So two nights ago I set the "learn workout" program while I was exercising so that I could create a routine that worked best for my speed and endurance abilities. Well I am improving so quickly that while the length in time of 40 min stays the same, I keep bumping up the speed and it saves my progress from session to session. This way when I go to the workout, it goes to my most recent "adjustments" and I can press the speed up button whenever I'm ready. With my body requiring more and more speed to maintain the same pulse due to getting in better shape, this is perfect. I know I will eventually take days or weeks to progress but right now I can do more every single workout session. I am burning 200+ calories per session which is causing me to get hungry in the evenings so I called the surgeon with my concerns because last night I layed in bed hungry and unable to sleep for an hour before I got up and took a slice of deli meat and cheese and rolled it up and ate it. The nurse said that was perfectly fine given the fact that I was truly hungry and not just "head hungry". She agreed it is most likely due to my increasing exercise and believes that to be far more important than having to eat a high protein snack. If anthing, it might help me burn more by reducing the "starvation mode"...
