Howdy Doody!!

Well, last night I walked a brisk mile and a half in my neighborhood. I loved it! My muscles in my thighs were twitching and I was just happy as a lark. Until everyone came home and somehow I became maid, doctor, IT specialist, etc. No hubby and no kids how did I get into this role.

I talked with my doc and dietian yesterday too and I was glad I did. I was concerned about the craving for something to eat and was told it's NATURAL. WOO HOO!! She explained to me that there are 2 reasons on why. One) if you look back during your day and see a lot of bad food and carb inflated foods then that would be the reason for the sugar rush or two) if you are eating right and healthy, then your body needs that sugar and a little amount is not going to hurt. HMM, looking at what I ate yesterday I can say it was number 2, which in itself is a small victory.

I also stepped onto the evil scale and down a pound. Now if I can restart the day off better than it had started.

Well, I guess that excuse (er explanation) for cravings is as good as any. But it's one think to want a piece of chocolate (or whatever) and it's another thing to act adult and tell oneself...we don't get everything we want in life, and I've eaten appropriately and the day is done and that chocolate isn't in the lifeplan today. In other words, to put self first and not just grab for whatever you want. It's called not binging.
