A bit behind so I've included my stats for the past 2 weeks.  Rob is finally home!!  One of my big fears with him coming home was my schedule changing but so far all is going well.  I did have a change in work schedule, instead of working 930-630 I'm now working 830-530.  This has required some adjustment because I had a bit more flexibility with when I got to the gym but now I need to ensure I'm getting up on time.  I also don't have as much time to do as much so I need to adjust what I do on a daily basis but no worries it's all working out.

I'm planning on increasing my freestyle by 100 yds each week.  I still find it so crazy that I'm really starting to enjoy the swimming.  Last week I started Week 7 of the ChiRunning 5K program and I'm still going strong.  When I complete the 8 week to 5K I'm going to start a 10 week 10K program.  I have found a 10K race in early spring that should be around the time I complete the 10K program.  I've been able to find 3-4 local triathlon races to consider and I'm considering the Rock and Roll 1/2 or Full Marathon in San Antonio at the end of next November.

The weight loss is slowing down, which I knew would happen, just hoped it would be in another 5-10 lbs.  So I'll need to evaluate what I eat.  One big issue is getting enough calories and protein so I'll focus on that over the next couple of weeks.

Happy Turkey Day!!

A week of crazy but still good miles

Week of 8/27/2012 - 9/2/20212 Exercise Walking - 0 General Walking - 27.95 miles Stationary Bike - 0 Weight loss - ?? I was a bit shocked that when I was finally able to look at my miles that I actually had 27.95 miles.  That is not a great week but considering that since Tuesday, August 28th we have been staying in a hotel and were driving from Maryland to Texas from August 29th - September 1st, I'm pretty happy with that. As I wrote in the last update, I knew it would be tough to get some exercise in last week and it was.  I decided that this was an adventure and a great opportunity to spend time with the hubby and I was going to enjoy our trip and worry about diet and exercise when we got to Texas and got settled in. The only bad thing that happened on our trip is that my fitbit , may be on its last leg.  I dropped the fitbit early last week and cracked the case and when I say cracked I can see the inside of the device.  Then towards the...

Race schedule set

Week of 12/31/2012 - 1/6/2013 Swimming - 2 Biking - 0 Running -2 Strength Training - 1 Weight loss for week - 0 Total weight loss - 27.5 As reported in the last post the past couple of weeks haven't been great workout weeks and no weight loss. But it happens right, no worries.  I'll get it back on track this week.  My back is feeling MUCH better so I'm going to do some strength training tomorrow and clearly I need to get back to biking.  My road bike is set up on the trainer between the living room and kitchen I just need to spend some time on it.  I've been very focused on swimming and running but need to make sure that I'm giving proper attention to the bike.  Plus with my back being sore I didn't want to make even more sore by getting on the bike. Along with this post you will see I have updated my race schedule.  Races fill up quick around here so I built in a back up race in case one of the races is full.  I've also been working on my 2...

Week 6 - thoughts of quitting

1/4/16 - 1/10/16 Swim - 2 Bike - 0 Run - 2 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 22 lbs Mileage (weekly / 2016)   Swim - 3600 yds / 3600 yds miles      Bike - 0 miles / 0 miles   Run -8.21 miles / 8.21 mile s I don't have to clock in at work but this week I tracked my work hours and I worked roughly 68 hours. Today is the only day I have not worked.....yet (my on call coverage doesn't end till 5). I know plenty of people work as many if not more, but it's been rough on me when I'm getting up at 3:45 to get to the gym and still trying to spend time with my hubby and baby girl (our wonderful doggie).  I have been questioning my ability to juggle this job with m training schedule but this week has been the worst....I actually told myself I wanted to quit. Because I have a great hubby, who wants me to succeed in achieving my goals he listened to me cry and vent, he has been listening to me for awhile and as usual he continues to motivate m...
