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...

Goals

I knew I was goal oriented but didn't know that meant I always had to be living by some sort of plan. Anyone reading sees that I have been off my game and have turned into a big slacker.  This has happened before.  I have lost weight in the past and come close to achieving my goal and then started slacking and end up right back where I started, or worse and then it's an uphill climb.  I'm not disciplined, yet, to live a healthy life without having some sort of goal and plan for achieving that goal. So I have established 2 goals for the remainder of the year: 1.  Get to my goal weight - I achieved my original goal weight but then set a new goal and sadly I have gone over my original goal weight.  So I have 20 lbs to lose! 2.  Figure out my 2014 triathlon schedule - I was so proud of myself for finally completing an Olympic distance triathlon and I have always said that I wanted to go for the further distances.  I have set a goal of December 1 to ...

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...
