From Couch to Ironman

.




This blog is my journey from being a couch potato to becoming a (half) ironman finisher. It is a work in progress. Although the blog starts on January 23, 2009, I took the first step a year ago. I will try to keep updating every Sunday (once a week). This one started with the decision to lose 35 LBs before June. Read and see where I am. You'll also find out where I've been and where I am headed.

Bunny Hops and Easter Sunday

Hi there, thanks for tuning back in. I truly appreciate your support.

Before anything else - I have decided to switch my blog to a bi-monthly format. Reason being that I have pretty much achieved all of the goals I set at the beginning of the year (weight loss, triathlon training and work). On second thought, maintaining the achievements might be the hardest part, but I am still very focused.

During the last 2 weeks, I reached 184 LBs two separate days during the last 2 weeks but I am averaging 188. This week I cheated a little bit when we went on a friends and family outing to the beach and on Easter day. However, NOTHING stands between me and quality time with the family.

This week was Spring Break and we didn’t really do much, I took the last two days off from work. On Saturday, we went to Anna Maria Island – this beach has been consistently rated Top 5 in the US. It was a gorgeous day. 80 degrees/Sunny/low humidity; what can I say, a God-Blessed holiday indeed.

Either my skin is getting more sensitive, or I forgot that I need to put sunscreen on my scalp!!! YEOW!!! The good thing is that I was feeling pretty good on my new skin.

Easter Sunday included an egg hunt at my neighbors’. They really are some of the nicest people we’ve met here. I will post some pics during the week. We had a great time, the kids enjoyed the egg hunt, and with her Cuban family, we always feel just as with our family.

For next week my goals are:
Continue with two training sessions per sport each week
Maintain my weight (185-189 lbs)
