Feeling good today. I started using weights again, but kept it light and on the floor. Best part is that I feel statified in the sense not really hungry or craving anything. Which is something I struggled during the time I couldn’t workout.

It’s like, the urge to eat is practically gone. And I’m super happy about it. Not to mention I’m exhausted, but I think that’s due to 4 hours of sleep. Either way, today I felt like I accomplished a lot and that I’m back to my (almost) normal.

Like I pretty much ate crap today and yet I’m not craving or have any urges to keep eating. For goodness sake I ate 1 1/2 servings of a high calorie ramen, 2 servings of Pillsbury toaster scrambles, and to end the day with 1 chocolate donut.

Sure, it was within my calorie deficit but still! I ate like crap. But, today I walked and included weights for a light workout. In total I exercised for 23 minutes today. That’s pretty much a quarter of my usual before surgery.

So to just being able to exercise at all helped me combat my food urges. Especially when it comes to strong craving and the lack of control. Which makes me happy that I’m able to start exercising again. Plus, the fresh air during my walk really hits the spot.

Not to mention, I felt emotionally better after my walk and workout. It was like I was returning to being me. And a lot of stress I wasn’t fully aware of suddenly disappeared.

My walk was 15 minutes round trip, and I worked out for 8 minutes. I been keeping a journal, tracking everything. Since that’s something I want to start doing in January. So gotta start building that habit now or I’ll never do it.

Tomorrow I’m taking a longer walk and even going to interact with people. Since I’m going to pick up medication and hopefully have the stamina to visit the Farmers Market. Even if I don’t buy anything, it’ll be nice to just be out and about.

All this is within 15 to 20 minutes (speed walking) from my place. I sadly will have to tone it down still, since I gotta build up to my normal speed. It’s difficult not walking between 3 to 4 mph, but I can’t rush it.

Anyways, I’m gonna have a cup of tea and enjoy my time before going to bed.
