So today I dug out my scale that measures body fat % so that I could plug in some data to calculate my "ideal racing weight". (as described in the quick start guide to racing weight by matt fitzgerald) Let's just say WAKE UP CALL!!! I know I don't plan to really race competitively, so it's not exactly a goal I'm setting for myself. But I was underestimating my current fitness. Let's just say I've been here before, 12 years ago when I busted my butt to lose weight for my wedding day. And then again before I lost weight pre-pregnancy.... I really can't believe I am up here again. I had been weighing myself so I knew how much I weighed but the body fat % shocked me bc I thought I had more muscle now.

I spent the next 30 min doing Pilates and reminding myself that two years ago I was so hurt that I couldn't run 20 feet and last November I finished a half marathon. And reminding myself that although having children isn't an excuse for gaining weight and keeping it on, it is an accomplishment that my body performed. And that in general, I'm pretty happy with my life and I'm healthy and in enough shape to run distances regularly.

But data is helpful and objective and I'm going to use it to stay more committed to my training and refocus. Especially if I think I'm going to run two halfs 5 weeks apart one of which is the glass slipper challenge.

So - 575/800 (1000...)

Did you do your body fat percentage first thing in the morning or after a sweaty workout? While your weight may be lowest then, body fat is highest because you have less than the normal amount of water in your body. That's what I remember from the literature that came with my body fat scale. Which reminds me that I haven't used that feature in a long time! Either way, it sounds like you have a good perspective on the whole thing!

Very good point. My water % was on the low side and I KNOW I've been a bit dehydrated lately from being sick and various other things. Still not going to explain the entire difference in my perception gap, but it's a good reminder to hydrate better all the time, not just for running.

Welcome - glad to have you! Ironically all the non-runners on here also keep me motivated to do my cross training. I love seeing all the different ways people stay fit.

26 minute walk. I had to cut it short because of the dark clouds & threat of rain. I'll try for more minutes later! Thanks

After a weekend of travel and too much eating, I'm trying to get back on the wagon. Today I had 90 minutes on the treadmill.

Hi everyone,struggling a bit with the app I downloaded so I am not quoting, however I take great encouragement from reading how many aren't where they want to be, and are cutting themselves some slack without giving up or making excuses. THANKS! it keeps me on track too and focused on the positives. Hope tp post tomorrow but I spent a little cash for a challenging personal training session so I don't know how my 50 yr old body will feel tomorrow.
