Hey finally I was queen of the pool yesterday. Yes that is right I was faster then all those 80 and 90 year old men. Whoo hoo!!!!But the workout wasn't as fast as I would have liked. Oh well, can't have everything.
But afterwards I went to the grocery store (starving) and decided to get a farewell to food package. In our very first meeting K had said that she had a farewell to food party, and I knew then and there she was one of us. Though she didn't have that much to lose, and she constantly went off product, she knew the love of food. So walking up and down those aisles I kept looking to see what I absolutely had to have before I was on all product again.
Chips. I got chips. Not candy, not cookies, not cake, not ice cream, but chips. So what does that say about me now? I thought for a while it might be that I was changing my food likes and dislikes, but then I thought you just swam 2.5 miles your dehydrated and you want the salt. Yes I was really dehydrated, my leg wouldn't stop cramping and toes were in the permanent curled cramp position, so I had an inkling I was understanding my food craving.
But seriously, I have allowed myself to enjoy whatever I want this week, and I am finding that I am actually craving different foods then I did the first time. The first time I wanted sweets - ice cream - cake - cookies - anything sweet. Now I have been craving mainly carbs - rice, bread, naan, chips, but I haven't been craving sweets or meat. And the thought of having a McDonald's burger is actually very unappealing. I love my burger that I get from TFD, but not enough to make it as one of my goodbye meals.
Wednesday it starts anew.

Boy, Queen of the Pool AND Queen of My Heart!
ReplyDeleteGlad you find McDonald's unappealing - I have eaten enough of them to last a life time (Burger King Whopper Jr without cheese are better anyway).
I get the salt craving - I'm coming home but I will NOT buy chips
Hey, "Little Queenie" - shall I sing the rest of the Lynnard Skynnard tune?
Could be because you know what lies ahead - mostly sweet, very little salty?
