So, I finally did it.

I got enough motivation to get my ever-widening rear on the treadmill (a post about that to come), I locked the baby who likes to stick her fingers in it in with Dad, and walked.
I got in about thirty-five minutes when I felt shaky and had to stop, I didn't want to fall. I figured I would get off a while, get my bearings back and finish the one hour I had set out to do.
Then I opened a kitchen drawer (aimlessly,) and started organizing it, swept the floor, let the dog out... and stepped in front of the fridge.
"Man, I am hungry. Why am I so hungry? When did we eat? One hour ago? I have to eat something, why do I have to eat something?"
It's impossible NOT to listen to your body when it is telling you So Loudly To Eat Something. I had eaten dinner one hour ago. Then, as usual, I realized, "Oh. I'm low."
I had to force myself into a chair and test. 58 mg.
This brought on, by eating a meal and exercising, I know better.
Wait, what's better, not eating and not exercising? Yes. For me, yes. But, it doesn't work that way. I have to eat. Exercise, well, I have been avoiding it very well for a long time. Problem is, I can't eat a regular meal and then not expect to be aimlessly pacing searching for food one hour later.
I guess I need to exercise BEFORE any food hits my body in the early morning? Any other RHG'ers out there? How do you get any exercise in? (Hangs head in shame. I really did give up on in when I nearly passed out while walking before.) I'd love to hear. :)
