Home from a quick trip to the homestead for the long weekend. It was a good visit, lots of home-cooked food. I discovered that I seem to have lost my taste for sweet baked things BUT eating a big meal sent me into binge territory. Something about the feeling of being ’stuffed’ made me want even more food! I talked myself out of it after a few extra slices of turkey but it was a frightening and somewhat surprising feeling.
I also went for 2 long hikes - total of more than 22 km over 2 days, which felt good. Hip is still sore so no running yet, and I am forcing myself to be very careful about that. In a perverse way, I am almost happy to have this injury. It proves I am being athletic! I hurt myself running! OK, I know that is very weird but there it is. Any little evidence that I am changing my ways gives me pleasure, even this…not that I would ever admit it.
I am going to have a hot bath, then get through some volunteer work I have let hang over my head for far too long. Dog will get one more brief outing tonight.
Tomorrow I will try both the scale and the tape measure…eewh. That will be fun.
….LATER…
What is going on? In the ‘careful what you wish for’ file: fell and twisted my ankle while out with the dog. Not serious enough to require attention, just enough to need rest and wrapping. This is not good.

Hope the injuries heal quickly. Did you take the dogs on the long hike? Sounds like a great weekend.
Cheers
