Body Confusion

I'm in Huntington Beach, CA this week for work.  It's a quick trip for one meeting.  The meeting started at 9:00 am today and was done by 12:30 pm.  After the meeting, we (myself and some coworkers) went out to lunch and then I was dropped at the hotel since they were traveling on to Utah (without me *cry*).  So after I let my lunch digest and a quick run to REI to pick up some black rain pants for reffing, I ventured out for a run along the Huntington Beach.  I was aiming for 6 miles for my pre-half-marathon training, but ended up running 7.5 miles!  A personal record!  Yay, too bad I'll need almost another 6 to finish the race.  Anyway, I was exhausted afterwards.  I stopped at the hotel gift shop with the intention of picking up some chocolate milk.  They had yoohoo (which is not even made from milk) and Muscle Milk (which I found out is also not made from milk).  I bought the Muscle Milk and it was gross.  Anyway after a shower, I was shaky and hungry, but I didn't crave anything.  I tried to eat a protein bar, but putting it in my mouth just made me want to hurl.

So I ventured back to the gift shop  because I was waiting for my friend to get off work so we could get dinner together.  I end up spending $10 on... wait for it... an orange, a naked juice, and a peach yogurt.  TEN FREAKING DOLLARS.  Good thing I'm getting reimbursed for all of this.  All of this goes down just fine.  I get a text from my friend, he's working later than he thought and to go ahead and eat without him.  *sad face*  I decide to go to In N Out.  I get there and get my usual order.  I'm starting to shake again.  And guess what happens?  The Unthinkable.  I almost throw up when I eat my cheeseburger animal style. I only finish half my burger and most of my fries.  It's like "hello, body?!?!  I know you're hungry, why do you resist this yummy food?"

So here I sit in my hotel room, not completely full, but not wanting to actually eat anything.  I think this is my body's way of telling to stop running so dang far.
