Fitness 4:Life

Well, I was expecting to write another post a few hours after my cycling spree (down AND uphill) saying that I was totally exhausted. That I'd got cramp in my fingers playing the piano that night, and got pain in muscles that I didn't even know I had.

But that didn't happen. The consequences of my foray into physical exercise are much worse.

I'm hungry.

For various reasons, for the last 3 months or so I've been off my food a bit.
Not starving, just not eating 3 meals a day when I only fancy brunch and a light dinner. I'd got a little bit podgy anyway so it was no bad thing...

But since going cycling (and remember, we're only talking one occasoin) it's like a switch has been turned on. I've been really really hungry.

Physiologically, it's understandable, you use up energy, your body wants to replace it. But, for example, I cooked a pasta dish large enough to last me at least 2 meals, and I ate the whole lot non-stop, standing up in the kitchen without even serving it out of the pan!

I have just been pigging. I even got up during dinner to get a drink and managed to eat several handfuls of peanuts before I'd sat back down again!


So either I have to find a way of limiting this hunger or, heaven forbid, start doing more exercise.


Life is so unfair... *
