Its about 11:13 pm, Saturday night and a few minutes ago I found myself walking around the kitchen, opening cupboards, the freezer, the fridge, just scouring for something to shove in my mouth to get that high...you know the one Im talking about, it feels sooooo good but makes you feel sooooo bad that it almost even wasnt worth the binge, except that it was? Yeah that one. Anyways, the thing is, I do the grocery shopping, I know whats in the kitchen and what isnt. I knew I wasnt going to find a bag of Lays potato chips but I knew there was dip left and some low calorie doritos. But alas, I had already used up that snack earlier today and honey child, I was NOT about to go back for seconds. Then it hit me: I am not hungry, I am bored. Once I figured that out, I promptly left the kitchen and came to this here spot to share this story, I dont know why, I mean, its hardly entertaining but I call this a stepping stone. Im on my way, people.
I didnt end up going to any restaurant today. But...I did know that I wanted to get some hair dye, and I did know that I wanted to go walking so I walked my butt to the nearest Sally Beauty Supply and got it. And let me tell you...that was a long walk. I took my pedometer and my total was 8339 steps,(3.9 miles) I was sweating so bad. I took a backpack with me and carried a big bottle of water, and some other stuff in there, like my keys.(Note to self: get smaller backpack.) I felt so excited for myself when I came home. Im inspired to do it again tomorrow, but Im thinking tomorrow I'll opt for a bike ride and then maybe I can start to alternate days and exercise. One day a walk, one day a bike ride. Im not really sure yet. But I do know that exercising makes a huge difference in how I feel about myself so I hope I can keep that with me when Im lacking motivation. I do need some new songs for the MP3 player so if any of you have ideas, please let me know.
