Well the first week was a recovery week for me but I took it a bit to the extreme and this week, I don't know what happened.  Life has been a bit crazy with the completion of the house in the near future and our closing date getting push backed, now for the 4th time.  So that might have something to do with it, or maybe it's just laziness.....either way the past 2 weeks haven't been that productive.

But my philosophy these days is this too shall pass.  I'm not upset, more disappointed in myself for not getting out of bed and pushing myself to get to the gym.  I must remember that gym time helps me reduce stress so it actually is a great way to start my day.  So I'll plan on getting back on track on Monday.  The good news is that despite my lack of gym time my weight is staying the same.  I've been very good about eating healthy, sticking to my calories, at least during the week :>)  The weekend is a bit more flexible.

The other sad news to report is that I will not be doing my sprint triathlon race next weekend.  We are scheduled to close on the house on Friday and since we move the following week there is  bunch of stuff that needs to get done before we move and I only have 1 weekend to get that done.  I'm upset, mostly pissed off at the builder that they have put us in this position, but it's not one of my key events, the International distance races.

If all goes as planned the next couple of weeks will be crazy but I'm going to try to stay on target....11 weeks till first International distance!!

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...
