I went for a pretty long power walk today; H has been so stressed, it's stressing me out. Yesterday, though at least I ate plenty of extra snacks to make up for the hard exercise, which I will do today as well. I'm baking banana bread to have for breakfast in the morning, which is way more calories than poptarts and a banana (since I usually eat 2 slices). I really do miss pilates, and it's only been a couple of days!
Yesterday, I'm so proud, I did so well with intuitive eating and listening to my body even when it still kept telling me I was hungry and one part of me would think, what, still I'm hungry? I'd wait 5 min to make sure it wasn't just wanting to eat out of boredom and then eat some more. I kept telling myself the hard exercise and need to maintain and not lose weight does mean yes, I do actually need a higher intake than most women my age.
