You're Gonna Lose That Weight: Going Hungry

One of the tricks I've been using this week is dealing with the fact that I will be hungry. My metabolism is sped up when I eat on plan and my body is like an alarm clock that goes off about every two hours. I'm not sure if it is used to the amount of food I should be eating yet though. There are times when I'm hungry within a hour or I just finished eating and would like to eat more. Every time this has happened this week I've said no. I just deal with it, drink some water, and try to distract myself. If I really can't stop thinking about it I've been eating a peppermint (20 calories). I would use gum more often, but it makes my jaw muscles sore. Another thought I had was to eat sugar free jello (I have some pre-made cups that are 5 calories a piece.) or some veggies instead.

I heard about these cookies from a co-worker, and found some on sale at the grocery store. They taste pretty close to an Oreo in my opinion, but I did grow up on generics and not name brands.

As for what has happened with me today, the answer is not much. I took the day off of work since my stomach hurt all day Thursday. I thought a little rest would keep whatever I was fighting off from getting worse. I spent the morning sleeping and doing some paperwork for work. In the afternoon I did more paperwork, did a little blogging, worked out, and made an easy pizza for dinner. I basically sat on my butt all day.
