This has to be one of the worse days I have had since starting. I just want to throw in the towel, and say enough. I don't care anymore. It was a really crappy day.
I got up and went swimming. I decided that I would swim four times a week, minimum no matter what, but when I got in I was finding it difficult swimming. Hard, tiring, fatiguing. You name it. But I did the work out I was planning and I got no cramps. The Zero Water probably helped.
But that was it for the day. We came up to GV, and I slept the whole way up, got up here and slept, then went to bed at 7:30 and slept until 8:30 the next morning. And in between the sleep all I wanted to do was eat. TH got dip and I wanted to take my finger and just dip it into the dip and eat it like that, then he had baked potatoes and all I wanted to do was grab it and eat it raw. Everything - anything I just wanted to eat. I didn't care if I didn't normally like it I wanted to eat it. Eat anything but those stupid shakes.
Dr. C told me that this intense hunger is probably from low blood sugar, and I should eat another product, which I did, and it did not help. If I was a drug addict I would have been on the phone to my sponsor last night. It was that bad.
If every time I do a normal swimming workout this happens, I won't make it through the next ten weeks. But I don't want to give up swimming. But I really can't go through what I went through yesterday. And even eating an extra product did not help, so...I just don't know what to do.
Other exercise doesn't do this to me, so maybe I should give up swimming until this is over. Oh who knows.

Try an extra bar AND an extra product.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the home made dip for your craving - I made it for the baked potato since I thought it would be less caloric than butter.
I put in LOTS of olives so that I hoped my tuna wouldn't seem too tempting. I can relate to hunger since I was starving when I went grocery shopping - bought some junk that I should toss.
Hope my leg gets better soon so that we can go walking together.
