Week one wasn't so bad. Actually it was much better than expected. I guess when you eat right all the time, it is easier to give up those things that are bad. Nonetheless, I did have cravings, I wanted that chocolate bar so bad. I especially wanted warm gooey right out of the oven chocolate chip cookies... those definately would have hit the spot, not to mention that they are making my mouth water even as we speak. But I didn't give in to those cravings.
I was tempted many times to give in. Cookies and cake were at my disposal, I don't even care for cake and yet it sounded good. I went to the grocery store and there they were staring at me in the check out line, reeses, snickers, whatchamacallits, twix, 100 grands, Cookies and cream! What I wouldn't have given for a cookies and cream hersheys chocolate bar. Don't know about you but I just love the way the white chocolate melts in my mouth til all I have left is cruchy cookies. Its pretty much heaven. BUT I DIDN'T GIVE IN!
I have to say tho, I kinda found a little bit of a cheat. One of the things I enjoy doing is sampling the protein bar that happens to be on sale that day. And last week I stumbled upon the Triple Threat Energy Power Bars. Carmel Peanut Fusion Flavor. It tastes just like a snickers. So I stocked up! I have one a day. So I dont' feel totally deprived of my chocolate, and they are a much heathier option. Especially when eaten right after a hard workout!
About thursday/friday of last week my cravings finally broke. I found that I wasn't so hungry, My body wasn't constanly craving sugar, so I wasn't constantly wanting to eat. I found that today I had to constantly remind myself to eat my food. Which is GREAT! I am now in the zone of feeding my body and not my stomach! Eating because I need to not because I want to.
Week one was a success, I hope it gets easier from here on out! Lets just hope! =)
