Yesterday I got hungry and instead of rushing to fix the 5-star alarms signaled by this feeling I decided to explore it a bit. What does it feel like to be hungry for an hour or so. I managed to turn down an offer for dinner and do a little shopping before heading home and getting a green machine drink in me.
Being hungry helps make the not so tasty bits go down easier. I'm thinking of this as an experiment. I've abused my body beyond belief at this point. I look in the mirror and jiggle all the bits that don't seem connected to the real me. Taking ownership of that fact is the most eye opening fact I've got to carry me through the next 96 days.
Smells are the hardest factor in this so far. Walking by restaurants and the like can get the pangs fired up. I have more time since I've stopped looking for the next meal at all times of the day.
Today I hit the heavy bag. I'm feeling it from Tuesday, but its not a terrible pain as previous workouts after long bouts of inactivity have produced. Going to start layering in daily walks to work on my endurance. I am weak and weepy. But every day I get stronger and my weight continues to drop. Seeing results will also help me carry on.
