24 Day Challenge: Day 8
Today I woke up crying – what an odd way to start the day! I didn’t have the best sleep last night because of Miley, she was crying and barking and she had me up at 12 and 3am. At 6am I woke up in tears, missing Charlie, feeling alone. How sad!! I got upContinue reading “24 Day Challenge: Day 8”
1 week down, 2.5 more to go!
Week one is done and I’m officially down 4lbs! I didn’t re-measure because I want to do the official halfway measurements on day 11 after the cleanse is over! I gotta tell you I see the biggest difference in my midsection – my legs and butt always take a long time to change, and myContinue reading “1 week down, 2.5 more to go!”

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”
Help Me! Help Yourself!
Today I asked for help. I have a long laundry list of past attempts to get help that have gone terribly wrong but today I actually feel good about it. While perusing the Intuitive Eating (IE) website over the weekend I found a page that allowed you to find a nutritionist in your area andContinue reading “Help Me! Help Yourself!”
Enjoy your food…
The thing about this exploration of Intuitive eating, for me at least – is these little steps, these little inner thoughts that have me thinking about what I choose in a completely different way, has been one huge learning experience and it’s just beginning!
