It's been raining off and on here since Sunday night. The remnants of Patricia. Just gray, gloomy days.
I had a great run yesterday morning. It was one of my shorter runs, only 4 miles. I felt so good I beat my target pace of 12:00 per mile, I ran it at 11:24 per mile.
This morning I did my upper body. I included core exercises and dropper the isolation exercises I was doing. Running is very catabolic. I know I'm not going to bulk up on my training schedule. I'm currently looking at more run specific weight lifting. I've found that the strength training is helping with my running. It's also helping with imbalances I have. If I was looking to bulk up I would be walking or doing HIIT.
I think I'm starting to have what I call 'diet fatigue'. I've been in a calorie deficit for a year and a half with few periods of going over. I'm eating a lot better and like the food I've been eating. I'm not at my goal yet and at my current rate of weight loss it may be another 6 months. It may be longer because I'm thinking of upping my calories for my half training. It's either that or going on weekly refeeds to maintain muscle glycogen. I know I'm not lean but I think the years of yo-yo dieting have taken their toll. I guess I'll sort it all out, just trying to maintain physical and mental health while doing a high training load.
I hope everyone is having a great day!

Cold and rainy here for the same reason . . . thanks for teaching me something new (I had to look up 'catabolic') . . . like the new profile pic with the waterfall backdrop! First I've heard the term 'diet fatigue' but certainly makes sense . . . with your commitment and the way you conduct 'educated experiments' I'm sure you'll figure things out and ultimately achieve the results you desire.

I hear you with the 'diet fatigue'. Our perspectives about the course we're on change as we move forward, at least mine have. Your perspective is a good one IMO, it's important to maintain muscle mass and overall health. For me weighing "X" lbs by "X" date isn't as important as it once was.

You're doing very well, CH. You always apply your intelligence and good common sense to all situations, and you're very determined, so you will get there. I also know what you mean about 'diet fatigue', though I haven't been doing it as long as you. But it just means it might be time to make some changes, I think. There seem to be many ways of losing fat and getting fit!
