Day 579 - Yikes

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.

  1. Try an extra bar AND an extra product.

    Sorry 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.

  2. Not to be a pain in the ass with all the answers or anything, but DRINK MORE WATER!
