What a difference a day makes

Awoke at 4:30 a.m. and was able to move with much better ease than the day before.  I was loaned a scale yesterday and with much anticipation, weighed myself.  I have lost 5 lbs. down to 230 lbs.  As I started to walk I found that my knees were not cooperating, as they were so very sore on the sides.  I never really picked up the pace today; but was just so very grateful to walk once again.  As I got to the 3 1/2 mile point, which happens to be at one of the entrances to my apt. complex, I decided to end the walk.  As much as I wanted to walk the 5 miles, I was even more determined to walk tomorrow. Skipping  another day of walking because I cant move, is something I want to avoid if at all possible.


Yesterday I had 2 slices of sprouted grain toast with peanut butter for lunch.  For a snack I had 1/2 of a Balance bar and a peach greek yogurt.  Dinner was 1/2 of a english cucumber, tilapia and wild rice with a bit of red onions.  Later that evening I was hungry so I had a bowl of Cheerios and non fat milk.  I notice I get hungry more on the days I don't run.  This morning before I walked I had a banana and when I came back from walking, I had a bowl of Cheerios and non fat milk.
