Grumble, grumble.
I swear I jinxed myself. It happened. I am starving. I emailed Julie a few nights ago, literally boasting about how great I feel on my new diet, how eating so many whole foods is keeping me full, and that I am doing so well. Then it started. A grumble here, a grumble there, and just grumbling. This girl is hungry!
I know my metabolism is in high gear. I know I only have a few more days. I know my body is getting plenty of food – I am shocked at how much it consumes! I am thirsty after a gallon of water – what?!?!
However – I have a “cure” for the grumblings. Veggies. I may turn into a bean, or perhaps a spear, or maybe a leaf, but by golly, I will fight this hunger. I have gone over plan 50 calories 2 days. Yep, 50 calories and I have no problem admitting it. I have done so well on prep, no cheats, consumed all my needed foods, and not caved and binged on anything. I think having gone over 50 calories twice is forgivable. Some may go 50 calories over on accident, I know I did! It doesn’t mean I am not giving it my all, it means I decided that a few extra ounces of turkey was worth it to fall asleep.
I got advice to “find things to do” and stay busy when hungry. So, my house is immaculate, I am well ahead of the game at work, I have watched my entire DVR series, my clothes are organized, laundry is done, and well I am just sitting here anxious to fall asleep and for cardio in the morning.
Stage is near! Big changes shall happen in these next few weeks. Giving it all I’ve got! Pushing…
