Why am I so hungry????
This is annoying. I am so damned hungry and I feel like I have eaten a house today and it has not really helped! I guess I really have not eaten all that much - breakfast, lunch, and a snack - but I seriously feel like I could eat two more lunches. Okay so I say that but now I am starting to feel a little bit full as I just finished lunch about 2 minutes ago. Sometimes it just takes a minute. Thank heavens, I think my manager would think I am going to explode if I ate another thing today!
So yesterday at around 3:00 I drove to the gym, getting a wonderful speeding ticket on the way, and ran an extra 4 mile run just for fun. I felt pretty good and watched Dr Phil which I had never really watched and maybe it's just the closed captioning but I thought it was kind of funny! What kind of person would go on his show knowing he will just yell at them the whole time? Strange.
This morning I planned to get up and run but I didn't sleep well at all last night so I just stayed in bed. I am still kind of tired so I am hoping to get some good rest tonight and tomorrow night. I was going to run after work but then I figured lunchtime would be a more efficient use of time although I could not get out of here for long enough until about 1:30 pm. I drove up to my high school which is very close to here for a run at the resevoir which was really nice although I thought it was going to be really cold - however in reality it was quite warm. So warm in fact that I made ghetto shorts out of my pants. The resevoir is a great place to run although in the winter/spring it is muddy. It's a great place to spot deer and today I saw 4 of them. That is definitely something that never gets old!
So I felt all right although in spite of eating breakfast and a snack I felt a little bit weak and light-headed in spots. I really do not understand this but I guess I'll try to eat more when I'm hungry even though I am still definitely full-figured for being a middle-mileage type of runner. I ended up with 7 miles for the day and I do not think I'll be running again later although I might go to the gym and lift weights to avoid traffic. My fantastic boyfriend is cooking dinner tonight so all I have to do is show up! How great is that. I am pretty sure I'll be starving for whatever he makes!

Thank you for giving me a name for what it is when you roll up your pants because you're hot! We were talking at work today about fashion and one of the things we were talking about is what the meaning of rolling up one leg or the other is (related to drugs) so I guess that you were both looking and selling!

There's a good chance that you're so hungry because you're not eating enough! However, you may want to examine WHAT you're eating, too. Word is that more protein will make you feel more full. I've found this to be the case sometimes - so maybe you'd want to try snacks/meals with a little more protein?
Good for you for getting out and doing nine miles this morning (2/24). It's days like this - when your legs feel flat - that it's hardest to get psyched about running. Have fun tonight!
