I've been half attempting the weight watchers tracking and half training for this 10K. I've definitely scaled back the number of days I exercise. I've had some amazing runs over the past few weeks since I stopped training so hard. In fact, I've gone back to actually enjoying running and how my body feels during it. It helps that the weather is abating and sliding into Fall. Crisp mornings of running are way easier to stomach than "80% humidity 80 degrees already at 6am" mornings. The only ongoing issue I'm having is my right foot/ankle is bugging me a bit. It's nothing major. Just annoying that's all. It's fine when I run though. It doesn't help that I have an ingrown toe nail and a scratch on my other toe from the stupid cat. (TMI, sorry). Runner's aren't known for their immaculate looking feet....
Diet: It's not a diet. It's a lifestyle change. I'm trying to change now so that when fall deepens and turns into winter and my activity plummets (which I know it will) I don't gain all this weight I worked so hard to lose, back. I go in spurts with tracking. I'll do really well of writing it down and but won't get the looking up part done so I've had a few bad days in a row here. It definitely continues to force me to be more conscious of my eating habits and takes some of the fun out of going out to eat. Especially when its at a restaurant that doesn't publish nutrition information (I'm looking in your general direction TGI Fridays!).
Weight today was up but still at 143.2 that's post run, post eating breakfast. I will judge tomorrow morning when I step on the scale.
