The more you workout, the hungrier you get

The last couple of days have been pretty good for me, except yesterday my appetite was ravenous and I found it hard to not think about food ALL DAY LONG.  It's part of my obsession with food I guess.  Some days I don't think about food at all and have no problem sticking to the food plan I have made for that day, and then sometimes I am just thinking about food all day.  It's crazy and I don't understand why it happens, but it does. 

Anyways, Tuesday was W2D2 of Insanity and it was Pure Cardio for the workout.  I nailed that workout pretty good and then went to work.  Nutrition was on spot with oats and a protein drink for breakfast, big spinach salad with chicken for lunch, steamed veggies and more chicken breast for dinner.  My snacks consisted of egg whites, Laughing Cow Light cheese, Greek yogurt, almonds, and a kashi bar.  I did so good on Tuesday and was super proud of myself.

Then yesterday was a different story.  Insanity was Plyometric Cardio Circuit, which is a tough workout.  Lots of leg work in the form of squats and floor sprints, and then lots of pushups.  I was pretty worn out but had to go to the gym for my weight-lifting.  I was dreading it because I thought I would be too tired, but surprisingly I crushed it.  It was chest day and I nailed my pushups, I guess because I was all warmed up from Insanity.  The day started off great nutrition wise, then I was ravenously hungry all day.  I was panicking in my mind, then it all came apart in the evening.  Needless to say, I did not meet my caloric goal yesterday!

I'm reading lots of Fighter Diet.  I'm obsessed with Pauline Nordin.  I got the Fighter Diet Concept e-book and it's great.  Just gotta keep pounding the concepts into my brain so they override my desire to stray from my diet and set myself back. 

I also got fitness model Kelsey Byers' book Eat Clean and Follow Your Dreams today.  Her story is pretty amazing, and I can't wait to read about her journey.

I made steamed cabbage today and my house is all stinky.  Trying to air it out.  My husband always complains when I steam veggies because then the whole house stinks, lol.  I wish I could come up with a solution to that, other than opening all the doors and windows and lighting candles, lol.
