I forgot about this. The cravings. The felt need/want to eat more and to eat sugar and carbohydrates.
I've picked up running again. Somehow or other I think I've lost my tennis shoes (maybe I left them in the back offices of Look Up? They are Nike, grey and orange if anyone notices...) and it's been the biggest blessing for my athletic activity. Except playing tennis. That's more difficult. Chacos ain't made for that.
A couple Saturdays ago, I had been sitting around reading, dog-park-going, and sitting all day and noticed that because it was rested my hamstring wasn't the least bit sore. I says to myself, I says, "I'ma gointa run!"
No tennis shoes...Five-Fingers it is then. My gosh, what a difference! Because of the way the Unshoe is made, it reminds you to run more naturally and toward the ball of your foot rather than the heel. That being so, the act of running puts almost all of the stress on the calves and NOT the hamstring.
Glory be! This means that even on the days my hamstrings hurts from fatigue, I can run because the pressure is on a different muscle. This means that I'm not in danger of further injuring myself.
This means I'm very much in danger of eating myself out of house and home. I love to run. I love to eat. Running means I can eat more without getting more of me. Eating more means buying more food. Buying more food means buying less of something else. Most of my something-elses are also necessities, so...
If anyone has suggestions for super-filling super-cheap foods...I'm all ears, er, eyes.
yay running!
ReplyDeletepasta. cheap and filling.
and I haven't seen your shoes.
Carrots and potatoes baby, carrots and potatoes. Well I don't know if carrots are any more filling than any other vegetable. But they are cheap, so you can eat a greater volume of them for cheaper, in theory :) homemade bread is actually quite cheap to make once you've invested in the ingredients, and it's also FUN!
