Yesterday closed out the end of an era - the close of the 7th week of my reverse diet post-surgery. I've mentioned before that I started a reverse diet into maintenance as soon as the Cutler was finished, but my surgery was scheduled for 3.5 weeks into it. While I was on bed rest my… Continue reading Week in Review: The Final Week of the Reverse DietÂ
Today finishes my sixth week into my reverse diet since surgery. For those of you who are new around here, a reverse diet is the intentional increase in nutrition to your daily consumption.

My next session with my therapist is on Tuesday. I'm not sure if I'm going every week, but he knew that he didn't want to wait longer than two weeks between our first two sessions. Fine by me.

Everything was moved into the apartment last Saturday and since then the focus is unpacking slowly and making this new place feel like home. The second biggest difference… Continue reading A Week in Review, Week 4 of the Reverse Diet and a Boston Day Trip
I get asked all the time what I eat, how much, what are my macros. My response is usually "have you looked at my Instagram page? I post tons of food pictures!" My second response is "whatever fits my macros." My third answer is usually "I don't share my numbers because they're not going to… Continue reading Full Day of Eating: week 4 of the reverse diet
