I actually really like journaling and calorie counting...but I'm a math geek, so balancing the numbers is really fun for me :) If anything, once I started counting, I learned that I hadn't been eating nearly enough for all the exercise I was doing!! So that was really helpful. And having a plan for my meals is helpful too; it keeps me sane and organized, and I don't find it the least bit burdening. I think, though, that after doing it a while it's become so easy that I really don't have to think about it much, and more and more I am pretty much able to tell if I'm eating enough cals by the way I am feeling.

Sure, I always prefer to know the nutritionals....or know the ingredients of a dish I'm eating.....but listening to my body is so much more important. I tend to OVEREAT most of the time, and have too many times found myself uncomfortably stuffed. It's a part of intuitive eating that I'm working on. happy weekend Kelly! i hate counting calories! im so glad I don’t have that habit or stress in my life.
