I was still tapering for my first milestone race and carbo-loading the last few days before the race. But bottom line, I wasn't tracking what I was eating, so I ate more calories than I burned. And the end result of that... I gained weight, again.
So, now that I've completed my first milestone race, it's time to get focused again. I need to hit the big reset button and get back to the disciplines that allowed me to lose my first 25 pounds. I know that the Weight Watchers approach works, as long as I actually follow it! And following it simply means tracking what I eat and stopping each day when I get to my allotted points. It's that simple. If I continue to follow the program, I will achieve my weight loss goal.
As I said last week, and as I will actually do this week... Reset, refocus, resume.

I always gain a little weight while on taper, don't sweat it. Just get back on the "diet horse"!
ReplyDeleteDo you weigh yourself daily, at the same time of day, and plot average, median, and std deviations? You seem like a number cruncher and may like the activity, and it'll give you an accurate number for your weekly weight loss. Otherwise, you'll be subject to the whims of your body on that specific day and time. It may be more depressing than it need be.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry... you'lre weight will be down in no time! It's par for the course.
