ugh a cold

Week of 1/6/2013 - 1/13/2013

Swimming - 2
Biking - 0
Running - 1
Strength training - 2
Weekly weight loss - 0
Overall weight loss - 27.5

The week started off so well, was getting back on track from the holidays and then bam Wednesday afternoon my throat started feeling scratchy and my body was a bit achy.  Now I didn't know if the ache was from working out or that I was getting sick.  Then I got home and was feeling even worse, cold sweats, ugh. I'm getting sick.  Since the flu is crazy I thought please just let this be a cold I can't afford the flu (since I just started my job in October).  So Thursday I set my alarm planning on going to the gym, nope, hit the snooze and stayed in bed until I needed to get up to go to work.  The next few days was more of the same.  Now it's Sunday and I'm starting to feel human but I have been away from the gym for 4 days, ugh.

Start over, again.  It could have been worse, I could have had the flu and I could have been sick for a lot longer.

The first three days of the week were good workouts, 2 swim workouts, 1 run and 2 strength training and all were solid workouts.  Hopefully tomorrow will start out with more of the same.

The She Does Tri jerseys that I wrote about in November have arrived and are being shipped out.  I so can't wait to see them and can't wait to put mine on to see how it fits!!

Stay healthy my friends.

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...
