I had to cancel my run this evening because of the weather. It's very disappointing. The snow just won't stop coming.

BMI is 21.9 @ 5'4" 127.8lbs

What does it  mean?

BMI Weight Status

Below 18.5 Underweight

18.5 - 24.9 Normal

25.0 - 29.9 Overweight

30.0 and Above Obese

A BMI of less than 19 indicates you are underweight. A BMI between 20 and 24 is usually considered normal. A person with a BMI of 25 to 29 is considered overweight, and a person with a BMI of 30 or above is considered obese. Obesity is associated with an increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, and other life-threatening diseases.

Limitations

BMI is a reliable indicator of total body fat, which is related to the risk of disease and death. The score is valid for both men and women but it does have some limits.

The limits are:

It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build.

It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have

I have to say running  really shapes the legs and butt better than any other exercise I have ever tried. I play a lot of hockey and did a lot of step aerobics (over 10 years) and no results. But by jogging over the last 6 months, my legs smaller and for the first time since I have been about 14 years old my cellulite has reduced significantly.

I'm sure that with weight training I would have achieved better results. However,  I find being in a gym painfully boring and consequently too high a price to pay for better legs.

You should give thanks for your food before receiving it.

Acts 27:35

After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat

Avoid fat.

Leviticus 7:23

Say to the Israelites: 'Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats.'

Fruits and Veggies are good.

Genesis 1:29

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

I had a difficult run today. It was soooooo cold ! and the wind was terrible. I was slipping on the ice and the snow really slowed me down. I was going for 10k but I only managed slow 6k. Other runners didn't seem to have a problem as they all passed me with little effort.

I had read an article that said all you need is long underwear and an extra sweatshirt. Well, I wore 2 pairs of sweatpants, 3 sweatshirts, a turtle neck, ski gloves and a ski hat and still froze. The temperature was around -14C with the windchill.

The weather is an obstacle right now. I really need to practice for my upcoming race in May but I'm not sure how. I hate treadmills, so that is not an option for me. What can I do to beat the bad weather?

There is snow in the forecast for the upcoming week
