So .... While Monday I succumbed to the attack of the killer brownies, Tuesday went much better, stayed on track all day. Still getting that hungry feeling, in fact, unusual for me, I made PB toast around 9:00 last night. I am typically not a nighttime snacker, my problems are more in the midday time period. I'm thinking my body is tellling me I'm not getting enough of something. Not getting much fruit so maybe that is part of it. I did drink lots more water yesterday, I don't know why that helps but it is easy enough to do. On the bright side, the frigid cold has left and I am craving the comfort foods less.
I can tell my lack of daily exercise is not helping. I really need to find a way to get that back in my routine. Last year was great, I was walking 3-4 miles, 3 or 4 times a week. It was wonderful, I felt great, my legs looked great, the weight was falling off. What happened, well for me it was the holidays and not how you think . Over the Thanksgiving holidays, my walking partner missed a step bringing down her Christmas decorations and broke her foot. She will be okay, but is still unable to resume our walking. This just goes on my list of another reason I hate the holiday season.
Why should this unfortunate accident affect me you ask? It is because I am a social exerciser. I can't do it by myself, believe me I have tried. I need the interaction with someone else, when we are walking and talking it is not exercise to me. I need that friend to call me on those bad mornings when I would rather go back to bed and say "let's go". I hate that I am dependent on others but it works for me.
So anyone want to be my walking partner?
