Over Eating Triggers

Thinking back over the last few months, (and even the last few years), I'd say the following situations account for the majority of times I have over eaten.

1. Boredom accompanied by extra cash.

2. Being tired when I get home from work.

3. Failure to plan meals and snacks.

4. Putting off going to the grocery store.

5. Drinking alcohol, especially at bars.

6. Waking up with a major hangovers

7. Being offered free food

8. Traveling

March Miles


That's how many miles I ran and walked in March. Thirty-five! I tracked them at Map My Run, which was a lifesaver for figuring out how long my lunch walks are (1.42 miles!). These include 4 miles in the rain (properly attired or course), 3.1 at the 5K, and 2 while my friend was in town this weekend. It feels so good seeing progress like this, even though I'm avoiding the scale for a bit. April's off to a good start as well, two down, dozens to go!

1. Follow my training schedule ( Yoga today, 4.2 miles Monday, yoga Tuesday, 2 miles Wednesday, 2 miles Friday, 2 miles Saturday with yoga)

2. Average under 2500 calories

3. Stay away from the scale
