Indication that I might be a stress eater...

Losing weight is not rocket science. Calories in, calories out. To lose weight, burn more calories than you ingest. Simple. Well, simple to know what you should do, but difficult to do it. Case in point, things have been a little stressful in the Hockman household as of late with Grandma in the hospital. I have handled it in healthy and unhealthy ways. For example, after a short hiatus, I have gotten back on the exercise track and am working on an 8 week learn to run program. I have made it to week 3, working up to 5 minutes of running followed by 1 minute of walking, repeated 6 times. That is good. Tonight, I took my recovery walk and came home and finished a Chocolate Wave cake from Meijer that I bought on Sunday. Three days is not an unusually fast time for a cake to disappear at my house, but usually I am not the only one eating it! Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking when I turned the package over after finishing it. I really did not need to see that there were 17 servings. I don't even want to talk about the calories per serving. Let's just suffice it to say that it was good cake. Tomorrow I run 6 minutes followed by a 1 minute walk, repeated 4 times, all followed by 2 more minutes of running. It may take the remaining 5 1/2 weeks of the program to run off the cake. I think it was worth it!
