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!

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...
