Come Monday, it’ll be all right. I’m going to add back only stevia to my diet. I may even limit the number of times that I use it. Really it will used mainly for sweetening coffee and making a protein shake. I tried unsweetened coconut milk and unsweetened chocolate in an effort to make something chocolately delicious. It did not reach expectations. If I add egg white protein powder and a touch of stevia, I think that will work better. Best chocolate thing right now with no sweetener is Almond Butter with some unsweetened chocolate.

Today my legs felt sore. Like, post hard race sore. Despite the cold and the rain, I went for a run at lunchtime. Crazy Tennessee Weather was that it stopped rainy and I had to take off the long-sleeved shirt because I was starting to overheat. A strange thing happened and that my arms started to hurt in the same fashion my legs were. I started in my right arm which I thought was just from a massive bruising injury I had from taekwondo back in April, but then my left arm started up as well. My uneducated, I did NOT stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, guess is that my body is starting to shift gears in how it acquires energy. That is, it’s burned through the simple sugars and since I have not lowered my activities levels, it is now have to get fuel from fat and protein.
But it’s enough that I didn’t go to taekwondo, because if I’m having trouble moving my arms and legs, that’s not going to be very productive.
The chocolate cravings were minimal while I was gazing at the basket of chocolate today. Still hungry, but the hunger pains are less pronounced. I didn’t drink as much water at work as I usually do, maybe 28-30oz. If I had remember to bring either my Lime Juice or the infused cucumber water that would have helped the situation.
