Back to life...back to reality (or so the song goes). California was a lot of fun. I just love the ocean and showing it to my kids for the first time was amazing. It was a little cold but we still managed to play in the waves.
I did not do well with the working out or eating healthy. I did have two good workouts at the hotel gym, and of course we walked everyday (especially at Disney!). I came home with a 5 lb weight gain. That is actually not as bad as I thought it would be considering I ate lots of carbs and consumed alcohol on a daily basis. It is detox time!
We landed Sat. night and I was back on our treadmill by Sunday afternoon. I had a pain in my shin so I did not do as well. I ran/walked for 60 minutes with my maximum speed only being 4.6. In the end it came to about 4.2 miles or so. As much as I was dreading that first workout, it felt good. However, I am starting to lose my confidence. My husband is concerned that I am placing too much pressure on myself to complete the 1/2 sprint next month and that I should instead focus on the training. I can see his point. I meet with Kelly tomorrow to go over a tri-training plan. This will either give me the boost of confidence I need or it will make me realize that I am in over my head.
In the meantime, no alcohol, no carbs (except for veggies) and lots of water. I am still on west coast time so the sleeping is an issue but hopefully not for long. Workout schedule will resume tomorrow.
