Winter Sort of Sucks, but Food is Good
Southern New England can a great place to live. There are sandy beaches in the summer, amazing colors in the fall, tulips and daffodils light up the landscape in the spring and then there is the joy of snow shoveling.
MFP says I burned 3,097 calories moving the white stuff around.
35 inches of snow (1 meter or so) has ruined my running for at least the next few days. I am glad my treadmill is sitting on the front porch where it won't get rained on. I do have a bike on a trainer in the livingroom.
It could be worse. I was scheduled for another surgical biopsy today. It was canceled due to the blizzard. They'll call to reschedule.
I have dropped to my lowest weight in decades and I want to get out there and run. When I run (or bike) I eat less. On rest days I am so hungry that overeating is a simple as there is food in the refrigerator.
Why is this?
It got me to thinking about being hungry and thirsty and I tried to find words to express it.
- athirst
- cottonmouthed
- carnivorous
- could eat a horse
- covetous
- dry
- dry as dust (but not quite as useless)
- edacious
- empty
- esurient
- hankering
- parched
- ravenous
- starved
- unquenched
....and my favorite, rungry.
Did I miss any?
Thanks for reading along.
