Yesterday was the first night in a long, long time that I didn’t stuff myself with sugar before going to bed.  I was much more comfortable laying down without my usual bulging belly.  Lots of water loss and no swollen fingers this morning.  A night without heavy sugar seemed to help a lot with the night sweats.    I had a cup sugar free diet hot chocolate (50 calories) instead of my usual load-o-sugar.  It was sweet and took longer to drink than it takes to eat three pieces of cake. Not funny to even admit to eating three pieces of cake that fast is it?

 I noticed a weird thing.  My husband calls before his ride home from work and right after the call I was hungry!  Why would that be?  Gotta give that some thought.   

I’ll be going running soon and then walking the dogs in the woods.  Boy, if the food aspect of this thing was as easy as the exercise part I’d have it made.  I exercise my butt off and always have - still didn’t save me from getting to where I am today.  Matter of fact, I think the heavy amount of exercise I’ve always done gave me an excuse to just eat, and eat, and eat.  Lily, you are living proof that you have to eat right - I got fat running, walking, and lifting weights.  Gotta get this eating thing under control. 

Later … my feet and knees did not hurt as much today while running.  Find out if sugar makes you ache - heard somewhere it could.
