Woohoo swimming

Week of 1/20 - 1/26


Swim - 2
Bike - 1
Run - 3
Strength Training - 0
Weight loss (weekly / year - 0 lbs / 6 lbs
Mileage (weekly / 2014) - 
  Swim - 1000 yds / 1500 yds
  Bike - 19 miles / 93.58 miles
  Run - 14.26 miles / 47.72 miles

Didn't get all the planned swim workouts in but got 2 of them in and while my arm is still sore it was definitely a bit better than last week.  I swam back to back days with no problem.  

I'm really glad that I'm tracking mileage this year, it's nice to see those numbers at the end of the week and then for the year.  Considering I haven't started training yet the mileage I'm putting in now is going to seem like nothing by mid year.

My run continues to improve, my speed is slowly improving which is good because my distance is increasing.

 This week was a HORRIBLE week for food.  As much as I enjoyed our company over the past few weeks I'm not very good at staying on track when I'm going out to eat so I hope to get back on track tomorrow morning and drop the few pounds I have added back over the past 2 weeks.  

 The weather is trying to warm up but is still too cold for an early morning run but it's getting closer.  Already hating the treadmill!

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 ...

Always a work in progress

10/21/2013 - 10/27/2013 Swimming - 0 Biking - 2 Running - 3 Strength Training - 0 Weekly weight loss - 2 lbs Total weight loss - 35 Happy that I was able to workout 5 days this week.  Struggled a bit with my run but that is really because of the few extra pounds that I gained and the bronchitis continues to linger a bit with some asthmatic wheezing and coughing at times.  But I'm working through it.  The next few weeks I'll only be able to workout at home in the mornings since I'm on full time doggie duty but that just means focusing on the strength training in addition to the running and biking.  I think when our exercise bike starts to give out I want to get a spin bike.  A spin bike is a bit more true to road biking as it relates to form and the way you can add resistance is more real to a road then the stationary bike that we have.  Since the bike has a few more years in it, I think I'll get a new rear wheel so I can set my bike up on th...
