There are no easy answers

I've been doing some (sorta) super strict eating for two weeks...and I'm having some pretty huge cravings! It sucks. But I admit, it's probably the only way for me to NOT binge on pizza, chocolate, and all sorts of other delicious sugary and starchy treats. I definitely needed a kick in the pants to get back to healthy eating. Did it work? Not sure. I have this idea in my head that I wouldn't have cravings, that this would be easy...ugh. There are no easy answers.

I've been fighting a cold for the two weeks that I've been doing this. Trying to get enough rest while learning the new job has been less than successful...most nights. My desire to exercise is even less during these tiring times. There are no easy answers.

My plan? Stay on track. There's one more week left of this 'bootcamp' eating. No cheating on the food. I've checked out class schedules at the gym. There's two classes on Tuesday that I'll enjoy. I'm planning on going to them. I will plan for some cardio on Monday after weight loss class. If I bring my gym clothes, I'm more likely to go to the gym. I have social plans on Wednesday and Thursday, so those will be off-days. I'm not sure about the weekend though...I know I should make a plan and commit to keeping it. Unfortunately, I have some competing thoughts. There are no easy answers.
