I recently sat in on a talk about flexible macro counting by the Lululemon Scottsdale Quarter ambassador, Kacey Luvi ; avid cross fitter, busy mom and fellow blogger (if you are interested in macro counting click on her name above and she gives a pretty good explanation and how to on her blog). She reminded me of the need to be consuming enough calories to fuel your body. As a woman, I believe our society rewards us for eating "like birds" and as we integrate that habit into our daily lives, the desire to cut calories in order to lose weight becomes second nature to us. Personally, I can find myself falling into the same trap often. Kacey talks about "reverse dieting" on her blog as well.

Hey guys! Do you ever feel like you just can't get it together? Yeah, I am definitely having one of those weeks. My back brace finally came off last week, and the doc told me to slowly get back at my normal activities, which I obviously translated to "do all the things". I'm learning the difference between uncomfortable and stop doing that, sometimes backing off a bit is required so that you can progress deeper into life. With 2 back surgeries within 9 months, I am developing my new normal. *sigh* Meanwhile, in my kitchen, I am excited to finally be able to share this recipe with you. My husband is not an adventurous eater; if he can't identify it, hasn't eaten it before, he is very hesitant to step out of his food box. I am the exact opposite; I will literally try just about anything and with a few exceptions, I like every thing I try. Indian food has always been a favorite, but not something the hubby has been willing to try.
