Triathlon Training ...

Wow is about all I can say.  Training for a sprint triathlon, juggling work, taking care of 4 kids and all the busy summer schedules, keeping a house clean and people fed is a tough job!  I feel like I have so many balls up in the air juggling that I might just drop them all....right now, I am just dropping the clean house ... so I am considering that a success.

I have been following THIS plan from Everymom to IRONMOM for my 8 weeks to a sprint triathlon.  It has been a great program and I feel like I am really ready for my first race on July 6th.  I am super excited.  I have overcome many obstacles, fears and frustrations.  I have wanted to keep this blog updated, but I have obviously dropped that ball too, but I will try to get my thoughts and feelings down as soon as I can!

Until then, I hope you are loving life and enjoying the beautiful world we live in!!

I made it!  I had to phase off Ideal Protein because of the intensity of my training for my triathlon.  I wasn't dropping the weight anymore so I didn't want to spend all the money on the product.  I may go back on it if I need to in the fall to get to my ultimate goal, but for now I have fitness goals I want to obtain!
 
I cannot even describe how awesome it feels to have finally gotten rid of those almost 30 pounds!  I have been trying for 5 years to shed them and now it has finally happened.  I am so grateful I found the key to unlock my fat :)!!
 
This was my last weigh-in for a Dietbet I participated in.  It is the only picture I have of my at this weight right now.
