My husband and I walked a half-marathon together this morning, and I'm feeling mighty sore. According to the Tanita scale print-out, my metabolic age is 64...and I feel every bit that, and more. In reality I'm 49...but a 49 year old with the body type of a 64 year old. (Another health screening I had recently said that my heart age is 42, so I'm not too worried.) I looked up the 'metabolic age' on the Tanita website, and basically it shows the age they would expect someone with my readings (bodyfat, muscle mass, etc.) to be, based on the many, many measurements they have made over the years.
Aside from the soreness, I feel pretty good, and felt good throughout the race. I stuck to the Empower food plan until yesterday when I "carb loaded" with brown rice, as per Bo's advice. This morning, I started with oatmeal (still following Bo's instruction), but had a bagel at the beginning and end of the race route. During the race, I had water every time they offered it and, also "Cytomax", the sports drink of the Rock and Roll Marathon...oh, and a half a cliff bar.
Now its back to the plan. I wonder what impact this event will have on my weight loss this week...or on my Tanita scale readings later this week?
