Hungry Walking

I was really tired yesterday. I slept after my walk but i was still tired all day. And i had a bad case of the munchies too. I was wondering why i was continually hungry, and then i remembered an article i read somewhere that said if we are not sleeping right, the body sends out hunger signals because it thinks we need food/energy to push on. Well i sure did need energy, but I'm really glad i remembered reading that article or i may have nibbled all day without burning any of it!
I got on the scale this morning and the weight had gone back down, and then some [Yay!]
I know we shouldn't weigh every day, as a rule. But Ive always weighed in ever week, and i figured that if i weigh in every morning, as soon as i wake up, seeing dropping numbers would super motivate me. It works a treat...as long as I'm losing. Apparently it has the opposite effect if i gain. But then i did learn that i put on weight if i eat after dinner at night.
My motivation is still high. But i can be motivated and confused at the same time apparently lol

Last night i made meat and pasta, using wholemeal pasta for the first time, and it was really yummy! The only one who noticed the difference was Rose. And that's only coz she's a really picky eater.
My kids are now used to wholemeal bread [eeeeeexcelleeeent] :o)

Today's Triumph: After church tonight, we went back to my friend, Glenda's, for ice-cream. [i just had coffee] Glenda's son and Jason's best friend, Josh, wanted Jason to stay the night, so we came home to get his stuff. And then we walked back to their place. It's not too far but their house is on a hill, overlooking our town, so in getting there, i almost found a third lung! lol


I received a blog award from Ericka over at Thunder Thigh Bride, and I'm quite chuffed about it!
Apparently i have to tell you 7 things about myself that you probably don't know and then give the award to 7 people that i think have great blogs.

Ok well 7 things you probably don't know about me:

1. My fav colours are equally hot pink and lime green.
2. My fav movie is Forrest Gump
3. My fav food is pizza [dam it!]
4. I don't like watching the news or reading newspapers. We only know what the media tells us, and it's all depressing, so i'd rather not know.
5.I like my coffee made with decaf Nescafe gold, 3rd of the cup of skim milk [before the water] and one sugar.
6. I am addicted to Scrabble on FaceBook
7. My best Friend is a recluse who hates everybody [including me most of the time lol]

And the blogs I'll pass this award onto are,
In[fat]uation
Eat to live in 2010
Chubby Chick
Jack Sh*t Gettin Fit
Fight The Fat
Fat Lazy Guy
And His Adventures

You guys are awesome! :o)

Well, I knew all that stuff, except I thought your fav colors were maroon and teal, your fav movie was Snakes on a Plane, your fav food was beetloaf, that you watched CNN 24-7, that you liked your coffee with a Mars bar melted into it, that you were addicted to Bejeweled and that your best friend was Linsey Lohan. Maybe I didn't know as much about you as I thought...

Thanks for the award tho... I knew you were gonna give it to me. ;)

I love your list! And I totally agree with the comment you left me today. Why would I want to live in a cabin in the middle of the woods when I'm afraid of bears??? lol Makes absolutely no sense. lol
