Hello all.... So last week I was knee deep in all my favorite outdoor activities. Mountain biking and trail running have left a permanent dirt tan line and I have greatly enjoyed all my freedom to participate in the activities I love. HOWEVER, I sure fell off the wagon over the last week when it comes to eating. I can blame two things for my calorie consumption. First, when on vacation, eat! Thats what vacation is for, to leave behind all your stressors and for me dealing with a diet is a stressor. And two, when in training for something eat appropriately. I am running the Davis Moo-Nlight half-marathon on July 16th and when Im required to run 8 miles in 100 degree weather you bet your ass Im going to eat. With that said, I do wonder how do you train on a diet?
I have never figured this out. Weight Watchers gives you extra points for exercise so I assume they want you to use these points for gatorade and power bars. But its still so hard in my mind. A plate of spagetti is like 20 points and I only get 29 a day. Do I just focus on the lower point diet versions of everything like G2 the low calorie sports drink? Or do I say F-it until the race is over? I hate this!! Training for events is second to getting pregnant when it comes to why I left Weight Watchers. Ill ask on Saturday at the meeting, lets hope she has an answer.
i hear ya sista. you can also post on Teresa's wall as she might have some suggestions, or her tribe might have some ideas as well. i have totally fallen off the wagon too with the kidney stones, the nausea, etc. i need to get back to the gym and back to tracking. hope we have a satur-date this week because i need u friend!
