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!

Chicago- The Initiation

Hi Guys! I recently had my first work trip out to Chicago! Of course I did have some work things to do, but we did have a decent amount of time to explore and do some touristy things. Day 1 This trip I got to go out there with one of my teammates which was fun. We did some of things we felt you HAVE to do when you are in Chi Town.  Obviously the first thing we did after getting checked into our hotel was go find pizza! We went to Lou Malanati's and got these cute personal pizzas.  This was a butter crust filled with cheese, a layer of sausage and a layer of sauce! I'm partial to pizza from my area of the country (NY, NJ).  But for me you can't ever go wrong with extra carbs and cheese! After pizza we went to Cloud Gate, aka The Bean! I loved how the whole park was Chicago's version of Rockefeller Center.  There was an ice skating rink, and a big pine tree decorated with lights! Our last stop for the day was the top of the John Hancock building...

Hey internet, it's been a while.  Seems I blogged for the month October and only the month of October. Let me explain what happened... As you can see my posts were mainly about how I adopted iifym macro practice, and how well it was working for me. Honestly I had seen so much progress and success with this idea of eating for a while.  I thought I have finally gotten myself on a path I was happy and successful with. I thought I had finally beat the binging. Unfortunately that was not the case. In fact right when I stopped blogging is when my binging worked its way back to my life. Correlation? Yes.  How could one write positive messages and healthy eating support, when you are unhappy and can't even control your own eating?! For the months following October, I would eat and eat and eat until I felt sick.  I felt so sick sometimes I could have sworn I was going to die. Every morning I would wake up saying "yesterday was the last day."  So I would restrict al...

Date Weekend- New York City Edition

It's no secret in our household that NYC is our favorite place to be. Scott was raised there, and ever since I was young I have always loved it there.  Honestly it's where we talk about retiring to!  Strange right? So a few Friday's ago we got to drop the little man of the house off at grandma's, and we had a night out.  He saw Disney on ice, and we had a delicious dinner in Brooklyn! We decided to try out a restaurant called The Buttermilk Channel, and man it did NOT disappoint! Let's first start with the drink I had called the Lucha Vavoom, which was mezcal, tequila, honey, and lemon. Have you ever had an expensive drink that makes big promises and is basically a watered down alcoholic drink? Yeah... this was NOT that.  Off to a great start with that! We started our meal with a bacon appetizer.  House cured bacon with whiskey poached figs, and black garlic to be exact! It was between this and the cornbread...but we are bacon people.  ...
