My 3rd 5K is History!!

Posted by: JPars1334 on

Well, I did it. Another 5K is in the books. And another trophy! So far I am 3 for 3. I always win my division (60 ) b/c there are no other female runners that old :) Someone told me though--"Well, you beat all those people on the couch!!" Which I guess is true. It was funny, though. When I picked up my race packet I glanced at the roster and saw another lady's name on there that I knew and her age was 60. I thought then that maybe I'd have some competition. So I saw her and asked if she was running and she acted like I was CRAZY!! She was walking, of course. She and her daughters were really surprised to hear I was running. Anyway, I raced against myself and beat my last PR by 1:43. I finished in 36:46 which is still slow, but I am gaining a little speed every time. I started out WAY too fast--I knew better, but I got winded pretty quickly and had to slow way down to compensate. Oh well, you live and learn. Anyway I finished it. The frustrating thing was I was passed by a speed walker who finished the race in 32 minutes!!! ugh!!

OK, I have forgiven myself for yesterday's bad eating day. I am now looking forward to tomorrow's 5K. I love running!! It is supposed to be cool as well. I hate running in the heat! I am also up about 1 1/2 lb. I'm ok as long as I don't hit 145, but need to start watching again. I'm a little frustrated with the body bugg right now. I got it mid-Feb and for 12 weeks it was right on--within about 1/2 lb I lost exactly what it predicted I should. But in the past 10 weeks (Spring into summer challenge) I estimated I should have a deficit of 17,500 to lose an additional 5 lb. My deficit has topped 30,000 and I have lost 3.4 lb. According to the body bugg I should have lost about 8.5 lb. I didn't care to lose more than 5, but I'm frustrated that the numbers don't match. I know Willo will say I'm not counting my calories right, but I'm doing exactly what I was when the numbers were right. Don't know what to do. Evidently I need to stay at about a 400 cal deficit to maintain and that makes no sense. I may have to call the body bugg people and see if this is a common problem. I love it for how it got those last 15 lb off of me so easily, I just am a numbers person and like for them to match.

Bad eating day!

Wow, I feel it already. Glad today is gym day. I have eaten terribly today!!! I always weigh in on Thursday and usually treat myself to a cinnamon roll for breakfast on my way to work. Ok, first I needed a little to get me ready to run, so I ate 1/2 PBJ sand. Then off to run 3 miles. Then Chocolate Milk to feed my system after the run. Then I got the cinnamon roll. Not terrible--yet. The orange for snack, pbj for lunch then I went to McDonalds---I had a coupon for a free (can't resist that) brownie melt. Thought since it was my weigh in day today would be the day to do that. Not only that, but ice cream to go with it!!! I feel like---terrible right now--like I need a nap--too many carbs!!! The only saving grace is that today is the day I go to the gym and have a "Burn & Firm" class and a yoga class. I usually do 20 minutes or so of cardio before class as well. Maybe that will burn off all these carbs. Don't know why I do this to my body--it hates it!! Back to eating healthily tomorrow---probably even tonight after the gym--feeling UCKKY right now.

Smoking Hot

Probably the most unhealthy thing I have done is yo-yo dieting. For years I was up and down always either on a diet or looking for another one. Once I finally decided to live and healthfully and exercise regularly I reached my goal.

Maintenance

Posted by: JPars1334 on

Ok, I guess I am officially in "Maintenance" mode. Though I would like to lose a few more pounds, if it comes, it comes, if not, I am ok with it. In the past 6 weeks my goal was to lose 5 lb and I lost 1.2--That is ok. I am 60 years old and when I saw Helen (too skinny!!) and Estella (too wrinkled!!) I decided maybe I am ok where I am. Don't need more wrinkles. Would LOVE to get rid of a few pounds around the tummy, but don't know if that is gonna happen. I will continue to run and exercise and watch what I eat. Splurge when I want and get right back at it. Someone said to "be good 80% of the time". I think that might be the key to maintenance. Anyway, I am happy where I am so I am going to savor it. Happy weekend everybody!!
