Training day 5 and cravings

Tuesday was training day 5. We worked on back and abs. This time we focused on all the back exercises first, then abs, rather than having the ab workouts dispursed in with the others. I am finding the ab work out in the Roman Chair to be more challenging every time. It's not because I'm doing more, I think it might be because I'm gaining weight and my body isn't used to the excess yet. I imagine it's only going to get harder. I get to my 4th set and can barely hang on any more.

I've been doing pretty well with my diet. I've been trying to eat as much fruit as possible every day, even though I don't really like fruit. Brian mentioned to me today that he's suprised by my lack of cravings. I guess you hear stories of men being sent out to the store at all hours of the morning for weird food combinations, or getting up in the night to go make some weird sandwich for their pregnant wife. I haven't experienced any really strong cravings at all. I get a taste for something and that's what I'll choose to eat, but I could easily be talked out of it. Maybe the really strong cravings come later on. I have developed an aversion to most meat, though, and I used to LOVE lemon pepper and dill on my food and now it smells like ass to me.

Perhaps my cravings are in denial because what I truly crave is sushi and tequila, both of which are off limits. I had sushi for lunch with Jack yesterday, and of course I only chose vegetable and cooked varieties, but I really wanted a Spicy Susan or a spicy tuna hand roll. Jack is super supportive, too. I know he wants a Spicy Susan but he doesn't get one because it would torture me :-)
