7/25 Weigh In Week 47

Loss for the week: 4.2 lbs.

Starting weight: 208.4 lbs
Current weight:147.4lbs.
Total loss to date:61 lbs.

Wohoo!!! So many good things to report for this week. I finished my first official triathlon and it felt great! I wanted to finish in under 1:30 and I did it in 1:23 so that was awesome and I felt great the whole time. I have done a practice one about a month ago and I felt terrible for the run part of it. I hadn't been on my diet and getting as many workouts in so I think those were a few good changes I made this time around. I also got all my workouts in every day(at least 2 hrs.) and mostly stuck to my diet. There was an after party for the tri so I splurged a little on some cheese curds(yes, I'm from Wisconsin) and a few other goodies. I was so happy to see this number on Saturday and glad that despite my splurging I was able to maintain that loss. I'm pumped and ready to continue on this journey and maybe next week's number will be my lowest yet(145 had been the lowest so far). I'm pretty sure I'm committed to do this through Sept. so despite the number on the scale I'm ready to give it a full 12 weeks. That's not too long of a time and I believe that is usually when I tend to hit a plateau anyway. So it's been a great week and I have a positive outlook for the weeks to come. I'm going to sign up for another tri in a few weeks so I'm pumped for that one. It was also really special to be able to do that with my husband. It was a great shared experience! The weather is beautiful so hopefully I can get in a good long walk with the family today.
