I've been toying with the idea of doing a sprint triathlon next year. There is a new pool/gym scheduled to open this fall in the town where I live, which would make it more convenient to get some swimming practice in. This is the one area of doing a triathlon that scares me the most, because I have absolutletly no technique. I would have to seek some help from a swim coach or something. I already run so that would just be a matter of keeping up with it and I'm quite comfortable biking as it is m… Continue

Every day is a new day right? Well I had another chance to start over, and I had a great day. I'm getting a bit tired of starting over every week and not getting anywhere, but I'm going to keep at it! One of these weeks I WILL CHOOSE NOT TO ERASE ALL OF MY HARD WORK AND BEST INTENTIONS WITH ANOTHER STUPID BINGE(S) I really need a good, week long streak of planned, healthy, on track eating. I can do this!

Well I made to a ww meeting yesterday with my kids in tow. We were there a little too early though.

Well I decided to get my butt back into a weight watchers meeting. I haven't consistently gone to weight watchers since hitting my goal back in December and it has been a bit challenging. Up until about a month ago I have been maintaining between 137lbs and 141 depending on the day. My goal weight is 135lbs. Suddenly my weight has really started jumping. It's been a combination of things. Up until the beginning of March I had been training for a half marathon. The fact that I was being consisten… Continue

I'm really happy to be back blogging again, even though I sometimes have a hard time thinking of anything truly important to say. I really enjoy the support, encouragement, and kind words amongst everyone on BTL. It is great to talk to people that are going through the same ups and downs. Many people in my life can't really relate in the same way that people here can.

I decided to come back to BTL because I know that I need a supportive community in order to be successful. I have at least 10 lb… Continue
