Hunger Games :)

I'm not actually going to talk about the book trilogy, sorry...although I suppose I will be referencing them a bit. :)

As I mentioned earlier, I'm participating in a "biggest loser" competition.  This is week 2 of 16.  The sad truth is, I'm already losing steam.  I find myself distracted and much more easily amused by other things than exercise...even if it IS Wii Fit games.  Being sick later last week didn't help matters much--I just curl up with a book on the couch and read or watch Netflix all day long when that happens.  I've been eating well, though.  Oatmeal for breakfast every day and mostly fruits and veggies throughout the day in small portions (except whatever main course I make for dinner, but I've not helped myself to seconds.  Also, only a cup of pudding and a bite-sized piece of chocolate all week for dessert!  Go me!).

ANYWHO, today is a "hollow day."  Nothing I eat satisfies me.  Usually I nibble on a few stalks of celery sticks, a small bowl of salad, a piece of fruit, or maybe some yogurt with frozen fruit throughout the day, but today I've been craving meat and carbs like CRAZY.  I had my usual oatmeal this morning, but then when I went to eat salad it was all bad (doesn't keep well in the fridge for long).  Our celery isn't great, either.  So I reheated a cup of tomato juice and ate it as soup (I'm diggin' that lately) and then reheated half a grilled chicken breast, shredding it and putting it on bread.  That lasted me a few hours.  Then I had an instant breakfast.  Then I had a bowl of cereal.  Still hungry!!!  But I haven't even made dinner yet.  And tonight's dinner (brown rice and black beans with Mexican corn) isn't the best, either. 

Between the hollow day and the complete and utter lack of motivation to MOVE, I'm not having the best week ever.  And it's only MONDAY!

GRRRR...:(
