Run 72, 2008
by Administrator ~ August 29th, 2008. Filed under: Training Notes, Training Runs.My “diet”, really isn’t one, but let’s call it one anyway. It has several common sense features such as counting your caloric intake per day and making sure that intake is from a balanced diet with no restrictions. According to the data gleaned from the nutritional web site, my daily caloric need if I am somewhat active is 2638. This information and more can be found by clicking the link “Nutritional Tools” in the left hand column of this blog under “Useful Information.”
I started weighing myself again after the marathon and was at 191 pounds, but that is high due to being overly hydrated from a little too much salt intake. Over the next few days my weigh dropped rapidly to it’s normal 185 ish range, but this morning it was 183. Of, course your weight varies by as much as 5 to 8 pounds or more on a daily basis depending on your real weight and your state of hydration. Which is why it is important to use the weekly average as the true indicator of your weight.
But during the week the goal is to have my maximum weight at 179 pounds, never higher no matter how much salt I eat and water I drink. Right now the high seems to be 186.5, but I am striving for the 179 mark as a weekly high on my way, of course, towards my ultimate goal of a maximum of 164 pounds.
For now, I am hoping to at least glimpse 179 pounds which will be a huge milestone. After that we shall see.
