Carb craving

I wish my current relationship with food was better than it is.  Lately I have been shunning all of my favorites, and despite eating Paleo for months now -- barely craving bready carbs all that time -- for weeks I have been craving everything I'm not supposed to eat during this challenge.

There was ice cream in the freezer at work yesterday -- a gift of 4 new flavors from Blue Bell in honor of National Meteorologist Day.  It was calling my name.  Terri brought cookies to work.  Usually I don't have trouble walking past them -- this week, I paused, sniffed, and wished.

About the only thing I'm also craving that falls in the "It's OK to eat this" category is Chipotle.  I visited Chipotle for a chicken salad three times this week (Mmmmm -- greens, chicken, fajita veggies, salsa and GUACAMOLE).  The folks over at the Anderson store now know me.

And my appetite in inexplicable.  I used to eat on a regular schedule -- 3 meals, 2 snacks.  I would be hungry at each one and eat until satisfied.  Now, at some meals, I feel RAVENOUS.   Like this morning, I devoured so much food at breakfast, so fast, I was hurting at the end of breakfast.  But at other meals, I'm just not hungry at all.  Twice this week, I skipped dinner because I just wasn't hungry.

It's taking some adjustment learning to listen to my body just enough to feed it good food, but not enough to listen to it tell me to grab a huge handful out of every sample basket in the bread department of Central Market, which is what I wanted to do this morning.  Stupid brain.

The good news is, I'm staying on track and I finished my last workout for week 4!  We're over the hump!  That Hut's burger and scoop of Amy's Ice Cream is only a month away now!

For time:
Power swings  20, 18, 16 ... 6, 4, 2
Sprawls 2, 4, 6 ... 16, 18, 20
Finish with 5 40 yard sprints

Time: 9:27 @ 15#

This WOD fooled me.  I thought the swings would be hard.  Turns out the sprawls were much harder.

Now for a snack....
