Jennifer's diary

Last night after I picked my daughter up from dance,..we shared a bag of those mini eggs (its wasnt a real small bag either, but we did have 1/2 bag left over).......why does chocolate and time of month go hand in hand???
I finally had my fix. Ya know when you are craving something you should just go do and do a bit of it,..didnt want the crumble,...I wanted chocolate, so I teased myself with the crumble,...when I should have just bought some chocolate and got it over and done with. Scales still the same though

Breakfast
slim fast
water

snack
yogurt
water

Took the kids to the park had a picnic (its been like spring the last few days)....I brought tuna salad for me, and fun stuff for the kids (Pbj's cut like inch worms).
Then my oldest daughter had a basketball tournement (she did so awesome , at 11 she is 5'7" ) and then I took them to Golden Arches for a lil treat with some of her teammates afterwards. They had their mcflurries,..I ordered nothing...my youngest one passed out cold (all that fresh air) with her mcflurry spoon still in her mouth )...as I hang my head in dieters disgrace I admit to finishing my her mcflurry........I didnt intend to...but I did.
Mini Eggs yesterday,..mcflurry today.........what is it tomorrow? a Toblerone BAR!!!! ...nah I am ok I actaully feel bloated and icky.
I was actually too full for dinner.

On my way to the gym. Perhaps some veggie soup when I get back.
To top it all off I feel the mother ship of all zits errupting on my chin.....oh so hott!

I wish I had your other half of bag of mini eggs, I'm feeling how you were yesterday :D

I really enjoy reading your posts. If I'm ever having a bad day I go straight to your diary :) Keep up the great work and if you ever find the answer to that question about chocolate and time of month going hand in hand let me know...hehe!!
 
Jennifer,
You are not kidding about that time of the month and chocolate! The last two days I've noticed some "chocolate snitching" at my house!
Hope the mini eggs will tide you over till next month!

They should develop a chocolate patch,..straight to the blood stream for immediate relief...glad to know I am not the only one other there craving the coco bean.
 
choclate patch would be brilliant...I rarely get serious chocolate cravings, but about a month ago I was going to bite someone's head off if I didn't get any...

And on chocolate: if you get a craving, eat dark chocolate! it doesn't have the milk fat in it, and I heard it's also fairly good for your heart and teeth :)
 
I know all about chocolate cravings! I believe the reason we crave chocolate during that time of the month is because chocolate contains chemicals similar to the natural chemicals the brain releases when we're happy. It sort of works like a amphetemine. So, when our homone levels are jumping around because of our periods, eating chocolate provides our bodies with those chemicals that cause mood lifts.

And enough of Jaclyn's Science Lesson.

Isn't it interesting the things you find out about yourself while dieting-for instance, how you realized that you really just wanted chocolate and not the crumble-and now you know! I'm loving it. Oh, and cmmsstewart is right, dark chocolate is very good for your heart, better than red wine.

I did a speech on chocolate in my sophomore year of college. :)
 
Hmm how bout red wine and chocolate,...drunk and happy,...yah-whoooie!!!!!!

I do find now that I have have been dieting for a bit now, my body speaks alot more strongly to me about what food I need and want. I crave peppers, itrus fruit and protien all the time. Perhaps I was just so out of tune with my body before I didnt pick up on any signals or, I was over-consuming so geeeeeeeH,..no real cravings....I just ate it and just thought nothing of it.

I do find that I did get a bit of a headache eating the choclate,..puttin that down to the sugar...maybe I was on a happy high...

As far as chocolate goes...the darker the better....like white chocolate is just.....blasphemous!!!!
 
wine and chocolate... I'm with ya, Jennifer! Of course, if I'm wearing the cocoa bean patch and having some chocolates and wine....

Man, why does everyone hate white chocolate??? I guess I'm a cream and vanilla sort of girl. I did hear though that really dark chocolate could actually be good for you....though I don't remember why....
I give you a lot of credit for really listening to your body. As I've been working out and eating healthier I find that I just crave the bad stuff a lot...mostly A LOT of carbs and protein...not all bad, no, in moderation. If I indulge my cravings I always feel really bad afterwards and assume I've just gained like ten pounds. Mer. I need to figure a way to get my head on straight like you!

Man am I ever a grump if I dont get to eat on time...man was irritating myself for godness sake.
 
How do you go about putting a pic by your screen name?? Don't think I have a good one of myself, but I wouldn't mind putting one of my girls up.
 
You are doing well. Actually, you are doing fantastically! (LOL! I couldn't resist.) Both of my older boys went through a phase of using HUGE words like, "actually." David (3) still sounds funny saying it.
Keep on!

Went to a friends kids birthday party....kids party in the afternoon,..and then close friends stay for food and socializing later. I had a few glasses of wine. I had some chicken some salad and too busy helping her so food was not consumed at high levels,...and she can cook. I didnt even have birthday cake.

Korrie you have to resize a pic to under 80 pixcels and then you can upload as an avatar. If you need help with the picture let me know.

Talking about kids using big words,...my five year old was complaining about some aliment and my 11 year old says..."Oh Eden you are such a carbohydrate".I said "honey, I think you mean,..h y p o c h o n d r i a c".
