Fargo Bound #MisfitCon
I’m headed to Fargo for the Misfit Conference 2014. It’s not a Chamber event, or a tourism event, or a marketing event. Although, it will benefit all of those activities. It is an opportunity to connect with like minded people. To talk about dreams and build working plans to enact those dreams. It’s a chance…

Sunday Update: Goals and Accountability
There is great news from last week — I got four intense workouts in! That was the goal, and the goal was made. Goal setting does a couple of things: Creates focus on where you are going. You can say “I’m going to work out.” There’s no call to action there. Workout means what? How…

Sunday Update: A Day Late
We had storms here yesterday. Big, bad ones with lots of rain. And … I left my power cord at my mom’s. So it was a double whammy for using the laptop. Good week last week — used My Fitness Pal each day and made the cut (under calories) all but one day. And that…
Sunday Update: One Week In
Made it through the week and kept my calories in check! Have NOT had a Diet Mountain Dew, took my vitamins every day, had a protein shake every day, had GC Control every day — and I’m a week in. What does that mean, one week in? For me – it means I committed to…
