Week one report
Weight: 143 (gained 1 pound!)
Miles ran this week: 18
Miles ran so far in my training: 18
Hip/stomach measurement 41"
My eating is out of control! Each shopping trip does get healthier. We have been removing "white carbs" out of our diet. Healthy eating is hard when I am off of work. My return to work on the 2nd (three school days before my husband reports back) might actually be a blessing. I seem to stick to an eating plan better on days that I am working. I will REALLY hit the nutrition hard on 1/1/14.
I have decided to use my hip/stomach inches as my guide. Fat in your mid section is the dangerous type of fat and it is what I need to loose. I hide my weight well with loose tops. Society would not see me as overweight. My BMI is on the cusp of being overweight. I just know that since my weight went over 135 pounds it has caused me to struggle as a runner.
I am CERTAIN that if I was not physically fit I would be extremely overweight. Physical fitness alone kept me slim and trim through my late 30's. I look at my life over the last 11 years, and a lot of stressful things have happened (along with aging/menopause and a slowing metabolism). It has been one year since my Dad die. Between the years of 2008-2012 Brad and I have lost both our sets of parents and settled estates. Stress adds weight.
Running wise this week I ran 3 times instead of 4 and I could feel it. By the time my LSD (long slow distance) run occurred yesterday I was tired! I waited for the heat of the day and was blessed that I could run 8 miles outside at the end of December in South Central Kansas.
