I really need to start carrying more portable food in my purse. I woke up this morning, and planned on eating breakfast and then working out. But my mom needed me to go with her to pick up the car that is in the shop. So I eat a light breakfast and then we go. I expected to be back in time to eat again and work out.
Oh, was I wrong. We were there for FOUR HOURS! And we didnt even get the car back! WTH, right?!?! well, it wasnt fixed. To make a long story short, we just left it there for them to finish. I was starving the whole time and I had nothing to eat. It was 3pm and I still had not been home to work out! We got home at around 3:30 after picking my brothers up some subway.

When I got home, I had a huge hunger headache and I was absolutely RAVENOUS. I ate an apple right away. That always seems to settle my hunger pangs and give me some energy so I can think clearly. After cooking my mom's food, doing laundry, and getting settled, I ate some sauteed shrimp and vegetables. Luckily, I measured all my food, sat down and ate it. If I hadnt measured everything, I would have totally binged because I was so hungry. I tend to just shove food in my mouth like there is no tomorrow. And if I eat really fast like that, i miss my body's que to stop. I'm sure you've all been there.
I cant let myself get that hungry anymore. Cant catch myself going 4-6 hours without food. I am setting myself up for disaster.

I am pretty tired from spending 4 hours at the car place. I dont want to work out :[ But I need to...
i figured it out and I need to end up taking tuesday as a rest day because there will be absolutely NO time to work out before we leave. We'll probably be gone the whole day, too. I just feel like crap right now and I dont want to work out. I am seriously lacking motivation. I know I couldnt even do my whole strength training AND cardio routine. So i think I am just going to do some ab work and cardio. Some is better than nothing, right?

Oh, and I have been having a total love affair with fruit, lately.
I cant get enough of it. I'm not saying I have totally binged on it lol but I want to eat some with basically every meal. I have been craving seasonal fruits too, especially ones that I would associate with summer, like pineapple, mangos, kiwis, strawberries, grapes, tangerines and pears. Hence the craving for nectarines with honey and granola on it. That is seriously my new favorite dessert/snack. I would probably take it over ice cream or brownies now.



***Post Work Out***
Well I feel much, much better.
I didnt do my normal routine of strength training, but I did what I could. Worked the abs, the legs, and arms. Did an hour and 20 mins of cardio, plus ran for a whole half a mile in 5 mins. That was fun :] And I feel good. I'm glad I pushed myself.

Wonderful how you worked through a difficult circumstance successfully!! I always have one or two protein bars in my purse just for occasions like you had. There is nothing worse I think than being too hungry!!! I'm impressed you did so well!!! Good for you!!
