Yesterday I rode the bike for 55 miles (90 km) and today I´m sooo tired and want to eat. Took a restday from cycling. PMS is coming on so I´m affected both physically and mentally. Sad and restless. It´s like I regress to a 4 years old.
Being tired is my biggest food-trigger. My body screams for energy and I can understand it wants it after yesterdays ride. Tiredness is for me very hard to deal with without eating access sugar and fat.
I have kept myself on maby 100 calory deficit. Today that is a huge success. Very thankful for that. In the picture you can see some of the things that has gotten me thru today. I made some coffee witch made me stay a little more full and also energized, I had a cuddly lion to console me and I indulged in YouTube. In this picture I´m watching Andrea Valdez who is a figure competitor I have followed for almost 2 years. All things that feels consoling, well known and safe has helped. Also for a evening snack I boiled some (you guessed it if you read my blog before) haricovert´s and added salt. Tasty and filling and I don´t even count the calories because it´s mostly fiber anyway.
Actually I thought I was gonna go to the shop and buy candy and ice-cream and indulge and make new efforts tomorrow. Sometimes it can actually be what´s needed but the little lion told me not to so I didn´t. ;-) Also my wonderful sambo helped just being supportive as usuall.
Goodnight to you all and I wish you a no-craving night!
