Passing the Time

I did it.  I survived the night without a binge or even an ordinary eat-o-rama.  I kept busy with household duties and surfing the Internet.  Plus my mood has improved significantly.  After I blogged, and after I reassured myself that eating a hotdog was not the be-all-and-end-all, I did alright.  A bowl of deliciously sweet fruit was enough to satisfy my urges to munch.  I even contemplated going for a run, but settled for hanging out with my new laptop instead.  Damn technology.

I don't want to make eating a hotdog that big of a deal in the future.  I want to be able to enjoy regular food without obsessing about it.  Its about portion control, and my portion size was perfect tonight.  In addition to portion control its also about balance, and my diet has been very balanced these past few weeks.  Let's not forget activity level which has also been great.  In fact, hikes that used to take me an hour now takes me 45-50 minutes, and I don't hesitate as long to catch my breath at the top of steep hills.

The problem with activity is that because I am relatively fit and active, my activity has to get more intense and challenging if I want to see more results.  For now, roller blading will have to be that next level of exercise that I need, but once I get used to that, I'll have to continue to step it up.  Maybe a Zumba class??

This is a rambling post simply out of boredom.  Just passing time until bedtime.......
