I have 6 miles on tap before work so I will definitely work off that drink in the morning.

My problem seems to be finding that middle ground. I rock a 1200 calories a day diet and struggle to eat a normal 2000.

I try to decide what foods are "worth" indulging in -- usually something homemade and not deep-fried! -- and skip the rest. Oh, and I bought cauliflower last week that is rotting in my fridge. :-P Cocohttp://got2run4me.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219009099196873493.post-65159300080834255332014-09-06T15:21:42.243-07:002014-09-06T15:21:42.243-07:00You know, Kari?

You have been a tremendous inspiration to me and helpful in telling myself, "if Kari can do it, why can't I?" So, here's a shout out to my favorite super woman. "I'm proud of you! You look great!" With that said, you may fight your prior habits to bring your body under control, but here's another thought: be careful that that "control" doesn't control your life. You aren't promised another birthday; have a half cupcake. You won't always have small children to dote on; eat only half a scone. There is always that point that I ask myself: am I controlling my diet or is my diet controlling me? I think some of the hardest things in life for us all is BALANCE. I don't think either eating birthday cake or having a scone OR denying youself both is a choice you HAVE to make. I have no right to talk as I have not lost all the weight I would like to; but that is my simple humble opinion. Good luck! And I'll be cheering you on!!! I'm in your fan club! :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09369804638055319543noreply@blogger.com
