Taking the Reins

It’s only taken 3 days, but my focus is back.  Funny how it takes an entire year and half to recommit to the program after you were initially so successful!  I even unearthed my WW Lifetime Membership card, which I will dutifully take to a meeting with me very soon. 

I’m at 22 points, and although I’m still hungry, I’m finally getting used to it and being honest with myself.  When I post my log tonight, that’s it.  I informed DH that I am out of points, so he will help me if I try to sneak into the fridge or cupboard tonight for an evening snack.    This time, I’m going to get to where I want to be BEFORE I start the heavy training.  This darn belly WILL be gone, along with all the extra fat that’s hanging around just for the heck of it.  I WILL do it this time.  No more lies.  No more self-destruction.  I’m not doing this for aesthetics….I’m doing it for free speed!  (Seriously, I know I’ll be faster with less bulk hanging around)

Anyways, looked at more bikes today.  Scheduled a fitting at a bike shop to check my optimal angles for a tri bike….hopefully that’ll help me decide what frame geometry I should be looking at to maintain comfort and achieve the maximum power output.  As you know, I am all about the speed– I must be fast!  So the fitting is going to take an hour and a half on the fit bike on Wednesday.  I’m kind of excited, but it could be a lot of work.  We’ll see…..

So tonight, I’m packing the gym bag with my swimsuit, pull buoy, and a nice 1800 meter swim workout so that I can head straight to the gym after work.  I need to keep at it 3 times a week to maintain my base, so although I’m a little behind, hopefully I can rededicate and catch up.

Here’s the damage for the day:
