Health and Happiness
Hi,
When I came back from long break on blogging, there has been alot happening. I’m going to share in an upcoming blog, so watch out for that. Some of it is about a health issue that is kind of putting a break on competing till I’m healed. In which the way I’m eating is structured and designed to help heal what is going on.
Soo when I am structured with my eating, such as during contest prep or like right now with no contest in mind but doing it for my health and happiness, there is ALWAYS these same thoughts that arrive..
“Why am I not structured like this all the time?”
“I feel more confident, higher energy levels, higher productivity, motivated, and social.”
“I feel content and not stuffed.”
“I realize more on the reasonings why I’d normally eat more than what’s on the structured plan because I’m bored and fills a void of boredom/loneliness(since living alone and single ect)”
“Even when there is meals I miss, I’m not really because I allow cheat meals 1-3x/week depending on goals, that is totally enough to keep it real and long-term.”
“Wow I have extra time due to no boredom eating or tiredness after meals. I’m able to get stuff done.”
“Another reason I’d overeat is because when meals are complex or eating certain foods can actually make you crave and hungrier for more. Eating simpler and finding out foods that satisfy by trial and error make’s a world difference on contentment and satisfaction after meals.”
Yes those are thoughts that occur almost every time I am structured with my eating. In which I honestly feel like I’m on the road to health and happiness and hope to help others feel this way too! Email me traineramandaw1@yahoo.com

Sounds great, Amanda. I sure miss you, and i hope you are well. What kind of injurey are you dealing with? I am in contest mode right now, and it is really hard to stay on track. I should probably take a break, but it seems like I get too heavy for me, when I do that. I need structure as well. Nikki is looking awesome! You should see her. I can’t believe how much muscle she has put on in such a short time. I wish it was that easy for me. Every bit of my muscle has come the hard way. I am going to Hawaii next monday and I will be gone for 6 days. I’m very excited to just relax and exercise without distractions. Too bad I won’t be eating desserts. It seems like a waste, but I have to look at the good in it. Like I get to go to Hawaii. Well take care little one!!! love you!!!
