Day 1

Day 1 - weight 121.4, goal 110

I've made a list, 50 things to do before I am 50 . . .one item is to finish an Ironman in under 14 hours.  I'm giving myself two chances, IMTX (May) and IMAZ (November).  I am starting this journey being 11.4 pounds over weight, which at 4'11" is a lot of weight to carry.  My clothes don't fit, and I hate being chunky.  Sometimes I forget how I look, until I walk past a mirror.  There has been a lot of emotional eating this past year, with extended business travel and a very hard project at work.  My goal this upcoming year is to take my life back, and get back to the fitness level I am used to.

So, today is day 1 and I hope by writing down my feelings I will stay true to myself and be able to make this goal happen.

I just spent an hour on my compu trainer, very easy - only pushed a load of 50, but hey I need to start some where.  I have meetings outside the office for the morning, but I a hoping to go for a run when I get home.  Maybe start a running streak . . . today would be day 3 of straight running.

Running streak 3 days - total distance 13.8 miles
