This is a bit late but this is the update for last week's weigh in at WW mtg on the 8th. I didn't get to actually attend the meeting because of another commitment and of course I was up a lb. Ugh. I'm going to be out of town for the next 2 WW mtgs (April 15 and 22) and unable to attend on April 29th due to another commitment, so I won't make it back to a WW mtg until May 6th, unless I can squeeze something in. According to my own scale, I'm down from last weeks weigh in and I think the rest of this week I will be ok.
Wednesday, April 8th
Activity: Rest Day
Today was a scheduled rest day for me.
Thursday, April 9th
Activity: Running (Treadmill)
Time: 30 minutes (2 minute interval drills)
Distance: 2.75 miles
Today was a day off work for me that turned into a day of work. But I did get to the gym for a quick workout and time for a haircut and color but the rest of my day off was work, bummer :(
Friday, April 10th
Activity: Missed Workout
Ugh, today turned into a work disaster and I didn't get home till late so no workout.
Saturday, April 11th
Activity: Running (Treadmill)
Time: 45 minutes
Distance: 3.5 miles
The weather was cruddy today, rainy, miserable day. At least I got some time in on the treadmill.
Sunday, April 12th
Activity: Cycle (indoor)
Time: 45 minutes
Distance: 17.2 miles
Awesome day on the trainer, wish I could have rode outside but it was a bit too chilly.
Monday, April 13th
Activity: Running (Indoor Track)
Time: 36 minutes
Distance: 3.25 miles
Nasty charlie horse in my right calf muscle. I think this was probably brought on by trying to keep pace with my hubby, which now looking back was a bad idea, he runs much faster than me. But I did keep up with him for about 1.25 miles.
This past week of workouts has gone fairly well, except for getting to the pool. The month of April has turned into a crazy mess. I'm heading out of town tomorrow and won't be back till Saturday night and I'm not sure if there will be a pool for me to go for a swim, but I am taking my gear with me just in case.
Then next week, I'm on vacation, hopefully to see my mom from 22-28 and there is definitely no pool options where we are going.
But I'm making the best of it, I can still run, possibly cycle and get some strength training in, which is better than sitting on the couch.

Iron Girl Training
This week marks the 20 week mark till the Iron Girl Columbia Triathlon. Right now I’m thinking to myself what the heck was I thinking???? I’m starting to get scared and do you know how long 20 weeks is……140 days, 3,360 hours away. Scared, I still have 20 weeks to go and I’m already scared.
What I’m really scared of is that swim. Here is how my mind works, the worst things that can happen to you on your bike, fall or flat tires. The course doesn’t look that dangerous so the likelihood of me falling is low, except if I forget to take my foot out of my clips. Flat tire, I’m horrible at fixing flat tires but you can carry your bike in, now if I get a flat tire at mile 2 then carrying my bike for 15 miles probably isn’t going to work. But I figure if I get new tubes installed by a professional I should be good to go. So what is the worst thing that can happen to me on my run, fall or twist my ankle. I feel the same about falling while running as I do about falling on the bike, the course is not treacherous so I think I will be fine. Twist an ankle, well I constantly watch the path in front of me so I think the odds are low. Now, for the swim what is the worst thing that can happen, I can’t move, I drown, I get a cramp, I panic…..I’m totally getting myself all bent out of shape as it relates to this topic. I’ve done so many searches on the web it is pathetic. My freestyle swim sucks but my side stroke isn’t bad and I know there are plenty of people that do triathlons without doing freestyle the entire time. So I need to just get in that darn pool and put the time in and build up to the mileage needed for this event, right? RIGHT.
I’m going to do this!!!!
1st GOAL – finish the event
2nd GOAL - my preference is not to finish last
Along with recording my weight loss I’m going to start recording my training to help me keep on track and to keep me accountable.
Monday, April 6th
Activity: Cycle (indoor)
Time: 45 minutes
Distance: 12 miles
Still feeling lousy from a long weekend, filled with Capitals Hockey and a bit too bad food and drink. Not a great pace but ok.
Tuesday, April 7th
Activity: Walk/Run (treadmill)
Time: 54 minutes (includes 5 min warm up & 5 min cool down)
Distance: 4.5 miles
Came up with a splitting headache but wanted to do a short workout, which turned into a pretty good workout.
Tomorrow is WW weigh and trip to the gym for swimming and strength training.

Week 10 Check In
Weight = 169.5
Cardio = 5
Strength training = 2
Swimming = 1
Total Weight Loss = 11 lbs
Plan for Week 11
Weight = 2 lb loss
Cardio = 5
Strength training = 3
Swimming = 3
No change in the weight but no worries. I had a good week. Work was CRAZY, but I did good with my diet and workouts. I'm getting there with the swimming, something is better than nothing.
This week I want to focus on planning because the month of April is going to be busy with some work travel and vacation with my mom and she is cooking so I definitely will need to workout ALOT. She has already shown me the menu she plans to cook, ummmmm.
Hope everyone else is having a good week!
