That is great! How inspiring. I find that exercise also has that effect on me. I think "Did I really work that hard just so I could have a cookie and break even?" (sometimes the answer is YES if it is a good cookie!) That pasta sounds yummy, I'll bet it was worth waiting and saving your grain serving for. Not to mention the good feeling your choice gave you!
appetite changing already with excercise
It's only been about a week or so that I've been eating well - keeping track of what I eat: 5 grains, 5 veggies, 3 protein, 4 fruit, 3 dairy, 4 fats, and exercising. I used to have the capacity to eat a lot, even if I wasn't necessarily hungry. Well, since I'm having to eat more veggies, I'm full more.
Today I had my lunch, cereal & milk, then I was at the store and thought I wanted more food. So I got a little bowl of soup and a small baguette to bring back to my office. And some tea. I drank the tea and ate a piece of the baguette. Then I didn't even want the soup or the rest of the baguette. I thought that if I ate the rest of the baguette that would be wasting my grain servings and then I couldn't have my angel hair pasta with shredded zucchini and garlic for dinner which is so yummy.
This might not seem like a big deal, but it is huge for me to not just eat everything because it is there.
