Good Morning!!!  I've been up since 4am...have no idea why!!! I might have to take a nap this afternoon.  At least that will keep me from eating...lol. I'm going to enjoy the day with family.  I love this time of year except for the fact there is food everywhere.  

Happy Saturday!

Some days just start bright and early, don't they ! Saturday morning is lap swimming at 7 AM for me, so I'm home and showered and ready to go ! After two consecutive days of off plan and unplanned eating, I was simply grateful to be below my red line. Goal is a range, not a number. This is my time to make peace with the temptations that are always there, and work that range.

Have a great day all !

Great perspective - working your range, not the number!!! I like!

Intuitive Eating? Let me know what you think. I think the first half is great and speaks to a lot of what we do to ourselves. The second part about eating is a little loosey goosey for me. (Though, I finally understand the end result they strive for.)

Sure!!!  I'll bet Devon could add to the side bar as well and anyone else interested in reading the book.  I've barely started but plan to read during my break.

How about sometime after Christmas, creating an Intuitive Eating topic anyone can chime in to at any point ?
