This rule also applies outside the classroom. I know one of my strengths is that I am a really good planner and preparer. I generally do a really good job planning the weekly dinner menu and do a good amount of pre-cooking each week. But I don't always do a good job of planning my breakfasts and lunches. So this week I have decided to strengthen my area of strength and plan out all of my meals. I have a plan for all my food this week. I am going to really focus on calorie counting (something I was really good at last winter-spring but haven't done so well with lately). I am hoping by relying on this strength it will help me in other areas that I'm not as strong in. I am not very good of coming up with meal ideas on the spot. I am really good at finding ideas online and recreating them.
I'm hoping this week will be a time when I can get back on track. I have kind of gotten off course with my eating and I don't like the way I feel when I do that. My body feels so much better when I'm eating the best foods for me. Several years ago (like the cartoon says) I didn't fully comprehend that what I was eating mattered in how I looked and felt. Now I know how the two are so connected.
What areas of health and wellness are you really strong in? What areas do you have to compensate for?

Interesting topic, I like that you have realized your strength in this area.
I am pretty strong in goal setting, once I set my mind to getting something done, I am incredibly adamant about it happening.
I have to compensate for my stress eating. It is a constant effort to funnel my stress into a more positive medium.
I guess I would feel more guilt if I had been eating junk. BUT my tum tum did hurt! Husband did appoligize this morning, but man was I mad!
I would have to say that I am also good at planning my dinners, but kind of slack when it comes to breakfasts and lunches.I feel that it's a lot harder when it's for just 1 person. I hate wasting food so I eat whatever I make for lunch and then burn out real quick.
I'm also great at stress eating. Lately, I have been better about making better choices when I stress eat (minus the Dove chocolates that I polished off this weekend...). I just have to make sure I don't have bad choices around. I guess it's good that I'm too lazy to make a trip to the drive thru. Old Tyler would have had no shame!
eating right makes all the difference in the world. i try to count calories but also try to make sure i don't starve myself.
Your life has gotten a heck of a lot busier since you started back at school. It's only natural that you will feel the need to make adjustments!
I'm sure you will get the hang of things and be back on track in no time!
