OMG I made it back to the gym! As per the above whiner posts, its been a rough week, very probably a hormonal thing as well. I've just noticed a very tangible feeling of depression and lack of energy. Sometimes it happens, so I let it happen, dealt w/ it, indulged the diet a little and now I'm back on track, again proving to myself how therapeutic the gym is and how a bag of even my favorite m&ms just doesn't really fix anything. I'm still pretty consistent w/ no appetite so its absolutely been boredom or frustration eating. Again, this whole proving to myself that the junk food doesn't satisfy anything. I will say I've had a couple of the South Beach Diet pizzas - they were on sale for $2.50 per -- I've had the most obscene craving for jalapenos lately so I've gotten the cheese pizzas (around 300 cals, 35 g carb) & loaded them up w/ grilled chicken & jalapenos - not really a bad meal and certainly fixes the hot craving.
Anyway ...
