I get e-mails from my coach telling me not to eat donuts and chocolate cake. I know if I do, I will pay the price... that's my motivation. She's mean!

I need a mean coach! Instead I have a sweet boyfriend who brings me Wendy's and chocolate bars...I don't think he has some hidden agenda, I think he just doesn't feel so guilty eating crap if he has company!
I have been pretty strict this week after eating crap all weekend and I feel great! if I can just stick on it and remember how sluggish and awful I feel when I am eating poorly...

When I get home I'll post all the food blogs I visit looking for new recipes etc.

I had a talk with the BF after we dated for a month or so explaining my diet goals etc. He was great about supporting me, even though he kept saying I was too skinny. As my race got closer he great at commenting about my diet if I slipped up some. Since I knew he didn't think I was fat (and actually wanted me with a few lbs more) his comments were great for keeping me on track. For instance he'd see a diet coke bottle in my kitchen and ask about it, or he'd see the kit kat bar and joke it must have been a long day etc. And he loved to go out to eat, but I finally said no, and started cooking tofu and stuff..he was fine with it and instead of asking if we were going out to eat and where, he'd ask if I needed anything from the grocery on his way over. Made a huge difference.

I found that committing to exercising means that I'll eat better. A lesson I learned the other day when I told someone I'd run with them in the evening and then had a healthy lunch instead of pizza and ice cream.

Stick with it, after a couple weeks you won't miss the bad stuff at all.

I read that one... I do not agree with some of it, but it is interesting and always makes me think.

Outside magazine this month has a nutrition special. Worth a read.

This is a link to my running club's site: a paper I wrote for a sports nutrition class last year (I post a lot of papers for them if it's training and or nutrition related)

Paper is called "what every athlete should know about eating."
