Yesterday, I took a long walk with a friend. She suggested breakfast afterwards. The restaurant we chose has the option of "mini-meals", a half serving of normal breakfast dishes. I got half an omelet and was so good to choose the fruit rather than hash browns that I love. My friend ordered a big breakfast for herself and sort of implied that I deserved to eat more after walking for 90 minutes. When I thought back on it, she didn't really say anything specific I object to and I began to wonder if I was just overly-sensitive as I am getting used to reining in my appetite rather than indulging. There are so many little facets to this process that I have to get used to!
I do find that I have been savoring food more. I appreciate more the smells of food, including food that I am not going to eat myself. When I eat a meal, I have been trying to slow down and really taste the food. This is a long way from the mindless eating of my past life.
I met with a trainer at the gym today and got some good advice about focusing my workouts. In their system, she set me up with an upper body and a lower body workout. She answered a lot of the questions I have about how to approach all of this. I had been getting a lot of exercise, but it was fairly haphazard up to this point. I like having a plan, especially since it has the flexibility that I liked so much in my previous workouts.
Have a great day!
