I haven't updated in forever it seems like! I had (still have, really, as my last one is tomorrow, but it's not as bad as the first ones) finals all month. I haven't weighed in in weeks and workouts have been non-existent too :( I also injured my leg running, did I write about that? I can't remember. It hurts at the very top every time I run. I'm planning to go see my dr about it hopefully before Xmas.

I am getting back on track TODAY though, I swear. I went to the gym and did over an hour of cardio :) It felt great! I also bought "New Rules of Lifting for Women." It's intimidating, but hopefully will go well. I would really like to lose a little bit more weight before Christmas. I think I will go weigh in Thursday if I can find a meeting near my parents.

WW and running update: I gained only .8 at WW this week! I'm thrilled with that. It's probably actually more since I didn't weigh in the week before and was on plan, but whatever. I'm still below that number I never wanted to see again :)

In other news, I hurt myself running yesterday. For the past few runs I have felt a bit of pain right at the top of my leg in the front, like where it connects to the torso. It never lasted long and honestly I didn't think about it much. But yesterday it will really painful walking home, and hurt the entire rest of the day. I had hoped it would subside overnight, but it hasn't. I'm really bummed. I googled and it looked like it could be muscles called the iliopsoas- in which case I read it takes a really long time to heal, since it's basically impossible to rest it entirely. Hopefully I'm wrong. I go home in 9 days and obviously if it's still hurting then I'll go to my dr (and I might go even if it doesn't hurt anymore). Until then, while it still hurts I'm going to have to avoid running :/

A little bit off topic from my usual posts, but I just signed up to adopt a soldier stationed abroad. I'm hoping I get some info in the next few days so I can send something out in time to get there for Christmas. I went to college in a military town, and I know a good number of soldiers, so I was very glad when I heard about this organization! If anyone else wants to do it, the site is adoptaussoldier.org. I read that you can use the USPS flat rate boxes and ship very cheaply.
