Holy crap! This says I am at a healthy weight. My BMI is 26 and that is usually still considered over weight. Interesting...2 -

My little guy was sick yesterday, so missed my run. Was still pretty stiff from my long run anyway. At this point in training, it is important to hit the long runs, so that’s the focus. Have really been craving salt this week (not normally a salt person) & this is a real issue when running in hot weather. Some runners even take salt supplements & carry salt packs on long runs. Have been upping my salt intake & it is working. My gradual carb loading has begun & will intensify in about a week. The Runner’s World book on marathon & half marathon nutrition has been amazing during my training. Am following their carb loading plan, which is very healthy & reasonable (no entire loaves of bread & bags of chips, unfortunately!)
Welcome back Scotty!! Bianca, same result with the SBMI! I will have my annual physical late summer, and am going to ask my doctor about it.

I know right !?!
Isn’t it great ?!
I’m at 27 on their chart and also in the healthy weight rage.
I had put in my goal weight of 135 and the thing said something like “going to a lower weight will not make you healthier”
What a concept !
I like SmartBMI !1 -
Have fun at your virtual royal wedding Lisa !

Lol, me too!! Was out late Friday but up at 6:30 am & my boys watched with me!! No run yesterday given the sleep deprivation!! Loved how she incorporated so much of her American & African-American heritage. The Mulroney kids represented Canada beautifully! It was lovely & they are so in love!! It put me in a great mood! Have lots of observations about the fashion but too much to write here. The wedding dress was controversial but I think it was stunning! Just watch for the copycat trends for wedding & regular dresses!!

I thought she was stunning too.
I like the simple natural yet sophisticated look.
Oh and the fashion ! No kidding !!!

Sick child at home, so no 20 km run today. Will do it tomorrow or Friday depending upon how my son is doing. He was stung by a wasp last week, but had a delayed allergic reaction & a bunch of hives yesterday. He is ok & on prescription antihistamines now which are working. I had no idea that people could have delayed allergic reactions! Just when I think that I have this parenting thing mastered, something new comes up!1

OK, 20 km done! It was very hot out, even early morning & walked the last two km for my back to stretch All things considered, not bad and the first 12 km were really great. I am signing off until race day on June 3rd. I have a couple of shorter runs next week and will be doing yoga, finalizing my playlist for the race and trying to get mentally ready. Am happy that I managed not to put on weight this week. Have to admit that given my calorie burn today, I have been eating a lot of forbidden food this afternoon (a doughnut, 3 ice cream sandwiches). It’s like pregnancy cravings! Thank you my fierce friends for your inspiration and support!! Have a great weekend!!1

Great work Lisa !!!!!!!!
It is soo inspiring to read your training journey.
I am reliving my running days through you
I started my season too by switching off the Beast Cardio to a run outside and I am surprised at my "natural pace ". I am faster than the previous years and this is at the start of a season ! The 25+ pounds I have shed from last summer as well as at the strength training sure made a difference and that's motivating !!!
Anyway, I love reading your posts. It keeps me excited about it and ahhhhh what to say about that Runner's High, right ?!
Delicious.
Have fun on this last stretch !!!!!!!!

Ok I've had a horrible week. My cold took a lot out of my and I did a lot of comfort eating and not a lot of moving. I've only gotten a few workouts in this week. I think I'll restart it. Or double up both days this weekend to catch up. Even my water dropped tremendously.3

Sorry I have been absent you guys. I have been working out regularly and am still following the Body Beast calendar but I just haven’t been posting here about it. Sorry! I will try to be better. This is my post this morning to the metlaways forum....
I had a fun and food filled Memorial Day weekend and I am now dealing with the guilt of overindulging. I am trying to tell myself not to let it get me down but it’s always harder to say that after than before you let loose a bit. I have learned on this journey that sometimes I am just going to overeat and break my routine and that how I treat myself after has a lot to do with how long that “break” lasts. I must be kind to myself! I work out 5 days a week, meal prep, and bust my butt to maintain my weight loss Darn It! So what I stuffed myself for nearly 4 days in a row!! RIGHT?!
It’s all about where I go from here. I must get my head in the right place, forgive myself, and put it behind me. Lucky for me, I have an amazing fitness buddy @KrystinaMTL and she keeps me looking and pushing forward. Sometimes you need someone to disrupt all the noise in your head and remind you, it’s all good.
Today is the first day of my week and I plan to get in a workout this morning and get my meal prep done for the next 4 days. I am hiding away all the remaining cookies and breads left over from the weekend so I don’t have to see them anymore and will work to keep my calories down. I will skip my daily weigh ins for a few days because I don’t need the scale to rub in my face what I know already but once I am back into my routine, I will start again.
Thank God for new starts! I will continue to remind myself that I am doing just fine and this past indiscretion was some of the necessary “Down” time in the balance of life. It’s all good. ONWARD!

My plan for the week...
Monday- Rest
Tuesday-Bulk Arms
Wednesday- bulk shoulders
Thursday-bulk chest
Friday-bulk legs
Saturday- I hate working out on Saturday!! bulk back
Sunday-Rest
It will be a challenge to complete my 5 day workout plan this week because I usually like to have 2 days in a row off from working out so I don’t feel like I am perpetually working out week to week. I will do my best!2 -
