Mornings & Munchies

Today started early, too early.  6:45 a.m. swim workout with Lisa.  It always surprises me how busy the pool is early in the morning.  As much as I enjoy a good swim, it’s not something I could get myself to get up and do at -15 degrees, if I didn’t have someone waiting for me. Lisa came in right before us, looking groggy but determined.  Sure enough, twenty laps later, I was tired.  We were still feeling the ab workout from Wednesday, and the run yesterday, so every lap I kept thinking my abs can’t do one more, but then when we got to the end, she said we had only done 19 laps and I figured I needed to finish on a nice round number.

I stepped on the scale this morning before going in, and you would think all that exercise and eating right would count for something, but no such luck.  Hope the rest of you had a better week.  I do know my pants are fitting looser, so even if the scale is not moving, I’ll get to buy new clothes eventually.

After a couple hours of errands, I came home exhausted and the computer screen kept bouncing around in front of me and I just couldn’t get warm, so I curled up in a couple blankets and caught up on some of my missing sleep from the last week.  I guess there has to be some benefits to owning your own business, and taking a nap when you really need one is definitely a plus.  But then here it is 10:52 p.m. and I haven’t really finished for the day, so I guess it works both ways.

Anyway, I woke up much more energized and ready to finish the computer projects I was working on.

One of the things I have noticed is that the more tired I am the more munchie I get.  Not really hungry, but needing to keep eating anyway.  Suggestions?  I’d chew gum, but I’m not really a gum chewer. I keep healthy choices around,  but still the cravings linger on.  It’s your turn.  What’s your best cure for the munchies, that doesn’t destroy all of our progress?
