5K is Tomorrow!

I'm excited for the big 5K tomorrow and looking forward to it being done so I can a) party and b) scale back a bit on the running. For some reason, my weight loss has been standing still. I've been carefully monitoring my calories but something funky is going on! Stay tuned for updates in a couple of weeks, hopefully I'll have weight loss news at that point!

I'm still chugging along like the little engine that could.

As part of my maintenance routine I continued entering all my food in thedailyplate.com.  I put that to rest but wasn't totally comfortable with not tracking the food I ate, so I quickly replaced thedailyplate with a personal food log.  I would document everything I put in my mouth along with the actual or estimated calories.

About 2 months ago, I put the food log to rest as well.  Thankfully, I have stayed within a 5 lb range and hope I can continue.

Recently, I realized that when I stray too far from my personal eating guidelines and still maintain my exercise routine that I will surely suffer the consequences.  The past two weeks I gave myself a little too much slack then did a "long run."  A day or two after the run my body and emotions gave me a rude awakening.  I was extremely fatigued and emotional.  Not good.  So, I will be keeping an eye on that!
