As for food, I'm having trouble finding food that really appeals to my taste buds. Everything tastes so bland. I'm glad that I don't like bread, ice cream, or candy bars, but unfortunately, I still like the taste of chips. Fortunately, I've been able to keep myself away from them by telling myself that I need protein more than I need carbs :-) I really want a salad, but I'm still not supposed to have that, yet.
For the most part, I refuse to deprive myself of things (unless I'm absolutely not supposed to have them, yet - like salad). If there is something that I'm craving, I let myself try it; of course, I usually end up not caring for it afterwards, which I'm happy about. Last week, I REALLY wanted crazy bread from Little Caesar�s, so I bought some. It smelled so good, but it just didn't taste the same. That is the one thing that I was kind of disappointed about not liking b/c crazy bread use to be my special treat that I had on rare occasions.
I haven't had much time lately to experiment with cooking to see if I can find something that doesn't taste bland. School (I'm in Graduate school at SFA) this semester is very hectic for me; I have practicum in the morning and classes in the evening. In addition to that, I have to find time during the day to workout, get my homework done, and make myself eat and drink enough water. I'm really having trouble making myself drink enough. I know, I know: sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk. The walking I've got down; the sipping I need to work on some more.
