How to deal???
Well, ladies, its that time of the month for me. Im just getting used to them again, as my lil girl is only almost 5 months. Now I have the problem of cravings. The chocolate and fried food cravings. I always used to use this time as an excuse to cheat on diets, but I was never serious before now. I have already had a chocolate shake, and have potatoe wedges on the way…… Ah to be a woman……
On the bright side I got to jog this morning before AF came to bug me. I think missing a day through me off.
This is an excerpt from my food/excercise journal from today:
“Turns out if I miss even one day, it screws me up. My first lap was great, my first walk I felt on top of the world, I would have kept running if I didnt need a drink! I wish I had kept running. I didnt make it three mins into my 2nd lap [running] before I wanted to stop. But I cant be down on myself. I will do better next time!!”
Well, I will eat the great-tasting-bad-for-my-diet potatoes, then I think I will try to blog next time I get a craving, or maybe clean something. If I cleaned every time I wanted to overeat, my whole road would be clean( and I live on a dirt road!!!)
I’m in the same boat as you now. I’ve never really realized how much this time of the month puts a dent in my weight loss. All the cravings, uncontrollable cravings. And it affects me pretty much two weeks out of the month! We just have to fight through it somehow. I guess it’s okay if we can’t be 100% perfect all the time. At least we are trying.
I know exactly how you feel. I always crave chocolate SO badly…that plus feeling generally yucky makes me overeat during that time of month. I dread it.
