What I (didn’t) Eat Wednesday
72April 17, 2013 by Katie
Happy Wednesday! Today’s WIAW has to do with the Intuitive Eating Challenge that I’m doing with Jamie and several other participants. Our challenge on Tuesday was to stop eating when we’re full. Sounds simple, right? Well for most of us in the challenge this is totally foreign. I mean, I make my bowl of oat bran and I eat my whole bowl. I don’t think: “Geez (yes, geez) I think I’m full now so I’ll stop eating and toss the rest out.”
Anyone with me here? I mean yea, if you’re at a restaurant and your meal is huge, of course you stop eating when you’re full. But for me to make myself a normal portioned meal but not eat it all is just unheard of. Many of us discussed this in our facebook group and a common theme was a fear of being hungry later. I know personally I used to have my set meals and snacks at set times. If I got hungry in between, then too bad. So a lot of my finishing my plate mentality came from a fear of being hungry before I should. If I ate my whole meal then I shouldn’t get hungry.
Now I realize that’s just silly. Eating intuitively means …

WIAW–Intuitive Style
61April 10, 2013 by Katie
I have to admit, I was pretty resistant to sharing a day this week on my WIAW post. A lot of intuitive eating is trial and error for me, and despite updating you all on my progress, I consider it a pretty personal journey. Over the past week and a half many of my days have had really weird eating habits. Part of what we do is think about what we’re craving and then based on that decide what to eat. Well, I never really know what I’m craving, or I want a whole bunch of different things. Because of that, my meals turn into a bizarre montage of little snacks rather than a coherent meal.
I don’t know why it feels so personal, but a big part of me didn’t want to let everyone in on what I’ve been eating. Ha, maybe I’m just feeling moody right now. However, I decided yesterday that I would focus a lot of making meals, sitting down to eat them, and stopping when full, so I thought that using it as my WIAW post would force me to be better about that, and keep me from snacking out of the fridge. So here we go!

WIAW–Getting Sick…
64April 3, 2013 by Katie
Can I get a wahoo for Wednesday?! Halfway through the week! I’m pretty excited about it, despite the fact that I have a make-up class today, which means I will be spending 170 minutes of my day in First Amendment Law… hmmm. But that’s okay, already working on my goals and using those positive affirmations!
Haha.
So seeing as it’s Wednesday, it’s time for another edition of What I Ate Wednesday! If you are new to WIAW, head on over to Peas and Crayons to see what it’s all about!
Soooo the sick thing? Well, Saturday night I suddenly got a really sore throat. I thought maybe it was from my run that morning, or from sleeping with the windows open the night before (allergies?), but when I woke up Sunday with a horrible sore throat. Obviously I went straight to the internet and diagnosed myself with…

WIAW–Rainy Sunday
77March 13, 2013 by Katie
Hey everyone! I hope you’re all having a good week! I’m in countdown mode – only two days left until I’m on Spring Break!!! I don’t want to rub it in since I know most of you aren’t students, but it’s my last one ever so I’ve got to enjoy it!
This week’s What I Ate Wednesday Post includes all my food from Sunday, which was a pretty dreary, rainy day here in Chicago. If you’re new to WIAW, head over to Peas and Crayons to read what it’s all about and to see the other participating bloggers!
My morning started off with my newest obsession: Oat Bran. Love. It’s got a great texture and it cooks SO QUICKLY! I made oat bran with some vanilla and stevia and paired it with a strawberry chobani and some almond butter. Coffee on the side, of course.
After getting a little reading done, I did Jillian Michael’s 6 week 6 pack level 1, and then some lower body strength training with a resistance band. I didn’t add in any…
