Awwww now, I said I'd cheer you on!!!!!
Seriously, I am no longer able to run due to knee replacement and other knee surgeries but I will walk as far as health allows. Tho I still think you guys need a "designated eater" rooting for you every step of the way. And DH and I LOVE NOLA. Was never there for Mardi Gras tho.

If only it were possible to jump on a plane and fly to NO for a vacation... Sigh... if only to be in my 20's again with a high metabolism and few responsibilities
But I do get east of the Miss every few years, because this CA girl married a TN man. And he has never been to NO!!! But we do talk about it, and we shall get there hopefully sooner than later.
For now I'll go to the market tomorrow and buy REAL butter (something I only indulge in at Thanksgiving). Can't cook a good roux without real butter!

I wanted to go into the city that day, but I'm pretty sure friend had a concussion from falling off the cooler and into the street and whacking her head. She slept like 15 hours that day. Not counting the sleep she got the night before. She and I were talking about that just the other day and she said her shoulder is still hurting. Next year though, buddy....Next year

Hey I think getting together for the rock 'n roll (or isn't there a couple of other races in NOLA too?) would be fun. Folks could run, walk, team-up, cheer, whatever. Maybe Mike can work on getting us a nice group discount at a fun hotel.
I have to say that the last MG I attended, many years ago, the nights were cold as a witch's mammary gland! So a little later in the spring would be find too.
BTW, lots of train options to NOLA, east coast, Chicago, along the southern boarder for those thinking of making it an adventure.

Trying to figure out challenging vs overdoing . . .
Mern ~ Thanks on the congrats. I forgot that our group was going to walk 1 mile. Otherwise, I'd just have done 2 miles in the morning. My body is feeling it.
My eating - today it's OK Calorie wise. Now I'm in my "CAUTION ZONE" (evening). I need to work on a plan for that. For one thing, I love tea & so will fix myself some tea. It's not that I'm starving - I just feel like crunching.
_________---------_________
I keep trying to figure out how much is overdoing it & how much is challenging myself. I "twisted" my back a few weeks ago. My back felt quite good while I was exercising as I used twisting & punching motions. Then later my back would "catch" for a couple weeks afterwards. So, the question remains for me: "How do I differentiate between overdoing and challenging myself?" Guess I'll have to do some more reading on that one.
For next week: I'll keep at 2 miles walking daily (MON-FRI) & add in circuit 3x/week. Then if I want to do more otherwise, it will be bonus. As long as I continue to lose weight & firm up, I think that's where I'll keep it for a while. Later, I can increase to 3 miles. My body is crying out - no sharp pain though.

Luv, your very welcome for your mileage congrats. Hang in there tonight with the snacking control. I'm rooting for you! I came through the fish fry just fine tonight and my planned evening snack will be five ounces of skinless chicken breast and Crystal Lite. I should have a good report for tomorrow. Yeah, be careful with your back. Only you can determine the level of exercise you can handle. I am happy for others who can do more than I, but I aspire only to what is sensible for me. Rooting for you on that, too.
