The fourth principle of Intuitive Eating is Challenge the Food Police. Scream a loud “NO” to thoughts in your head that declare you’re “good” for eating under 1000 calories or “bad” because you ate a piece of chocolate cake. The Food Police monitor the unreasonable rules that dieting has created. The police station is housed deep in your psyche, and…

Sloppy Seconds
I had leftovers for dinner – I like them, but I thought Sloppy Seconds was a more fun title 🙂 Leftovers are so great – you don’t have to cook, but you still get all the deliciousness of a home cooked meal. I had the Peanut Noodles from the other night – those are chickpeas (the first time I made…

RUSH!!!
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!

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???…

Distance vs. Time
After Caitlin asked about “What is a long run?” it got me thinking. I have always thought of runs in terms of distance, but over time my running has gotten a little faster (don’t get all crazy, not much) so I am running the same distance, but less time. I used to run 6 miles on my treadmill 5 days…

Walking and reading
I’ve been bringing reading material along for my walk home from work. Today I was reading Intuitive Eating, I know I’m super predictable. 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…
