Welcome to my blog! I'm documenting here my transition from being an obese former 'party girl' to reaching my goal of becoming a triathlete. I've got roughly 100lbs to lose and the count down has begun till my first triathlon, roughly 6 months from now. To add to the madness, I decided that it would also be fun to run a half marathon on my last day of 20's, 3 months from now.
It's going to take a whole lot of work but I'm not going to give up on my dreams! Who knows, maybe someday the Ironman?
hehehe

Weigh in Wednesday: November 23, 2011
Last week: 225
This week: 223
Loss: -2
Total loss: -2
I’ve decided I’m going to start weighing myself every week from now on to keep myself accountable. Unfortunately, I know that until the second week of December I am going to either stay the same or gain. I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up surpassing my all-time highest weight by then either. Why? Well, in one week from now I am going to England and then to Holland. I’ll be gone for about ten days total. I’ll be honest, dieting and eating healthy will be the last things on my mind. I struggled with this a bit, trying to figure out if I should eat healthy while there or splurge the entire time. I think at this point it wouldn’t really make much of a difference in the scale weight. It’s not going to make or break me, I’m not going to fall off the ‘wagon’ and stick with those unhealthy habits. No. I’m going to go and enjoy myself with friends. Have more than a couple of beers, eat recklessly and create awesome memories with friends I may never see again. I don’t want my trip to be filled with stress and planning, restrictions and regret. I’m going to go and have a great time and come back a little fatter. So what??
Would any of you do things differently? Why or why not?
This is EXACTLY how I feel! Seriously, I’m not interested in dating you Mr. Dude if you think I’ll be more worthy 60lbs lighter.

Yesterday I got my new sports bra in the mail. Today I received my GymBoss interval trainer/timer and I also purchased a headband to keep my annoying hair from frizzing in my face.
Tomorrow, is gonna be an awesome run!
with their arrogance. if you don’t want to eat meat, fine. just don’t pretend like you hold some secret key to the universe of good health. you just sound ignorant.
and here comes the hate.
Sometimes meat eaters make me angry, because despite the fact that I keep my…
Agreed. I literally just had a coworker tell me, “let’s just get turkeys and cut their heads off! I love meat!” after I said to a different coworker, “I’m vegetarian” and he asked, “for animal (cruelty) reasons?” and all I said was, “yes.” I didn’t say anything else but she felt the need to make comments like that. It doesn’t phase me but it’s annoying. And then veggies get slack like we’re the inconsiderate ones who shove out choice down omnis throats. I don’t know a single preachy veg or vegan but every meat eater I know feels it’s okay to belittle my choice and disrespect me like it’s a joke. I just don’t get it.
OMG, why is this an issue? Everyone is different, and we all live out own lives our own way! Everyone just needs to leave each other alone about their choices when it comes to eating. If you want to live off celery sticks and soy beans, do it! if you want to consume dead pigs, cows, or whatever, do it! Just keep it out of each other’s faces! We are supposed to be supporting each other damnit! >.< SUPPORT EACH OTHER NOW! I COMMAND IT!!!!
Seriously though, it shouldn’t even be an issue. To each their own and all that.
I’m not technically a vegetarian, I just don’t like eating meat. It’s interesting to see both point of views though. I do get extremely annoyed when people try to tell me to eat meat. Maybe it’s because I don’t call myself one or the other but NO I will not eat turkey this Thanksgiving! Thanks for telling me I’m stupid for buying a Tofurky though! :)
I’ve known about this site for a while now. It also lets you pick out your body shape!
AWESOME!

Yesterday was a lesson learned! It was Week 2 Day 4 of my half marathon training. Since I’ve started I have been running in the gym, on the treadmill. I knew there was a difference with running outside and on the treadmill but I thought I had been prepping myself just fine by having the incline up and alternating. I was wrong. I set out to do my four miles and wow! That had to be one of the crappiest runs yet. I don’t think I can even count it as a run since in all honesty I ended up walking half of it.
I am glad though that I didn’t just head home once I realized how different it was. I’m going to take this lesson learned and now try to slowly build up my runs outside. That, or I can try contacting the people at the Livestrong Half Marathon and ask them nicely to let me do mine on the treadmill! :) I am also happy that I found this out early on and didn’t wait till training week 10 to give it a go!
Tonight I’m swimming and tomorrow I’m starting Week 3!
