Well, Rick and I broke up.  He said that we were on two different pathways.  I am not sure what that really means...  He also said that he loves me but not in love with me.  So it is something that I can not control.  If my pathway bothers him that getting healthy then I really can't do anything about it.  I just have to find someone who wants to be on the same "pathway" as me. 

On other note, 6 more days until the triathlon...

June 18th

Worked out hard today...  Swam for an hour and then went to a water cardio class.  Really loved it.  My free pass only lasts one more week at LA Fitness.  I don't know if I am going to join.  We will see.  On another note, the triathlon is only a week away.  So lots of training in the next few days and then a pasta dinner next week Saturday...  Wow, haven't had pasta in a long time.  lol.

Have a doctor's apt. on Monday...  she hasn't seen me in three months so hope she will be proud.  Talk to ya later.

Well, didn't lose any weight this last week.  But I had some slip ups so I am glad that I didn't gain any.  I have less than two weeks before the sprint triathlon.  Getting exited. 

June 8th

Well, worked out with Amy (my trainer) this morning.  I love her.  She is amazing and helps plan my workouts every week.  She is not only a trainer but is turning into a wonderful friend. 

Had broccoli slaw and some olives for lunch with some V8, yumm.  Packed my dinner for tonight.  Grad class (8 hours long).  Just keep thinking, only one month of school.  lol.  Lots of work to do for it.  A little stressed about it.

Tomorrow going with a good friend to gamble...  Penny slots and 5 dollar black jack tables here I come.  The funny thing is that I am a little worried about the free drinks and the buffett table...  Haven't been gambling since this life change has started...  Sorry no drinks, can I have some water with lemon... lol...  Not sure how to do the buffett thing....  I do think I will bring some healthy snacks with me in my purse so I am not starving when I do eat our big meal...

Thanks for listening... 

First Post...

Ok, so I started my journey back in October, after landing myself in the hospital since I was not taking care of myself...

Now it is June and I am down 124 pounds. 

I watch my portions, low carbohydrates, high proteins, lots of veggies.  I also exercise four or five times a week.

I have jogged two 5K's and I am now training for a sprint triathlon that is in three weeks.

This blog is to help me and others work out our issues with food and exercise.  Hope it helps...  Talk to you soon.
