I would continue the cross training as long as you allow yourself rest days. I became injured last year training for a marathon with NO cross training...I'm doing zumba & strength-training now and find that it helps my running form and I think I'm less injury prone now.

Sometimes I'll go for a hot chocolate or eat some dark chocolate with sea salt if it is a really bad craving. I'll have a small piece or 2 with some low-fat milk & that helps me not eat a bunch at a time. These are also amazing & healthy (but I haven't figured out how many calories they have yet):…
