Another 220 day. I was worried that it would go up since it dropped so quickly. I can only describe yesterday as a contrast of empty and full. As soon as I finished blogging yesterday I started studying for an assignment that was due last night at 11pm. I even took pages I printed off to study- into the gym with me. Since I only had one packet of oatmeal yesterday morning, I started feeling really hungry after only 40 minutes of working out. I wanted to keep going for another 40 minutes or so, but decided it would be better to fuel my body than starve it. I went home and had a shake and studied some more while stretching.
Since the car is dying I walked to work (and it was a beautiful day). Work was very busy. We had a lot of catching up to do, so I really just focused on getting things done quickly. Every hour or two my stomach would ask why I hadn't fed it enough yet and I would keep throwing things into it like jerky at 1:00pm, a fiber bar around 3:00pm, all the while sucking down large quantities of water not typical of a 500 calorie burn in the gym.
After walking home I really wanted to go back to the gym and round out my day with 200 to 300 more calories off, but instead continued reading my chapter and doing my assignments. It's a good thing I did, since I only finished my homework at 10:55pm. Once again I was VERY hungry and threw together some milk and protein powder to let my stomach know I still cared.
Now that it's a new day, I'm hoping to not experience as much hunger. Starting the day with 2 packets of oatmeal so I can do a good, long workout. Todays goal is 1200 calories to burn or about 2.5 hours of gym. 1.5 before work, .5 after, as well as walking to and from work.
