Kira,
ReplyDeleteJust finished listening to this podcast and it is so, so good. Thank you! I am downloading the worksheets now.
I'm an athlete, but have gotten lax with my nutrition. I am at the gym or outside running 10-12 hours a week, which keeps me pretty darn hungry. I need to remember to make better food (and drink) choices. Thanks again for this wonderful resource!
