I guess it's been a week since I've updated! Time flies. I'm doing well with CRON. I can't say it's been easy. Every night after dinner I get intense sugar cravings and I feel desperate for something sweet. I feel like I'm going to go insane if I don't have something. But if I can hold off for a few hours, it starts to ease up. I'm really proud of myself because I've been waiting a few hours when I get that feeling (even though I feel like I'm going to die without some sweets) and then it eases up and if I can just go to bed, in the morning, I won't even want any sugar anymore. Last night I told myself, "If you can wait until morning, you can have it," because I know in the morning, I will have no desire to eat any junk food. So I'm getting through it all right.

I haven't been using Cron-O-Meter very much lately. I'm trying to live as frugally as possible this summer so I can save most of the money I make for school, so I'm eating frozen bean and vegetable soups out of the freezer. When my grandma was here, she made so much soup we could never eat it all, so our freezer is full of frozen homemade soup. I have no way of accurately counting the calories in it since I don't even know everything that's in it let alone how much of each ingredient would be in a serving. I wish I could get a more accurate calorie and nutrient count, but there's nothing I can really do about it. I am losing weight though and I know I'm not overconsuming calories because I'm not eating that much.
