My hunger levels today were considerably less then yesterday. I neither felt full nor starving until about 5:39pm. I had a coffee to quell any rumbles and to get me through to my 7pm workout. I finally picked up my extra resistance band in order to promote better form during the front arm raises and the DaVinci's. The band is "heavy". I have been using an "extra heavy" band which didn't make for the best form. I was happy to discover they are still hard and I was able to achieve the burning sensation we are looking for because I actually had control over the band. Another great workout tonight.
As far as the sunchokes go....Success! They are very tasty and I'll be eating them at least once a week while their in season. The sunchokes were baked in the oven just like a potato and had a light nutty flavor.
One last thought for today. I noticed something last night. I wasn't thirsty. Yes, I've been drinking the recommended amount of water a day but before the PCP I was a very thirty person. I was always drinking water and felt a thirst inside me for liquid. Now, it's not there. I haven't had salt for three weeks and I really enjoy not being thirsty like I was in the past. Self awareness is usually never good news but sometimes it's a ray of sunchoke or errr...sunshine.
And what does a cute baby elephant have to do with all this?...well, you decide.
That cute baby elephant has EVERYTHING to do with it!
ReplyDeleteI think that baby elephant looks kind of demented.
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll. I think the elephant would be difficult/ if not impossible to stop - just like you (and our group)
ReplyDeleteI had not connected the salt and the thirst. I have added a little more coffee around mid day but aside from that am water water water
I am always sipping a cup of lukewarm tea all day at work, but yeah now that you mention it the serious drop in salt intake (not like I had that much before PCP) must be affecting thirst. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteAnd Elephant = Big Opportunity in my industry, so a baby elephant means the start of something big!
