mariahgem's Journal, 17 March 2010

Need to make a quick journal entry. So last weekend I had such high calorie intakes because my Russell came home for the weekend! It'd been 3 weeks since I'd seen him, so I threw caution to the wind. We wanted pizza and ice cream and I totally don't regret it!

Although! I have to say eating a lot after not eating a lot messed up my system! My body suddenly wasn't ready for so much food! I'm now used to little meals all through the day, and my body likes it! But sitting down to a big breakfast, and before soon, a BIG lunch... it, for lack of a better term, overloaded the system! My stomach wasn't even ready for all the food!

Anyway. So I'm recovering, but my Monday weigh in was SO OFF, I couldn't record it here. I'm sure I was still full of food.

And now that I'm back on track, I'm facing another issue. The issue cropped up back in January when I first tried to do the 30 Day Challenge. When I get about 1/2 way through the Challenge, I start getting more muscular, and my muscles start getting, like, hard, which is cool, but I start getting RAVENOUS.

I mean ravenous like a 16 year old! Crazy. Last time I did the Challenge I didn't monitor my food intake, but I did monitor my weight. I remember starting to eat a lot more but still losing weight, so who knows what'll happen.

Now that this time I'm recording every food, I know I'll be loathe to go over my food limit. But if I am out of control hungry... we'll see. If it means more muscle, then it's probably worth it!

Sounds like your body is craving protein to repair the muscles you've been using! If you include plenty of tuna/other fish/lean chicken with lunches and dinners - try and get protein to 30% or more in your calory pie chart - that should satisfy the cravings and see you through the challenge. Have just been having the same issue and sought advice at my gym. Am struggling to eat as much as the (for my situation) suggested 130g protein a day. Good luck!
