What a weekend. On Sat I did the workout with L and then got ready to meet up with some people from work. What a crazy time we had and then after shutting down the bar we went and ate pizza. That was not the end though as I got to take the leftover pizza home. I ended up eating pizza all weekend. Man, I think I'm calling pizza my new krytonite. It used to be cookies, but now it's pizza. Also it was a late night and I ended up sleeping until 11am. So my day was a bit compressed. I still went to the gym though and did my usual grocery run. I did skip a few around the house chores. Still got the coming weeks worth of lunch materials together and am continuing the trend from last week, sandwiches.
Something came up when I was eating my after workout meal (which I will describe in a bit). As I took the first couple of mouthfuls the deliciousness of the food was intense. It made me think about the fact that after I was done eating this meal that was it no more and yet I know for a fact that when I'm finished my brain will be wanting to achieve that first bite all over again. So I'll feel that I'm not full and still hungry. I've talked about this before, the satisfied feeling that turns into thinking I'm still hungry. When I mentioned this before I'd figured out that if I could wait a bit I'd get past that still hungry feeling. This time though it's more of a conclusion as to why that feeling happens. Seriously, think about it. When you're eating something really delicious you want it to last forever because once it's gone, the feeling is like a lover spurning your advances. Okay a bit over the top but I think the analogy is fairly accurate. I also look at this thinking as ammunition in the battle of the bulge. The more we know about how our bodies react to food the easier it is to fight the good fight.
Breakfast: Cherry Pie Larabar and 20oz of cold water.
After workout meal: The second half of the "healthy" burrito from last nights dinner mixed with a couple of eggs and baked in the oven. Of course that wasn't enough so I dipped into the pizza box and had two slices. This was a late lunch as I didn't get out of bed until 11am and then went to the gym and did my grocery shopping. So I ended up only having two actual meals.
Dinner: I bet you can't guess what I had for dinner? And the prize goes to...Pizza. There are four pieces left. I'm going to just do it and eat them all, so I don't have to think about pizza anymore. Here's an interesting side note, I only ate three of the slices. I was going for the fourth one and realized I wasn't hungry for more. I did eat some of the quinoa I'd cooked up for the coming week, later in the evening but more of a snack.
