Hungry today

It's nice being able to get up a little later each morning (6:30am) now that I am organized the night before. I even get to read a chapter of my book every morning which is a very relaxing way to start my day. Menu for today: breakfast - cereal, snack - pineapple, lunch - spaghetti, bread, cucumbers, tomatoes, snack - banana and Special K bar and slice of low-fat apple bread, supper - lamb chop, potatoes, green beans. I had a brainwave today - I felt so bad about not exercising last night that I decided to go for a walk at lunch. I decided it was too cold to walk outside, so I decided to walk around the school. It went really well and I worked up quite a sweat. I think I pushed it a little too hard, but it felt really good and I think that every Thursday (my date night with Colin) I will do the walking either inside or outside the school. I find that by the time I have put Colin down for the night and get home, I have time to do all the prep stuff for the next day and it's 10pm. Then, I still have to write this blog. So, walking at lunch time will make sure I get my exercise in and that's a good thing. I have found myself hungry today and I'm not sure why. I have eaten well and it seems to have been lots to eat, but I didn't find myself full. Even now, I feel like my tummy is in need of sustenance. I was able to stay the course with my food (even though I took Colin to Dairy Queen for dinner and I didn't even have a craving for a yummy Peanut Buster Parfait :-) I would like to figure out why I was so hungry, though - I will have to see if it's different tomorrow. Maybe my body is just used to (lately) eating as much as it wants and now that it's not getting all that, it's complaining. Hmm, food for thought (no pun intended) :-) I have made it through four days now - doesn't sound like much, but it's all about one day at a time, right? :-)
