An interesting thing about how I feel cold all the time - when I overeat and binge and eat way more calories than my body needs (a number that makes me gain weight), I am not nearly as cold. Where a normal room temp for me would be 79 degrees, when I overeat I am comfortable at 73-75. Truly weird but it does appear that my metabolism picks up just a bit when I eat something like 5000 calories. Of course, it doesn't pick up enough to burn off all those extra calories.

Last week I had a horrible week food-wise. Thursday turned into a full-on binge, and Saturday turned the same way. I ended up at 7-11 late last night eating a donut twist and a package of chocolate mini donuts. The mini donuts ad 360 calories (60 calories per mini donut!), 22g of fat (15g saturated), and 37g net carbs. Yike! So I didn't weigh-in Sunday, and with my trip to Oregon this coming week I likely won't weigh-in next week either.

The overtime last week wore me out. I didn't go to the gym yesterday and Brad woke me up at 1 p.m.! I guess I was tired! I don't know when I got to bed and sleep but I figure I slept 11-13 hours!

Today I did make it to the gym and had a good workout. I did one hour of upper body weight training followed by 30 minutes of running on the treadmill at 5.2mph. I felt really good other than the fact that I used to be able to maintain a faster pace. I walked in to work from BART, another 30 minutes.

I am taking tomorrow off due to having to get up at 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday. I hope to make it to the gym tomorrow and do the packing that I need to. I'll only be gone 36 hours so I'll just leave two full bowls of food out of the cats. The fish will be okay as she fasts once a week anyway.

I won't be posting for the next week but I do have two posts written that will automatically post while I am gone. There's a fun diet quiz and a book review for The Thyroid Diet. Watch for those! :)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding and in all your way acknowledge him and he will direct your path.
