Exercise & Dangerous Journey
I ran the 5.5 mile round trip to fetch an Amazon package, down five pounds in two weeks. The cruelty of one meal a day: by mid-afternoon I'm in hunger torture, but once dinner finally lands I could almost take it or leave it. We also opened Dangerous Journey with the kids.
Exercise
I didn't intend to run. I needed to stretch my legs though. An Amazon package had been delivered. It's a ~5.5 mile round trip. I started the walk and then eventually decided, "ehh, let's run it." I made it all the way there with ease. I chose not to run back while carrying a loosely packed Amazon box.
I’m down five pounds in the last two weeks. When my only meal is dinner, the mid-afternoon is hunger torture. Somehow, once dinner is finally served, I feel like I could take it or leave it. What's worse is that half the time, dinner is served late enough that by the time the kids are done eating, I could either rush and cram my dinner down so that I'm done eating when it is time to put the kids to bed, or wait to eat until after I've wrapped up their bedtime. If it has been 22-or-so hours since you last ate, you want to take your time and enjoy your meal, so the extra hour long wait is the obvious choice.
Bedtime Reading
One of the items in the Amazon delivery was the Dangerous Journey adaptation of Pilgrim's Progress. The book is hardback, thick, glossy pages, color illustrated and all that. Top-notch stuff. Breaking from our usual tradition of reading while the kids are in bed, we instead piled onto the couch so they could all see the pictures.
