Control Those Cravings!!

The first week of Operation Caveman is almost complete and with that comes the CRAVINGS...trust me I know all about those cravings!!  Whether it's sweet or salty, or even an adult beverage, we all have something we feel we can't live without.  That feeling, almost gnawing, in your stomach for that ONE thing that will make us, seemingly, feel so much better and fulfilled.

I'm here to tell you.......giving in does nothing, but make you feel worse.

When you're head is telling you to eat the things you're not supposed to, ask yourself these questions:

Why did I sign up for this challenge?
What was it about me, my health, or my body that I wanted to change by taking this challenge on?
Have I reached my goal?
What am I REALLY missing out on, if I continue to eat well?
How will I feel at the end of this challenge, when I've accomplished my goal?

Take the time to really answer these, and that craving will slowly diminish.  MIND OVER MATTER. 

What you 20 people are doing is an amazing accomplishment!  You are all ROCK STARS and I couldn't be more proud!!  Know in your hearts and heads that ALL coaches are 100% behind you...you are not alone.  Reach out to your coach and teammates whenever you feel the need to "treat" yourself.  Keep up the great work you're doing and don't give in, because really...what food is worth it?
