Thursday Weigh-in: 2.16.12

So, I'm up a bit.

1.2 pounds to be exact, but I'm not entirely surprised (or even upset) by this.

Homesickness hit me HARD this week.

And, I was feeling kind of lonely (damn you Valentine's Day) (I normally don't notice/care, but it felt like it exploded all over me this year). Anyways, I fell into a old (bad) habit and ate my feelings...

Cupcakes, Reece's PB Cups, Chinese food, Italian food...you name it, I ate it. To be honest, had I not ran a metric butt-ton this week, I would have gained more than I did.

So, where does this leave me? Well, I gained. So what? I binged. Again, so what? I can't go back and fix it. I can't change it. It's done. All I can do is try to eat better today and set some goals for the week to come, so that's exactly what I'm going to do:

1. Track - duh, I know I need to get back into tracking everyday, not just when I remember
2. Run - 4+ miles most days
3. Hula-hoop - 5 to 10 minutes most days for abs, plus a few minutes with my new arm hoops
4. Sleep - I've gotten into the bad habit of staying up until 2 in the morning - I need to get back to sleeping by 11 so I can get up and greet the day.
5. Try a new (healthy) food
6. Make fruits and veggies a daily occurrence (I admit, I sometimes forget to make them a priority)

Pretty easy goals. I know I can do every one of them.
Notice, I didn't put a weight goal on this list anywhere. Why? Because I really can't control it, I can only control what I put into my body and what activities I do.
Until next week (and I'll try to do an update between then and now)...keep on running!
