I'm Tri'ing

Week 2 of the New Year and sadly I'll have to give myself a D.  The good news is that my weight loss for the week was down 3.5 lbs.  Workout wise I only did 2 run workouts and 1 strength workout.  I was scheduled to do 4 swim workouts, 2 bike workouts, 3 run workouts and 3 strength.  Yes I'm about to make an excuse but I haven't found the solution to work interfering with the workout schedule.  I had 3 late nights at work which prevented me from working out.  I would love to be able to do morning workouts on those days but sadly my day doesn't begin later on those days.  But I ate VERY well and I'm happy for that.  No snacking in the evening!! This week I hope to get my butt back to the gym for swimming.  Since that is my weakest link I need to dedicate some time!

Week 1 of the New Year and I'll give myself a C-.  No weightloss for the week but I know that is from the evening snacking.  Workout wise I did 1 bike workout, 3 run workouts and 1 strength workout.  I was scheduled to do 3 swim workouts, 3 bike workouts, 3 run workouts and 2 strength. This week I had planned 2 Team Z workouts and missed both of them because of work but there is a Strength and Injury Prevention Clinic tonight that I plan on attending so I figure that is a good way to finish out the week. The focus for week 2 is to limit the evening snacking, complete over 50% of my workouts, especially the swim workouts, and try to make it to at least 1 of the 2 Team Z events. I've posted my tentative race schedule, it's a pretty aggressive plan, considering 2011 was a big goose egg for me.  But I truly want to get back on track with putting myself and my personal goals first this year.  This has always been a difficult task because for all of my 41 y...

Where did 2011 go????  Well no looking back, 2012 started today, yes I know I'm a day late but my weeks start on Monday's so today was my beginning :>)  Hope everyone had a safe holiday season and are excited to get in gear for 2012, I know I am. I'm still working on finalizing my race schedule for 2012.  I was originally hoping to do a 1/2 marathon or 2 this year but in being realistic at where my current fitness level is (low) and what my main goals are for the year (International distance triathlon and getting to goal weight/racing weight) I'm going to rethink some races and narrow it down.  I know that getting back to a healthy weight and a regular exercise plan will help me balance some of the other crazy out of control things in my life. As my 1st workout of 2012 I'm trying out Chi Running , I haven't been able to get in a good running rhythm so I'm stepping back a bit.  I'm starting out at ground zero and doing the Injury Free 5K plan  an...
