Started jogging

Week of 9/3/2012 - 9/9/2012

Exercise Walking - 5.95 miles
Exercise Jogging - 1 session - 5 - 1 minute intervals
General Walking -  33.66 miles
Stationary Bike -  1 session - 3 minutes
Weight loss - ??

Yippee.....I jogged last week.  It was only 5 - 1 minute intervals, but that is better than nothing.  Originally when I thought I would start running, I thought I would need to do shorter intervals.  But when I started jogging, I thought I could do a bit longer but didn't want to overdo it.  I was a bit sore afterwards but it didn't prevent me from doing anything.  I'm sure people thought I was crazy when they saw me because I was so happy and shocked at the same time.

Otherwise last week was still a tough week because we had visitors from Thursday - Monday so that threw off our plans a bit.  Not an excuse just a fact.

I found the box that had the scale in it so I weighed myself yesterday and there was a weight gain but not as high as I thought it would be after being in the road and living in a hotel and unable to do any cooking.

As I mentioned last time, my fitbit is broken and it now looks like it won't hold a charge at all.  I just don't think it's a good idea to spend money to buy a new one since I have other ways of recording my workout time.  The only bad thing is that I use the fitbit to record my general walking so without another pedometer I won't be able to do that but that is not that big a deal.  I really did that to see make sure I was getting good walks in after my surgery but now that I've returned to regular workouts I don't think that is as important.

Guess there is no holding back now.  I'll work on updating my training plan and will start to increase the number of intervals as well as the amount of jogging time.  It will continue to be a slow process but now I know I can jog without pain and I'm so excited about that!

Making my own decisions

It's now been 6 weeks of steady exercise, including sticking to the routine while on travel to India.  My eating habits have wandered a bit but I know what I need to do. Recently I have decided that I'm going to live the life I want and not what everyone else wants.  All my life I have been ruled by someone else making decisions, telling me what to do or wanting to make the right decisions to please everyone else but not really doing what I want. I realized the 1st time I made a decision / choice for myself  was when I met my now husband and decided to marry him; 22 years later it still is the best decision I made.  He has always supported me; which is something that is unusual for me an it's taken me awhile to realize this.  I've always played life safe rather than risking and following my dreams/desires. Triathlon was my 2nd decision, by me and for me.  I have neglected those desires because of work pressures.  I realize that my current job wil...

2019...not starting off perfect

But does anything ever start out and finish perfect? I caught the hubby's cold, thought I battled it well but I was wrong and it took me down on New Years day but that was a rest day so no worries. Got up Wednesday, ready to start my new workout routine....wrong, felt worse than day before, so off to Urgent Care, got some drugs and fighting this. Decided to move workouts back by a day and cancel Sunday as a day off, besides I took New Years day off, as planned. Had a good workout today, still sticking to my running, biking, HITT plan but added strength training in starting today.  My bike wasn't as long as I wanted it to be but doing something is what I take as a positive. I decided my goals/objectives for 2019 are simple: Live a healthier life! There is a lot of things behind that statement, I recently posted the below on FB and I want to ensure that every day, week, month and year I'm striving to improve my life - mentally, physical, relationships, etc. ...

4 WEEKS!

3/20/17 - 3/26/17 Swim - 0 of 3 Bike - 1 of 3 Run - 3 of 3 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 0 lbs  Mileage (weekly / 2017)    Swim - 6,477 yds / 49,987 yds miles    Bike - 28.8 miles / 426.2 miles    Run - 16.87 miles / 96.3  mile Wow - thought I did better -guess not.  No swimming this week and I wish I could say my shoulder feels better but NOT.  Despite not hitting on my training sessions I feel those that I did were on point! Today was the last splurge weekend and the hubby is planning to stick with me, which I really appreciate.  It makes it easier when dining out.  I'm disappointed that I didn't drop any weight this week because overall I had a good nutrition week but that could be related to less activity.  I still have several pounds I want to lose before race day so no splurges for the next 4 weeks hopefully will help with that. My nutrition plan is going very well - except I forgot how qui...
