Love is in the air

Or maybe it’s just bacon. It elicits the same olfactory response in me as MHs’ cologne. My Knees get weak and my mouth starts to water and I want to jump on the source of the smell. The only difference is when I smell MH I usually burn calories and when I smell bacon I consume them. I am visiting my mom’s house so when I did my 3 miles I was in unfamiliar territory. However I was not going to let that keep me from exercising.  So I just turned on Noom started walking and went around the whole complex which is equal to a mile. I still needed 2 more miles and I saw that the gate was open and the mall was right across the street. So I decided to go across the street and start walking around the mall. As I was walking I started to stumble, I didn’t know if it was because it was hot and I was getting tired but I thought to myself I should not be tired yet. Then I noticed that I was really happy and in a good mood. That is when I realized the feeling and recognized the smell. It was bacon! The mall has a Ryan’s in the parking lot and I had just started to pass it when the smell of their breakfast buffet wafted pass my nose.  I have not had bacon since I first started trying to lose weight. If you have been reading my blog you know I love hamburgers and fries but bacon comes in a close second. So that smell made me want to take my walk right through their front door but I didn’t, it may have been because I didn’t have any cash on me but whatever the reason I didn’t go. It did however make me want to work a little bit harder and finish those two miles to get away from that smell, which I did. The only thing that put a damper on the walk was that after I walked 3 miles I had to walk up 3 flights of stairs to get to my mom’s house. Tomorrow I will start Noom before I walk downstairs so that I can make the walk up and down the stairs count.
