spring hibernation?

Taking food out of the mix for the past three days has been very interesting. I haven’t really been any hungrier than I would normally be – I’m always hungry even when I’ve eaten in the past few hours or past few days.

And time spent running and riding is down a little, too, although I’m still putting in several bike miles and a few run miles per day. I have to stay a little bit occupied or all I think about is food – again no big difference from normal. Strange though, I find myself suddenly doing housework and chores that have been on my to-do-list for three years - maybe some part of my mind/body thinks I’m going into hibernation and is preparing a worthy den…
