Challenge Update

Hello and goodnight ... well almost.  It's early still but I'm snuggled up in bed ... computer on my lab, book next in the cue and THE WHOLE BED TO MYSELF!!  Life feels pretty good right about now.

Eating today was really good.  Virtually no cravings (after last night, I might have used up all the available craving juice for today lol).

But I'm hungry.

True hunger.  Nothing I can't sleep through, but enough that I really, really want to eat.  If it weren't for the Challenge, I'd eat more.  Today was a higher calorie day and I used the calories up (the amount I "should" have).  That's where this Challenge fails (in my opinion).  Last night showed the success of the Challenge (stopped a big cheese attack) though.  Pros and cons.

Whole30 wants you to eat when you are hungry.  Period.

I'm not giving in tonight and am choosing to go to bed hungry because tomorrow will more than likely be an overage day (Superbowl!!).  Between lots of (healthy) goodies and a late night, I'm sure I'll be through my calories and then some.  I didn't want 2 days in a row.  But I won't allow it again.  Being hungry feels like a diet.  And I'm not on a diet (currently).

A plus ... healthy eating has given me back the room in my pants.  Jeans were super comfortable today.

Speaking of today -- fun day.  Movie was great, workout was a killer, day was HAPPY, youngest home for the weekend too.  It's a good thing.

Okay, I'm tired (and hungry).  Reading might not happen after all.
