Every time I get an urge to "run" to the store, I have decided to take a walk. The walk lasts until the urge passes. The urges are becoming less frequent. After all it has been 14 days. And it takes 1 to 2 weeks to retrain yourself when overcoming bad habits.
Today, only 8 urges... so far!

PS tomorrow, I will wear a pedometer!
PPS I walked for 243 minutes
PPPS doesn't that equal like 16 miles if you're walking approximately 4MPH?
PPPPS the good news is that I did not venture to one store today. Or for the past two weeks other than groceries = necessities.
