Hi everyone! SparkPeople has been a lifesaver for me in terms of helping me stay accountable! If I know I need to enter everything I eat into SP I am FAR less likely to destroy a whole pint of ice cream or row of cookies!

Hi everyone! SparkPeople has been a lifesaver for me in terms of helping me stay accountable! If I know I need to enter everything I eat into SP I am FAR less likely to destroy a whole pint of ice cream or row of cookies!
Before joining SP I would eat pretty healthfully from Monday mornings - Friday afternoon and then it was like a switch was flipped; from the moment I got home from work on Friday through Sunday night I would binge eat to the extreme. I would feel gross all weekend and feel terrible on Monday! Mondays are hard enough without the added food hangover!
Now I eat very healthfully during the week (lots of fruits and veggies, whole grains, lean protein, healthy fats, minimally processed foods) and track all of my food. I start Saturdays off with a healthy breakfast (usually some oatmeal with canned pumpkin, a bit of maple syrup, and some chopped walnuts) and allow myself to "cheat" the rest of the day /evening. Sundays I get back on track, but am a little more lax than Monday - Friday.
I work out 5-6 days a week and constantly mix up my workouts so I don't get bored.
I am currently enrolled in the Health Coach Training Program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and will soon be starting a new career as a Certified Health Coach! I can't wait. Feel free to visit my website at www.holistic-wellness-coach.com.
