UGH! So I now remember why last year before the 1/2 marathon I gave up alcohol for the month leading up to the run... BAD WEEKEND HABITS!! I had a great week exercising and eating.. well better than normal haha but then Saturday night comes around and a night out with the girls turns into 2 slices of pizza at 2AM that I convinced myself I just COULD NOT live without. And then there is the DD coffee and egg sandwich the next morning to try and combat my headache... not. good. So here I am Monday morning and my mind is ready to go, pumped for a nice run. My body however, does not share that enthusiasm. Weekend bloat is something I have to do a better job of beating. I make great progress all week and then a few glasses of Pinot later, I'm back where I started.
MyFitnessPal is a great app that I have found is great for keeping me honest with myself about what I put into my body on a daily basis. I'm not as concerned with the caloric intake as much as the saturated fat, sodium and sugar. It's a great tracker for anyone looking for something to just keep yourself aware. And, make sure you log EVERYTHING!! For the first two weeks, I tried to convince myself that Chippi's didn't count... unfortunately, not true haha!
I hope everyone has a great Monday!! Happy running :) xo
