Yeah sorry! I usually try to not mention the offending foods here. I know when I'm reading other people's diaries and they mention some particular kind of food, I suddenly want it. But would not have thought about it otherwise.
Well I didn't see a donut smiley, or anything worse, so you're good!
The workout went ok yesterday. I felt great for the first 45 mins (out of 2 hours), because for once I wasn't lugging huge amounts of food around in my system, trying to digest it while doing the exercise. I took a couple of Gu packets with me plus frozen water (which thaws perfectly over the 2 hours). Turns out I should probably have taken the frozen gatorade instead for the extra calories, and 2 more Gu packets, as I started to feel a bit weak when I got to the mid point and had already downed the energy gels. I thought I'd have trouble getting back to my car if I pushed it more than that. I just about had enough energy to get back to my car + orange juice. So this'll be an adjustment - to be ready with the energy gels sooner, and have more of them with me. I ate some kind of weird sesame cracker I got from REI right before setting off, that was supposedly 250 cals, but sure didn't feel like it. I don't think it helped me at all. Plus I almost broke some teeth trying to eat it (too expensive!).
Oddly enough after this kind of exercise I'm usually ravenous, but last night I really couldn't tell if I was hungry or not, so I didn't eat much. I had one of the 350 cal meals plus a snack but that was it. But then of course I woke up suddenly at 4am last night absolutely starving.
Honestly, I'm either 100% hungry all the time, or 100% can't tell if I'm hungry or not. So, I'm either overweight or rather skinny. But it has been about 6 years since I could be described as skinny, so I've been 100% hungry that whole time.
And anyway, being an older female now, I really don't want to be all that skinny as my face'll cave in.
I'd just like to be within a healthy range again. I'm not that far off it but I do have to get back there.
Today again I was expecting to be ravenous but again, was able to hold off until a meal time, and not overeat or eat too quickly. I'm being so sensible around food right now I don't recognize myself. I hope it lasts for 90 days (85 to go!).
I'm going to do some weights now.
