  • My body loves my rest days, but my mind hates them. Move your rest day to a different day if you really have to today, or maybe go for a walk, do some yoga or something?

  • My diary is open too. I'm actually shooting for a little more than 1500 right now, but most days still end up in that range.

  • I eat "cheat"-type foods when I want to, but I fit them into my calorie count for the day. I just eat much smaller portions than I used to.
