Curbing your weekend cravings

"they're working real hard, I know you are...."-TH

As you go through the P90X program you will experience A LOT of upsets. There's the not losing weight, missing out on workout days, muscle soreness..... and the worse GIVING IN TO YOUR CRAVINGS.... I have experienced this a lot of times. Just when you're about to see some progress, killing your meal plan destroys everything. It's hard, very hard and very frustrating. Many times I conceded and just gave in. Moping and feeling guilty right after and promising myself to be more disciplined next time. But It's a Habit. Weekday you do good. Good food, well balanced diet and a good set of exercise. Then weekend comes which starts with friday night. I stay with a friend on the next town over the weekend to have company. Some friends come over, The feast begins. Fatty foods, high carbs... it's a feast I tell you. How I rationalize this one is I set myself on a starvation mode during the week. I try to cut as much carbs in my diet and stick between 200-300 cal a day. Whole wheat bread is not a happy meal I tell you. I have to force it with it's bland taste in my mouth. Eating wheat bagel with turkey ham for lunch (no mayo) isn't very appetizing for everyone. But it's for my health (Char on that!)... i'm trying to make some sense to this.. So anyway, when weekend comes my friends would prepare a very sumptuous filipino meal. The smell/aroma of the food makes my common sense jump out the window. i would get 1-2-3 servings.. and before I realize it I have eaten 3 plates in one seating. This is how it will turn out when you are not getting enough or not eating right during the week. I have no resolution for this so far... will keep[ on experimenting and researching on this stuff. (FYI: I am talking about my food cycle during the bout 1 of P90X.. will make an effort to make some changes this time)
