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.
