What has been happening in my life

This week has been crazy. The weather here still doesn't know what it wants to do and we are getting blasted again with snow. I really want to get outside and ride my bike! Im really starting to go batty training on my trainer for 2 hrs and 45 min at a time!

I have made a conscious effort in my eating healthy. It has been exactly 3 days without any sweets at all. I am working on a 85/15 paleo diet right now. I can cheat 15% of the time with grains but this is it. I was upset with my boyfriend the other day as I told him I wanted to eat sensibly and more healthy and him and his friend thought that it would be a good Idea to order pizza and wings. I was upset and told him how I felt, baked and ate my Tilapia and veggies while they were scarfing down the Pizza. Yesterday, my guy knew how serious I was and started to ask me what he needed to do in order to support me in my process of eating well. Im on the right start! I've even got him to join me again for swimming and cycling sessions! Yah!

I had a fit the other day when I decided to wear a dress to work. It had a zipper on the back and I couldn't seem to get it all the way zipped up. I was in the locker room and didnt want to ask another person to help zip me up so I pulled it up and zipped it over my head, all while saying, a woman wouldn't have designed this outfit!!

I also was revved up about the gym again. Now the gym is very busy around 4-6 pm and this is when we decided to swim yesterday. I saw people waiting for parking spots. Now this gets me aggravated. Sure I will look for a spot up close if it is cold and raining, but to wait?! NO way! You are going to the gym people! it wont hurt to walk to the door too.

I finally saw who that Mark guy was that took my complaint call as I mentioned in a earlier post. He looked just like he sounded. Old jerk. Ah, that felt better that off my chest.

I received a nice letter of thank you from one of my patients this week and it really made me smile and be proud of the practitioner I am today. This is my passion to help people, to listen, to give advice. I guess I made the right choice. Somedays are harder than others but in the end I like what I do.

I have a hour ride to do so Im going to get cycling!

Happy training!

Random Thursday

It has been a crazy week this week at work and in training. Now that we are getting into the real swing of things and trying to nail the race schedule down, I have been thinking of a new tri bike since mine is a little to big for me. You see when I bought it I believed I was 5'7" in reality my doc just shrunk me 1.5 feet! Im only 5'5"!! So now because I know this, I know my bike is a little too big for me. I am all stretched out on my bike to the point my back is starting to hurt.

Yesterday I went to a local shop to get a training scewer for my trainer. Yes, I have been riding on the one that came with my bike!! GASP! Well, the guy was awesome in the store and was telling me about some great deals he is having on Felt and Secialized bikes. I mean full carbon bikes here! How can I resist and I was drooling over a few! I decided I would wait to decide and way the pros and cons of each bike before I chose my partner. Im torn! I still cannot decide! Im leaning towards the Felts because of all the great reviews.

Last night I watched Idol while Riding on the trainer. I love watching people who really think they can sing! Hilarious! I always dreamed of being on American Idol since my College days many moons ago. WE would sit and watch it with all the other dormies. It was like family night. I think I would get to the first round at least! Ha ha!

This morning I had an awesome run and wanted to follow it up with my swim. I got a cramp in my inner thigh, same inner thigh after 2500 meters! I took 54g of carbs in per hour so I doubt it was that. I have no clue. Its starting to annoy me. Maybe I should see a Chiropractor.

I guess Im done rambling for now. Until next time. Happy Training!
