Hunger
Friday, March 19th 2010
So why is it that when I do not work out, I'm not very hungry throughout the day. But when I do work out, I feel hunger.
Yesterday, I did not work out. 
My breakfast was a Dannon yogurt (80 cals), followed by a philly cheese steak sandwich, and spaghetti for dinner. . . total cals. . . 1250. Way under the target.Today, while I was running on the treadmill, I was feeling hunger pains.
As is my normal routine, I do not eat before the workout (I just want to get it over with). Then ...
Going Down Hill
Thursday, March 18th 2010
So I'm starting to see some movement on the scale. It is gradually going down. I'm feeling better about exercising and I'm feeling more in control of what I eat. I still find myself wanting to snack. I've given up sweets for Lent and that leaves SALT. I just want to munch.Munch. . .
Munch . . .
Munch . . .
But, I'm telling myself no. I do not have much to munch on in my office (good thing). And when I'm at home, I keep myself occupied with farming on Faceb...
Feeling Peace
Tuesday, March 16th 2010
I have my daughter's dog this week. He is a hyperactive, adorable beagle. This morning I took both dogs for a walk / run. They loved it. After 40 minutes of the great outdoors, marking every thing in sight, we returned home. The always energized beagle, Einstein, was well behaved, but still, I could see the energy in his wagging tail. I wish I had his energy.While I may not have Einstein's energy level, I am feeling peaceful. The sun is beginning to rise, and it feels good. I feel g...
I've Got the Power!
Monday, March 15th 2010
So it has finally occurred to me that I have the power. I have the power to accomplish any goal I set. I have the power to lose weight. I have the power to exercise every day. I have the power to eat right. I know that this seems obvious. So often we believe that we are addicted to food. Thinking that way means that I am powerless over food. But the truth is, I have the power to make good choices and bad choices. I am in control of what I eat (both good and bad). I am in control when I...Someone Didn't Recognize Me
Tuesday, March 2nd 2010
I was walking to the cafeteria today when an old colleague stopped to say that she didn't recognize me from a distance. She commented on how my body has changed. I can't believe how far I've come. I still have a long ways to go, but exercise, while it is still a big pain, is easier. I told her that today, I ran for 20 minutes straight and then had to stop to get to work. When I first started, I couldn't run for 20 seconds, let alone 20 minutes. I couldn't do the elliptical trainer for even...
