When I was in the outpatient program three months ago, they switched my meds around. One of the new meds they put me on was Abilify. I'd been on Abilify before, and it caused pretty bad food cravings to the point where I gained a lot of weight. (This was before I started exercising regularly). I agreed to go back on Abilify because I felt I was in a much better place with diet and exercise, so I might be able to avoid the weight gain this time. Well, unfortunately I may have been wrong.
The cravings are REALLY bad. I just want to eat and eat and eat, I'm never satisfied anymore. I'm even waking up in the middle of the night to eat. I can't seem to control it.
I had been able to stave off any weight gain for the first three months, but now it seems to be getting out of hand. Even with all the running I do, I've put on four pounds. Yeah, it's not a lot, but it scares me because the scale is going up, and could continue to go up if I don't get a handle on the cravings.
I don't really want to go off the Abilify because it's what's keeping me stable right now. What I need to do is get a handle on the food cravings and get myself back to eating within my allotted calories. But this is going to be a huge task. Running will help, but ultimately it's up to me to limit my food intake.
This post is kind of a half-vent, half-seeking advice. Does anyone else get bad cravings? If so, what do you do to keep them at bay? I've started chewing gum a lot, which helps during the day, but my big problem is at night when it seems like all bets are off and my willpower just flies out the window. What to do then?
I can't afford to gain weight. I've come so far with my weight loss, and it would kill me to gain it back. Plus it would make running a lot harder to do.
I've made an appointment with my doctor to talk about this, but it's not for a couple weeks because he's on vacation right now. I'm seeing my therapist tonight to talk about it. I have plenty of treatment options, so I'm not alone, but I just thought I'd throw this our there and see if anyone has any advice.
@RespectTheKitty I took a 6 months course of prednisone to treat an autoimmune disorder a few years ago. I feel ya' on the cravings. Medication induced hunger SUCKS! I did end up gaining weight but it was worth it in the long run to feel better. Some of the things that helped me:- Sparkling water with flavoring. The bubbles would make me feel full longer.
- Hot tea or bone broth would kill my cravings for a little while. Something about hot liquids on the stomach kill my cravings.
- Eat frequent small meals instead of 3 large meals.
- Always keep cut up fruits and veggies with you for a quick snack. The high fiber and water foods will fill you up faster with less calories.

I use MapMyRun. I like their guided training plans. I am doing their 1/2 marathon training plan right now.1 -

As I understand it, they work better when your skin is moist, so at the beginning of your run, you might not be getting a good connection to your body, yielding the same basic problem as the loose wrist monitor. Dunno, that is third-hand info as I have no experience to call on. Something to keep in mind and watch I think.0 -

I'm sorry not to comment on everyone's updates - I know there was a snake, and a fall, and not feeling well, and being really hungry. Hope everyone recovers well from all those things. Regarding the food cravings, I also was going to recommend cut up veggies in big quantities and maybe a little bit of your favorite dip or dressing to go with them. I also feel like eating protein helps me feel more satisfied when I get those insatiable hunger pangs. Maybe a boiled egg, some peanut butter (measured out), some tuna or something?

Goal = 110 miles
I'm back from my Iowa trip and was happy to arrive home to MUCH cooler weather. I was kind of chilly when I got off the plane last night! I didn't get a run in yesterday because of the travel. Tonight I went to group workout and we did short intervals. 60-90-30 seconds with 90 seconds recovery between for 3 sets, then 2 more sets of that with only 30 seconds between. Plus 4 sprints and warm-up and cool-down came to 6 miles for me. I was really fading in the last set but overall it felt good to workout again.

