I get home at about 6pm with both girls and LK walks in at about 7:30pm. While I'm waiting for him to get home I feed the girls. As soon as he walks in the door I head out to go for a 30min migraine-busting run. Consequently we eat late, and as I have my lunch hour from 12 til 1 at work, I'm ready to gnaw the ulnar of an unsuspecting child by the time dinner's on the table.
Tonight I came home and as dinner was cooking, I helped myself to a few crisps (chips). LK chimes in "your body rebuilds after a run with whatever you eat directly after", so I counter "well, where's my perfectly balanced dinner waiting for me when I get home?" He fires back "you should have run longer". So there we are, a happily married couple bickering away due to low blood sugar.
Cut to me, wishing the Trader Joes frozen Cioppino would cook a little faster, turning the gas up and watching it boil.
LK: It's boiling already.
Me: I just want it to cook faster, I'm hungry.
LK: It's not going to boil any boilier.
I had to laugh. We need a wife.
Do any of you work long hours and still cook when you get home? How do you avoid reaching for pre-made junk food or ordering a takeaway? I suppose I could eat with the girls as soon as I get home and let LK eat alone, but I think that way I'd end up eating two meals and defeating the whole purpose of a run!

It's all a bit depressing. I pick up kids and get home around 5:30. I am ready to eat then and in fact sometimes start eating while I'm rooting around getting something for the kids. What I get for htem is less formal than a meal but more substantial than a bowl of cereal. My husband fends for himself most evenings when he gets home. When the weather's cooler I will cook more but usually I do it in the evenings or on weekends so we have homemade food things in the fridge for pulling out and eating. Why does cooking for the family make my brain feel dumb?
I cook several meats at one time on the weekend, freeze and then reheat. I have 2 crockpots, the oven, and the stove all going. I put a bag of chicken breasts in the crockpot and then use them for tacos, fajitas, spaghetti, etc... I cook several pounds of ground beef in the other crockpot and do the same. Only way I can manage to put together a decent meal.
Post-run nutrition is vital. You need a 4:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio and you need to replace salts lost through sweating/glowing. That's 4 bags of fizzy cola bottles to 1 bag of pork scratchings. I have also done extensive research on fluid replacement strategies if you're interested.
You need chocolate milk, have you not been watching those Olympics ads? :-)
Thank you very much for this nice discovery.
