“Hangry”

I just got out of the dentist.  Everything was fine, and I was given complements on how well I brush and floss.  The hygienist said it was remarkable how little work she had to do on my teeth.  I was relieved, as dental visits always get me rather riled up.  

I am now so damn hungry!!!!!!  This is the second day this week where I did not eat anything all day long (the other day was in anticipation of the incorrect dental appointment).  But, I need to wait until dinner, as I stick with the hard learned lesson of eating appropriately and have finally taught myself restraint in not eating just willy-nilly as was my normal pattern when I used to weigh ~290 pounds.  I have been in the normal BMI range now for roughly 15 years, but it was a hard to learn change in myself to get there.  

But, I am damn hungry and feel I could eat an entire grocery store!  So, it will be delightful when we have dinner.  

I ran 11.5 miles this morning…. hitting the pavement at 5:15 am.

  2. I've never had to fast before going to the dentist. I know that when I've had my colonoscopies, I've been ravenous afterward.

  3. When you say "hitting the pavement" . . . :)

    Actually, I have just read two consecutive blogs about falls, so I was primed . . . :)

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
