So, I'm going to weigh in every 3rd sunday from now on, because I go to my parents house and they have a nice scale. Anyways, I weighed in on Suday and I was 271. I'm going in the right direction, but I still have a long way to go.
I have been overweight since I was about 10, and I've always wanted to be skinny, but not enough to actually do something about it.
I got married in mid 2006, and basically just decided that enough is enough. If I don't do something now, I probably never will.
I got started in triathlon at the beginning of 2007 because my brother and sister-in law, as well as my parents, had done some triathlons, and really enjoyed them. I gave in to coaxing to participate in an early spring sprint tri, and didn't really train at all. I ended up getting a flat on the bike, and after walking my bike back, just decided not to finish. I signed up for another sprint in September, but I didn't take my training seriously enough that time either, and finished in 2:05.
I've finally decided that I want triathlon to be a part of my life, and I want to live a healthier lifestyle. For now, I'm just keeping very close track of my diet, and doing a lot of base training. I'm looking forward to Cache Valley Tri 2011.
