Well, it's the start of week 5! Whoa, where did time go? I feel like the last 2 weeks went down the drain, but I'm back in the saddle again and ready to do this! I haven't written in a while and I'm hoping by writing that I will stop craving Oreos. I know that's the craziest things, but I'm about to get my period (Right there with you Amber) and I'm craving junk. I want Oreos and Milk so bad it isn't funny. We don't have any in the house, so I really don't have much to worry about, but I could eat the entire pantry right now! Thank the Lord for no oreos in the house! BUT we do have Girl Scout Cookies=( I bought them hoping to send them to the troops, but when they were delivered Maylea was home and I had forgotten she had picked out a box and so she opened all 3 boxes! I don't think a soldier would appreciate an opened, half-eaten box of cookies. So, they are here and I ate 5, but that was yesterday. I'm still craving today. Instead, I had 10 nut clusters hoping to curb my craving, but I'm still waiting. I try to remember I am in control of this (Thanks Sherri & Kelly) and I am bigger than the oreos, but oh my!
I've started the Monday morning class at PR and b/c it's earlier in the day I have forgotten that I have already exercised today. I feel I should do it again. Weird. Maybe if I meditate it will help the craving situation. All in all, I feel good. I feel better. I haven't exploded on my kids in a while and I feel more calm.
As Chris says:
"Be well" (I like it a lot)
Sunny,
ReplyDeleteYou are doing great! Hang in there! I don't think we ever lose the cravings....maybe you can just learn to crave better things! Don't explode!!!!

I completely understand what you're going through! Why do hormones have to affect us so much? You're really doing great though, and I am so impressed with you at the gym. I wish I could do double unders like you. :) That is a goal of mine!
ReplyDeleteI will say that I felt so much better after hearing everyone else's struggles with food yesterday morning. I'm also with you on feeling like I should have worked out again yesterday. Pat and I did do yoga last night after his workout, which was great! Keep up the good work!
