Quick announcement: This is the first post on my self hosted blog. Thanks for finding the new site. I hope that this new site will be the perfect platform for me to greatly improve on the blog. I have a new format idea and will hopefully be posting about that later today.
I decided to sign [...]
Eat
Had another good day of eats today. Had to add an almond butter sandwich to dinner (roasted eggplant) because I was going to be a bit calorie deficient.

I know that I started out this well last week and it was abysmal after that, [...]
Eat
My eats for today were decent. I ate a few unknowns though: M made the sweet potato fries and put about 5 times too much oil (but I cannot complain because he did most of the cooking tonight!) and I had a wrap for lunch (I used Subways chicken bacon ranch wrap for my calorie [...]
Sporting my race number…
At the start of the swim/race:
Swimming (I actually did breast stroke the whole time and my time was okay given this fact), please note the “No Swimming” sign:
Transitioning from swim to run (isn’t that trisuit hot?)…Going out for the bike ride. The ride was great. I mostly passed people and didn’t get [...]

I did great today with my food. In fact, I may be too good at this point.

So yes, this seems low. But I [...]
I managed to drag my butt out of bed this morning and run 3 miles as the sun rose (this was my NSV). Sadly, I did not feel nearly as energized today as I expected. I’m hoping to do it again tomorrow again. I did the run as more of an easy jog and [...]
Last week when I did my brick, M was in DC for the day so naturally I ate dinner after my workout. It never fails that when he is away/busy for the night and I’m working out that I eat after my workout. However, when he’s home he convinces me to eat dinner before the [...]
I’m really tired this evening, probably a combination of my bike ride this evening and getting up earlier this week to do Shred. I did Shred again this morning. I seriously cannot believe how much I sweat in that 20 minutes nor how much I want the 20 minutes to be over! I actually posted [...]
Cool Running (who I credit with my running because of their famous Couch to 5k plan) tweeted/twittered today about the 8 common nutrition mistakes. I didn’t and still haven’t made it past mistake number 1: protein intake. The article recommends .5 – .75 grams of protein per pound of body weight. This would mean I [...]
I had grand plans of doing a 45+ mile bike ride today. Had a bit of a scheduling issue and decided to do 25 miles instead. About 10 miles in I realized that eating really erratic today (bowl of cereal at 11 a.m. was the most substantive thing I ate all day) was leaving absolutely [...]
