There, I said it.
I'm in the best running shape of my three year adventure, but I've gotten lazy. That is with my eating habits and strengthening.
So it's on to My Fitness Pal. I don't want to lose weight because I'm only a pound above my normal weight. This is about eating healthier than my recent choices, gaining some muscle (back), and staying strong for this stinking marathon.
I need to make sure I'm getting enough of the right calories.
What do you do to keep your weight in check while training?

It's such a hard balance! I like to reward myself way too much. To try to keep it in check I try to keep the snacks out of the house so there is no temptation.
ReplyDeleteI did really well on a trip to Trader Joe's and World Market today. Let's see if I can keep it up.
DeleteMy pants have been tight lately too... confirmed by the evil scale which showed a 4 lb weight gain since the beginning of June. Too many lunches and breakfasts out! So I'm going into counting mode too. I've used MyFitnessPal for more than a year and if I decide to actually use it, it keeps me on track.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way with My Fitness Pal. It only works if I use it.
