The last few days I've really had trouble with cravings; haven't given in, but they've been following me around everywhere. Oh, that's not quite true; I had a few salty brown rice crackers at work the night before last.
And the worst craving I've been having is for Diet Coke from McDonalds, the very same thing that I'm trying to give up. I'm beginning to think these odd cravings have something to do with the large doses of estrogen I was given last week, but who knows? It could be just your average-run-of-the-mill-unknown-reason-craving.
Whatever the reason, I'm being very good today. The sweetest thing I had was a strawberry-kiwi flavored protein shake which I mixed with watermelon and a bit of watermelon juice. I blended it at supper time, then put it in the fridge and waited for it to settle cuz it was super-frothy and that gives me a nasty bloated feeling.
Just finished it, and wow! was it ever good! But I'm not entirely sure that it has helped my sweet and salty craving, I'm thinking of the ice cream and the mini-cones that I've got for Kev. One of those would be so good right now. Yummy!
It doesn't help matters any that I've had a migraine since I woke up from naptime this afternoon.
Seems my body is really resisting these efforts at losing weight; its added two pounds since the estrogen incident last week Tuesday. I'm feeling much better and more energetic by far than a week ago, so tomorrow its back to our regular morning walk and my evening workout.
Yes, my social life is so stunted that I will be home on a Friday night. I'm sure I'm not the only one, right??
The body always reacts to lack that way. Bet if you were not trying to avoid them, they wouldn't look so good. Hang in there!
