11 weeks to go and not a good week for me. Too many distractions...I let that happen, won't let it happen next week. Things I will change for upcoming week.

1. Work out in the mornings on weekends.

2. No missed workouts during week.

I did have a good weight loss week, so I am excited about that but that is it. I stuck to the food plan, which was easier than I thought. I don't like to think that I eat a lot of sugar but by cutting all processed (except for exercise nutrition) and minimizing the natural really worked for me. I was worried because this changed my morning food routine but my body adapted quickly.

Can't dwell in the past and what I didn't do can only look to the future and what I will do!

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...
