Wow, today made me realize how very much my cravings are tied to my emotions. Since my last post, my frenzy-inducing craving for sweets disappeared. I feel...normal. A little guilty about how much I ate today, but not hungry and not wanting to eat more. And, of course, I'm no longer bored or stressed or anxious. Huh.
And I did my LB ST. My abs are the hardest. Working my abs, and the (good) pain of taxing them is tied up with the bad pain of my bad neck and back. No matter how careful I am, I always seem to end up feeling pain in either my back, my neck, my shoulders, or all three. I think I may have to go back to doing 60 ab exercises (crunches or bicycles) every day or every other day to make up for the fact I'm not doing all the ab work I'm supposed to according to my LB ST routine. So, 30 in the morning, and 30 in the evening. Fewer reps at a time puts less strain on my neck and back. And, yeah, I know that doing ab work every day can be slightly ineffective because the muscles need time to rest, so maybe it'll just be every other day? I'll think about it. I'm adding a lot of stuff in a short period of time, so maybe I shouldn't start doing this immediately. Wait until I get settled into this routine before I change it. Definitely need to think about this.
