I think this is a wonderfully balanced approach to eating Joslyn.  Eating for health and to feel good is the way to go!  I like the plan you've suggested - I think I already eat this way, but I'll track for a few days and see how I go Smile

Hey Skinny Latte, that's awesome!  Being ridiculously strict is no fun, but exercising a little discipline, allows for a little fun too!!  Keep up the good work!!

Hi Betties! How lucky we are with this shiny new blog! I'm a trainer, sports therapist and fitness writer and manage to keep myself super busy with owning One Personal Training in the City of London, and blogging on my fitness site for women www.fitgirlabouttown.com. When I'm not barking at clients on the gym floor, or writing about healthy stuff, I like to keep my training varied with kettlebell lifting, running, weight training, the odd triathlon if I'm feeling frisky and yoga to keep me zen!  Always one to keep it holistic, I love educating on the benefits of eating right, and preventing excessive band-aid application with my healing sports therapy powers. Enjoy the ride Betties, we're excited!
