I think I&#8217;m usually craving high calorie foods as well, and that means lots of stuff that&#8217;s bad for me. But let&#8217;s be honest, anything with any flavor is bad for you. Lately, though, I&#8217;ve been eating less and getting by with salads. Why? I don&#8217;t know. Maybe I hit my head at the gym and I can&#8217;t remember it because I hit my head. Nothing hurts, though, so I&#8217;m fairly sure that&#8217;s not it.<\/p>\n<p>Even my dinner, while not on the &#8220;Zone Diet&#8221; that&#8217;s promoted by Crossfit, wasn&#8217;t all that much. I usually don&#8217;t like cooking for just myself because I&#8217;ve always found a way to hurt myself in the kitchen. Today I had 2 tortillas with peanut butter. It&#8217;s space-station astronaut food that I heard about on NPR. Also, you can&#8217;t use all that much peanut butter on a tortilla or it gets stuck in your mouth. I had that and a dented up banana, because that&#8217;s all you can find late on a Thursday at Trader Joe&#8217;s. Oh, and a hard-boiled egg, because boiling water really isn&#8217;t cooking, and besides, I bought a egg boiling gadget on Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>Funny how I&#8217;m not starving at work, either. I&#8217;m not sure this hard-boiled egg and banana diet is going to hold out. Sooner or later I&#8217;m going to end up at Jack-in-the-Box talking into the clowns mouth. I suppose you don&#8217;t have to do that any more, but WHEN I WAS A KID, YOU HAD TO TALK INTO THE CLOWNS MOUTH IN THE DRIVE-THROUGH. There are rumors that In-N-Out is coming to Portland, but I can&#8217;t possibly wait that long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Usually when I work out a lot, I want to eat all the time.
