Doodlehead's Journal, 03 Aug 10

I discovered something about exercise & appetite. After 3 days of being a blob, I was amazed at the increase in hungry when I am NOT exercising.
Exercising seems to decrease my appetite for some reason. I'm not exactly sure what the deal is. I'm sure it's well known, and I'm just oblivious, but what my body seems to tell me is-- it needs energy. Though energy is needed to exercise, somehow exercise also makes me feel like I have more energy. So I can get energy through food and/or exercise. If I don't exercise then my body asks for the additional energy boosts through food.

Have no idea really, I'm just makin' stuff up here--- but that's just what my body feel like it's tellin' me.

Well, life has been rather smooth. We are still pretty broke, but there are some hopeful prospects and so we just keep movin' on.

My folks are doing okay. For some reason, my dad's memory is starting to fall back again, but there could be a few explanations to that. We'll see.

In the meantime, I'm just happy that the "now" is peaceful.

Happened to me too! The hunger was far more sudden and intense. I discovered afterwards that this happens due to the increase in metabolism from exercizing and the way I'd changed my eating habits.

Thanks Gabriel! So an increase in metabolism helps decrease hunger? Just another reason to exercise even when I don't want to so that I can beat the cravings and needless hunger. Nice!
