Katie – awesome job! I find that with yoga your experience does change each practice. Glad you had a good one on Sunday!!

EatingRD- yeah, it’s those after dinner (or any time) sweets that get me every time!

Kelly – it’s so hard to get back on track after a great vacation. I hope you get into the healthier groove on things soon!! Let’s bake something healthy to help with that

I can relate because I have so been there as well. I think because of that I always feel for you when you comment on this kind of stuff. I can also relate because I am struggling as well. I managed to lose something like 20+ for a wedding and was in the best shape of my life, but then I gained it back and some. I was finally on track but I’ve been so off plan since Foodbuzz and struggling to get back to eating intuitively and sensibly. I constantly remind myself that it doesn’t matter what happened yesterday and if I am not perfect all the time, it’s all about the decisions I make in the future.

I’ll send you an e-mail. I would love to get together and bake, that would be so fun!

I love savory breakfasts every once in awhile, yum! awesome jump roping skills! I like to take a 30min jump rope class at the gym and it’s such a good workout, but I don’t think I could swing it around twice with one jump either.
Don’t get too down on yourself hun, we all have disappointing moments, but realize that it happened and pick back up because you eat so wonderfully anyways and are active Honestly the intuitive eating thing just ignores me and I keep eating if it’s in front of me. What ever is on my plate I like to eat, so I have to develop portion strategies (small plates, no seconds if I can help it, to-go boxes, individual snack bags, etc) in order for that to work. I also have a terrible time sometimes with sweet treats after dinner.
TJ’s truffle flatbread? Oh boy that sounds yummy. Hope you can de-stress. I sure wish our brains had an off switch sometimes

My yoga class Sunday was the best I have EVER done. I managed to do all the poses in the first 40 minutes w/o falling over! I was so proud of myself I was fit to burst.

Girlfriend I couldn’t jump rope probably normal so you ROOOCK!

I have been worrying a lot which is exhausting me since then I have nightmares at night.

Mellissa – wow, that’s awesome!!

Tanya – I tried watching some mindless tv yesterday. Sometimes just getting your mind off things (that are irrational and can’t have a clear solution) helps!

Innz – these things don’t take long to make! I won’t tell you what time I wake up because it varies, and I do have the benefit of basically no commute!

Jamie – the over-questioning definitely happened to me at the beginning but things got easier… I just started trusting myself and ate when and what (for the most part) wanted. As mentioned though, lately, I somehow got off track and got back to old habits of emotional eating, eating to nauseousness, etc. I need to change it asap!!! Thanks so much for your comment

Kerstin – Bringing lunch in is such second nature to me at this point, I actually find it weird to eat out. I also find that salads taste better during lunch than at night… plus they’re a great way to get lots of veggies in by mid-day!

Tra – niiiiice I wonder how much I could deadlift… I’ve done 50 pretty easily. 100 sounds scary but maybe I’d surprise myself too!

Sorry you’re a bit stressed, I hope you feel better soon! I’m a big savory breakfast fan, so your sandwich is making my mouth water! Great salad too, I need to start bringing salads in for lunch again.

Hi Elina,
I think I have only posted once or twice on here before but have been reading for a while now. I feel inclined to post today about Intuitive Eating because I can relate a lot to the frustrations you are talking about. Intuitive Eating is HARD work!! It feels so natural and so good sometimes but it also causes you to question yourself “am i really hungry?” “do i really want this” “am i overeating” “am i too full” “why do i want this” and sometimes it can drive ya crazy! At least that is my experience with it. Overtime I have come to quiet the questioning and just go with it without trying to be perfect. Its not a big deal if you eat past your “perfectly satisfied point” sometimes. And it’s not a big deal to not always know what you are craving. I have tried to just be more gentle with myself and just try to eat reaosonably healthy most the time and stop stressing. These are a few things that have worked for me and I just wanted to share that with you. I hope some of this helps but just know that you do a fantastic job at eating well and listening to your body– far better than most out there!

All the best,
Jamie
