Me Vs Not Eating Enough
July 23rd 2010 22:58
After chanting “ I’ll get up in a few minutes” over and over, I managed to roll out of bed with just enough time to get washed and dressed for work. On my way out the door patting myself down checking for keys, train pass and chap stick (sorry cant leave home without it) I heard the vow I made the night before, “Imma get up real early tomorrow morning and work out in the gym”. Once again sleep got the best of me!
While waiting for the next train I realized not only did I not have my daily dose of coffee I forgot my lunch and snacks too! So much for eating 4 times a day and I was off to such a great start too. 45 minutes later I reached my destination; it felt like I need a forklift to get my thighs up the steps. As I rounded the corner only minutes from my job stood a Starbucks “surely God loves me”. Cranky, tired, irritable and wishing I didn’t have to work today I down the cup of coffee convinced I can find my personality at the bottom of the cup. Turns out it made me a little less irritable and cranky but that customer service personality I was hoping to find was just not there.
It didn’t take long before the coffee started doing what it does best and I went running for the bathroom. Back at my desk I noticed that I was not as tired as I was but I still would’ve rather be at home. Facebook made the hours go by and my stomach stared screaming “FEED ME, FEED ME”. As much as I would like to say I made a healthy lunch decision I have to be honest and say I settled for a Caesar chicken wrap with fries and Pepsi. Not as bad as it could’ve been but not as good either. Then all the sudden I had what I had been searching for all day – ENERGY!
Could it be some truth to the eating 4-6 meals a day to boost your metabolism theory? Is it possible that my body had become dependent on 4 meals a day after only a few short days? If this is so, maybe there’s a chance I can eat my way to weight loss! I normally eat 1-2 meals a day, a bag of ships and lots of soda. I gave up on having energy a long time ago convinced that some people are born with it and others weren’t - I wasn’t. I may have lost the workout round but I just might be the come back kid when it comes to eating right!
