Hi!
I am just giving up for September and looking forward to October.
I cannot get a handle on this emotional, stressful eating.

Good luck to each of you!!

Howdy all! I've been MIA for a couple days (still logging) but just not posting here. I think this whole marathon training thing has just gotten me completely burnt out. I know I need to eat to fuel up for the long runs, and then eat to recover but it has me exhausted! And not just "I'm tired" but like every-cell-in-my-body-wants-a-nap exhausted. Which I guess is normal considering what I'm doing (and I'm not getting any younger!) LOL! I think I've been a real joy at work too. Woke up today though and felt amazing. I think the evening apt at the salon for a little pampering, refreshed color and cut, a glass of wine and some laughs w/my stylist helped a lot too.

Anyhoo...
I went back and counted my red days this month and I'm doing (shockingly) better than I thought. I have been eating more towards maintenance since right now losing wt isn't a top priority.

Looking over our happenings and it looks like it's been a little rougher month for a lot of us! Lots of workouts w/big race deadlines coming up, emotional eating, work challenges. Good news is October is right around the corner. I'll still be a maniac (my race is Nov 8th) but I'm looking forward to a winter of lifting and doing 'normal' workouts again!!

Today was an insane day. No exercise today but I surpassed my 10, 000 step daily goal by 2pm! Haven't stopped yet and tomorrow will be just like today.

Took Sweet Baby James to a tiddler swimming class again - poor thing had a very wobbly bottom lip because the water was cold. He didn't want to leave the pool though.

As expected, today was just as crazy as yesterday. I'm exhausted.

I've lost track of just about everything in my life over the last week, including my stats here. But I'm logging!

I think to finish out the month I'll just post red or green and whether I exercised or not just to keep it simple and still be accountable.

So today, the 27th, was green and I walked 11 miles.

I have been having MFP issues! I normally log in on the app from my phone, but for whatever reason, all the discussions in the group disappeared As a rule, I generally don't go near a computer when I'm not at work so haven't been able to log in and check things here. They're still missing from the app (I'm on a computer now). Although on the plus side I can see everyone's profile pics better (cute dog @R_Queenie !)

I've also kind of lost track of (and momentum for) some accurate logging. Boo! I think my last few were red, green, red. Good thing we've got a new month coming up soon! October is my last month of marathon training (yikes!). I did 6 miles this weekend. Next week is 17, then another low one, followed by 20. Marathon date is 11/8. Not much longer!

@Laughter_Girl You will rock the half! I know it!! You need a couple weeks of reduced miles before a race like that. Stay hydrated and think positive thoughts!
@jenthibert I'm expecting awesome stories of your marathon walk!! Not much longer for you either. Woop woop!
@k80flec awwww, I bet that water was chilly for your grandson, but at least he warmed up and had a good time! Is he swimming on his own??
