I'm thinking "tired" may not be the same as "worked the heck out of my muscles and lungs..." I am not hungry after a strenuous workout until several hours later and that is a very controllable hunger. However, after putzing around in the woods all day I'm exhausted and starving. Eat like a pig.
A lot of weight control has to do with how fast you burn calories all the time and that comes with speeding up your metabolism. Go
fast go
often. (ok that didn't sound quite right. *sigh*) Even walking to and from your car and at work, walk fast, take the stairs a little faster. Water, fruit, and leave the processed foods alone. (I love processed foods)
