Biggest Loser Tara Costa Trains for Marathon

Tara Costa, the Biggest Loser winner from season 7 is still in tip-top shape and she now plans to train for the New York City Marathon that will take place on November 1st. Recently, she told People Magazine what she has done since leaving the reality series to maintain her weight. As for her workout routine she explained,
“At first I was very skeptical of allowing myself to go out with friends on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I knew that on Saturday mornings I would be doing my long jog with my workout buddies and I didn’t want to jeopardize feeling sluggish. I make choices now — some days my workouts are far more intense than the average and others are just an hour of a fun activity with friends.”
She keeps her food intake in check by logging her daily calories:
“Everyday I make a promise to myself to stay away from the foods that led me to be 300 pounds. I still have to keep myself in check — I log my food into a Blackberry application that tracks my calories … I do not deprive myself of anything. If I want something, I eat it. I no longer eat the whole container or bag, but I have a portion. But my cravings have changed. I no longer crave chicken wings and fries. I would rather have a grilled veggies and chicken kebab.”
Tara is quite the technie, apart from using a Blackberry application to log her calories she’s also getting online assistance for her marathon training. She explained,
“I am so excited that I will be working with the New York Road Runners online training program. It is hard for me to dedicate a definitive time and place on a weekly basis to train, so this online training program will offer me the guidance and flexibility that I need.”
Good luck, Tara!
