Hungry and craving...

Just one more day to go to complete a full 3 weeks of strict Paleo than 7 more days of it and I’m done.  Don’t get me wrong, I will continue to do it, I will just add a bit for fruit to it.  It really is a great way of eating. Lots of people can do it and add so much variety.  The problem I have is that all the variety you add to it increases carb intake.  Once I finish losing weight I’ll start experimenting with different kinds of recipes.
Today was another good day.  I am extremely sore from this week’s workouts.  We have been beaten up!!  I’m sore from arm pits to knees…OUCH!  Our trainer is out for a couple of weeks so he left us with workouts.  Whenever we start a new one we are commenting on how difficult the workouts he left with us are; they seem more challenging than the ones we do when he is there.  One thing is for sure, he has left us with workouts and soreness that will not allow us to forget him while he is gone. J
We were very proud of Justin today.  His trainer had him and Joe walk to the park by our house with 10lb plates overhead, they did a workout at the park, and then he had to run home.  He ran all the way without stopping.  It’s not very far to you and me, but to an overweight 8 year old it is.  He too is very sore; he’s limping around the house.  Poor little guy has his first baseball practice at 9AM; he is going to be hurting.  I can’t wait to see how he does; his fitness level has improved so much.
Temptation to eat was all around me today; big time cravings for any kind of carb. Nothing satisfied my cravings today.  Usually a chocolate protein shake satisfies me, but not today.  We had dinner out; I ate well, prime rib and greens beans.  I thought this would satisfy me, but it did not. The best thing for me to do when I feel this way is to go to my room, relax, and try not to think about my grumbling tummy.  It’s working well so far.
Here’s what I ate today:
700                         3 eggs, turkey bacon, prune juice
100                         2 large pcs grilled chicken breast, asparagus
315                         Protein shake, 6 almonds
630                         Prime rib, green beans, onions, 1 small piece of potato
