Every superhero has a back story...

Ready for the big reveal?
Hello good citizens of earth. Or other places (Hello out there! Do you exist? I hope you do!).

 Anyway, I'm a 20-something living in Florida with my wonderful boyfriend (he's Superman in my opinion). I just graduated from a big university with a BA in English. Still trying to figure out where all those years of hard work will lead me... life is certainly an epic journey.

  I love stories in all forms of media - books, comics, television, movies, videos games, etc. For the past five or so years I've been attending comic book / pop culture conventions. My favorite convention I attend religiously is Dragon*Con. I enjoy letting my "geek flag" fly. 

Yep, Wonder Woman.
My intent for this blog is to track my success of going from plain old (this will be my alias for purposes of keeping my anonymity on this blog for now) Elle to Wonder Woman. 






Yes, that's right. Another weight loss / amazing transformation blog! While writing this post I am having a strong desire to post about other things as well, so it may be mixed with geeky pop culture postings. 

 I think I will end each blog with a quote from literature, comic books, movies, or something from pop culture (you get the idea, it could be from anything that I like) - so here we go!

“It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then… he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him.”–Batman

Up, Up, and Away!

Just got back home from our cardio/shredders (ate dinner too once we got home, etc.). Today I pushed myself harder than I ever have before. Normally for the first week Chris suggests doing 5 of the six minute shredders (I think I mentioned this in a post before, but a shredder for me is three minutes of walking, two minutes of walking faster, and one minute of jogging/running). Today we not only did that (and I wasn't all that out of breath like usual), but I surprised Superman by starting to run again two minutes after our last jog and then stopping. Then I further surprised him by running to this long flight of stairs and running up them (We also ran in the parking lot to the car, too. Probably not the safest idea in the world, but we really hauled it all the way to the car). Superman said that he has never seen so energetic before. That made me feel pretty good :) I think that maybe the extra energy may have had to do with today being a high carb day on the carb cycle. So toda...

Conventions and Trips

Sorry, haven't posted in a while. My recent trip to Atlanta for Dragon*Con had me a little off track. It was a great experience (especially since it was Superman's first time), so I don't regret getting a little off track. A little bit about that... We arrived in Atlanta on Wednesday night - ran into Richard Hatch at the Marriott bar - that was incredibly cool. Stayed until early Monday morning. Between those times we saw many panels... among them we saw Stan Lee, Adam West and Burt Ward, the actors from BSG, Warehouse 13, Firefly, Buffy/Angel, and Eureka. It was a great weekend. This was my fifth year that I attended and I don't think I've ever went to so many panels before except for maybe my first year which was 2008. I look forward to returning next year! On a side note, we stayed on the 8th floor of the Hilton and took the stairs up and down every time we went anywhere. My legs were killing me by Saturday afternoon.
