Carmen, thank you! I just finished my first day in the gym after all these years. I missed it! Have been doing some yoga and swimming the past few weeks of trying to get back in shape and was a nice starter, but I'm ready to go for it now. Today psyched me up. Not at all afraid to get bulky-- I know that won't really happen.
Running: I think I will feel that way like you. I was ravenous after the gym today. When I cooled down, I had a bottle of water and went and bought a new pair of gym pants instead of going home THAT hungry. It worked well-- ate a sandwich, a yogurt, and a glass of iced tea. An hour later, thought, still starving, so ate a cup of watermelon and that seemed to do the trick. But I know I need to up my protein, for sure.
