Well the first week was a recovery week for me but I took it a bit to the extreme and this week, I don't know what happened.  Life has been a bit crazy with the completion of the house in the near future and our closing date getting push backed, now for the 4th time.  So that might have something to do with it, or maybe it's just laziness.....either way the past 2 weeks haven't been that productive.

But my philosophy these days is this too shall pass.  I'm not upset, more disappointed in myself for not getting out of bed and pushing myself to get to the gym.  I must remember that gym time helps me reduce stress so it actually is a great way to start my day.  So I'll plan on getting back on track on Monday.  The good news is that despite my lack of gym time my weight is staying the same.  I've been very good about eating healthy, sticking to my calories, at least during the week :>)  The weekend is a bit more flexible.

The other sad news to report is that I will not be doing my sprint triathlon race next weekend.  We are scheduled to close on the house on Friday and since we move the following week there is  bunch of stuff that needs to get done before we move and I only have 1 weekend to get that done.  I'm upset, mostly pissed off at the builder that they have put us in this position, but it's not one of my key events, the International distance races.

If all goes as planned the next couple of weeks will be crazy but I'm going to try to stay on target....11 weeks till first International distance!!

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...
