Decided: Weightloss.
In going back a post to my Weightloss vs. Triathlons post, I was debating what I should do to keep myself happy, lose weight or keep on the triathlon front. I finally made the decision after I stepped on the scale and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I decided that I needed to make a change or I feared, that even with triathlons, I was going down the path that got me up to over 350 pounds in my life, picture for reference. I am not even close to that, in fact I’m not even close to 300 pounds at all, I am at 260, I am just afraid of getting bigger than I am now.
This week I started counting calories again, like I did in the Biggest Loser days. It means measuring/weighing food. Getting correct calorie counts, which I will not lie, is a bitch sometimes … but worth it!
My goal weight: 200-210 lbs. I have all summer to get there, it will be done. I am a week into the calorie counting, and have not done much working out, but I get back on that train hard this weekend and the weight will melt away.
I will still be doing some triathlons, but I think anything longer than an Olympic distance will be out of the question, we will see tho. Just because I am on weight loss kick does not mean I will not swim, bike and run … those will never stop, I will just be doing those very high intensity and adding other exercises I had not been doing.
Thank you everyone who shared your thoughts with me!
