Dinner
Had delicious vegetarian wraps tonight. So tasty! It can be so easy to make something savory, but still healthy if you are willing to think out of the box and be inventive with your meals!
Onto the gym in about an hour. I love late night gym sessions.

Anonymous asked: I've been eating a lot healthier than usual lately and I've found that I'm not hungry very often. I eat the 3 main meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner but other than that I feel too full to eat. Therefore, I'm eating under the healthy calorie limit by a couple of hundred calories. Do you suggest I just keep forcing myself to eat more so that I eat enough calories, or would it be...

Saved
‘When the world was desolate and dark, you were there; a hand on my hip, the other pressed firmly against the ever rapid beating of my heart. This hole had a depth of unimaginable grandiose; vast, complex, with no hand holds to steady myself and rise to the top. When I was drowning in the quicksand—my personal despair—you reached a hand to grasp my own, catching me from further...

Excited that Connor and I officially own our own home! I am also so proud of Dottie, she is so perfect for us. She stays in the yard without a leash now and will just lay next to me, attached at the hip as I work in the garden. Slowly designing an awesome landscape project for the back patio and planted in front yesterday and today. Grabbed some beautiful lilacs for a vase in the kitchen and...

New Trails, New Adventures
After about 2 hours of heavy lifting by myself (somehow slowly worked a few large, heavy dressers and cabinets up the stairs alone…), I decided to take Dottie for a walk, having been told there is a path down my street that leads to many areas of the city. The trail is pretty beautiful, following a river and through the woods around many of the suburbs. I am super excited to use it all the...

Music
You’ve got good taste! I am very similar in most cases. I tend to listen to Disturbed, NIN, Devin Townsend, Crystal Castles and Staind when lifting, where as I listen to more up beat tempos when running, stuff from DJ Hixxy, Sash!, VNV Nation, Feint, DJ Contacreast, and the Faunts.
And I could listen to Protomen pretty much with any work out. Love them so much, but that right there is...

Moving
Boxing up and moving things all day today, just Connor and I. Going to be a long, exhausting day. I suppose I shouldn’t complain, I am getting a good workout after all.

Why Solid-State Cardio Can Help You Gain Weight →
This was actually a really great article and these points are exactly why I try to do HIIT and weight lifting for most of my workouts. Nothing wrong with enjoying to run. I love it myself, but you definitely need to do more than just running in order to lose body fat.

Good Insoles/Runner's Support
I have always had some issues with my arches hurting after a run. Not sure if this is just my form being off, the amount of weight on my feet (I am still overweight and I have a small frame), or simply not enough support for my arches. I have tried various insoles in the past and very few seem to work well. The shoes I bought quite a while back were wonderful, the bed of the shoe was perfect...

Stressed
While my neck problems have not gotten significantly better, I have decided to tailor my workouts around my issue for the time being, because I am beginning to stress because I am not working out. Exercise has helped me overcome much of the difficulties I have been through these last few years and it is one of the best stress relievers, not to mention, it helps lessen depression and anxiety. So...

You are all so sweet! And I am trying to smile now and then in photos. Still getting over my self esteem issues when it comes to my smile. I was told for so long that I had pudgy cheeks and was made fun of quite a bit by my ex over having rolls and chubby cheeks when I smiled. Slow progress, but thank you for the compliments. <3
And the dress is from American Rag, got it at...

Life Sempitneral: Prepping for my 3rd Fast →
lifesempiternal:
Started prepping for my 3rd and longest juice fast as I transition back to being whole foods vegan. I began getting ready yesterday. I find, at least for myself, that it is much easier working into a fast by starting to eat fairly healthy, small meals in advance about a day or two. I know for…
For those who don’t know, I revampped my page a bit and added a link to...

Dinner
Went off my vegan eating for the day with some tasty beer battered cod over almond rice pilaf along with steamed water chestnuts, broccoli, carrots and snap peas. Have to eat up the rest of what is in the house, since we move into our place in a few days. Less to pack!
What did you have for dinner?

looks-so-lovely asked: Hi Danielle, my name is also Daniele (well, without one L). I just wanted you to know that you are such an inspiration. Not only because of your weight loss but also because you were in a abusive relationship and you were strong enough to get out of it and pick yourself up, move and change your life around. It must have been incredibly hard, but you did it. As a feminist I'm proud of you, as...

Setting new goals
I think it is about time I not only flesh out which goals I want to work on this year in terms of my health and fitness, but also add to the list. Having solid short and long terms goals is the key to success. Make sure you know your reason WHY you are trying to achieve these things and commit yourself.
So what are YOUR biggest goals for the summer?

Interesting day
Took Dottie for a nice 2 mile walk around the lake today and met one of the best Olympian triple jumpers in the world. The guy was super nice too, was asking about my camera and we got to talking about Sydney, since he went to the Sydney Olympics. Looked him up afterwards to confirm and it is the truth. He trains at Westerville North HS. We talked quite a bit about fitness and running as well...
