Taking the Reins

I’m happy to report that the initial shock and awe of my excess eating due to the Abs Diet has now subsided.  I’ve got a grasp on it, and I’ve modified the plan so that I’m staying within my WW points now.  As a result, I lost the 1.5 lb gain, and lost another 0.5 lbs.  I even completed my 3rd weight circuit last night and managed to get to spin class on Thursday!  How’s THAT for dedication?  Hey, baby steps here.

 My triathlon training program starts up again next week.  We get schedules e-mailed to us for our individual workouts, but with the group, we are doing “Power Yoga” and a timed run for next week.  I’m psyched!  I cannot wait to get back into it, and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again and meeting new people.  We are getting together tomorrow to do a run clinic and buy new shoes, and a part of me really wants to get down there and buy a pair….it’s just not in the budget quite yet.  At any rate, suffice it to say I am motivated and ready to get moving!  The gym isn’t so bad when you have a goal like a race to look forward to.

 On another positive note, my parents are planning on flying out to Las Vegas for my first Olympic distance triathlon in April!  I told them not to expect greatness because it’s an early season race and my first time pushing myself, but it’ll be so much fun and so motivating to have them there cheering me on. 

 Anyway, that’s my update.  Have a great weekend.
