It's been a few weeks since my last update, but no worries I have still been training. Had some hiccups over the past few weeks with some sore muscles but I have kept moving in the right direction.
I have been serious about my training but I have not been serious about my eating. I usually do pretty well during the week but fall apart on the weekends and much of my hard work throughout the week goes to the way side on the weekends and then I'm in this constant back and forth struggle. So my game plan is to limit my dining out and alcohol intake. We have family in town this week and next so I'm limiting myself to drinking 1 day each week and 1 splurge meal each week. Then the final 3 weeks leading up to my first race, no alcohol and only 1 meal dining out but not splurging just healthy eating.
Of course after the race I'll have some sort of food splurge and then come up with a new plan for the weeks leading up to my next race.
In past years I have struggled the few weeks leading up to a race and I fall off track with exercising and eating but I need to stay on track, bigger fish in the sea this year than an Olympic distance - that 1/2 IM is calling my name......
