Monday 4/13/15 Evening Update

Yesterday basically went as expected. I went to the gym, worked out for two and a half hours, went to the grocery store, picked up my daughter, and came home. I had forgotten my friend Mary was supposed to come over to touch up my roots with some warmer colors (she cut and colored my hair two weeks ago). I was also planning to cook a nice dinner for everyone since it was Mary's birthday last week. Because of all of this I didn't get ANY work done which is a bummer but I am stoked that I had an amazing workout. I burned 601 calories on the elliptical! 

For dinner I made some chicken with brown rice and asparagus. 

Tomorrow I am working in Luas Valley all day and will not be able to go to the gym. On Wednesday I may be able to go. I know I will have time to go for a run in the morning if I drop off my kids early enough. I just don't know if I'll have time for the gym. 

It's 10:30pm and I am exhausted from my extensive workout today. I skipped dessert tonight to try and calm down these sugar cravings I've been having. The cravings started right after dinner and have been getting stronger and stronger. I tried doing some breathing exercises to calm my system down but I don't think it will help. I'm craving an apple which I don't know if that's good or bad. I really don't want to give in but I don't know how much longer I can hold out. I even tried doing some research online but most of the sites I found suggested that you give in to the cravings by eating a tiny bit of a sugary treat. I don't trust myself to only have a tiny bit so I'm going to just try to go to sleep. 

11:30pm-update

My younger daughter just woke up and woke me up. She's back to sleep now but I am feeling extremely hungry now. I didn't eat that much today and I had a huge workout so that may have something to do with it. I know I'm trying to reason with why I should give into these cravings but I've woken up several times this evening and each time the cravings are worse. I really need to get to sleep so I'm going to have a bowl of Oatmeal Squares cereal. 

11:50pm- Feeling much better. Going to sleep. Nite.
