As we know life does not slow down for us! I have been juggling workouts with work. Trying to get enough sleep and take in proper calories and nutrition. I have been preparing for a 5K and hoping to finish faster than I did last time. At times I am so hungry I can't stand it. There are days that I burn 700-900 calories in training. That makes me hungry. I try and eat more protein and fiber to stay full, but that does not always work. Yesterday I did 3.68 miles and burned 700 calories on my morning workout and spent the day starving. I had whole grain cream of wheat with a banana pre work out 174 cal, 1 egg 1 slice whole wheat toast 2 slices lean bacon unsweetened ice tea post workout lunch 300 calories, fuji apple 70 calories snack, 1/2 lean hamburger patty grilled on 1/2 wheat bun with tomato, lettuce, dill pickle, mustard, sliced potato oven fries 354 cal dinner, almonds 127 cal snack. I was so hungry all artfully that I could have mowed through the kitchen all day. It was a good thing that we were not home! I am just so frustrated. I just don't know what to do to keep the hunger away. I fear that I will fall. I don't like that. I do not want to blow it. This might be normal to some who are used to working out. I am not that person. So what does a chronic over eater do in this situation? The old me would have just said screw it and headed for the drive thru line, but I am not the old me. I am however still learning. I will always be fighting.
Tomorrow it is going to be cold in the morning so I am going to the gym. I will be doing 3 miles on the elliptical. I am hoping to run outside by Thursday so that I will be better prepared for Saturday. My goal is 55 minutes. That is doable. The next will be May 14 and I hope that by that one I will down 12 pounds and I will finish in 47 minutes.
I am challenging you to set a goal, just a short term goal. Make it realistic then strive to achieve it.
While you are reaching your goal keep moving!
