so, I thought this drastic change in calories would be terribly hard. but I'm in day 3 and it hasn't been that bad. Of course, that's mostly because I can't taste anything right now anyway - so what's the point in taking in the calories right!?!?!?
the big bummer is that I'll be skipping my leg workout tonight. aching joints and fever do not mix well with heavy squats - so I am going to err on the side of caution in order to hopefully be able to get back to my lifts tomorrow.
monday's food: 1261 calories: 228g protein, 23g Carbs, 23g fat
tuesday's food: 1034...158/14/37
today(so far, I still have a little wiggle room): 1033...161/15/35
today's question/concern: "I crave sweets/chocolate all the time. How do I deal with that?"
the answer to this is not what many usually want to hear - but if you are truly craving this stuff all the time, then you are addicted - and you probably need to quit cold turkey...at least at first. a few weeks of not experiencing the taste of sugar, and you will stop craving it. Once the cravings stop, you will be able to add it back in as a "treat" on occasion without experiencing those cravings. I'm always very cranky when I "come off the sugar" - but feel so much better once I've done it - it ends up being worth it!!
