No swimming this morning so I got a sleep in. BONUS! Tried to get a run in before work, but as I got to work the heavens opened up and dumped a lot of rain. Now I feel a bit blah!
Weather cleared and wind died out, GREAT DAY but stuck at work poooo!
Having gotten back into daily exercise/training I have noticed I am not as grumpy most of the time, I feel more energetic, and generally more happy. I know I am doing it with medicinal help too, but having that outlet is a definite benefit. It gives the body that spring that it needs to get to a better place. I know the first couple of weeks are always tough, then everyone jumps on scales, watching the weight drop the first 2-3 weeks, getting all excited, then a plateau as the fat starts to be replaced by muscle. That is where most of us fatty's lose motivation. I know because I have been down this cycle many times myself. A lot of my current circle of friends never knew me when I was 130kg, so they find it really hard to picture me being in that place. Everything was a struggle, but I am not saying nothing is a struggle now, it's just my expectations have moved on from then.
I've got a team Half to do with the girls, and Alex is already giving us the hard word not to lose any places after she puts us in a great spot in the swim.
OH THE PRESSURE !?!
It should be a lot of fun, being able to race as a family. I know if she ever decides to get really serious about the sport, she could go really far. She is really strong and has naturally really good technique on all 3 of the disciplines. Just a bit of motivation and desire would be all it would need to be fairly successful.
Got a 25 minute run in tonight, just a light jog as we still don't have our program yet. Poor coach has a family member pass away this past weekend. I hope they are doing ok.
