Tired

This past week as been good but tiring, if you workout a lot aren't you supposed to have more energy? I'm always tired.... My legs are sore from Tuesdays weight training, yesterdays spin challenging and Mondays swim was ok. I slept in this morning so need to hit the gym tonight.

I'm still not running, my ankle is still bothering me a bit so I'm hoping if I let it rest it will heal faster.

Committed & Recovering

A week has passed since my incident with the stairs and my ankle is doing much better. I'm back at the gym swimming, cycling and cardio machines. The only thing I can't do is run.... this will pose a problem at some point given it's my weakest part of the process.

Yesterday was recommitment to TNT and guaranteed I would raise $5900 or pay the difference. It was scary to sign this paperwork and know I'm financially on the line for this. I have a couple of fundraisers planned and hoping this will get me where I need to be.

Yesterday, was also the first day with new trainer and it was good! I think I'm going be sore later today but having someone push you is inspiring. Katie (my workout partner) and I do weights on regular basis but Kevin (trainer) really pushed the limits! We will be doing this twice a week with him and looking forward to our bikini bodies!

Strong vs The Stairs

The week was off with a BANG! I hit the gym on Monday morning for 30 minutes of cardio and then weights. Off to work and things were going well. At 7pm I left for the pool for our coached swim from 8pm - 9pm. It had been a couple weeks but I was working on my stroke and gliding with the best of them.

A bit tired after that but rallied to watch the Bachelor with a glass of wine and Katie.

Tuesday morning, I woke up a little late but rallied to jump on the treadmill and get a run in before work. While coming down the stairs, I missed a step, twisted by ankle and landed on my ass. I had to lay there for a few minutes because I was feeling light headed. I finally found my way to the couch, called my brother and off to the Dr. I went.

Thankfully, my ankle is not broken but it is nice and sprained.... this puts a bit of glitch in my tri-training :-( I've been resting my ankle, icing, elevating and taking Advil in the hopes it heals quickly. Today it feels a bit better but still swolen and sore.

Damn those stairs!

A big day of workouts

Getting back into the swing of things this week has been hard. Monday I got in a little cardio and weights but missed swim practice cuz I fell asleep (guess I was tired). Tuesday, I couldn't get it together...

But Wednesday, I rocked it out! I hit a 6:15am spin class then straight to weights. I was feeling good about the day but one more workout to go, I had running practice at 7pm and shockling I did pretty well!

The goal this morning was to get a swim in but all of those workouts yesterday kicked my butt and I couldn't get out of bed in time :-( I'm yawning as I type this, one of those big, eye watering kind of yawns....

Maybe I will get a walk with the dogs in after work...
But tomorrow is spin and weights again for sure!

Goodbye Holidaze

Now that the holidays are over so are my excuses for not working out everyday as scheduled! I did manage to get in two workouts last week, one being a run in Las Vegas but Flamingo Dr has a lot of cars :-(

I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions so I have nothing to report on that but today I was back at the gym. I did 20 minutes of cardio and weights. Tonight is swim practice! I am attempting to cook more to eat heathy...we all know I don't do that which could be causing the delay in my weight loss.
