At least I know it's still there...

Sometimes I forget I even have the band. Sometimes I think something went horribly wrong and it came undone or something. Then, I eat a few chicken nuggets WAY too fast...and for the first time since about 10 months ago, I slimed, slimed slimed, then finally, what probably amounted to a whole chicken nugget came right back up. While it's one of the most uncomfortable feelings ever, it's also reassuring, because I WANT the crazy side effects of the band--it makes me feel like it's actually working. Of course, I PB on a chicken nugget, but I can still like a horse at mealtimes. But it's still a good sign!

I had an insane mental battle with myself tonight about whether I should take my walk or not. On the drive home, I kept oscillating between just going home or actually stopping for my walk. I don't know where this sudden laziness came from, a week ago I was gung-ho and excited about exercising and walking, but I think I just had too many days off lately and now my body doesn't want to get back into it. Then, I when I started walking, I kept going back and forth between if I should just go to the 1/2 mile mark and back, or go the full mile and back. I hate this! I need to keep doing this every day and drop the excuses. I did end up going my full 2 miles, and the soreness/tiredness I felt when I started was gone before I hit the first 3/4 mile mark. I also brought my phone along for some music today, and that seemed to help pass the time. I don't do it all the time because most of my "workout" pants don't have pockets and I don't like carrying things in my hands for 2 miles.

My 52 mins for 2 miles held true today so that's a good starting baseline for sure. On the way home, I battled with deciding if I should stop for ice cream, stop for fast food (breaking my 4-month abstinence), stop for soda...man, this is getting out of control. Thankfully, I drove straight home and I'm cooking a fairly healthy dinner for myself (rice and beans and maybe some broccoli and cheese with it). This head hunger has to stop. Still haven't heard from the scheduling lady for a fill.
