So I did go up again and am going back down again....

Sweets and why on earth do we have to crave them??? In this article it says

"The underlying causes of cravings are still pretty poorly understood," says Cheryl Gilhooly, senior research dietitian at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. The explanation appears to be a complex web of biology and emotion. One thing, however, is certain: "In our research, we've looked at characteristics of foods craved, and it has to do with calories. A combination of fat and carbohydrates is the defining characteristic."

I wish that someone would figure it out!! Ok, I know we have troubles with them, I know I do ie my chocolate chips...well I have not touched them in 5 days. That is good, the oreos are still in the cupboard. And the ice cream I did have a small cone last night after dinner with the children. But I didn't eat more ice cream or chips and salsa, or popcorn after 9 last night, even though I was STARVING. I just held my DH's hand and watch Heros with him. I was going to work out last night again, but really didn't feel up to it. It was too much and I am starting to feel it and don't want my workouts to be crap. I did EA Active today, that was good 250 cals gone! I will get to a work out tonight to watch Greys. I did the floors and chased the children around. I do not like doing floors at all....but they really needed to be done!!

Good luck to all those who are on the journey to lose a little or a lot. It's hard work, but am grateful for the support of others who are in the same place that I am.
