In one week from now I should be done with my first 1/2 marathon and enjoying some delicious food! Well, I can dream about the food right? So the count down to my first 1/2 begins, six days! I really don't want to fail in this area too. This morning's run felt good, in fact I probably did more miles than I should have, but I was really enjoying the music and the pace today. I did increase the time I spent running just a little this morning and I hope to keep it there for next week as well. I did get in a few runs this week, but not as much as I wanted. Work was complete craziness again this past week and I really struggled just to get out of bed on time to make it to work this week. I think I'm ready for my race, I still don't care how long it takes to finish, just as long as I finish! This week is a taper/rest week. I still plan on trying to walk in the mornings before work. I just seem to feel better when I do. I have been craving peanut butter and french fries lately....can't tell you why, but I have. The week has been slow because of tapering for the race, and this week will be slow also, resting up for the race. No excitement in the exercise front at all. I don't really plan on trying anything new.
On the food front I did well on staying on the program, but the scale was not my favorite place this week. I went in on Friday morning before a class for work to weigh in. My number this week is 159.2, which is actually a three pound gain from last week. I am really tired of going up and down on the scale, I am happy that at least I'm still under 160, but so tired of being stuck here in the 50's. So we have decided to not worry so much about the numbers right now and just focus on the race, then after the race I can push just a little harder to get under the 150 mark. So this is my brief check in this week. Till next time keep moving everyone! ~ Darcy
