IN THE ZONE!

My Triathlon is this weekend! My Triathlon is this weekend!

I got my last major workout in yesterday. I biked 10.5 miles TO volleyball, playing my sand volleyball games and biked the 10.5 miles back. It was 3 hours of fitness fun.

After work today I’m going to get a 350m swim in and call it a day.

Tomorrow will be a rest day and then the race is bright and early Sunday.

Oh and can we talk about how I dropped a ton of weight since I weighed in on Wed morning. The scale read 183.0 this morning. After my NYC carbfest, I’ve tightened the belt this week and have been busting my ass. This is the lowest number I’ve seen in a while and I’m thrilled. I’m going to rest on Monday, but I want to stay in “training mode” incase I decide to do a Sept sprint triathlon (because I’m crazy).

I feel strong, I feel confident, I feel nervous, I feel excited, but most importantly I feel ready.

Say Cheese

Today I went to my new dentist (the one who I will get my veneers done at) for a cleaning. While I was there she had time to “sand” down the bonding that has been on my 4 front teeth since HS. The bonding was chipped and discolored, I’ve always been SUPER self-conscious of them in my adult life. Plus due to chipping the surface of those front 4 teeth were very bumpy and uneven.

In under 10 minutes she changed my smile and my self confidence has sky-rocketed in terms of my smile. I bought the whitening kit from my dentist office to start that process. I’m excited to see my new smile start to develop! 

WIW – Race Week Edition

This week: 186.8

Last week: 185.6

I’m okay with the number. I’m coming off my period AND I ate all the carbs while in NYC. Pizza, bagels, and AMAZING FOOD at Oda House – thanks VeggieLife and Fromthebackofthepack for the recommendation – everything was superb and we loved the wine too. 

I biked and ran my tri course again yesterday, felt good. Looking forward to my 2 swims to get in this week that will hopefully further calm my nerves. 

Trying to eat well and hydrate this week. Still figuring out what to eat the day before and morning of. I have a basic nutrition game plan, but I need to tighten it up.
