hungry

Managed to get through my skips this morning, but still struggling with pain in the calf muscles.  Every 10 jumps or so it feels like the muscle is about to go into a cramp spasm - fortunately it didnt happen.  Somebody once told me that drinking pickle water immediately cures a cramp.  I am not quite at the stage of having a glass of this on hand for an emergency, but hoping I can work through this and get back to enjoying the morning skips.  On the diet front I seem to have gone from struggling to eat everything last week, to now being hungry and looking forward to the next meal despite no change in the quantities I am eating.  Perhaps my metabolism is slowly starting to awaken??
