No Food Wednesdays!

DateWednesday, March 2, 2011 at 8:33AM

No, not really!  

I have a family history of colon cancer, so I have to eat nothing but clear fluids and authorized foods before my colonoscopy checkup tomorrow.  It sucks not being able to eat as much, but you do learn how much control you can actually have over what you put in mouth when it counts.  

So far today I have eaten a single-serving Jello, a cup of coffee, three scoops of Carbo-Pro, and a tall-boy of Amy and Brian's coconut juice.  We will have to see how long I can go before I eat my chair.

My understanding is that the hormone cortisol kicks in after you get hungry enough.  It's what gives you the senstation of, "I got so hungry that I wasn't even hungry anymore."  It turns off the hunger pangs so that you aren't miserable and lets you go on with your life until you find food.  The body is pretty cool!

I still cranked out a decent swim this morning (4000 yds.) and plan on running this evening.  It should be an interesting experiment in fueling.
