The last two weeks have been a challenge for me with regards to the amount of food I've been eating. I was sick last week with an ovarian cyst and then this week we've had very poor snowy weather which has kept me trapped in the house disrupting my exercising schedule. Today I got 18 activity points. I ran 75 minutes and went to hot yoga. (AWESOME!) And today my eating is back to normal. I'm looking back over my eating journal (I track on WW website) and I'm noticing that on days when I don't exercise, those are the days that I overeat.
So, exercising is an appetite suppressant? I'm confused about this because I thought that the more you exercise the more you want to eat. I'm not one to take this at face value, so I've looked it up and found the science behind my hypothesis: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/12/081211081446.htm
Now I NEVER want to miss my workouts. But notice that the article says that you must workout rigorously. So, I'm assuming that a light stroll won't cut it. Working out is a total WIN-WIN!
