It has been a year since I even thought about this blog but I have got back into the swing of exercising. After the holiday season I tipped the scales at whoping 206 lbs or 93.5 kgs. That is the most I have ever weighed so I set a goal and at the end of January started about achieving it. The goal was 180 lbs. I routinely heard that I didn't need to lose weight but fortunately those people never saw me naked otherwise they wouldn't have been saying that. My time in the UK certainly did not help as I didn't eat really healthy. But I can make many an excuse for my spare tire.
Anyway things have changed. I am now on the verge of reaching my goal. At this mornings weigh in I hit 180.8 lbs (81.5 kg) and 19% body fat. I am pretty excited to be at this point and have set new goals and while I have not attained my weight goal just yet by accomplishing my next goal I will blow 180 out of the water and probably get down to about 175 by mid June.
For a long time I have wanted to enter in a triathlon and this weekend I signed up for the provo tri. I signed up for the sprint (shorter distances) and couldn't be more excited despite the fact that I will have to swim in the Provo Utah Lake marina. Anyway I was so excited I went out and bought some tight shirt that is supposed to help me and even tighter pants.
I have my first swim session in the morning and I will be getting up at 5am to go hit the pool.
I am so anxious and excited about this event. Sitting at the back of my mind is my next goal but I am not sure that can be a reality as it is a little selfish and I need to think long and hard about that one but I will list it here now just so that it is written down.
The St. George Ironman. Approximately 140 miles of hell. Swim 2.5 miles, bike 112 and run 26.2. The event will be in Utah for 5 years and I figure I can work up to it.
Anyway, I'll be posting more.
Swag
