As I continue on my journey to recovery I find myself having many less binge episodes. In fact, I have been able to focus on training for the Spartan sprint in May and have had very little urge to binge. I’ve been following a macro based plan, pretty well – but not 100% – whichContinue reading “Spartan training update: ED recovery & Spark”

QUALITY & QUANTITY: you can actually eat more!
One thing I’ve learned in my almost two weeks of “counting” macros and really concentrating on my training has been how the quality of my nutrition can make not only what you eat more enjoyable but how MUCH you eat can increase as well. Let me put it to you this way: 1680 calories canContinue reading “QUALITY & QUANTITY: you can actually eat more!”
Flexible vs IIFYM vs Intuitive Eating: the search for food freedom
If you’ve been following me from the beginning of this journey you know that I’ve been working on intuitive eating and learning to listen to my body and its own cues. I’ve been reading a lot of books to learn the most about different ways of eating that are not “diets” and that fit intoContinue reading “Flexible vs IIFYM vs Intuitive Eating: the search for food freedom”
All-or-Nothing or somewhere in-between
As I get older I realize how important it is to stay up to date and do your own research. I’ve always been an all or nothing kind of girl – with everything, but I’m starting to learn that sometimes it’s better to do your homework before jumping with both feet in. I tend toContinue reading “All-or-Nothing or somewhere in-between”
Curiosity killed the cat
i woke up this morning curious of my weight. After a few weeks exploring intuitive eating, with good and bad days throughout – successfully keeping binging down to the minimum – even stopping binges mid-binge (which is quite hard) I was curious. That curiosity left me at the scale, with a frown. 160.5. What?! HowContinue reading “Curiosity killed the cat”

31 days of clean foods: day 20
Woke up and weighed in – it’s been about a week and a half so I figured I’d check on my progress. Up 3lbs…. I think that goes to show you a diet soley based on trail mix and quest bars is probably not the “ideal” so I will be better this week. I knowContinue reading “31 days of clean foods: day 20”
31 Days of clean foods: day 18
Day 18 was like any other, woke up at 5am and headed to the gym for Body Pump. About 10 minutes prior to pump I consumed a small apple, 2 eggs, and 1 slice of Ezekiel toast. I felt good during pump, I had energy and really felt strong. After class I headed home toContinue reading “31 Days of clean foods: day 18”
31 Days of Clean Foods: Day 16&17
14 days left. Yup, 2 weeks – but I feel like I don’t want to eat junk anymore – I have no cravings, although being so restrictive has it’s downfalls – in today’s world it is possible, but it’s not easy to eat whole all the time. Maybe it’s because I’m still new, only 17Continue reading “31 Days of Clean Foods: Day 16&17”
