Could not sleep a wink last night. I kept thinking about the whole weight loss ride I'm about to get on. Ups and downs I'm sure. Well, woke up this moring and went to church with the kids. Good sermon, motivated me some more. Got home did some chores and cooked gumbo. Lean meats. Spicy. Yummy!
We needed more eggs in the house, so instead of driving to Adrians down the road, Jack and I walked. Its about a half mile both ways, so we almost made a mile. I stretched a little before we went and about half way there I felt like my calves were going to burn right off. I think I left one of them there on the sidewalk. Jack was like, come on slow poke! He also suggested we "jog". I told him unless he wanted to call 911 when we got to the store to go pick up his mom, then we better not. Funny kid I tell you.
I ate a small bowl of gumbo. I would like to eat two more, but I'll refrain. My first real test of will. I think I hear it calling me...

Well the food here is gonna be hard to pass up. Gumbo when it is cold, meat ball stew also. Not to mention the potato salad.
I think sweets are my problem. I went to Fresh Market yesterday ( I just go for special things) and they had dried fruit but it was like convection dried. It is so good and just a little won't hurt. To me it is better to taste something than to deny yourself. Just a tiny bit and be done with it.
The problem with gumbo as you know is not the meat it is the flour for the roux. We say roux but it is really gravy. Thin or thick it is still gravy. I love it but I don't think I will be able to have any this year. I am weak...*L*
Your walk to the store is great. You don't have to run. Your body will tell you when to run. Believe it or not at some point it will easier to run than walk. The runners around here will probably tell you that. You will know when to run.
You have to get your stamina up to walk as fast as you can and the day you step off to run will be relief and you will know it was time. Good luck friend
If you need a place to store that Gumbo, we have space in our fridge...I know, I am so generous!
'A' for effort and a great start...keep it up!!!
Thanks mem for the encouragement, I need it!
Aaron, I know I can maybe mail you some of that good gumbo...FedEx?
