ANGELA’S TRAINING
- Exercises about 4 or 5 times a week with classes
- Working with a team, going at her own pace
- Not high intensity interval
FOOD DIARY
- Angela has kept a diary, realized she was eating too few calories
- Started being obsessive and overanalyzing everything
- Should Angela keep a food diary?
- Vinnie is conflicted with the food diary
- For some people, it is success, for others, disaster
- Really depends whether the person can be okay and not obsess over it
- If you mindlessly eat, a food diary may be good
