A dietary observation.

I'm not back in any kind of training just yet. I ran twice this week, a pitiful 2k as a warm up for a weights session and a better 10k later in the week. I also went to kickboxing, which was incredibly good fun as most of the class was missing for one reason or another and that meant the hour consisted of sparring and practicing new punch kick combos on the heavy bag, all of which I much prefer to patterns and conditioning. Not that I'm against conditioning per se, but as a long distance runner it bores the ring off me.
Anyway, like I say not doing a whole lot, but I have abstained from all wheat and wheat based products, ditto alcohol. I was pleasantly surprised then this morning to discover I have lost 3 pound in weight over the course of 6 days. This confirms slightly what I suspected, that gargantuan amounts of toast are the devil's delicious smegma. It must be said that in the week before the marathon I piled on almost 4 pound in a carb loading free for all, but I had already taken 3 of those off in the first few days post marathon, so this is quite a shock. I imagine of course the hoochlessness makes a difference too, but still.
I've not being starving myself either, I had a portion of shepherd's pie the other night that could fell a horse. And porridge or bacon and eggs most days for breakfast. I haven't felt hungry once either, although I did look on with sheer longing as the paramour devoured white pudding on toast this morning- but it passed.
It might just be an anomaly, but I'll be interested to see what next Saturday's scales show when I up the training this week.
Not saying anything at the moment really-next week might be entirely different- but like I wrote at the top of the post, merely an observation.
