And do I really want to live a chocolate-free life...not if I don't have to :) I wouldn't mind a pre-race evening walk. I think I will play it by ear. Either way I am sure the race will be fun.

I agree that Meg nailed it... dont beat yourself up about the chocolate - keep doing what you're doing and re evaluate, maybe you have to re evaluate weekly until you get into your sweet spot.. but as the body changes things change... keep re evaluating.. its an on going process :) <br />as for the race.. maybe the evening before the evening race you walk your 3 miles then rest all day up until the race... so you are fresh yet dont feel like you skipped a work out ... just a thought - <br />SugarSackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16898337816753183995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829140705577782116.post-46573466193833364542014-07-16T08:04:31.620-07:002014-07-16T08:04:31.620-07:00Thank you!

I...Yes, I do have afternoon snacks - usually fruit. I was just getting frustrated that I would eat a satisfying lunch and an hour or so later I was getting hungry. I didn't think about my metabolism changing. Maybe I need to re-evaluate my lunch and snack choices. <br /><br />You are so right about the glass of wine thing. Interesting how society views different things. A chubby girl having a candy bar is somehow "worse" than someone soothing stress with a glass of wine. Thank you for the positive reinforcement that a conscious treat is not bad. <br /><br />Rough days are going to come and go. Thank you for the encouragement :) Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208992401729752999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829140705577782116.post-30435353098011257222014-07-16T06:59:35.379-07:002014-07-16T06:59:35.379-07:00Yay for a loss!

That's awesome - especially being close to a new goal! <br /><br />As far as the race goes, I usually take an "active rest day" before a race - maybe do a shorter distance/slow pace than usual to get tuned up for the race. No reason to rest completely - best of luck and HAVE FUN!Heather @ Pretty Strong Medicinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383340232564132315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829140705577782116.post-18683358962356950132014-07-16T06:49:20.563-07:002014-07-16T06:49:20.563-07:00Awesome loss!
Oh man, if I had a dollar for all ...Awesome loss! <br />Oh man, if I had a dollar for all the times I go through the wanting to give up and throw in the towel... well let's just say I'd have a LOT of dollars! <br />And I agree 100% with what Meg has said (she is always so spot on!) If you are hungry, then eat.

I know you're so close to that next 'decade' and would have liked to hit it this week but just use it as motivation for the week ahead and know how happy you'll be to hit it in the coming days!

I eat lunch at noo...Do you have an afternoon snack? I eat lunch at noon and don't eat dinner until almost six. I HAVE to have something in the afternoon or I will cut someone. It's ok to eat when you're hungry. That's the whole point of food, right? To fuel us. AS you build muscle you're increasing your metabolism and burning calories faster. So, you might be hungrier than you used to be while following hte same meal plan and that's ok as long as you fuel with the right kind of stuff.<br />As for the Dove bar...Ok, so I have had this mental talk with myself a lot so bear with me. I know a lot of "skinny" people, you know, women who are just naturally slender without working out. My sister is one of those people. And she eats chocolate bars. Chocolate bars are not a crutch or an evil thing when eaten in moderation (which you totally did). It is ok to eat a chocolate bar! If you were eating a dozen of them then maybe you should question it. If you had a glass of red wine after a stressful day and posted it on social media people would be all "lady, you earned that, enjoy blah blah blah". That's what that chocolate bar was. A reward, a treat, something you enjoyed and didn't mindlessly eat. And if you were skinny (this is how I feel at least) you wouldn't even think twice about it. You would just think, hey it's yummy and I wanted it so I ate it the end.<br />Sorry, that got a bit rambly. Rough days suck. You survived it, you are awesome KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!
