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 ...

Great progress this week

Week of 1/14/2012 - 1/20/2012 Swimming - 2 Biking - 0 Running - 3 Strength Training - 1 Weekly Weight loss - 4 lbs Total weight loss - 31.5 I still have a left over cough from the cold but I was able to get to the gym all 6 days that I had scheduled.  Based on my summary I need to work on a few things, especially biking and strength training.  I did my longest run today, 55 minutes.  I was able to run the entire time at 5 mph or higher.  I want to work on increasing my speed on the shorter runs as my end goal is to run 6 mp for long distances / times. I added another event to my calendar.  Lifetime Fitness is doing an indoor triathlon.  The event will be how far you go within the below times. • 10-minute swim in the lap pool (laps are tracked by volunteers) • 30-minute cycle in the cycle studio (distance measured by computer) • 20-minute run on a treadmill (distance measured by treadmill) Clearly a short event but something fun to do...
