Craving Attack!!!

So I woke up...
and wanted twizzlers, wine, a big ol greasy burger, go out to eat and have drinks/dance the night away...

Then I realized my mind was playing tricks on me, my old habits were trying to rear their ugly head.
I sucked it up like the buff buttercup I am and prepared my staple contest prep diet and fantasized it being pancakes dripped in syrup with a sauage and cheese biscuit mmmm and a donut for dessert! :P
Mind body concentration works with my meals too!

I AM a human being and I do have these urges, but I trained myself to instantly reminisce on the day I initially decided to start this journey and really soak in that feeling of being pumped about starting this process and the final outcome. I simply imagine myself on stage and think of what i would look like WITH that garbage in my system and what I would look WITHOUT that shiiiit.

BOOM instant motivation lol

My other 2 good ways to curb cravings are:

WATER (that jug saves my life) it keeps my belly full and keeps it from wanting food to fill it up.
SUGAR FREE GUM- sometimes eating is a bored habit so chewing keeps that bored feeling satisfied.

If all else fails, I'll have a little extra protein to keep me full in the form of a small chicken tenderloin or turkey breast. I'd rather have protein in my system than a carb or fat.

TRAINING WISE: I FELT INSANELY GOOD TRAINING BACK AND BIS. Felt vascular, strong, and focused. As I am writing this, I have meal 2 in my belly and life is goooood! The babes and I are going for a picnic later today at noon for my final meal. London Broil steak with sweet potatoes and unlimited veggies.... NOM NOM NOM. Screw a restaurant date when we can cook our own meal and enjoy it with a lake scene and pretty weather.

STAY HUNGRY AND YOU WILL DEVOUR THE GAINZ
