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!!

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...
