Couple of questions ~
1. Is it reasonable to be quite hungry because I rode 45 minutes on my exercise bike? I don't know if this is physiological or psychological. For 2 days I've been HUNGRY and it just so happens I've also just started exercising in the past two days. Today, 2 hours after exercising I was so hungry, first I tried a protein bar, next air popped popcorn, then saw Granddaughter#6 eating sugary cereal and decided to give up and eat that for dinner...NOT what I had planned...hmmm just occurred to me as I was journaling, family dinner plans changed at the last minute. Perhaps that added to the off-meal-plan-eating.
2. I am uh...um...saddle sore. Is it better to refrain from biking for a day or so to let...um...things settle down? Or should I ride for less time for a while to build up...um...pain resistance? Or should I power through the pain and assume it will go away as I become accustomed to riding?
I'd value some advice.

After more thought, I'm sure my dinner plans being changed at the last minute had everything to do with going off-plan. If I had dinner made like I would normally do there is no way I would have been interested in that cereal. But since I wasn't fixing dinner for everyone, I just got lazy and opted for the quick pick me up. One good thing is I won't have sugary cereal in the house after this weekend because DS#6's family will be moving out.

1- i think it may be sugar levels rather than the exercise causing u hunger pains...
2-i got a real bike with a real comfy seat--far less boring---try a diff seat from walmart---also i stretch before and after i bike for at least ten minutes

It could be a number of things. It could be blood sugar levels but increased exercise can stimulate the metabolism. Your body may want more fuel. Listen to your body, but give it good stuff like protein, vegetables, fruit, etc. I have also heard thirst can mask as hunger so make sure you are staying hydrated too.

try something like a Cliff Bar for energy about an hour before cardio... that has 10g protein, but the rest is good carbs to fuel your workout. Remember that if you are doing cardio, it doesn't matter if you eat those cals back, because cardio is the gift that keeps on giving, long after the workout is over, in the form of increased metabolism and heart health! If you do any resistance training that taxes your muscles, same bar after the workout will restore muscle glycogen levels.

Thanks CK, I'll try that. I've been nervous about those clif bars because of the carbs and calories. It's good to think about "the gift that keeps on giving". I appreciate your input!