Real Goals: Stay healthy. Train toward Rochester Marathon. Pace Shoreline Half as close as possible to a 1:40 finish with even splits. Run Karknocker 5K in under 20 minutes.
Today's notes – The weather returned to form today, 75º F (24º C) with 65% relative humidity. Went to the group run because I thought it would be more fun that taking today as a rest day and doing a set of 15 second cutbacks between a warmup and cool down tomorrow. I'll take tomorrow as a rest day.
The group run today came with a demo of Hoka One One shoes and GU Toasted Marshmallow flavor. The conversation with the Hoka rep went a little differently than they usually do:
Me: I'll start with the question that eliminates all the other questions. Got any shoes in size 14?
Rep: I *do* have a pair in size 14.
Me: Oh. That leads to other questions. What shoe is it?
Rep: The Clifton 4, it's new. And it's a neutral shoe, like the Kinvaras you're wearing.
Me: What's the heel drop?
Rep: 4 or 5 mm.
Me: It's worth trying them.
So I experienced Hoka One One for the first time in my life. The pair I used had not been worn before. I adjusted the lacing the same way I would for a new pair of Kinvaras, and the shoe uppers fit my feet pretty much like Kinvaras:
Standing up, I felt the wobble that anti-Hoka runners mentioned. Walking, I noticed the heel is trimmed to feel different from what I'm used to. How about running? Did a test jog up and down a lane of the parking lot, and they felt normal enough to wear on the run.
They sent us on an out and back, a familiar route to the Erie Canal Path, turn east, run to a familiar landmark, turn around and come back. This is a rare instance of my knowing exactly where I am going from before I start the group run. That was important, today.
Set out, and felt like I was running on springs. Boing, boing, boing. "The wunnerful thing about Tiggers, is Tiggers are wunnerful things!" Noticed that I was running ahead of the leader. Looked at my watch, and I'm only holding a pace of 8:20. Screw it. I know where I'm going, I'll just run.
So I ran down to the canal path, and essentially ran the planned route as a solo run. Had my Vivofit on my right wrist, so I could see my heart rate. Decided to back off whenever my heart rate went over 130, and mostly kept it lower other that a couple minor hills where the path had to go up at locks on the canal. Saw a faster guy going out when I first started back. Hey, Ben, why aren't you ahead of me? I think he started later.
Going back, it was more downhill. Heart rate stayed under control, pace was a little faster. I mostly paid attention to heart rate, pace, and how the shoes felt. Ended up with an average pace of 7:39 per mile, average heart rate of 127, max heart rate of 136. It's harder than one might think to back off enough to bring the heart rate down, but I managed okay.
Verdict on the shoes: After I got to the canal path, the "boing, boing" feeling faded into the background and I just ran. It felt pretty normal most of the time. I noticed it was much better cushioning for downhill running than the Kinvaras, and I seemed to have less feel and control when running on grass or trail. If I could guarantee a run would be all asphalt and concrete, I think I might prefer the Hokas.
Got back, and thought about it. Have to look at the price, and decide whether they're economical enough to be worth buying. Then there was a raffle for a free pair of shoes, and they drew my ticket. What model do you want? The same one I demoed, thank you very much. Assuming the rep can read my handwriting, I should be getting a pair of Hoka One One Clifton 4's in the mail some time in the not too distant future.
I'll certainly give them a good test and see how I like them. Maybe they'll be good enough to be worth wearing to run Boston; that great downhill cushioning would be nice there.

Evening notes: Starting some mild 2 a days, in anticipation of 100k training ramping up. After this morning's 5k on the ski hill, tonight was a flat, easy run. Ran 5.1 miles in 49:24, for an average pace of 9:40. Average HR was 152, with a max of 158. 78% of the run was in z2, so not perfect, but close enough for just getting back into things.
Hope you all had a runderful day!

@seanevan10 and @JimCrackinDandy I have a FitBit Charge HR (first generation), and I use MapMyFitness (because I do other activities besides run). I liked them both and they've served me well over that last couple of years. However, I have long since reached my goal weight so weight loss is no longer my focus. I want to run better and faster, conquer a few tough obstacle course races, and stay injury free. Neither the tracker nor the app make tracking special training workouts very easy. I've adjusted things to make them work for me for now, but I have my eye on the Garmin Forerunner 235. I need something waterproof with HR monitoring that can measure off intervals and isn't going to break the bank like the Fenix. My daughter is training for her first tri and is looking at the Vivoactive. We are not elite athletes at all, but this is what we work with. Hope that helps.2

7/1 - Rest Day
7/2 -Rest Day
7/3 - Rest Day
7/4 - 2.98 (Based on Garmin distance) for local 5K… time was 26:22; not a PR at all, but I haven't run at all since 6/24 and won't be fat adapted for awhile yet.
7/5 - 5.03 miles - not as fast as I planned
7/6 - 3.01 miles treadmill. Plan was for easy miles, and these were scary slow.
7/7 - Rest day
7/8 - 7.37 miles. New trail running shoes! Went out on a trail I haven't visited for awhile, was hot and very slow. Very tall grass in areas made this very difficult as well.
7/9 - Rest
7/10 - Rest
7/11 - 3.0 easy miles treadmill, very slow, before weight lifting. It's hot outside and it is just easy to run on the treadmill at the gym before lifting. I knew I was going to lose some speed when changing nutrition again, but this is really starting to scare me.
7/12 - 5.02 miles, still slower than I wanted.
7/13 - 3.0 miles treadmill before lifting weights. Still slow, but plan was for easy miles.
7/14 - Rest
7/15 - Rest
7/16 - 9.08 miles, struggled with managing BG.
7/17 - Rest
7/18 - 3 miles, treadmill. Easy effort, but excellent pace. I've been struggling lately, even (especially) on the treadmill. This run brought back some enthusiasm. 2 things different this time: 1. The only food I had all day was coffee with HWC at breakfast, a piece of cheese for lunch, and 3 snack sized Slim Jims for a snack mid-afternoon (2 hrs. before running). Another explanation is that I'm finally more fat adapted again (intentional transition that should take longer than this) or electrolytes are better balance. This was warm-up before weight lifting.
7/19 - 5.05 miles "at race pace." Heat index of 108F, but still faster than expected for the heat (9:51 avg mile). And I feel good about my pace again. This time, I also did not do much walking to start out (1 block), and I took a cold shower before heading out because of the heat.
7/20 - 3.00 miles treadmill before weight lifting.
7/21 - Rest
7/22 - 6.00 trail run - heat, humidity, and hills made this a lot more walking than running; but I'm counting it anyway. FWIW, my HR looked like I was running.
7/23 - Rest
7/24 - Rest
7/25 - 3.02 miles treadmill
7/26 - 6.23 miles

