Bored Eating

               So yesterday, January 5, 2012 was my first day of running in about 2 weeks.  The reason that I have not been running was due to plantar fasciitis issues in my left foot.  I decided to pull my big boy pants on and run.  I ran for about 2.5 miles.  One reason for my decision to start running was due to my unscheduled weigh in yesterday morning.  Once I stepped on that scale, I found myself NEEDING to start working out, I found myself NEEDING to start getting my exercise in.  I was up about 8 lbs, to the heaviest I have been since last year, 272 lbs.     
     Now I realize that one day does not make a diet, or a does not make me lose any weight, however one day at a time does help and it all starts out with just one day.  The run yesterday was good.  It was difficult because I am out of shape again, but I finished the entire run, even though there were a couple of places I wanted to stop.  Now that I have started, I will keep doing it, or at least try to do it everyday.  My biggest problem now is the dieting.  As much as I want to purchase weightnot, I just don't know if I will have the money to invest in it.  We will see later this month, but at the current moment, I have to try to do it myself.  I currently use an app on my phone, myfitnesspal, which really helps to keep track of what I eat.  It has almost everything that is in a grocery store, listed on the app and all I have to do it just plug in what I normally eat.  The difficulty is when I am at home at night, just sitting there, after I do my homework, after I walk my dogs, after I do everything I need to do, sitting there reading or watching tv...and I get bored.  Unfortunately, I am a bored eater...I get bored, to do something...I eat.  It is something I really have to fight against.  I will keep trying, but it hasn't been a real good couple of days.
      Starting Monday, I will start my Tae bo and update how that goes, but for right now, this is the best I can do.  I will continue running, I will do the tae bo and update my weight.  My weigh day is Monday, so I will not have any unscheduled weigh-ins until that point.
