Getting lost

I'm lost.....I'm off track.....having a hard time finding my way.....getting back on track.  It happens, right?  You think when you have a plan that you can stick to it and keep moving.  I haven't done a very good job of that the past few weeks.....this week was really bad, haven't worked out yet this week, I say yet because Saturday and Sunday are still possible.  

I've said it before, I have this problem a few weeks before a race, just can't stay on track.  This week more so than normal because of a disruption in my routine.  I have to learn to figure this out and how to not fall so far off track.  Going forward it becomes even more important.  I have to learn to fight back.....right now not sure I feel like fighting.

So have I screwed up.....don't know.....do I want to quit.....sadly at times.....can I still do this.....don't know.....have I given up...................................I don't know that answer yet, let me sleep on it.  But that is the real answer isn't it!  

Sigh - tomorrow is a new day!

2 weeks - WHAT!?!?!

4/3/17 - 4/9/17 Swim - 2 of 3 Bike - 1 of 3 Run - 1 of 3 Strength Training - 0 Weight to lose - 1.5 lbs  Mileage (weekly / 2017)    Swim - 4,822 yds / 60,300 yds miles    Bike - 16 miles / 491.6 miles    Run - 3.54 miles / 108.1  mile Taper starts next week.   I didn't have a great week, too much personal stuff going on that just consumed my focus and didn't feel motivated!  Lots of emotions and conversations with myself questioning whether I'm ready for this adventure this year - I still don't know the answer to that.  I feel I'm ready for the swim and despite the lack of running this year I feel I have a good plan for the run but the bike for some reason worries me. I haven't gotten as much mileage in as last year but my times are faster than last year.  But this week is important for focus - stay on target, hit my planned workouts, NO distractions and remind myself that I GOT THIS.  I can do this...

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...

Toooooo Long

Has it really been 4 weeks since I last updated this blog?????? The last time I posted I was still recovering from being sick - well I actually went to the Dr and found out I had bronchitis - glad I decided to sit out my races.  A z-pack, nasal spray, inhaler and cough syrup later I'm feeling better.  Still have the wheezing when exercising but it's getting better. This was the first week in the past 4 weeks that I have done any significant amount of working out - I worked out 4 times.  So once again, I'm working to get back on track.  I gained a few pounds during why hiatus but no worries I'll work it back off. It's rough when you are so goal oriented and then you get off track.  I often go down hill quickly and in the past haven't gotten back on track but I won't let myself get that far off track this time.  I've thought about if I want to train for some sort of race but I don't want to get back on track that way.  I want to workout without t...
