Job searching and refined sugar

Well, I've been hard at work to find a job and let me tell you that when you're doing it, make sure you have real people to talk with rather than just putting up your resume on job boards. 

Well on October 31st I was happy to get lots of free food except that most of it will rot your teeth and cover up my slightly peeking through 6 pack.  Really I need to get that candy out of my sight and possibly out of the house.  Candy and sweets are my absolute weakness. 
Here's some nice tips on what to do with your candy...You can find this at http://blog.bodybuilding.com/shannan

Here are a few tips to help you deal with the sugar cravings:


Wait it out! Sometimes cravings are emotionally driven, and you may be eating sweets in reaction to your emotions. Before you dig into the donut box, stop, recognize your craving, and ask yourself out loud if it is worth the few minutes of pleasure instead of achieving the body you want and can enjoy 24 hours a day.

Eat more often. You might crave sugar if you haven’t eaten a balanced meal or snack because your blood sugar may be low. Your body knows the fastest way to get its blood sugar back up is to get some simple carbs in there, so it tells you to crave sugar-and you do! That’s just another reason we have you eating balanced meals throughout the day!

Break the habit! If you always have dessert with dinner or get a treat every day from the vending machine at 4pm, recognize that pattern, and break it! Do something completely different, such as taking a walk or calling a friend instead of hitting the vending machine.

And, last but not least, give in and have a bite! Before you get too excited, I want it to be loud and clear that I’m not giving you permission to binge! Share a dessert, have a mini size chocolate bar, or a small cookie. Be sure to go out and have it in order to keep the temptation of leftovers out of the house!

Best wishes to you all.  See ya tomorrow!
