Y'all. Zumba. For real. AMAZE-BALLS. How did I never try it before now?!?! I'm addicted. Holy sh*t. Once this half marathon is over Zumba will be my new cardio jam. So I went last Friday and then I went this Monday and plan on going tomorrow. I earned over 10APs according to my fitbit! Crazy!
So, my half marathon is on Sunday, which means starting today I'm ramping up my carbs. Ugh. I know I'll gain weight this Saturday at my WI, but I'm trying to think of that fact that I'll do better on Sunday as a result. LOL
I'm definitely nervous for the half, but also really excited to cross another one off my bucket list!
Not sure I'll ever run another one, but at least I'll be able to say I've done it.
I'm taking a break from running after the half. Like a long break. lol. Switching to Zumba and weights for a while. At least until I start training in May for a triathlon in July.
Enough rambling about me!

MRSD - regarding the grapefruit, here's my guess. So the tracker does a nutrition scan for prepackaged food. Kinda like how the recipe builder adds the nutrition of all the fruits and veggies you add to a recipe which hikes up your points, I bet it's the same with prepackaged fruit. If there is really no sugar added, it'll be 0pp. HA on winning back the blanket you made! We won a raffle at our HOA meeting. No clue what we won, but apparently it's coming soon? LOL What'd you find out about surgery?
Elaine - WOOHOO on the huge loss!!!
Flickety - I've learned that the cleaner the diet, the cleaner my tummy is. Kinda like booze, I lose my tolerance for fried foods. They just bother me now.
Sunarie - how cute of your soon! Hope the ex is behaving better!!! House shopping was so stressful, but SO much fun.
PJK - yeah, I like my bourbon. I had to cut WAY back. Like only to the weekends. Whomp whomp. I had to stop saying, "two fingers worth" and start measuring. What I do now is put my glass on the food scale and just fill it there. It makes tracking much easier. Also, because WW is judgy, it automatically added it to my favorites, so also easier to track. I think the problem with the new plan is that it makes fruit free, honestly. I like the older plan where it counted fruit. What I've learned with the new plan (which I do follow) is that I don't eat as much fruit, but that's also because of the carb count. I also have a sedentary job. I have a FitBit and set a daily step goal for before I leave work (and go to the gym). Maybe try that with your pedometer? I make myself get up every hour and just walk for 5 minutes. Use a bathroom further away. Things like that.
Dixie - SO CLOSE!!!
Fae - I have to watch my grazing too. I've been trying to talk myself into setting out some veggies to graze on instead.
