The case for lunch

I unintentionally skipped lunch today. This is pretty unlike me, as I'm typically good about eating regularly, before I feel overwhelmingly hungry. Today, though, I had a late breakfast. We went to Pony Island Restaurant and had breakfast with the Easter Bunny. And so did pretty much everyone else with small children on the island, residents and visitors alike. There was therefore quite a wait to get seated at a table, and we ended up eating at about 10:45 AM. It felt more like brunch. (Pony potatoes made it worth the wait, though. Plus Connor loved seeing the Easter Bunny. So it was all good.)

Anyway, as a result of the late breakfast, I never felt particularly hungry, so I didn't eat an actual lunch. (I did have a very small snack in the afternoon.)

I shouldn't say I never felt particularly hungry, because - of course - I eventually did. About 15 minutes into Turbo Kick, I suddenly realized I was very hungry. So hungry that I was having trouble concentrating and getting through the routine.

So, lesson learned and note to self: do not skip lunch. Nutrition is needed for your body to have fuel to burn during exercise. (Duh! Yes, I certainly knew this with my head before; but having really experienced it today, now I absolutely get it...and hopefully won't forget it!)
