Got a Craving that You Can't Seem to Nail Down?

Its Weigh In Day again!


Down another 2lbs... slow and steady!!! That gives me a grand total of 27lbs so far... I want that 30lbs now!! lol!! 


We all have experienced cravings at different times... some of us moms, have experienced, "odd" non-food cravings......

For example, when I was pregnant with one of my boys, it was chewing ice... I loved to just crunch it!! lol!!  And with my daughter, it was the smell of Black Magic Markers, and it had to be the right one!  The Dr said, as long as I didn't have it stuffed up my nose, it was ok, I guess 10% of us (at that time) experience "pica cravings"...  So I would sit for hours, doodling on white sheets of paper, just too have the smell in the room.  I think during the pregnancy I went through one or two 500 Sheet packages and 2 boxes of 25 Markers lol!!

Cravings, in the NORMAL sense, "can" be the body's way of communicating something it wants or needs, it will kick up a taste for something that it knows that that particular nutrient is in.

For example, Craving Chocolate by Women is quite normal, if you consider, our body is looking for Magnesium and/or Calcium... OR Craving Milk as a teen... I remember tipping the jug till it was empty at one point in those years!! lol!! It was the Calcium my body was looking for.

So if your body is telling you something, listen to it.

But, what about that "craving" that you can't quite put your finger on or can't satisfy... I want "something" but, I am not sure what I want... so you go stand in the open fridge and look... hummmmmm what do I want... and you might even nibble a couple of things, only to find... nope... that's not it... what is it!!!???

Wanna know?  :o)

Its WATER.

Yep, our body does NOT know how to tell you it is "craving" water.

Now if we are working outside or its a hot day, its a no brainer, we will reach for it instinctively!! lol!!

But, the dead of winter... that nagging, gnawing, want for something you can't put your finger on... its water.

So the next time you stand in front of the refrigerator or the cupboard and can't for the life of you figure out what you want to have...

Reach for some nice cold, refreshing water!!! Cause that's what your body wants!!

Keep Moving!!!! :o)  ♥
