Coach meeting #3, strength #3

STRENGTH as coach specified. Slowly increasing reps and weights.
ELLIPTICAL 20 mins

I'm supposed to be closer to 5th or 6th session, not just the 3rd! But life!

Summary of yesterday's meeting:
I happily resisted all the coffee creamers and other potential travel foods, and stuck to plan with the exception of Saturday when I munched too much. My gut symptoms are zero, my anxiety is much improved, and my joints feel better (ankle and even the jaw). He reminded me that insulin can be inflammatory, and can cause anxiety, but I'd like to research that more. 

I'm not seeing weight changes yet (fluctuating between 134 and 136) but he's not worried about that. He suggests dropping a bit more to 1250 (I'm 16 16 14 13.5 13.5 14.5 13 this past week) (dropping the fruit got me out of the 16 range) to see what happens.

Eating tomatoes as a "fruit" or a "sweet" is OK if it fits the macros. 

He's focusing on performance, planning, feelings and anxiety over weight. We didn't talk much about the running, except that I reported feeling great after yesterday's fasted 8 miler and IF until noon. 

I asked what to do if I'm not hungry? It's OK to skip the occasional meal, certainly don't eat just because you planned to, and you don't have to eat what you planned just because you planned to.
