Just finished pre-week one! So tough! Not a new Mom, but definitely could use the support and motivation to keep going!

Its here!! Weekend time! What are you all going to try and do to stay on track this weekend? My plan is a 2 drink max, OK lets be honest, 2 drinks tonight and 2 on Saturday, plus adding in a 6 mile run this weekend. Also, instead of going out with the hubs for dinner tonight, we are going to make our own dinner together…

-
Yes, I like that!! Although I dont know if I can only have one window this weekend already!! ugh!! Ive got an event tomorrow night and date night with the hubs planned for Saturday night... ugh!! must focus!!
-
Ugh!! same problem. I heard something recently like if you do not watch your calories on the weekends (saturdays and sundays) then that means you are not being healthy for 104 days out of the year, or more than a quarter of the whole year. This is not new or ground breaking news, but a simple truth, but I am using this to…

In the interest of knowing everyone will tell me I need to eat 1200 calories a day, my goal is to eat 1000 calories a day, plus to work out and "gain back" at least 200 calories a day for a grand total of 1200. I have a desk job that results in an incredibly sedentary day. I will say that I allow myself to go over a little…

hi!! Your stats are similar and I think you are doing great!! I havent seen below 130 in over two years, and I know when I get close its really easy to go up and down and get discouraged!! Keep with the diet and training- I think you are doing amazing and nothing with this weight loss is linear, especially with water…

Gratto17- couldnt agree more about the yoga- its great for strength training! In fact, I am still sore from my class last Saturday morning- that I taught! My plan is to get back into some cardio. I have only really been doing yoga for the past really like year!! I know a little cardio and some light weight training, like…

Also on a plateau at the moment and really appreciate this advice on patience!! I will of course make sure Im checking cals, mixing things up, etc, but I think you are dead right on the pateince piece. Thanks for sharing!

Im in the same boat, feel your pain, I actually lost about 5 pounds (had them to lose) when I started this season of marathon training. In fact, its one of the reasons after a three year hiatus I decided to train for another marathon. But for the past three weeks I have plateuaed!! Have been watching my calorie intake…
-
Not anymore! :) Just tried to push it that particular year on a few long runs since I was running with a group and hadn't done my long runs with a group before.

I should clarify my time I posted in that this was my 3rd marathon and I ran the first half of it in 2:01 and then slowed down considerably the second half to get to my 4:18 time. Also, I should have known I couldnt keep the 9:00 pace up for the marathon distance during training because I bonked on the higher mileage (18…
-
You're half marathon PR is the same as mine!! Actually, I have run two half marathons that both got stuck on the 2:00:and some odd seconds. So frustrating actually, just want to break 2:00! anyhow, just wanted to relay that after running the half at 2:00, I ran a full at 4:18 about two months later (august half, october…

Ditto the reassess your shoe comment. Understand the shoe may have life left on it, but since its your first half, you may not have found a good fitting (size, fit, brand) shoe for you yet for long distance running. I would recommend heading to a local running store (fleet feet or whatever local running specific shop) to…

Hi, just saw this posting, Im a yoga teacher and just want to say keep up with the yoga while increasing distance for sure! It helps me! Specific poses I do that help are (check out yogajournal.com or google the names for the specifics) 1) Virasana (hero pose), kness bent, feet slightly wider than hips. On days when my…

Ditto Sonic, if I am on the treadmill I set it to 1% incline. I have read somewhere that 1% incline is a good simulation of an outdoor flat running surface. Obviously if you know the half marathon you are running will be more hilly than not, you may want to vary from there. I actaully try to do one run per week on the…

Seriously? Unsalted butter in your coffee? Actually, it almost sounds like how my yoga teacher tells me I should be eating ghee or clarified butter. This seriosuly helps with the cravings? I think I already get enough fat in my diet, I eat WAY too much cheese, and would be a little worried to overdo it in the fat macro.
-
Good ideas, I think I need to keep some greek yogurt at work! It is so filling and low cal. I also think its my body adjusting to getting into the higher mileage, too. If I think its bad now though, ugh, its going to be much worse when I get to the 20 miler long run weeks! And I know what you mean about the day after a…
-
Good point, right now MFP tells me Im at a 50% carb, 25/25 fat protein for the week. My fiber intake is also decent too, I'm at more than half my goal for the week. Maybe I need more protein?
-
Thanks for sharing! I also set my calories at no exercise assumed and look at my calories on a weekly basis. While this doesnt lead to rapid weight loss, it does help me esnure I can get to the finish line and through all my training runs. After a few year hiatus, I am training for a November marathon and planning this…
