Wait March is over?

Well as you can tell we have been very bad at blogging. I hope life runs away for you as fast as it does for us.

First to clear up the last post. I said " not like WE can hide it." Just so you know I am not as rude as I sound. However I have been more blunt lately. I think it is because of the working out. OK maybe its because I am a rude person and am just finding this out.

Ok now on to the good stuff. Work outs have been a little different. The early mornings have been really hard. So we are mixing things up. I have been doing some up in my room before bed or may not at all. Gosh darn it. Let me be really honest with you all right now. Working out is fun, I love eating healthy food but I seem to make bad choices in both areas. Why is it that once I start doing great I kick myself in the butt and mess it all up. I think something is wrong with me. I really want to be healthy and thinner. But I feel like I am my own worst enemy in this department.

I was watching the biggest loser last night (YAY for Melissa going home! I hate that skinny bittie. OK hate is a strong word so I really really really don't like her. ( yes this is a song)) and was so excited to work out. So I set my alarm early to go and texted A to say we were going to the gym. Well A had a rough night and it was just not going to happen for her. So I set my alarm anyways and was so excited to go. Well 6am rolls around and the alarm goes off. I hit the snooze. So then after a little while I get up and do some half hearted yoga moves and then call it good. I KNOW that was not a good workout. So I am going to have to do something tonight to make up for it.

Ok ok ok enough with the complaining. Tomorrow is a new day and a new chance to do better. I know my results will not be as fast as the biggest losers results but eventually I will have the same results. My sister J is doing an "Iron man in a week" (she does the whole iron man just has a week to do it) I am sure that this is something I can do. I am however not doing the swim yet. I am not comfortable in a swim suite yet and I know if I tell myself I have to do it I will not do any of it. This is really sad because I love swimming. I was a swimmer for most of my life. I just lost it some where. I think I left it in New Mexico. So I need suggestions on what I should do instead. So let me hear it!!! I need to do 2.4 miles of it. It can be anything. So here is the break down.

112 miles of bike riding
26 miles of running/ walking
2.4 miles of ... you have to let me know.

I am going to start this on Monday. So I will have from Monday the 12th till Monday the 19th. That means I will be biking 19 miles a day and running/ walking 4.5 miles a day. Wow that is a lot. However when I finish this and have done it all I am going to go buy myself brand new running shoes!!! YAY!!

So I am going to keep track of my time on each day so that in the end I can tell you all how much time I spent doing my extended time iron man. Then in 3 months I am going to do it again. This way we can all see if I am making progress. Maybe by then I will feel fine with the swim suite thing.

Wish me luck. I will need it.
