New Shoes - reward for hard work

1/28/2013 - 2/3/2013

Swimming - 1
Biking - 2
Running - 2
Strength Training - 2
Weekly weight loss - 0
Total weight loss - 31.5

This was an ok week, missed a few sessions but not fretting.  It was another no weight loss week for me but this has become typical for me - I lose some weight then don't lose for a couple weeks but still no worries your body needs time to adjust to all the changes.  I'm still very happy with my results to this point.

This was my 20th week of my weight loss commitment and being down 31.5 lbs is awesome!

Today marks 7 months since I made a drastic change to regain control of my life!

Today marks 5 year 11 month anniversary that we decided to stop smoking (3/3/2007)!

Tuesday marks 7 months since I had my back surgery!

Everyone needs rewards for hard work.  I use to reward myself with food, well that isn't very healthy and totally messes up the weight loss plan so yesterday we rewarded ourselves with new running shoes.  These are my new babies - Asics Kayano's.  Wish I could have gotten some hot pink bungee laces to match the pink on the shoes. So excited to wear them for my next run on Tuesday!



So many positive changes in our lives!  I'm blessed to have the most wonderful man in my life that has supported me so much over the years - the good, the bad and the very ugly.  I'm so happy with where our new life is taking us.  I only wish that everyone in the world could be as happy as I am right now!

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...

7 weeks till 1st race

4/28/14 - 5/4/14 Swim - 2 Bike - 2 Run - 2 Strength Training - 2 Weight loss (weekly / year) - 0 lbs / 6.5  lbs Mileage (weekly / 2014)   Swim - 3500 yds / 34,800 yds      Bike - 53.5 miles / 584.98 miles   Run - 8.86 miles / 186.51 miles A friend reminded me this week that I have 7 weeks until my next race.  She asked me if I was ready and I said you bet.  I'm more confident than ever, so far.  I say that because often the week or 2 leading up to a race I fall apart and don't get all my workouts in but I need to stay on target with additional races to follow.  I'm confident that tomorrow I could do the Olympic distance. I want to beat my time from last year, which hopefully will be easy to do.  While my weight, currently, is slightly higher than it was last year for my race, I definitely feel more prepared physically and have been getting longer workouts in than I did last year.   This was a good week, the only thing I hav...
