Fitness Friday: Combat the Cravings

Don and I passed the 4-week mark on our new eating plan. We've developed sustainable new habits, yet the lure of the old favorites is still strong at times. I'd like to share 4 ways to combat the cravings when they come, using the acronym f.o.o.d. (of course!)

Rest in the Mess

I was running late on Sunday. I woke up late, and had several things I needed to do before I left for workout and church, including making the bed, straightening up the bedroom, and wow, my office looks like a tornado hit it! The mess everywhere was really stressing me out.

Come to Me

The Lord told me at the beginning of the year that my health was to be a priority this year. I thought, OK, I will start back to Crossfit (check) and eat better (semi-check). Still I had high cholesterol, and the results of a Coronary Artery Calcium Scan (CACS) showed buildup in my arteries. OK, my doctor had my attention, and I started taking cholesterol medication.
