I think it's half my problem. I've been on WW for more than 3 years so I'm just used to thinking in terms of "eating" light. But at the end of the week when I've got 50 points banked from activity and they are not used - that's probably a hint. <br /><br />I eat a lot of high fiber foods, tons of veggies, some fruits so I eat all the time just low point things... I'll have to experiment and then it's whatever. do the best I can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06682010895114305173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311378112082969638.post-68931734981677706162010-11-30T15:12:19.451-05:002010-11-30T15:12:19.451-05:00Nice run!

Don't the double-digit ones make you feel amazing?<br /><br />I've done a lot of reading, and it sounds like with marathon training, most people actually gain some weight. You might want to shift your focus from weight to just exercising and eating well when you start training for the marathon.<br /><br />Also, you probably should eat your points so you don't stall your metabolism. Lots of exercise and little food is a sure way to gain weight.<br /><br />Keep it up, girlfriend!! I'm so excited to train 'with' you for our first marathons in spring 2011!!!!financecupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781586611582887524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311378112082969638.post-20496193351321205682010-11-28T18:01:15.198-05:002010-11-28T18:01:15.198-05:00Many thanks Jason, Lesley and Sara for your commen...Many thanks Jason, Lesley and Sara for your comments - I really appreciate them.<br /><br />I'm happy that I'm healthy, strong and running I will not beat up the body that has fueled this journey. I will love every blip on the scale and fluctuation in pounds - I will trust that with hard work and good eating, things will work out to where they should be.<br /><br />I looked down at breakfast this morning and really did feel like an athlete, egg whites, left over steamed kale and left over (dry) baked sweet potato slices... that's a long way to come from pancakes and sausage. HA! ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06682010895114305173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311378112082969638.post-30934367928906830802010-11-28T15:21:44.835-05:002010-11-28T15:21:44.835-05:00Nice job on the 10 miler and the best part is that...Nice job on the 10 miler and the best part is that you did it in those terrible conditions which means you can run in anything. There is nothing out there that can stop you. When things get tough just think about the 10 miler in the awful conditions with the illness.<br /><br />I run in all weather b/c you never know what you are going to get on race day and it just amkes you mentally tougher.<br /><br />As for the weight....unless you are weighing yourself at the exact same time of the day I would ignore it. Weight will fluctuate always but you knocked off 80+ lbs and that cannot be taken away from you.<br /><br />You Rock!!!!!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311378112082969638.post-33202741304694516342010-11-28T09:08:42.893-05:002010-11-28T09:08:42.893-05:00CONGRATULATIONS on 10 miles (and no walking!) - aw...CONGRATULATIONS on 10 miles (and no walking!) - awesome accomplishment. I am so happy for you!! :) I agree with Lesley - since you've been sick your body is probably fluctuating/recovering/etc. and you will be back to normal soon. When I did WW (everything right) and GAINED, it always seemed to be because I was gearing up for an EVEN BIGGER LOSS the next week! Maybe you will too?! ;) Have a good week!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382569552132982982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311378112082969638.post-21836103709245032952010-11-27T23:09:37.288-05:002010-11-27T23:09:37.288-05:00Woo-hoo, congrats on the 10-miler... and seriously...Woo-hoo, congrats on the 10-miler... and seriously, don't worry about the weight thing... it's probably within your natural fluctuation and some fluid retention... you'll be back to normal soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311378112082969638.post-86947409159181373022010-11-27T21:28:41.298-05:002010-11-27T21:28:41.298-05:00Thanks Caroline - and you'll get there too :)Thanks Caroline - and you'll get there too :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06682010895114305173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311378112082969638.post-75085572382311234212010-11-27T20:29:07.796-05:002010-11-27T20:29:07.796-05:00Good job on running your 10 miles!
