25. Ahoy there!

I got a worried email from Ilan, so I guess I need to get back in the swing of blogging. I haven't not been blogging because I'm concealing any horrendous pcp slip-ups or having any mental issues with the program. It's just it feels like life now, not so extraordinary to need blogged out. I make my food, I exercise, I don't really have any cravings except for when we go out to the bar that serves gourmet hotdogs with a choice of 50 different toppings or when I walk down the frozen pizza aisle at the grocery store when I'm already hungry, but I got those cravings before pcp too, so even they are nothing special. The way it is now, with the diet and the exercises, I could do this forever. I don't feel deprived or weird or wiped out or resentful. I feel like this is real life!

My knee still hurts so I'm not back to jumping yet, but I am walking and seeing huge progress in the exercises.

I am having an issue with the indulgence. I don't really want anything. Well that awesome hotdog, but that's way over the calorie limit and I'd really like to break myself of the association of eating a hotdog every time I go to that bar. It's my grandma's 80th birthday next Saturday and I think I might use it then so that I can get something besides a bowl of iceberg lettuce with some shaved carrots and red cabbage. So maybe a side of mac and cheese? I just don't know.
