But, be that as it may, I still need to get some other things right with my life, before I can go back to blocking and charting my eating everyday. <br /><br />Tami, if she still struggles than maybe there is hope for me. Glad to see you around girl! I've missed catching up with you lately! :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526466324237785391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-23594716698782607362009-12-15T15:08:28.918-05:002009-12-15T15:08:28.918-05:00Good post Katie.

I think it was called "Getting A Grip" and it was about the same thing you were talking about: stress, emotional eating, etc. It was a well written book and kind of gave me hope that if a highly successful professional athlete with millions of dollars on the line struggles with the same issues, maybe I'm not so weak as I think I am.<br /><br />Keep up the good work girl, just do the best you can each day!Tamihttp://gotamigo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-57536080751551970052009-12-15T14:19:52.221-05:002009-12-15T14:19:52.221-05:00The past couple of months have been a bit of a str...The past couple of months have been a bit of a struggle for me foodwise. I've fallen back into the "order in" habit on most nights, and although I try to make the best choices, they aren't ideal. I don't have the second job, but with two elementary school aged children at home the evenings are spent in a variety of activities from reviewing/helping with homework to baths to making lunches to a whole bunch of other things. It's rare that I get any time to sit down before 10pm, and the idea of cooking at that time is quite unappealing. But I know I need to address it, or I'll fall further and further into bad habits.<br /><br />I'm just going to give you one thing to ponder:<br /><br />If nutrition is responsible for, let's say, 50-80% of your performance, doesn't it make sense to miss a Saturday workout once or twice per month and spend some time cooking several meals that could be divided up and frozen and used as needed? I hate missing workouts probably even more than you do. But it is possible that putting a bit of that time into food prep might actually serve you better than the day or two you get a workout done instead. Just...ready for it? <br /> <br /><br />Food for thought. <br /><br />I'm so damned witty I could scream!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
