Sitting here at the Maine Mariners hockey game — 21st row.

Beside me? The team owner Dexter Paine, his wife, his mother, the team captain, and an Olympic bobsledder.

This is something I never could’ve done at 600 pounds.

Thanks to friends who know the owners, I landed these incredible seats — and I’m soaking in every second of it.

Because it’s not always about the big wins… sometimes the real victories are the small ones that remind you just how far you’ve come.

Mindset Reset 🧠🏒

Sometimes the best reset isn’t meditation or journaling — it’s just getting out of the damn house.

Tonight’s hockey night.
Here’s the funny thing — I wouldn’t watch a game on TV if my life depended on it… but being at the game? Whole different story.

The energy. The crowd. The noise. The shift in focus.
That’s the reset.

When your head’s spinning, stop trying to fix it inside four walls.
Change your environment — your mindset will follow.

🎭 Masquerade isn’t just about hiding behind a mask—it’s about choosing when to reveal yourself.

For years, I lived behind my own mask.
❌ No pictures.
❌ No videos.
❌ No public speaking.

I thought blending into the background was safer than being seen.

But tonight? Tonight, I’m at a masquerade party wearing a mask because I choose to, not because I have to.

That’s the real glow-up: not the weight loss, not the new clothes, not even the confidence to dance in public (okay, maybe a little of that) … it’s the freedom to choose who you are, how you show up, and when you take the mask off.

💡 The truth? You’ll never really find yourself if you’re too busy hiding yourself.

So here I am—unmasked when it matters, and masked tonight just for the fun of it.

You don’t have to eat plain chicken and broccoli to lose weight.

I’ve lost 373 pounds, and not once did I settle for bland food.I

n this high-protein chili, I packed it with flavor — onions, peppers, tomatoes, and a secret trio that takes it to the next level: a pinch of brown sugar, espresso powder, and cocoa powder.

Yes, you read that right — flavor and fat loss can go hand in hand.

Good memories can be some of the most compelling reasons we eat certain foods.

Some foods bring back such good memories that we might have a hard time saying no.

This is one of those foods for me.

I changed up just a few things to make it more calorie-conscious without changing the flavor whatsoever.

Campfire Beans are the bomb—comfort food with a lighter twist.

There’s nothing more comforting than your favorite childhood meals.

Sometimes we just need to recreate them to fit our calorie budgets now that we’ve grown
older,
taller,
wiser…
and maybe a little wider.

Tuna Noodle Casserole (or “Tuna Wiggle” as we called it) was—and still is—one of my top 5 meals.

But this recreation?
OMG. It takes it to a whole other level. 🤯

Absolutely delicious.
