I had an enlightening hour with Monica today going over stats, setting nutrition goals, and discussing a plan. I was surprised to discover that achieving my target BMI of 21-22% would require 30 pounds off my frame. That's like running with Helena plus a sack of flour strapped to my back. Dropping that weight would certainly make me run faster!!
I ran from my apartment today down to the reserve, did the one mile loop, and then came home. Running has felt frumpy and grumpy lately. It's weird. I feel like I'm going slow, and my legs don't want to go. Actually, my first mile or two feel kind of like the last few miles of a marathon, minus some of the exhaustion and soreness. The frustration and the sense of dragging is there. Even so, we got 'er done.
One of the big goals this week is portions. Today went well. I can't log much of what I ate today on fit day because it wouldn't be there. Even so, I can say that portions mostly went well. I'll be starting bright and early tomorrow logging on fitday.
To my coaches: Thanks for your help, Monica!! Hey, Mikey! And Dave, I have reviewed the necessary tuneage and, you're on!

Glad our meeting was enlightening and put some goals into perspective for you. Like we talked about at the meeting... the "Frumpiness" is from the detraining and you are now getting back at it for Zeitgeist and will start feeling faster and see a metabolism boost. Are you up for a "time goal" this time around at Zeitgeist? Let's talk about it if you are!
