I've evened out with the sugar cravings. They were intense for the first part of the week and then they just POOF! magically disappeared. Instead I don't really want to eat anything. :( So, having to keep track of positive foods has been good. It is like my taste buds are throwing a fit, "If you don't let me enjoy sweets then I'm not going to let you enjoy ---!" It is helping with the late night eating I used to do but I hope it isn't a permanent thing.
I did get some negative food points because I went out with Brian last night and ate some gross egg rolls. We just picked them up at the mall and it was a sad thing to waste good points on such poor food. I should have gone all out if I was going to give up my points... :)
My workouts are getting easier. I'm trying to just get the children out and walk in the evenings right before Brian comes home. Like Karen, I'm finding it easier if I have dinner going before I leave. If anyone wants to walk in the AM and be back before 7:30, I would love to get together a couple times a week. This week if I didn't get out, I did a Pilates video. It is one I had before having Joey that used to be really easy for me. Now, not so much...but I'm getting there. Maybe if this guy were my trainer I would be doing better.
I know what you mean about those gross egg rolls. They are all dry and crunchy, like they have been sitting around all day. I haven't had any negative points things yet, but I know how to use the neutral and neutral limited list to make some really great, high calorie things. I know how to beat the system. That's why I'm still keeping track of what I eat in a calorie app. I'm trying not to be too rigid but I do have a habit of overeating. Not enough to make me gain weight (unless it christmas vacation or something) but enough that I can't loose. I guess that's not overeating. It's actually just what my body is made to do, maintain my weight and give me energy. I think I might need to be eating more. My workouts the last three days have been really hard, to the point of me not enjoying it much. Usually I love a good workout but I feel kind of weak. This picture is so funny. I love the speedo and pose. I'm so glad your cravings are gone. Mine too. I hope you get your appetite back. Maybe it's your body mourning the loss of sweets so it's in a state of depression until it realizes there are so many more delicious things out there.
