Cooked food blues

I got the cooked food cravings blues.... right about now. Having a really difficult time with suppressing the cravings lately. Every night for the past few nights I've given into some form of cooked food. I don't know what it is, but my inspiration is lacking lately.

I know part of the problem was that I went into the city today and didn't prepare very well beforehand, I had  slept quite late today because I've been so tired and my sleep patterns have been off, so I didn't wake up until about 10:30, I didn't end up heading out the door until about noon for a 4.4 mile run. Hadn't had any food at that point yet, just water - then made a gigantic 10 + banana and maybe 5 date (I lost count at some point) smoothie that I took along with me, and had a bag of dates, but it still didn't do it for me. I had a stressful trek there, as I am almost always stressed in Manhattan - I dont' know what my problem is, I just hate being there unless I have something specific I'm going to do. And I felt like I had to chug my smoothie on the subway, which just didn't feel right to me. And I didn't quite finish it as we got into MOMA for free admission fridays- the line was going pretty fast. The crowds really got to me. All in all it was a stressful day. Maybe that's what made me crack. The subway ride on the way back was during rush hour so I stood for a portion of the time and couldn't really get into my bag of dates, nor did I really feel like having dates. It was cold and rainy... I had a headache.. wow I'm just full of complaints this evening!
When we got off the bus all I could think about was some kind of chinese food dish, like vegetable chow mein, or vegetable dumplings. Or something like that. I didn't want anything to do with the rest of my over-ripe bananas or any of the 10 pounds of dates in the fridge. Ugh...

I'm not sure what else to conclude but that I have been under-carbed and super tired lately. Tomorrow is another day and I will start using cronometer again, as I haven't used that in several days and I bet that is making a big difference in my lack of accountability. I will also post more structured food journals every single day from here on out.. Do I sound like a broken record? haha kind of. Well I think I need these reminders and this structure to be successful.
