Sunday Weigh-In
Oct. 7th, 2007 09:09 pm
Weight: 165.6 lbs.
Time: 32 minutes
Distance: 2.82 miles
Speed: 6.0 mph
Calories: 313
I've run four times in eight days, which doesn't sound like much as I'm typing this, but I'm pleased with myself anyway. :) I gained weight this week, but I think some of that is muscle; my legs are noticeably larger, and my stomach hasn't really bulked up much. I've also been eating poorly the past few days. I notice that when I stretch myself diet-wise I tend to rubber-band back into poor habits. At some point I'll find a healthy equilibrium; it's just a matter of taking things one meal at a time.
For the past few weeks I've been making a concentrated effort on being disciplined; meeting commitments that I've made, doing things I said I would, getting into the routine of things that are generally good for me. Running, for example, I've got a good handle on, at least for now. Writing, not so much, though I have been fairly diligent about that as well. Meditation is the last great frontier as far as that's concerned, and it's really just a matter of freeing up my mornings so that I don't feel rushed out the door. This means taking care of as much as possible the night before.
I've been thinking about how I come off to other people a lot. It's strange, but as I get more comfortable here, the more I let old habits that I've suppressed come to the forefront. This mostly involves letting my brain run ahead of my mouth, so that I'll say something that sounds incredibly, astoundingly boneheaded but it's really just my mouth skipping several words to catch up to my inner monologue. (At least, that's what I tell myself.) Thankfully I still have a bit of a censor so I don't come off as too terribly weird. :)
