Well I kept pretty active with running in 2015 through mid-December as I ran a local Santa run and Hot Chocolate 15K.
As for my food issues and trying to fix them, my dietician fired me last fall. She wanted me to stop running and accept my body where it was. I told her I could not do that - at least not right at that moment as I had a huge trip for the Avengers Challenge in November. We were not a good match personality wise, so it was for the best. So I guess that was that. I was hesitant to find another dietician, so I put that on hold.
I still SPIN on Monday nights. Tuesday nights I have been working with a personal trainer since January. I took a break on running hoping I'd lose weight. Which I really have not. It has been exceedingly frustrating.
So I am registered for the 2017 Star Wars Races. The Challenges. My trainer told me to visualize running in January 20 pounds lighter as that is basically just a pound a week of weight loss a week. So that is my goal, to let go of 20 pounds.
I've gotten as high as #208. It has been very, very frustrating. I could blame this on menopause, emotional eating, or a sugar addiction. But I think I have proven to myself the phrase that you cannot outrun your fork.
Weight as of yesterday: #198.4
My current TDEE at 5 foot 4 and lightly active (1-3 times a week) = 2194
To lose 20 pounds I need to have my daily calories fall between 1300-1750.
1. I will record my food here or on My Fitness Pal.
2. I am going to try to stop eating 2 hours before bed as I actually eat quite well during the day.
3. The Star Wars Light Side Galloway Challenge Plan starts in September. I will follow it. I am very good at getting my training in.
