Ravenous Hunger

It hits everyone eventually...the hunger.

Our coach warned us this first few weeks that we would be feeling fatigued and ravenously hungry. Fatigued...Check! But it wasn't until today that I really felt like downing everything in site. It didn't matter what I ate, nothing satisfied the beast.

Snack before run [5am]: almonds
Breakfast [7am]: Egg whites, salsa, and tortillas and a yogurt. (Yogurt is usually my morning snack)
Snack 2: Carrots, and apple [9:45am] (Usually my afternoon snack)
Snack 3: Oatmeal [10:25am] (I have a stash at my desk)
Lunch [11:30am]: 4 pieces of pizza!
Dinner: Not there yet, but thank goodness the pizza stuck.

In case you are wondering, this isn't dehydration...or my body telling me to drink more water. I am running a 5K on Saturday and I am drinking more water than I fish right now trying to stay hydrated. Really, I am talking over 80 oz of water or more at least, and that isn't counting the water during workouts or immediately after.

I wonder if I can count the calories I burn running to the bathroom and back to my desk all the time.
