Living in Arizona, I feel like allergy season is every season that it is not "the surface of the sun" hot. And for whatever reason (probably the massive amounts of rain we got this "winter") my allergies are so bad right now. Sinus, eyes, throat and even a horrible cough, is making me curse these "cooler" temperatures and wistfully awaiting the arrival of 100 degree days. They will be here soon enough.

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.
