I have been writing a post about my weight loss journey its been ever evolving and continues to as my training and goals change. I had put on a few pounds for marathon training. I shed them mostly now by not eating everything in sight, but I am now on a mission to eat intuitively and just view food as fuel. Not let emotion into my eating. I genuinely think about each thing I consume...no tracking just being conscious. And you know if abs are the end game I am all in for summer ;-)Gianna https://www.blogger.com/profile/09499890015030927758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495472091669524208.post-21793782282335371022013-03-08T11:38:43.187-05:002013-03-08T11:38:43.187-05:00I definitely struggle with being at my happy weigh...I definitely struggle with being at my happy weight. I've noticed that my weight has creeped north of my happy weight in the past month, which I attribute to a lot of stress eating. Something to work on for sure.Maureenhttp://www.runningoncabernet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495472091669524208.post-74388576255245295952013-03-08T08:52:23.835-05:002013-03-08T08:52:23.835-05:00I'm a few pounds above my happy weight right n...I'm a few pounds above my happy weight right now, too, and I hate it. I refuse to diet during training because it's just impossible to balance the two, but I definitely need to get my act together to focus on the types of mental exercises you mentioned.

As triathlon...Thanks for such an honest post, Jen. As triathlon training has picked up (and with my first race of the season quickly approaching!), I've been making an effort to eat more consciously: am I really hungry, or do I want to snack because I'm bored/tired/etc.? For me, saying a certain food is off limits will only make me want it more, so I've been telling myself I can eat whatever I want--but is that chocolate bunny on the freebie table at work (yes, there was one!) going to help me swim, bike, and run faster? Usually the answer is no, so I move beyond the craving, but sometimes I'll eat the food in question. It's all about moderation!Carrie @ Fitness and Frozen Grapeshttp://fitnessandfrozengrapes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495472091669524208.post-46643923434858807732013-03-08T07:00:20.623-05:002013-03-08T07:00:20.623-05:00i have a happy weight and I'm still not at tha...i have a happy weight and I'm still not at that weight, but I'm happy with the fact I lost 30 pounds on my own. Lately I've stopped counting everything I'm eating and instead have been focusing on portion sizes and what is fueling my body correctly for my workouts.
