Kind of a funny thing: It's nearly 10:30am and I haven't felt truly hungry yet. I refuse to eat anything until my body says to. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm hearing a growl.
It feels almost weird feeling motivated to get out and walk. I really need better walking/running shoes. Might have to fix that this weekend. Don't want to damage my ankles (which are actually a tad sore), and as Rosie found out last night, flip-flops are not the fitness-walking footwear of choice. She has a blood-blister on the end of her big toe. I was telling Steve last night that I wouldn't even mind starting to walk in the mornings. Think I can drag my night-owl, I-loathe-mornings daughter out of bed to walk with me that early?
Gosh, it feels great no longer being a slave to food. By working with my body's design, I feel like I've put control back in the hands of its Creator where it belongs. It's only been five days, but I already feel so much better, and in many ways.
I finally got a growl at around 11:30am. The next one came at about 2pm. It's now 3 and I'm feeling pretty content. It's funny how I haven't had candy in 5 or 6 days, not because I'm purposefully avoiding it, but because it isn't what my body is calling for. I have a jar full of Reese's cup miniatures in the fridge that I bought over a week ago, and I forgot they were there. Matt found them, though, so they might not be there for long. :)
Walked twice around the block with Steve. Had to slow the pace a bit because even though my Croc flip-flops are way more comfortable than my sneakers, they still make my shins hurt if I walk too briskly. Yeah, I definitely need new walking shoes.
