Might be scarce this week
My posts are definitely going to be brief this week and I probably won’t be comment on others’ blogs b/c of the class I am taking. It’s an awesome class (about how putting yourself first is important to make you a better teacher) but I have homework every night. But I’m staying on plan. I got up at 5 this morning to get in a workout and brought my snacks during class. We went out to lunch and I ate a grilled chicken salad. It was the healthiest thing available at the restaurant but it had caesar dressing so I’m sure it had more calories than I wanted but it sure beat the enchiladas that everyone else was eating.
But I’m going to focus on the fact that I’m proud of me for sticking to my plan. On top of that, I’m proud that I didn’t make excuses as I ordered my salad, I just ordered it. Maybe people will think I’m a health nut!
You can only hope people WILL think you’re a health nut! Wow, now that’d be cool. “Oh look here comes that health nut…wish I could be more in control like her…(sigh)” LOL make no excuses and make it “all about me”, as I like to say!
I looked up ‘reverse eating’ and it is a bit like how I’m eating
as long as I don’t have any rules to follow except for “it’s gotta be good for me” then I won’t freak out. I’m happy you are staying on plan. It’s a good feeling isn’t it, a kind of high or uplifting I guess you’d say. Makes me wonder why it still is tempting at times to go to “the dark side”. Long as I think about how miserable I’ll feel after, it’s usually enough to keep me on course! Let’s call it the summer of healthy choices. 
great job on avoiding the enchiladas. i’m a cheese nut, so it would have been hard.
1200 calories is tough. definitely doesn’t leave room for any “extras.” i’m used to being able to get a handful of nuts or an extra string cheese, and i can factor it in. that may be a good thing though, because it’s forcing me to cut back on my grazing.
i hit 1320 today, and that’s the best i can ask for.
have fun with your class, and check in with us as often as you can!

Great job staying with your plan through training! When your routine changes it is so easy to get messed up, but you are ROCKIN it!
