I had a long practice today and am as hungry as a horse!
I fence on a semi-full stomach - too little and I am non-functional, too much and I'm weighted down. Most practices are in the evening after a modest dinner, but Sunday mornings I start on a bowl of oatmeal and am ready to hoover when I get out!
Problem - huge Valentine's breakfast and dinner yesterday woke me up with a stomachache so I'm resisting the urge to order a giant greasy pizza or something similar. Officially, we're having leftovers tonight, but after a modest peanut butter sandwich and a hot chocolate I'm sitting here craving red meat.
Which is unusual - I don't eat a lot of beef, and when I do, not much, but after I've been active for several hours what I really want is a rare steak and a salad (not feasible, and probably more food than I can actually eat).
I'm being sensible right now because I know how miserable I can make myself when my eyes are bigger than my stomach, but I feel like a hungry animal growling in a corner...
