GOAL!!!!

Swimming - 3
Biking - 3
Running - 3
Strength Training - 0
Weekly weight loss - 4
Total weight loss - 45 lbs

Damn, this has been a great week.  Usually I write on Sunday but tomorrow is my day off from working out and today was weigh in.  I have met my goal, actually I blew it out of the water this week.  Rob kept telling me he thought when I got to my goal I would probably keep going.  I thought I would be happy with maybe 5 more pounds but now I'm only 2 lbs away from that.  At this point we will see.  I'm not going to actively try to lose weight.  However I know that with all the training I did this week that is what helped put my weight loss over the top.  I also know that with all the training that I'll be doing (more than this week) I will probably drop a few pounds.

I have learned how to manage my food intake and my body has really adapted to less food and definitely prefers healthier no processed food.  I will continue to use myfitnesspal.com to track my food intake, exercise and weight loss and of course I have my excel spreadsheet training schedule.  I will still have splurges every once in awhile but I also realized you can't do that several times a week and not pay for it.  I love food, that is not going to change and I can enjoy the things I love just not all at one time!

The workouts this week went well.  I'm struggling with the stuffy nose after swimming, I'm pretty sure it's related to the chlorine and not allergies to the crazy pollen levels here in Texas.

Always remember that life is not easy and that it's your choice whether you sit on the couch and let time pass or you get up and live life to the fullest!

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...
