Blue skies and red mud! Shasta Mud Run is today! I'm running alone this year, but the @shastamudrun is so much more fun with a team! #adventure #simplyadventure #lifeofadventure #outdoors #earnyourview #discoverearth #redding #california #running #trailrunning #trailrunner #fitness #runner #mudrun #shastamudrun #runnersofinstagram #runnergram #optoutside #nature #PathOfProgress (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxU5OZYA58D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1casqmq7n22eq

I placed a bid on this duplex in Mt. Vernon Street. I stopped myself at $5k and knew this would fly off the shelf. Prime area now on the path of progress. Yay #detroit. Winning bid was $40,100. Wow!! Rehab cost is around $120k. Whoever got this property still got it cheap. But gone are the days when you can practically buy houses in the area for $500 each. #realty #northend #pathofprogress #buybuybuy #rehab #renovate (at North End, Detroit)

How to stop chocolate cravings?

Strong cravings for chocolate may be linked to an iron or magnesium deficiency, and some experts believe nutrition and hormones play a strong role in the desire for chocolate.

The Nestle Research Center in Switzerland completed a study that shows chocolate cravings are linked to the amount of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract. If you don't have enough of these bacteria, you may experience more cravings for chocolate than most. (Source: American Chemical Society via SciencMode.com)

So what can be done to curb that sweet tooth? Monitoring your diet and making sure you're not stuck on a sugar and carbohydrate cycle are good places to start. Here are some easy ways to stop chocolate cravings so you can enjoy the good stuff in moderation:

Stop Craving Chocolate By Exercising More

Many people become addicted to chocolate because of the temporary mood boost it delivers. You can get this same boost in mood with a brief but vigorous exercise session. Any workout that gets your heart pumping and releases endorphins will give you that 'lift' you're craving. A workout can also keep your appetite under control the rest of the day, so you'll be less likely to overeat any type of food.

Stop Chocolate Cravings with Magnesium Supplements

Chocolate contains a significant amount of magnesium per serving, so if you're not getting enough magnesium from your diet, cravings might strike more often than not. Try a magnesium supplement before bed to keep your levels in check; magnesium is also an excellent sleep supplement that will let you relax with ease.

Stop Craving Chocolate by Eating Something Spicy

Tricking your taste buds by eating something that's completely the opposite of what you're craving can calm down the chocolate obsession. A super spicy snack will also help increase circulation and alter how you feel (at least temporarily), just long enough to conquer the chocolate craving.

Reduce Chocolate Cravings by Eating a Small Portion

A tiny portion of pure, dark chocolate can keep your sweet tooth under control. Many people think they're craving sweet chocolate, when a piece of slightly bitter dark chocolate will be just as rewarding. You can trim down the calories and fat when you make the switch to darker varieties, and slowly 'wean' yourself off the chocolate each time the craving hits.

Stop Chocolate Cravings by Waiting It Out

Cravings for any type of food typically subside within 15-20 minutes. If you can distract yourself for a while and get busy with something besides eating, your chocolate cravings may just disappear. Try chewing some powerful peppermint or spearmint gum to freshen up your breath and calm down your digestive system if you need some extra help.

Raining won't stop training! It was pouring rain almost all day but thankfully there was a break in the weather so I got 5.2 miles in at the lake yesterday. The forest is very still and quiet when it rains, and when there aren't many people on the trail it's a good time for introspection. #adventure #simplyadventure #lifeofadventure #outdoors #earnyourview #discoverearth #mountshasta #california #running #trailrunning #fitness #runner #runner5 #zr #zombiesrun #zombiesrungame #runnersofinstagram #optoutside #nature #PathOfProgress (at Lake Siskiyou) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbQexFA_82/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d8x7ltz2elnx

