I packed my lunch today (like usual), but really wanted sushi for lunch. I thought and thought about it until I caved and walked next door to Giant for some store bought sushi (I live on the edge). It was nothing fancy, but did satisfy the craving. I got California Rolls (maybe a CA craving?). To round out the meal…

It’s the tired talking
To update your readers: http://feeds.feedburner.com/runeatrepeat/xgvb I have noticed that one of the most common reasons I overeat or snack mindlessly is when I am tired. I realized that I was going to be super tired today and tried to avoid unnecessary snacking as much as possible. I did end up eating more than my body was hungry for, but didn’t…
