Already stressing about July when I should be focused on the next 2 weeks

6/2/14 - 6/8/14

Swim - 2
Bike - 2
Run - 3
Strength Training - 0
Weight loss (weekly / year) - 0 lbs / 7.5 lbs
Mileage (weekly / 2014)
  Swim -4,700  yds / 52,000 yds  
  Bike - 55.3 miles / 811.28 miles
  Run - 10.67 miles / 231.19 miles

 I missed one bike this week and all of my strength training and did not have a good food week and gained weight and I have my 1st race in 2 weeks and that stresses me out but I'm more worried how I'm going to get all my workouts in while the hubby is traveling for work, which is 5 weeks away.  Jeez

 So this weekend we went out and drove the bike course, since it's different than the race I did last year and that I'm doing this July.  WOW - OMG - HOLY MOLY - that is one big hill.  The bike course is very intimidating.  There is a VERY LARGE steep hill that makes my head spin thinking about it and it doesn't help that I haven't been outside riding on my bike.  Of course hubby is like you got this, no big deal.  What is the worse thing that can happen........I have to walk my bike up the hill.....not the first and probably not the last.  I'll tackle that issue in 2 weeks.

 I need to remember to remain in the here and now and control what I can control.  Managing work, Lane and training for 2 weeks, and racing while the hubby is gone will be tough but I'll do what I can and that is all I can do.

 Hopefully this week I'll get back to eating right and get back to the weight I was last week and then go from there.  Breathe girl!

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...

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...
