Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"
Goals: 1) Lose ~45 pounds 2) Work out at least 6 days a week 3) Eat healthier consistently
I will reward myself at the following weights: 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

I love to eat. Carbs is my weakness link that I always lose control in front of it.
I started running for fitness in 2007. Ever since I finished the 1st marathon (San Diego RnR 2007), I am addicted to running.
I started traineoing in Nov 2007. I have reached my goal weight in Jun 08 already. But, now, I don't care much about my weight. I care about it only if it affects my running performance.

# Posted: 12 Jun 2008 06:48
I finally did the 1st run after stuggling with the sinus infection for the whole week. It was tough and yet great! But, I am glad that my legs still remember how much they enjoy running. Hopefully, I can slowly gain the momentum back and be ready for the next race soon.

This morning, I am FINALLY feeling somewhat better. I think that I will be healthy enough to do the triathlon on Sat, but I will not be any where near as prepared as I had hoped. Oh, well. I'll just be grateful that I am feeling a little better. Oh, and I went swimming last night even though I didn't really feel like it, and I didn't drown. Also a plus. So maybe I will survive the tri after all.
Oh, and Glovia (I know it was a while back), but super big congrats on the marathon!!! You are amazing!!!!

Thanks, Rachael. I am so sorry that I could not share the story. I was totally down becuase of the sirus infection right after the race. It was a great race. I love it and I would do it again next year. Take it easy on your training when you are not feeling well.
I will do a half marathon in August. How about you? When is your next tri?

My next tri is tomorrow!! I'm really pumped that I'm going to be able to do it, but I don't really expect a great performance since I'm still only about 75 to 80% because of this stupid sinus infection. My family is coming to watch me so I hope I do well enough to make them more interested in triathlon. I hope I do okay!! At the beginning of the week I didn't think I was going to be able to participate at all, so I'm at least glad that I can compete, even if I wind up having to walk some at the end (which I really really hope that I don't have to do).

I'm a vegetarian, trying to be better at eating whole foods and exercising 6 days per week. I've been off this site for a while, but I think I'm back for the long haul. Wish me luck!
My rewards for goal weights:
200 pounds: Order a body fat % calculator (I've been wanting one for awhile)
190: I can buy $40.00 of books that I've been wanting lately
180: He'll buy me a wedding band (we just recently got married, and at first I didn't want one to wear with my engagement ring, but I've changed my mind. So now we're making it a reward).
170: Professional full body massage (If you've never had this done, DO IT -- it's amazing).
160: New clothes (because my old ones -- even my old skinny clothes -- probably won't be fitting at this point).
150: Here's the grand prize -- we're going to go to either Africa or Europe! My husband grew up in Africa, and we've been talking about going for a long time. He has a lot of family there, and he hasn't been himself in several years. However, if that doesn't work out, then we'll go to Europe for a couple weeks. I'm SOOOOO excited, I've been wanting to go back for years and now I've finally convinced him to go!

I was just SO happy this morning! I woke up and kind of had a stomach ache, and was expecting to have gained weight, but no! I lost .8 pounds! SOOO happy!
And it's Friday!
And today is the LAST day of classes this term!
I love my life right now.

i've got a show tonight with my band, then a 5k in the morning. i don't know many people with this combination of lifestyles, but i do know it will be hard for me to be a good boy and get there in ~20 minutes tomorrow.

400 yard swim 8:15
T1 2:43
13 mile (very hilly) bike 52:47
T2 1:30
3 mile run 33:11
Total race time 1:36:54

it was a trail run, saturday, my first. i ran it in 19:30 and got third place for my age group. i finished about eighth over all, after my trainer, a few triathletes, and a few raily cross country kids. it was so funny to see the differences in physiques.

My positive: my hubby is back on the healthy band wagon, and he really wants to make it permanent this time. I think once he gets into the routine, it will be nice to have sort of a training partner, even if we aren't really doing the same thing. AND he says that he wants to try to eventually do a triathlon!! I'm so excited!!!

My weight goes up and down depending on how I'm feeling/motivated and I often give up or set myself ridiculous goals I can't stick to. I also suffer from the "I'll start tomorrow" syndrome. Would love to hear from other people in my situation for two-way motivation, or not, for that matter! (when that damn red cross goes from my photo box, you can see what i look like as well)
