Okay, I need some help. For the next 7 weeks I have Monday night workouts with my new trainer. I'm so a morning workout girl. I think that morning workouts rock for several reasons: I'm more motivated fresh out of bed, it makes my day better, I workout better/longer, I have more energy and I can actually commit to not being busy then.
Only Pete and I are sharing a trainer. I head there right after work and my workout is 5:15(ish) to 5:45. Since Pete isn't working, he takes the 30 minutes before me. So, uh, what do I do about dinner? Last night we ended up going to Subway across from the gym and bringing it home and eating. It was good. I intellectually crave light meals after a workout because it seems strange to workout hard and counteract it with a heavy meal. After eating, we decided to head back to the gym and use the spa and the sauna. We ended up there until 8 and by the time we got home and settled in, it was 8:30. By bedtime at 10pm I was a bit hungry. I ate some nuts. I woke up at midnight and my stomach sounded like there was a herd of dinosaurs in it rumbling around. I was H.U.N.G.R.Y! And I woke up starving this morning.
So what do I do? How do I combat this hunger? Or do I just live with it? My hunger button is off naturally because I wasn't listening to it for so long when I was just eating whatever, whenever. Is this what it's supposed to be like?
If it helps, in the future, Pete and I would like to workout until 5:45 and head directly to the spa/sauna for 30 minutes afterwards and then eat something.
I'm welcoming any ideas!
I always eat a filling snack before the workout - apple with pb, orange and string cheese, yougurt and nuts. And then I prepare a quick dinner afterwards - chicken and rice and veggies, egg white omlette, soup and salad. It sucks eating late, but that's usually what ends up happening. Imagine if you ALSO had your am workouts?!?? I would LOVE to workout 2x/day!!
