A month ago my weight was in the hight 160’s. I weighed myself the other day, and my weight had increased to 178 lbs. Ouch!!!! Yeah, I have been eating badly. I had taken a trip to Las Vegas, and ate at Jack In The Box multiple times. I love those Jumbo Jacks! *droool* And the Ciabatta breakfast sandwiches were awesome. And then there were the small mexican restaurants where ate these fabulous burritos and chimchangas! Yummy! And the all you can buffets! I can eat a lot…And that was all in EARLY December. Then come the holidays with catered lunch at work, and everyone bringing in snacks. And going with friends for lunch at Red Robin. And for some stupid reason I bought a bag of Butterfinger candy bars and a bag of M&Ms…stupid, stupid, stupid! I ate them all in like two days. If the junk is around, I will eat it.
But now that we are passed the holidays, I am going to make every effort to start eating low-fat again, and reasonable portions.
I am continuing to workout. After running the Las Vegas Marathon (I finished in 3:36:30) on December 2nd, I jumped right back into training for the Shamrock Marathon on March 16th. But just because I am running 30-35 miles a week, and doing martial arts classes, and spinning, etc, doesn’t allow me to eat anything I want. My weight still starts to creep up if I don’t keep an eye on it. So I am going to get back to work eating healthy again, and get this weight back off. I want to be below 170 when I run the marathon in March. I am going to need all the help I can get in my effort to break three and a half hours so I can qualify for the Boston Marathon.
