Get it written down!

As many of you know, I cannot say enough positive things about food logging.  So I am going to encourage all of you to get out a notebook and WRITE IT DOWN!

Tanee, one of the other bloggers I follow is sponsoring a 100 day food logging challenge.
Here's the link! Get on board!

For me I hate writing down the bad things that I have eaten through out the day, but at the same time it helps me eliminate a lot of CRAP from my diet.

A lot of people have been asking my mom and I how I have done it and what I have really eliminated.  These four things are exactly what I try to avoid, but guess what?  I am human.  I cave and I make mistakes.   This first week back at school has been tough, but hey, I am surviving. And there is always next week to be better. There is no single formula for losing weight because we are all different.  I know for my parents they cut carbs and lost a ton of weight, but for me that just didn't work well.  This "moderation" style diet is the best option for me because I never short myself on food and I can eat almost anything, just in smaller portions.  But understand that what works for one person might not be best for you, so be willing to be flexible and take the extra time to find a program that works for you!

Another thing I wanted to address is illness.  Of course, I got sick on Tuesday, the day I was coming back to school.  I should expect it working in a class full of kindergartners, but it always surprises me when I get sick.  Sickness is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong and you need to listen to it.  As much as it kills me to say this my runs have been short and sweet this week, but I have added some extra yoga and toning to compensate.  Don't run your body down even more by killing it with super intense workouts.  Listen to what it is telling you and respond with healthy diet, lots of sleep and water, and good workouts.  Stay healthy and active while helping your body.

Until tomorrow :)
