    I am not an animal person, but I do enjoy waking up to birdsong in the morning.

    On an ambient level, I love being able to hear the birds better these days too ( in the morning and watching their back-yard antics through the day, and on our evening strolls)

    Pass #2, since I started running, I'm just starving. I'm eating the exercise calories, but it just doesn't seem like enough. I'm gonna try a different mix of foods to see if I can eat more filling things.

    maybe up your relative proportion of protein? (from your food / settings tab you can adjust the macro % portions of carbs vs fat vs protein, MFP will prompt to make sure you wind up at 100% across the three in the end

    My favorite would be the Eagle. It's unimaginable strong and beautiful. And it also reminds me of one of my favorite biblical quotations: Isaiah 40:31 - But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

    @Anya_000
    A nutrition teacher told us to eat a couple of whole wheat crackers *right after*!we finish exercising. I’ve found this advice helps. Something about supplying glucose quickly to muscles to replenish them. Doesn’t take much. And let’s your body know it’s not in starvation mode. Then when we got home have some protein or a glass of milk. Finally hydrate hydrate hydrate - when u first wake up 16 oz water minimum- ideally before you get out of bed. And continue all day long (sipping is actually best!)

    Weigh yourself before you run & when you return. You should be hydrating enuf that your weight is not down after the run. Especially if it’s hot, you may need more than you think. Water is what enables the chemical reactions that break down the nutrients of our foods and allows them to be delivered where they are needed.

    Finally, I’m not sure if you are maintaining or losing, but I have up’d my calories sometimes even by 1-200 calories on very heavy exercise days & I have still maintained.

    I want to be sure my body has what it needs to build those muscles!!!

    Best,
    Maddie!!
