Dax Summer ED Day #2

Day 2... Stuck home this morning as the workers are here fixing our plumbing problem...errrr! I am so used to going to the gym first thing in the morning. Oh well.... this is supposed to be my "Recovery Week" for my Triathlon Training so technically all I am supposed to be doing is a 45 minute easy biek ride today. I did do the tabata protocol yesterday of bodyweight rows and alternating squats at my facility where I do personal training while joining some of my clients...ended up turning the whole workout session into supersetting of tabatas.. They loved it...as they were sweating and panting. Yep..intensity is vital in working out. I also was able to squeeze in my 12 laps (300) of easy swim at the neighborhood pool yesterday trampling any person who got in my way. I mean really, just 12 laps in a pool didn't take that much time and I needed to get my swim in, apologize for not being able to wait for Adult Swim but I had to be at the facility by 4pm and first things first. I really am trying to remember that in this new sport of Sprint Tri training you are to look at it as just all one training...you are not just swimming or biking or running...but they all 3 go together. I was really hoping to have a road bike by my next Tri on Aug 21 but as life has it...things just keep popping up and my road bike is placed on the back burner. Oh well, I will just take this as another challenge of having to work harder on a mountain bike which will just make me stronger. "All in good time" I keep reminding myself. I am anxiously awaiting today's workout, I hope they get posted earlier in the day or even weekly in advance. Oh well..that's part of my personality..bitch, moan, bitch, moan.. but I am just happy to be a part of this challenge.

I have not yet taken my measurements..but I did weigh yesterday and was 141 lbs. I am so wanting to be in that "130 Club" as much as I know numbers mean nothing...I'm still a 'girl' and I still want to see it. Much better than 4 years ago when my starting weight was 212 lbs~! Going to get a tape measure and will measure today. Need to really pick up my water intake. So glad I joined this challenge as I was getting in such a bad habit of eating cereal for dinner and that always seemed to be when I would also become lactose intolerant for the rest of the nite. As my 14 year old daughter Paige would ask me every time..."Mom, why do you keep eating that if it does that to you?" I really don't know. I think because it is just so easy to make a bowl of cold cereal even though I have already cooked the family dinner. Go figure why so many things we do just because we do. I am glad I will not have any dairy or cereal for 30 days..>I was needing to get that out of my 'diet' anyway. My last 30-day Challenge rid me of my 'cheeses' perhaps I can finally say goodbye to dry cereal... LOL.
