Ramping up for Ironman Coeur d'Alene
So...I did it!! Finisher at the California International Marathon on Sunday! Woo hoo! I was not super thrilled with my 5:44 time, but it was better than the alternative of sitting on the couch as soon as summer ended, which is my usual MO. Proud of me. I have 30 days to my Ironman training start, so I'm thinking of…

P90X is killing me...lol
Day Two: Official diagnosis, wimpy. I made it through 25 minutes today. I think the exercises are waaaaaay harder than my marathon...I hate them...and what is with the effing IRRITATING guy on there? Does he ever shut the hell up????? I'm committed, going to do this for a month...deep breath. I am a badass. I am a badass.…

Any other CIM survivors out there this morning?
I just finished the California International Marathon yesterday (yay me!!) My first marathon! (Funny, because since I've done an Ironman triathlon I thought A) this would be a walk in the park and B) that it wasn't really a big deal, just a long training day. Well I was wrong about both!!!

Serious NSV!
Today I rocked a sprint triathlon, one of my best, but this is the kicker... I've been a slow fat triathlete for such a long time, and I'm used to finishing last, so I start my swim at the back of the pack to avoid being mowed down by other swimmers. I took my place accordingly...and it took me five whole minutes to get…

Pls take your fries and leave!
So why is it that people who aren't on a diet so determined to get us to try to eat foods we don't want???? I seriously just had a co-worker come into my office with a little box of McDonalds french fries, shove the box in my face and insist that I eat one!!! He seemed offended that I didn't. Now my office stinks like…

Do you record the one-week-a-month weight gain?
I'm having a water-retention week instead of a weight loss week. Grrrr. Any thoughts on whether to weigh/ record these weeks or not? I like seeing it's a monthly pattern and not just because I ate too many potato chips one day, but obviously hate seeing the higher number after all my diligent work...
