Weekly Update – January 7, 2013

First weekly update for 2013! I know I haven’t posted a weight since December 17, so this doesn’t reflect all the ups and downs I saw during the holiday period, but it is where I am right now.

At the worst, during the holidays, I actually hit 155 pounds… nothing fit. All my clothes were too tight, even my face was puffy! I felt awful. I started to get sores on my belly from my clothes rubbing – I haven’t had those in over 3 years. So the weekend before New Years, I took control. I’ll be writing a couple of full posts about what I’m doing, but sugar is gone, gone gone… and I feel better for it. As for my weight? It’s much more in line with where it should be. Not there yet, but getting there!

Hot Yoga

2013/01/03 – 75 minutes hot yoga (90 minute class, sat out 3 poses)

Weight Training

2013/01/01 – P90X Week 1, Day 1 – Chest & Arms – 30 minutes, 1 set of each exercise
2013/01/06 – P90X Week 1, Day 2 – Plyometrics – 35 minutes

Week 1 of Ironman training is in the books. Good news? I completed every single workout in some form (OK, I should have done more P90X, and my Sunday run was harsh, but other than that, I did great!). P90X was hard, and left me with sore, achy shoulders and chest for several days. I’ll get stronger, but ow! I also learned to never, ever do Plyometrics prior to a bike or run workout.

I’m finding that juggling everything is already a challenge, and it will only get worse – after all, this week was only a 4 day work week! Planning is going to be key to make this all work.
