Why am I so hungry today? I've eaten my full breakfast, lunch and snack and I'm still hungry. About a half hour ago I broke down and ate a handful of pistachios. Hopefully that will take the edge off because I am out of snacks until dinner. I'm surprised at my hunger because I worked out hard this morning and usually that will curb my hunger for the day. And I really haven't been hungry in general for the past few weeks. Maybe it's just a case of the Mondays. Oh well...almost quitting time and then I can get out of here and get my mind on something else.
So, my dog-sitting weekend went pretty well. A little on the boring side. It always is when you are staying at someone else's house but at least I had some time to relax. I also got to visit with my Grandmother on Saturday night and that was nice. AND I finally got to have the crabcake I have been dreaming about for the past few weeks. It was so good and so worth the wait. I had it with 2 sides of veggies so I think it was a well-balanced low cal meal over all. Yesterday when I got home I did some things around the house and did the grocery shopping for the week. I also did all of hubby's laundry. He is amazed at how much energy I have now. And how much fresher his clothes are smelling...
Talk to you later.

12 sticks of butter?
Are you serious. I guess I did lose 12 sticks of butter. Awesome! So...about your hunger~are you drinking your water? You are doing great on your weight loss. Keep it up. That is so cool that your hubby is noticing a difference!
I was going to suggest eating a handful of nuts, but I see that you have already done that. I have found that nuts are the best way to curb my appetite until meal time. As kimby has suggested, maybe your body needs some extra water. I have read that often when you are feeling hunger to drink 2 glasses of water and the feeling usually passes. Keep up the great work!!
Working out always increases my hunger. Now that you are losing weight - maybe the working out is affecting you differently than it did before? I agree with the drinking water tactic. You could always add a big garden salad as a snack and spritz it with low-fat dressing. You could attack the hunger pains without many calories.
It makes me hungrier LOL - but I usually go for an extra fruit, milk or more protein, don't give it license to have a "treat" for working out. Sometimes PMS and TOM give me the hungries too... Keep up the great work!!
