Engaged!
Wow! My boyfriend of a year and a half proposed last night--I'm over the moon! This gives me even more motivation to lead a healthy life and get in great shape.
I had a pretty good run yesterday, but wound up eating a huge dinner last night (the boy took me out). Today is a rest day from running, so I'm going to do my best to eat a reasonable amount of food.
I've noticed that as I increase my mileage, my appetite increases. Probably pretty normal, right? But I think that the amount I'm eating far outweighs the amount I'm burning with the running. Even though I'm sure some of the weight I've gained is muscle (you're right, weeble42), I haven't been losing fat and my pants are getting tighter and tighter. Not good!
To anyone who is very active, how do you handle the increased appetite? How do you make sure that you're getting enough nutrition to meet your body's needs, but also not using the fact that you're active as an excuse to eat whatever, whenever?
Happy Hump Day!
