I've heard other people talk about how they get incredibly hungry during marathon training. I've trained for four marathons and never really understood what they were talking about. Apparently it kicks in when training for the fifth marathon.
I am starving. All. The. Time. Seriously famished. I eat until I can't eat any more. Then once the full feeling subsides, it turns directly in to ravenous hunger. There is no grace period where I feel blissfully and comfortably satiated.
The only good thing I can say is that this crazy hunger didn't kick in until this week. With only a little over three weeks to go, I'm hoping I can keep things under control and not gain any weight. So far I've been able to curb my hunger (so very temporarily) with a snack like a boiled egg when I really just wanted to down an entire bag of cheese puffs (and I don't even like cheese puffs!). And I had a smoothie for breakfast when I could have inhaled an entire box of cereal.
So yes, this week the thing I'm loving more than usual is food.
What are you loving?
