Well, I haven't posted in a while and you guys are so great to get after me!! I posted on the chat board my confession. I am up to 149.6 lb!!! Haven't been updating my weight hoping I could get it back off and wouldn't have to confess!!
I am hoping TBL show will motivate me!!
I'm on week #6 of my 12 week program!! It's been really hard, though with the running. I am on week #6 which consists of 26 miles of running (oops, I think I put 28 on the board). 6 today, 3 tomorrow and Thursday, 10 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday. When I run I get sooo hungry. Plus I drink oj and usually eat a banana before I go out (200 cal) and drink chocolate milk-coach says to (200 cal) after I run. That's all before breakfast! Then when I run more than 4 miles, I have to take in sports drinks or other forms of nourishment along the way (more calories!!) Then after I run I am so hungry that I eat. With all that figured in, I am taking in even more calories than I burn. And that is another issue. I wear a Garmin GPS when I run to track my mileage, etc. For 3 miles it says I burn around 300 calories and my body bugg says I burn around 600---what to do??? I imagine it's somewhere in the middle??? Coach says that some people gain when they are in training for a big race. Wonder if they lose after the race :) I'll have to ask that question.
Anyway, I feel better to have confessed and am not being dishonest anymore. I am going to try to start weighing in only once a week and staying more on track. Guess I'm just gonna have to be a little hungry.
Last Saturday's run was hard and it was 9 miles. I'm wondering how I'll do 4 more in about the same amount of time :( Anyway, week 8 begins speed building so we'll see. I just have to trust the program just like I did the c25k and hopefully it will work out the same.
My goal is just to finish the half in less than 3 hours. If I do that, I will be a success (regardless of what I weigh!!!)
Thanks for listening and being concerned about me. I love all you guys!!!
