Jake and I got married April 28, 2012 and I thought it would be fun to blog about married life, work, working out and trying to reach my goal weight!
I have been following quite a few ladies on here already and thought it would be fun to start my own blog! I got an email yesterday about a sprint triathalon that is in 10 weeks and think I am going to train and try it! I did my first 5k about two years ago and ran/walked it in either 39/49 minutes, I cant remember, then I did my second 5k this past March and ran the whole thing in 34:29, thank goodness I had my now husband pacing me, because I dont think I could have done it without him. Neither of those were done with training, although I have been working out. So I downloaded the C25K app on my phone and have been working through it intermittantly. I am on week 4 and I started right after the 5k. So I decided a triatholon would be fun and motivation to keep training and working out.
The wedding had been my motivation, I had started getting serious about working out December of 2010, then changed my eating habits July of 2011. Jake proposed October 2011 (hello motivation), I lost 25lb by our wedding. I was only 5 pounds from my goal weight and then the honeymoon happened... and alot of people quit at work and my boss figured I could handle double my current work load, and then my uncle died and then my period came, I am now back up more than I want to be, hoping alot of that is water weight and period related. Guess we will see next week.
I am getting back on track with eating and working out, its just so hard to start up again, even after only falling "off" the wagon for a month!
We will see how it goes!
