Day 31: Back To It

So last week I felt like death (cranky uterus + wacked out hormones= lack of desire to move much less work out), but I'm feeling back to normal. The weight has dropped to 183, down a whole whopping pound. Meh. While I think Angeleen's assessment of better numbers next week is most likely true I'm more encouraged by the fact that I have been at this thing for a whole month! My eating/exercise routine hasn't been perfect, but it has been better then it was and I'm feeling more mindful of my health, so I'll take that as a win.

Tomorrow I hope to go sign up at Parks and Rec for a gym membership. I'm liking the Wii workout for the most part, but I'm starting to get a bit bored with it. I need something new, so after talking with Drake last week I decided to begin training for a sprint triathlon! I can't believe I'm considering this, but I turn 40 in November and it's time to start knocking things off the Bucket List and I confess I've always wanted to try one of these. Plus, I had a couple of well meaning friends gently mock? patronize? I dunno the right word, but when I mentioned I'd like to do this they looked at me like: "yea, sure." Which got my back up, but also made me doubt myself (an interesting, and yet crappy, duality), so when Drake assured me I could do it (because hello! It's not the Iron Man and I'm not looking to place, just to cross the finish line) I thought, "alright, let's do this!"

I found an online workout schedule that will have me running 3 days a week, combining a swim/bike routine 2 days a week, and resting 2 days a week. I might try and work in a little weight training, before or after my run too (we'll see). Food intake is going to subsist of 4 meals of 400 calories each and will work up to 5-6 meals as my work out times increase.

::Deep breath::

I can't believe I'm going to do this.
