Small changes...

My constant hunger seems to be subsiding a little. Usually I am yearning for each meal. The past 5 days or so I haven't felt that constant urge to eat as much as I had previously. I sometimes get to meal time and nothing even sounds good; where previously I would eat anything that I could (within the guidelines)!

When I eat my meals, I sometimes don't even finish all 4 tbsp. per meal because I feel satisfied before I'm done...that's a new one! It seems my new stomach pouch is working more like it's supposed to; more like it has been for others who have had this surgery! I am so glad...I had really been struggling with the hunger!

I'm still struggling with exercise. I don't love walking on my treadmill and morning is the best time and really the only time I have during the day to get it done. But getting up at 5:00 am is a killer and today is the first day this week that I actually got up and did my walking. If I try to do it in the evening; after dinner, etc. then it's too close to bedtime and I can't go to sleep! So, mornings is when it needs to be and I need to make a commitment to doing it everyday so I can get to my goal weight! I can't wait until it gets warmer outside so I can go walking outdoors.

Rio left for St. George yesterday with friends to ride motorcycles down there. Their weather hasn't been that great and they even had snow so riding should be wet and muddy! He will be home on Sunday but I really hate it when he's gone. I'm not afraid to be home alone with the kids; I just like it better when he's there too!

Gotta get back to work...FOOD IS FUEL!
