking mimosas and casually annoying Scott while he tried to watch football.  I'm also glad that I now have the opportunity to host casual events with my fr

On to the Next! -- I got a promotion!

Good morning. Happy Fridayyyy ! Today is the most bittersweet day for my career. It is my last day working with the team I've been with since day one at my current company (though this is the first company I started working for once out of college). Now I'm not leaving the company I work for, but I recently got promoted to a different department. This means I move up a floor, and will really only see my current coworkers in passing! I am EXTREMELY excited to start this new chapter in my life.  This is a position I have been wanting, and felt was the right next move for my career.  But I think it's difficult to let go of things you are comfortable with, and it's especially hard when you love all your coworkers! It's not just my team I will miss either! My current boss is really the reason I have gained the momentum I have in the working world. He has always been dedicated to my growth, and has been someone to help guide me through life.  I could easily thank