Total: 87.25/100 miles
I was supposed to start a round of P90X3 this week, but I got a bit distracted with Shaun Week. Shaun T’s Insanity is one of my all-time favorite workout programs, but it’s cardio heavy. Ever since I started running 4 and 5 days a week and averaging 25 miles a week, I’ve been staying clear of the cardio heavy programs. Too much of good thing is too much! However, this program is only 6 30-minute workouts. They’re still intense, but not insane, and after 3 days, I still love Shaun T! Oh, how I wish I had this crazy motivator in my ears and in my head on the last mile of every race!
Anyway, I’ll be starting P90X3 on Monday. My daughter and I enjoyed a Core at the Store class last night at a local running store. We learned some great runner-specific core moves to do to strengthen those muscles that are usually weak in runners. I am happy to say that a lot of those moves show up regularly in P90X3. I’ll only have to add a couple of them to my daily workouts.
I had an early but long lunch with a friend today. By the time I got home it was 94°F, 51% humidity for a Real Feel of 106°F. The climate-controlled treadmill to the rescue!
I was only going to do an easy 3 miles. I have my long run tomorrow. However, I was feeling really good and added a tempo mile at my current 5K pace. It felt good to blow out the cobwebs or, for you motorheads, blow the carbon off the carburetor!
Oh, and for the record, I seriously want to be @MobyCarp when I grow up!!
Upcoming Races:
August 5 – Great Brain Wash 5K Obstacle Run, St. Pete, FL

@MobyCarp My first road shoes were Clifton's, and I now wear Clifton 3's. I love them, but I know what is good for my feet isn't always what is good for everyone else.1

@RespectTheKitty you mention wanting to eat endlessly and "cravings". Are you wanting to eat something specific ad nauseum or is it just want to eat anything and everything? If it's specific you have a couple of avenues of recourse. Personally I was a complete *kitten* around all the sweet things- in the end keto was the answer to shutting that down (and yes I fully expect someone to hit the woo button on me now ).
Also, I'm not sure how this would couple with your current medication or whatnot, but I'm on high dose Bupropion XL for my OCD and that also shuts down a lot of my interest in eating (I just have to take it at night as it is a little "speedy"). Might be worth asking your GP about?
@skippygirlsmom you've got such a sweet girl. Enjoy that Garmin mama!

@RespectTheKitty I get cravings for sweets a lot, not as much as before I got down to my current weight, but I still get them. I've found a couple of things (for me) that helps. I eat a ton of fresh fruits in the mornings for brunch usually most if not all of my day's sugar allotment. I often go over on sugar because of it, but it greatly limits my craving for sweets during the day and even though I am over on sugar almost none of it is processed sugar. In the evenings, I eat a peppermint or two if I have cravings. It's what works for me. Otherwise, I also do a lot of the thing Pastor Vincent does. Sometimes I have an 'endless' craving and that can be tough, I don't have any easy answer on that though quality munching does seem to be better than quantity to satisfy it.
@seanevan10 I have a fitbit Charge 2. I have become tired of getting the company to replace the standard band that comes with the unit. They are always pretty good about it, I just don't understand why they don't correct the issue. I started with a fitbit and it has been very good for getting me moving, but now I'm wanting a Garmin for multi sport use and waterproof with HR. I just am finding it hard to swallow the price tag.
I am not going to make my July running goal, but I am still very happy with where I am at! I graduated from the C25K program last night (yay me!) and have a couple more three mile runs planned for this month. I'm not going to do any back to backs as I feel I am not really anywhere near a daily runner at this time. So, I should end July with 24 and a half miles. I've been a little more laid back over this month than usual, so I'm hoping to be able to increase my mileage in August.

Today's notes: Got up early this morning, after about 6 and a half hours sleep (woohoo!) and got my run in. This run was one of those, felt harder than it was types. I maxed my HR at 173 at one point, but I think that was a fluke. Average HR of the run was 151, with 81% of the run in z1 or z2. I was/am TIRED, and I was slower this morning because of it, but as Travis Macy says, it's all good mental training.
Hope you all have a runderful day!

just count then divide the final figure by 60 to get the number of minutes.
