My training has hit a new level. I finished the half marathon distance on Saturday and have another 2 months to ramp it up another 13.1 miles. This isn't just about weight (though I still have 10 pounds to reach last years marathon weight) but about a healthy lifestyle. I have successfully made running a part of my life, unfortunately I'm not always good at monitoring the intake.
Last year after the marathon I ate like I was still training, and put on 10 pounds. Then the holidays stacked on 7 more. I was still running and justified the candy, snacks and extra helpings. I fell into the runners trap of eating more then enough to make up for the little bit I was running.
It is amazing how being accountable to this little program helps me stop the overeating. When I know I have to put it in my food log, I will say is that cookie worth it, and the answer is no. When I am not logging my food I usually say what the heck (which leads to more goodies and junk food and cravings). Here is to another wonderful year, and better habbits all around.
