I think I need to blog more about my eating habits since I've been feeling a little out of control lately. I've managed to contain it pretty well this week, but it's a constant struggle, especially in the hours between when I get home for the day and restaurants/the grocery store close.

I've already learned not to keep the foods I want to binge on in my apartment. But with the grocery store being a mere 3 block walk away, it's easy for me to decide I want something and be at the store buying it before I really know what's happening. I also manage to convince myself occasionally that because I have to walk to get it, it's somehow better! Obviously, though, walking 6 blocks does not make up for eating a box of brownies (my recent binge of choice).

Well, one thing I'm trying now is to eat more, earlier in the day so I'm not hungry when I get home. For instance, yesterday, I had to be in my journal office working for an hour, then class for 2 hours, then 2 more hours at the office. All I ate beforehand was breakfast (oatmeal and a WW muffin). So, I was starved when I got home and even though I ate (a lean cuisine and later some popcorn and snacks), I kept thinking about going to just buy a box of brownies and eat them all. I didn't but seriously, every night all week this is what I think about.

Anyway, today I had my oatmeal and a fiber 1 bar before class, then an hour later (around noon) got some food on the way to class, and I'll probably get some food at school before I head to the office for a little. The problem is that at this point I only have 15 points left for the day and that makes me a little panicky. I usually have 20+ when I go home for the night, and today I'll probably have just enough for dinner and no snacking. I guess that's the point though, right?

I did run my 2nd day of C25K on Sunday and it went well again. Today is day 3, and I am trying to figure out when I will have time to run it. I should have gotten up to go before class but it just didn't happen. Hopefully I will be done in the office tonight by 6 or earlier and go. Otherwise, I don't have class tomorrow, but I do have weigh in and a meeting about my A paper, and then I have to finish all of my editing on the journal article so I can go to Phoenix on Thursday (a subject for another post). It will get done in the next 2 days though.