Shasta Mud Run is tomorrow! I'm so excited! It's one of my favorite events of the year! A 5k obstacle course through tunnels, wire crawls, tire swings, water slides, and monkey bars! This picture is from the 2017 @shastamudrun and hopefully I'll get some good photos from the event tomorrow! #adventure #simplyadventure #lifeofadventure #outdoors #earnyourview #discoverearth #redding #california #running #trailrunning #trailrunner #fitness #runner #mudrun #shastamudrun #runnersofinstagram #runnergram #optoutside #nature #PathOfProgress (at Redding, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSgf9zAeuY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ok3vqk7pfmta

Adventure at Burney Falls! Sometimes the hardest part of an adventure is leaving home. Especially when you have 4x boys who can't find their shoes or a belt or whatever they need! We had a lot of fun yesterday and everyone had a great time. Most of them passed out as soon as we were in the car driving home! #adventure #simplyadventure #waterfall #burneyfalls #lifeofadventure #outdoors #earnyourview #discoverearth #hiking #optoutside #nature #PathOfProgress (at McArthur–Burney Falls Memorial State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw15lzoAacZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13fst4w8d3w5p

Weight bench assembly instructions said it would take 2x people. They were right 🤦‍♂️ * Totally did it by myself though with stubbornness and determination, and there weren't even any pieces left at the end! * Trying to get in shape for the upcoming races by running during the day and lifting weights in the evening. Hope it works! * * #dadlife #singledadlife #weights #weightlifting #weightbench #fitness #runner #runner5 #zombiesrun #zombiesrungame #runnersofinstagram #PathOfProgress https://www.instagram.com/p/But_dOsgkgI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qgwfb1njhf1n

2019 Run 4 Love 5K and 10K - You are the Key to my Heart! * Medal-A-Month Challenge: 3/12 * With all the rain, sleet, and snow lately I ran a virtual race for February. Logged the miles on a treadmill since last time I ran outdoors I slogged through 6 inches of ice-cold slush and forgot a spare pair of socks! * Note that this is actually 2 medals in 1, and I'm only counting it as one medal for February. However, I did run 15K so I could rightly earn them both! * * Medal photo by @moonjoggers * #valentinesday2019 #valentines #valentinesday #california #running #race #5k #10k #trailrunning #fitness #runner #runner5 #zr #zombiesrun #zombiesrungame #runnersofinstagram #optoutside #nature #PathOfProgress (at Mount Shasta, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt6yWBDAtea/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gyhr5vrjuwaq

6.30 mi in 59:10! * When the trails are covered in slush even I can appreciate a good session on a treadmill. It gives me a chance to focus on maintaining my pace over time, or do some speed work. * It's a very different experience than trail running though. There aren't any obstacles, no mud or snow, no hills, no animals, etc. Is it weird that I like #trailrunning better? * * #running #training #treadmill #fitness #runner #runner5 #zr #zombiesrun #zombiesrungame #runnersofinstagram #PathOfProgress (at Mt.

7 mile run around Lake Siskiyou! Every day is a new day! #running #trailrunning #fitness #Fitbit #zombiesrun #zrcasio #optoutside #outdoors #nature #PathOfProgress (at Lake Siskiyou Trail)

[arthurthebold]

Five miles on the Lake Siskiyou trail! The boys got to test drive their new bicycles while I got in my run. This was really a lesson in perspective for me. The boys took a lot of breaks, sometimes complaining, and I admittedly got frustrated at times. However, when we were done they said they'd had a great time and they thanked me a lot for taking them out. It was good for me to be reminded that sometimes the only difference between a good day and a bad day is my attitude. #adventure #simplyadventure #lifeofadventure #outdoors #explore #exploration #earnyourview #discoverearth #mountain #mountains #mountshasta #siskiyou #lake #lakesiskiyou #siskiyoucounty #california #running #trailrunning #fitness #runner #runner5 #zr #zombiesrun #zombiesrungame #runnersofinstagram #runnergram #optoutside #nature #PathOfProgress (at Lake Siskiyou Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwUoa-ogbyP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e8c7cpjndzce
