Rumbly in My Tumbly

This was almost the title of my entire blog, but I thought it referred too much to Winnie the Pooh, and I don't even particularly like Winnie the Pooh so I settled with In My Tummy instead.  These past few weeks, a curious thing has started to happen:  there is a rumble down under.  Before I eat, I actually feel hungry, my tummy growls, and I eat.  I never used to let myself feel hunger and rarely did my stomach growl.  It isn't even a bad or scary feeling.  It simply is a feeling.  A feeling to let me know I am hungry and should eat.  So I do. 

I thought today was going to be a super struggle since it was a crummy day outside, I called in sick to work, and planned on spending the entire day inside.  After breakfast, I could tell that I was in the mood to munch and thought I'd be munching all day long.  Plus it was gloomy out so I hadn't planned on getting outside to do much exercise.

But then inspiration knocked on the door.  Or rather called on the phone.  She called and asked to go for a walk in the rain.  So I did.  We took a leisurely stroll for about 40 minutes in the misty drizzle, but it was enough to knock the munchies out of me and I had another good day.

Food:
cereal with blueberries
apple with peanut butter
turkey sandwich on a bun
grapes
chicken breast (dipped in ranch)
pea pods (with ranch)
mandarin oranges
snack pack pudding with strawberries added.

Activity:
40 minute leisurely stroll.
