UNCONTROLLABLE HUNGER.
That has been an issue recently. I've just been so fricking hungry. Every time I turn around, I need to eat something. And it's not an emotional, I'm lacking something hunger, it's an honest to God I need to eat hunger. My stomach is rumbling and growling. You know those hot dog commercials where the giant, muscular arm reaches out of someone's stomach and shoves a hot dog down their throat? THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME.
It's over the top. And annoying. Because I rarely reach for something good in these cases. A cold piece of pizza or a bowl of ice cream seems to really hit the spot. I was out of apples. Also, apples make me hungrier. Basically, what this all boils down to is that I have to work harder in the gym. Dammit.
And I think that the problem boils down to: I'm hungrier because my body needs the calories because I'm burning them so quickly. As I go from cardio to lifting, my heart rate stays elevated so I keep burning calories AND I'm building muscle so there's a deficit somewhere, I think. I just don't know that I know where. And always being hungry is crappy.
I don't know what to do. Help.
I guess that I should just be stoked that I'm getting smaller even if my weight isn't going down. Right? Someone tell me that I'm right.
Gym was 35 on the old Hell Machine and then legs. But everything was all out of order because the machines were busy. Some dude was doing his calves for an hour, i swear to God. I was fricking annoyed. By the time I got to it, I forgot to do my lats. Which is fine, I guess. But still annoying. All told, I did the sled, calves, two other things that work the whole leg, abductor and adductor. Plus abs. Those killed today.

Something that I've been doing recently is eating five small meals a day instead of three. That way there's less time between meals. And you can eat heaps of veggies without adding too many calories to your meal. I find that filling up on heaps of veggies helps, and I just roast them with salt and pepper to make them taste nice :)
ReplyDeleteFrom what you've documented in your meals today, it looks like your meals are a little evening heavy. Eating more in the morning and afternoon means you're less likely to get hungry during the rest of the day, or that's how it seems to work for me.
Hope this helps! Seems like you're doing really well so far :)
