Don’t you hate it when you’re in a rush in the morning. I dashed out the door feeling like I was forgetting something. I hate that! But, it was completely my fault because I chose not to make lunches the night before and I overslept on my alarm. The combination made for a frantic morning! Today was a Rest Day…

Pick a treat
I have a lot of things to do, but I would rather mess around. I need to get on task! This afternoon I had another snack of trail mix. When I got home I had random bites of leftovers when I decided to plate a meal. I had sweet potato “fries” and a big salad with hummus. After dinner I…

I Love Rotta Wine
***This post is from Friday – for some reason it never got published. I’m just posting this for tonight because I’m having computer problems – must be all that porn I’ve been looking at…*** I got home and did my new “30 minute wait” before eating and it totally worked. I bet the chocolate chip muffin helped keep me from…

Chev-ro-legs
I actually look forward to my walk home after work – courtesy of my “Chevrolegs” 🙂 Ben and I are still deciding whether or not we should get my car out here (it’s still in CA!). I can’t decide. I know I will really appreciate having it here in the winter, but I don’t know if I need it here???…

Anyways, reading the book slowly- as I actually go through the process, is very helpful. Part of what I read today talked about self talk and that this is a process. When you mess up – and…

Confession: I am an addict
I think it’s fairly obvious that I have a problem, but I thought I was hiding it from my family, friends and all of you – Apparently not. Ben sent me this link today. He figured it out… I can’t take it any more – the glazed look in your eyes, the constant need for new shoes… you’re an addict….

All Around Athlete
Sunday morning I did some strength training and lunges. I woke up Monday and today SORE! This tells me 2 things: 1. It is working 2. I need to do these moves more often Training for a race of anything length is taxing on your body, especially those big leg muscles you are using over and over in a repetitive…

Trust Exercise
This whole Intuitive Eating thing really is a trust exercise between you and you. This week I’m supposed to be working on Making Peace with Food. I made my list and plan on freeing myself from the stigma of “DO NOT EAT THIS” in my head. I don’t think that is the hard part. Right now the hard part is…
