Post-Workout Eating

I made four loops around the Panhandle this morning. That's half a loop more than my longest route, though I did walk some of it. I'm still proud though.

I started the morning off at my house by eating a Kashi Tasty Little Chewy bar. I don't usually eat anything before heading off for my morning exercise routine. I usually wake up, drink as much water as I think I can handle and need, get dressed, and leave; that's it. But, this morning, I woke up hungry and thought a little something in my belly would help. So, I ate my little Kashi bar before I started my way up to the Panhandle.

My four loops were slow-going but going nonetheless. The sun was out and it was warm, so I made sure to drink from the water fountain after every loop. I got passed by a number of people, but I didn't care. My form was better and my feet just kept moving me forward.

Walking back home, I was starving. I wanted to forgo the post-jog stretching for post-jog eating. But, I thought better of it. I stretch but didn't do my strength training routine, showered, and ate a bowl of Heart to Heart with soy milk. I was still hungry so I ate another, though smaller bowl of cereal.

I spent the rest of the day hungry for whatever reason and eating. I ate a polish dog, a handful of chocolate, a Morning Star veggie patty with a piece of whole wheat toast, a large bowl of udon with spinach and tofu, cheese and crackers, and a piece of toast with peanut butter. It was ridiculous how much I ate. I know I didn't work out that hard or burned that many calories to warrant all that eating.
